es per second. Modern hardware such as the ASIC miner creates around 100 terahashes per second. So that’s a factor of around 125 trillion. Stack smashing goes on to explain in his video that at this speed or rate it would “only” take a few quadrillion years to mine a Bitcoin unit...

Bitcoin and Ethereum, now amounts to an annualized carbon footprint of over 173 Mt CO2, ahead of what’s currentlygeneratedby a country like the Netherlands. In addition, Bitcoin mining alone produces some 37+ kt of electronic waste yearly, which is “comparableto the sm...
One of the questions that's swirled around Bitcoin mining performance for the past few years is why Nvidia GPUs are so thoroughly outclassed by AMD products. We dig into the question, test some CUDA optimized kernels, and discuss the particulars of GPU a
Because it’s a pain. Ethereum addresses are 42 characters long while Bitcoin uses 34 characters. The longest is likely Monero, which relies on addresses with characters counts between 95 and 106. This is why users typicallycopy and pastetheir addresses, which serves as a virtual gold mine fo...
We are closely watching the Coin Magi (XMG) development as for the moment it is still pretty much the most actively developed alternative crypto currency that continues to be mineable with CPU only and there is no GPU miner for it available. The developers just recently announced the release ...
Using a mining program called MinerGate and mining for Monero (XMR), I can mine at a Hash Rate of 48 Hashes/sec with my CPU, and 560 H/s with my GPU. One of the first lessons you’ll learn about mining. It’s all about GPU power. It’s almost useless to mine on a CPU, alm...
