RandomX VS fishnet

This is not true for all crypto coins. A small proportion of mining hash functions are deliberately designed to thwart ASICs, e.g. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. It's a cat-and-mouse game, though: CryptoNight was designed to fulfill the same role, but ultimately failed: https://monerodocs.org/proof-of-work/cryptonight/.

Can we reference this specs doc from the Randomx repo https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/master/doc/specs.md . I am going to be using the variables K and H as described in the doc.

Monero uses randomx, an ASIC-resistant and CPU-friendly POW algorithm created by Monero community members, designed to make the use of mining-specific hardware unfeasible. Monero previously used CryptoNight and variations of this algorithm. More info in the GitHub repo.

Here's the randomx github. Or at least I think its the same randomx that xmr uses? https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. There's some stuff in there under the documentation section.

Monero does not have ASICs since RandomX was implemented in 2019. CPU is the best way to mine it. See https://github.com/tevador/RandomX.

What are you basing this on? To me it seems like difficulty is set by limiting search depth/time: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet/blob/master/src/api.r...

The LiChess documentation indicates how many nodes are searched: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet/blob/master/doc/protocol.md

The eval graph comes from an analysis done by fishnet. The analysis that you see changing is done locally in the browser on your device. That is why there is a difference.

YOU can help by running this: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet

Game analyses are made in a distributed way, but only accepted from users they trust. You can check the tool they use for that here and they instructions to use it.

It's not on the user's device and not on their servers. The game analysis is done by fishnet using donated CPU time.

You can run a program on your computer, so that Lichess can run Stockfish analysis using your CPU https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet
