FPGA Mining blog
FPGA is a hardware circuit that a user can program to carry out one or more logical operations. Taken a step further, FPGAs are integrated circuits, or ICs, which are sets of circuits on a chip – that’s the “array” part. Those circuits, or arrays, are groups of programmable logic …
Cryptocurrencies use distributed ledgers-blockchains to record transaction data, a critical process for the whole system to work is reaching a collective agreement-consensus on the content of the ledger. How this consensus is achieved impacts the security and economic parameters of the protocol. A blockchain is a linked list of blocks, …
