IT House news on February 24, the article began to report a good news: today's cryptocurrency fell sharply, and even Ethereum, which is dominated by graphics card mining, fell by more than 11%, while the main bitcoin also has 8%.
You may recall that Nvidia made a little effort to maintain the graphics card market - LHR hash locks. Most of the new RTX 30 series graphics cards use LHR locks to ensure that the mining power is only half of the normal graphics card, thus dissuading some miners with limited capabilities.
As the cryptocurrency market begins to fall this week, the new generation of RTX 30 series graphics cards in dealers has already reduced prices, and the "original price card" that everyone is thinking about may not be far away. Of course, RTX 40 series graphics cards may not be far off.
At this time, clever speculators announced a so-called "Nvidia RTX LHR v2 Unlocker" on Github, claiming that it could remove the hash limit of RTX 30 and RTX A series graphics cards by modifying the BIOS. In addition to BIOS modifications, it also provides custom graphics drivers to unlock the full computing power of these graphics cards. As a result, a large group of users appeared online and began to look forward to its arrival.
However, some netizens pointed out that "Nvidia RTX LHR v2 Unlocker" claims that it can modify the graphics card firmware, thereby eliminating Nvidia's built-in computing power limitations, thereby improving the attractiveness of miners for the LHR version of the graphics card, thus helping it complete the sell-off, the author is just a speculator trying to profit from it.
But in fact, this so-called unlocker is just a long-planned hype + malicious attack. Instead of actually fixing the upper limit of mining performance, the program infects the host system with malware. IT House reminds you not to trust such programs, if you have downloaded, please reinstall the grid in time.
Publishers have seen an influx of users as soon as they hit the shelves today, including testers and white hats. The Red Panda Mining team found that this so-called unlocking program does not have any use, and it also contains malware. It can connect to remote servers to steal user data and PC hashrate.
