    $5 Million Campaign Aims to Make Bitcoin More Energy Efficient

    You make good points esteemed friend, however: The security aspect i meant, is chain security, which is where all the energy goes into. being scammed is somebodies local security, or lack thereof. e.g by entrusting some scriptkiddy exchange with your keys / being hacked on exchange or on your...

    $5 Million Campaign Aims to Make Bitcoin More Energy Efficient

    kinda funny, they say the intention is to make it more energy efficient. if you change to proof of stake it not only does that, but also changes the economic model, and compromises the network security or at least come up with an idea that does not change the economic/tokenomics model of the...

    SK hynix Launches 2TB Gold P31 Ultra-low-power Solid State Drive

    hmm yeahs, so maximum power usage is 6.4watts, not sure how representable the 172 number would be to end-users seems to me they are comparing it to the samsung 970 evo plus with the 434% number (172/434 = 39.7) on page5: P31: 2742MB/s @ 2.35watt average power. the samsung 970 evo plus: 2754 @...

    i was just wondering on the technical side, that this could imply that RDMA2 does worse energyefficiency for mining compared to RDNA1. What does (GPU) mining traditionally use: memory bandwidth: in other words saying the turbo-hyper-infinity-cache thing could perform worse in combination with...

    AMD Seemingly Working on Cryptocurrency-focused Navi 10 GPU

    ancient old question: what are we gonna do with the containers of old junk that no gamer is gonna buy as soon as we release RDNA2? throw this useless piece of silicon at the cryptoworld. but serious: does RDNA2 loose the fight against RDNA1 on this specific function? interesting...

    Intel Marketing Claims i5-9600KF Better than 3800X, i3-9350KF Better than 3600X

    I would say the same if AMD showed some nice figures. NOTHING absolutely nothing should be taken as fact from any company promoting their own products (directly or indirectly through bought companies). Bring in the independent reviewers and independent benchmarks. b.t.w. adored was right on a...
