On Ethereum the three most popular ones are DAI, USDC, and USDT. All are pegged to $1. There are also more niche stablecoinds, such as RAI. https://ethereum.org/en/stablecoins

I agree about the energy use of PoW. On Ethereum, the PoS beacon chain has been live for almost a year now [1], with the merging of the PoW and PoS networks happening next year. We're now at the point where the specs for the merge tran

HN has a hateboner for cryptos, which most of the time is based on purely illogical assumptions of tech they have no understanding of. Reddit is fine, but it heavily depends on what you want. r/ethdev is good if you're interested

You're confusing nodes with mining, you don't really need much more than a RasPi with a sufficiently large SSD to run a node.

Shuttle had solid-fuel boosters and hypergolic thrusters for on-orbit maneuvering. The Delta IV Heavy, on the other hand, is a fully hydrogen-powered rocket: three common cores, with an RL10-powered upper stage. It also launched the Parker

You can run a validator on a Raspberry Pi, or as most people do, on an Intel NUC or an AMD-based equivalent micro-PC. A modest power consumption would be a continuous draw of 10 watts. Now, assuming every single one of the 110,000+ validato

On Ethereum's proof of stake network, over 90% of the rewards come from simply attesting correctly to the state of the chain every 7-or-so minutes. Block rewards are a nice little bonus, but effectively irrelevant in terms of rewards i

The orbiter was reusable, the boosters were refurbishable, and the external tank basically crashed into the ocean.

There's also Session, which runs their own p2p network of onion routers as a part of their blockchain initiative [1]. Status is another, which runs p2p waku nodes and is heavily connected to Ethereum [2]. Neither of them requires a pho

269 peers, 104 representatives (I presume stakers)? Ethereum has over 10 000 Eth1 nodes online, and 75 000 stakers (+14 000 queued) currently validating the Eth2 network.

The launch time changes constantly, as there's no real time provided by SpaceX: everything is an estimate based on road closures and NOTAMs. If you want to keep track of this launch (and all other launches that happen), I've made

As far as manufacturing capacity goes, AMD's GPU and CPU manufacturing is incredibly constrained due to the sheer volume of console SoCs they have to pump out. I believe 80% of their N7 wafer capacity at TSMC is currently dedicated to

The process name doesn’t have anything to do with the physical dimensions of the transistor. It’s a marketing term, a lower number implying a newer node. Besides, using one metric to measure a 3D object wouldn’t make too much sense, at leas

What does 5G enable that 2G, 3G, 4G, and even WiFi wouldn't have already enabled? There's huge hype for 5G enabled industrial IoT, but how is this any different from connecting the devices to WiFi or a 2G/3G/4G network?

Intel's 10 nm was delivered early last year in the form of one U-series CPU with a broken iGPU - not that it were a great chip, but they did deliver. Ice Lake mobile CPUs, built on the 10 nm+ process, are shipping as we speak, with Del

The Ryzen mobile CPUs are quite far behind Intel's offerings at the moment - they're manufactured on a 12 nm process and use the Zen+ uarch, instead of 7 nm/Zen 2 the new desktop chips use. They have the advantage in GPU perf
