Point is, that you can not finish VDF twice as fast (and probably not even by any other factor >1) with two CPUs, because they can't share work.

I second this recommendation. DBeaver is great and will work with almost every RDBMS you'll ever encounter.

Looks like it is the name of a FORTRAN subroutine[1] from MTS (Michigan Terminal System) that somehow creeped into our dictionary files. Now you can buy hoodies with "1 <3 PGNTTRP" prints and watch videos like that above, becau

Gas releases 50% less CO2 per kWh produced than coal, so it is a good intermediate to reduce emissions on the short term.

Germany invests in energy storage technology to harvest cheap surplus energy from the renewables and balance supply and demand over time. The spot price for electricity here reliably oscillates between 30 and 50 € / Mwh per day, with o

Assuming China had not become a liberal market economy with free capital flow and strong property rights while I'm typing this, doesn't that mean, the Chinese government effectively controls BTC because it can seize the global maj

That would be Seafile ( https://www.seafile.com ). Has a desktop sync client (like Dropbox), a Web interface which has all kind of useful features (like upload-only links) and a mobile client which actually works.

The network hash rate is roughly equivalent to 1M Antminer S9 rigs, which would cost something around $2bn, perhaps $3bn. Your attack scenario assumes an attacker who wants to extract a financial gain from his advantage while keeping a long

Mining will be in an equilibrium, but the equilibrium might be at a point, where the network can not be protected from a 51% attack. Currently, it will cost around $2bn to buy the hashing power to control Bitcoin - that's the price of

There are only gold miners in the original whitepaper. At the time of writing, nodes were supposed to be miners that used their CPU[sic!] power. Presently, the hard part has been outsourced to dedicated facilities (ASIC farms). But, and tha

“As the price of bitcoin stabilizes, then the net worldwide energy because of the block reward will start to decrease rather than increase.” I don't think so. As long as PoW is in place, the level of work required to create a block mus

digiconomist has a more "realistic" estimate by including real world factors like cooling costs, the operation of older, but still profitable hardware etc. into their balance sheet. Their number is 32 TWh over the year (vs 9,6 TWh

It is 90 GFLOPS at less that 5 Watts. That's not too shabby. Adapteva claims that the Epiphany cores have a GFLOPS/W ratio of 50. See here: http://streamcomputing.eu/blog/2012-08-27/processors-that-ca... Also, the boards for the backers

All the laptops I'm currently owning run fine and cool, except the one with ATI graphics. The open source radeon driver has broken power management and ATI stopped support for the GPU in it with the Catalyst driver.

What's really cool is, that on a system with a c-compiler and swig it is now possible (and trivial) to inline some C-code in a lua script, generate a swig wrapper from lua, compile it from lua, load it as a module into the lua interpreter a
