  • I don’t know man. If I have a framework laptop AND I regularly attend computer events of some sort, the framework ambassador programs do not sound all that different than the usual but you got free merch. That is the people they are targeting. You can even say their fanboy or whatever equivalent.

    Ultimately, framework knows there are people that are actively using their products, attending events and love to talk about their products. This can be seen in another way of framework giving those people free merch for their free marketing that they always do anyway.















  • The second premise is very dependent on the algorithm and the hardware itself. “Faster” can be very different when parallelization comes into play. Baring that, ASIC’s also a thing. Also, Moore’s law has not been very relevant since around 2020? The new Moore’s law is power efficiency and not transistor density. Say for example, we’ve peaked at 5GHz on a single core performance with x86 ISA. Then the next step is how to reduce the power consumption for the same 5GHz.

    Now, the readme mentioned about using Argon2id. A cpu-memory-hard function. So you are also limited by the theoretical maximum memory that you could allocate to crack the puzzle faster.
