Military Operations, [61] operational level real-time strategy game where the complete army is simulated in real-time using OpenCL; Planet Explorers [62] [63] is using OpenCL to calculate the voxels.
The domain name bitcoin.org was registered on 18 August 2008. [15] On 31 October 2008, a link to a white paper authored by Satoshi Nakamoto titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System was posted to a cryptography mailing list. [16] Nakamoto implemented the bitcoin software as open-source code and released it in January 2009. [6]
The actual fork was preceded by Mike Hearn publishing a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP 64) on June 10, 2014, calling for the addition of "a small P2P protocol extension that performs UTXO lookups given a set of outpoints." [src 1] On December 27, 2014 Hearn released version 0.10 of the forked client XT, with the BIP 64 changes.
Bitmain's first product was the Antminer S1 which is an ASIC bitcoin miner making 180 gigahashes per second (GH/s) while using 80–200 watts of power. [8] Bitmain as of 2018 had 11 mining farms operating in China. [7] Bitmain was involved in the 2018 Bitcoin Cash split, siding with Bitcoin Cash ABC alongside Roger Ver. [9]
GPU mining is the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to "mine" proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. [1] Miners receive rewards for performing computationally intensive work, such as calculating hashes , that amend and verify transactions on an open and decentralized ledger.
Litecoin (Abbreviation: LTC; sign: Ł) is a decentralized peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and open-source software project released under the MIT/X11 license.Inspired by Bitcoin, Litecoin was among the earliest altcoins, starting in October 2011.
A diagram of a bitcoin transfer. The bitcoin protocol is the set of rules that govern the functioning of bitcoin.Its key components and principles are: a peer-to-peer decentralized network with no central oversight; the blockchain technology, a public ledger that records all bitcoin transactions; mining and proof of work, the process to create new bitcoins and verify transactions; and ...
In the context of cryptocurrency mining, a mining pool is the pooling of resources by miners, who share their processing power over a network, to split the reward equally, according to the amount of work they contributed to the probability of finding a block. A "share" is awarded to members of the mining pool who present a valid partial proof ...
