Attention! The first post links to a fake Github repository with malware. The official Monero P2Pool repository is https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool - always check SHA256 hashes and GPG signatures when you download releases!

Re: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU hashrate based on RandomX, Ghostrider, AstroBWT and Puffer
Do you consider the AMD CPU Ryzen 7 5800X3D hashrate of 17.75 kH/s as listed on nicehash.com to be fake? I don't have a chance to check because I think CPU mining is pointless at the moment. And one processor needs a lot of hardware.
It is 100% fake. Bigger cache doesn't give it any advantage in RandomX because 5800X already has enough cache (2 MB per thread), so both will run at 10-11 kh/s with tuned memory.

Re: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU hashrate based on RandomX, Ghostrider, AstroBWT and Puffer
I have so far considered data from nicehash to be a fairly authoritative source. According to your source, the AMD 5950X processor hash is 23,37 kH/s. This is an overestimated hashrate. https://xmrig.com/benchmark?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+9+5950X+16-Core+Processor I saw tests of this processor with a result of 18-19kH/s.
This is the official xmrig benchmark site, all tests there are done online and validated on the server. What you see in the table at the top is an overclocked and highly tuned CPU (i.e. consider it competitive benchmarking), probably water cooled and with tweaked memory. 18-19 kh/s for 5950X is actually low, it can easily do 20-21 kh/s with just a bit of tuning.

That's an impossible bullshit number. You can find real numbers for each CPU on xmrig.com/benchmark 5800X3D can do a bit above 10 kh/s, same as the regular 5800X.

Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency
Ever since 8/13 I have not been able to mine XMR on Mining Pool Hub. Not sure what changed but I'm missing something. Please assist.
Miningpoolhub didn't update their Monero nodes, you have to switch to another pool (preferably not to the top 2 largest pools): https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero

Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency
Probably this was answered in a way or another, hence I start with apologizing for being somewhat lazy and didn't research deeply and just came asking. Is Monero and the official wallet working good with Ledger Nano hardware wallets? Is the setup mature enough? I would like to finally move my few moneroj from paper wallet to hardware wallet (basically to have one HD seed for both BTC and XMR), but I want to be sure the underlying parts are mature enough.
Maybe somebody having his moneroj already on HW can help with this? Thank you.
A crash perhaps, but not the end of GPU mining. With a faster randomx implementation soon to be released, gpu miners can move to secure the Monero network instead. At a price of $192 monero generates around $36.34 Million annually to the miners. But the price is likely to rise..
Looking forward for the faster randomx implementation!
A VAST majority of coins are being hoarded and hodl'd despite the utility and cash like fungibility provided by XMR.
I can only partially agree on that point. Some coins are in long-term hold for sure, but the reality is that Monero is being used much more than BTC. Daily Monero transaction count is currently 8-10% of Bitcoin's despite being only 1/200 of BTC market cap. XMR almost overtook BTC on CoinCards: https://nitter.net/CoinCards/status/1508324025256202246
I have 7 ryzen CPU that I use for raptoreum mining and it was so profitable when raptoreum coin was at its ATH but now its not even worth mining, is it time to shut down my rig? .
