When someone says Ethereum, we all think of Vitalik Buterin. While this quirky and ingenious man is the face and founder of Ethereum, he is not the only one. Ethereum actually has a relatively large list of founders, each with their own contribution to the network. The initial 5 founders of ETH in 2013 can be noted as Vitalik Buterin, Anthony Di Iorio, Charles Hoskinson, Mihai Alisie, and Amir Chetrit. In 2014, more founders were added to the list, seen as Joseph Lubin, Gavin Wood, and Jeffrey Wilcke. Although around their founding time, there was not too much craze about cryptocurrency, Ethereum quickly became a mainstream name for its innovative platform allowing additional tokens to start and grow. As things began to pick up for Ethereum, reaching a market...

Cryptocurrency may sound daunting at first. After all, some baseline knowledge is needed before you can even get started holding the currency. For those who don’t know, cryptocurrency is an internet-based currency secured by the technology cryptography. Or in layman’s terms, it is a type of money that exists online. Cryptocurrency platforms secure digital currencies with special codes.  In some cases, cryptocurrency users must convert their coins to fiat to make purchases from leading retailers. The platform’s hesitation in accepting cryptocurrency has created a new opportunity for online businesses and marketplaces to bridge this gap. As a result, many consumers have since turned to a crypto marketplace to facilitate their purchases. Buying cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrency is...

10 Mar 2021 It seems that Nvidia is getting ready to start shipping their CMP HX Dedicated GPUs for Professional Crypto Mining that were announced last month. The company is apparently taking pre-orders from their partners for deliveries starting probably in early April for the lowest-end mining model – NVIDIA CMP 30HX D6 6G. Nvidia has rated the 6GB CMP 30HX GPU at 26 MH/s with 125W of power usage for Ethereum mining, though with further optimizations 28-32 MH/s could be possible (like on RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 models). The not so good news here, as we have expected unfortunately, is that you will be getting a “pro mining GPU” that is more-expensive, but comes without a video outputs, just 90 days warranty instead of 2-3 years and at a higher price than an alternative des...

12 Mar 2021 We got a tip with the actual mining performance that the new AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPUs deliver for Ethereum (ETH) mining and as you can see on the screenshot above you can get around 43.5 MH/s hashrate with the stock settings shown on the right via GPU-Z. No surprises here and pretty much on par with what we have assumed the RX 6700 XT would be capable of, based on its specifications that are very similar to the ones of the performance limited Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. The good news on the new AMD GPU is that there is no artificial performance limiter present, so Ethereum mining hashrate will be around 43 MH/s stock and with overclock of the video memory up to about 47-48 MH/s are apparently possible. It is interesting to note that not only the Ethere...
