Mining bitcoin con computers quantistici

Satoshi contro la fisica, come i miner quantistici potrebbero rendere obsoleti gli ASIC. Le attrezzature quantistiche potrebbero rappresentare una minaccia maggiore per le blockchain rispetto alla decrittazione quantistica. Con la progressiva crescita del settore dell'informatica quantistica, la competizione per il mining di Bitcoin potrebbe essere sul punto di entrare nell'equivalente dell'era atomica.  Sebbene i computer quantistici di oggi siano in gran parte sperimentali, i recenti progressi nella tecnologia dei chip quantistici e nelle funzioni ibride di intelligenza artificiale hanno fatto avanzare il settore più rapidamente di quanto molti scienziati avessero previsto. Una delle maggiori preoccupazioni del settore è lo sviluppo di soluzioni di crittografia quantum-proof. Il timore che i computer quantistici possano violare la crittografia standard ha portato all'introduzione di nuovi protocolli e standard. Questa, tuttavia, non è l'unica potenziale minaccia di livello catastrofico che i computer quantistici rappresentano per il settore della blockchain. Mining di Bitcoin Sebbene il mondo sia ancora lontano decenni dall'avere un computer quantistico universale in grado di surclassare i supercomputer nella maggior parte dei compiti, esistono già macchine in grado di raggiungere la supremazia quantistica nell'esecuzione di algoritmi specifici per risolvere compiti dedicati. Uno degli algoritmi in cui i sistemi quantistici sono in grado di eccellere si chiama “algoritmo di Grover” e, in teoria, potrebbe essere applicato direttamente al mining di blockchain. Il mining di Bitcoin, ad esempio, si basa su un concetto di proof-of-work che prevede la risoluzione di puzzle crittografici. Man mano che i computer e gli algoritmi di mining diventano più efficienti nel risolvere questi puzzle, la loro difficoltà aumenta. Ciò aiuta a mantenere la blockchain e funziona come un metodo di decentralizzazione de facto. Se qualcuno riuscisse a realizzare un computer abbastanza efficiente da risolvere facilmente i problemi, allora tutti i compiti diventerebbero più difficili. Teoricamente, il limite massimo di questa difficoltà crittografica - chiamato “target” nel gergo del mining - sarebbe da qualche parte nell'area di 2 elevato alla potenza di 256. Le leggi della fisica, così come le intendono gli scienziati, impedirebbero anche ad un computer quantistico universale con capacità di fault-tolerant di eseguire i calcoli necessari per risolvere questo problema di crittografia di quattuorvigintilioni (un numero di 78 cifre). Satoshi e la scienza Satoshi Nakamoto e altri, a cui si deve lo sviluppo di Bitcoin, prevedevano un futuro in cui i computer sarebbero diventati sempre più potenti. Hanno compreso che ciò minacciava la natura decentralizzata di Bitcoin e hanno implementato alcune protezioni. Il “genesis block” Bitcoin è stato estratto utilizzando una tipica CPU dell'era 2008, probabilmente equivalente ad un Pentium 4. Il blocco successivo, il 'blocco 1', fu stato estratto sei giorni dopo.  Da quel momento in poi, tuttavia, il tempo previsto per ogni blocco successivo è stato di 10 minuti. I miner sono passati dalle CPU alle GPU, con una breve incursione negli FPGA, prima di stabilizzarsi sullo status quo a partire dal terzo trimestre del 2024, i miner a circuito integrato specifico per le applicazioni (ASIC). Mentre le CPU svolgevano una sorta di lavoro universale di calcolo e le GPU eccellevano nel calcolo specifico necessario per risolvere i puzzle crittografici associati al mining di Bitcoin, gli impianti ASIC sono stati appositamente sviluppati per risolvere la crittografia SHA-256. Tuttavia, nonostante i progressi hardware, la rete tenta ancora di garantire che ogni blocco richieda 10 minuti per essere estratto. Mining quantistico La prossima frontiera dell'industria del mining potrebbe essere rappresentata dagli impianti ibridi quantistici/classici. Sfruttando il già citato algoritmo di Grover, i miner che utilizzano un computer quantistico sufficientemente tollerante ai guasti potrebbero teoricamente aumentare quadraticamente l'efficienza di estrazione rispetto alle tecniche attuali. Ciò non varierebbe il tempo necessario per estrarre un blocco. Tuttavia, potrebbe aumentare la difficoltà oltre le capacità dell'hardware non quantistico. Così come nel 2024 non sarebbe possibile (o redditizio) minare Bitcoin utilizzando un PC, i miner quantistici potrebbero rendere obsoleti gli ASIC. Tuttavia, vi sono una miriade di sfide che dovrebbero essere risolte prima che ciò accada. La principale è che i computer quantistici non sono ancora abbastanza maturi. Ma, come detto, i miner non avrebbero bisogno di un computer quantistico universale. Un impianto di mining realizzato con apparecchiature classiche potrebbe interfacciarsi con un chip quantistico dedicato per eseguire funzioni algoritmiche di alto livello, sfruttando così i vantaggi della meccanica quantistica e la fattibilità dei computer binari. Esistono anche numerose soluzioni di calcolo quantistico basate su cloud che potrebbero scaricare le spese di sviluppo di un computer quantistico grazie a soluzioni quantum-as-a-service personalizzate per l'esecuzione dell'algoritmo di Grover.

Insights Unveiled: Global Survey Explores How Blockchain is Reshaping Payment Systems Worldwide

The collaborative survey by Ripple and the US Faster Payments Council (FPC) has unveiled crucial insights into the evolving dynamics of the payment industry, specifically highlighting the transformative role of blockchain technology. In its second annual edition in 2023, the survey gathers perspectives from over a hundred industry leaders, shedding light on the adoption and implications of blockchain in payment systems.

A key revelation from the survey is the overwhelming consensus among payment leaders on the substantial benefits of blockchain technology. A staggering 77% of respondents acknowledge the positive impact of blockchain on payments, emphasizing its role in cost savings, enhanced security, quicker settlement times, and improved transparency. Importantly, these advantages are not limited to specific transaction types but extend across various payment formats, including domestic and cross-border transactions such as peer-to-peer (P2P), consumer-to-business (C2B), and business-to-business (B2B) transactions.

The survey underscores a notable emphasis on B2B transactions, aligning with the industry's broader trend of leveraging technology for efficiency and innovation in business transactions. Beyond B2B, the interest in applying blockchain to other payment areas like P2P and account-to-account (A2A) transactions signifies the technology's growing recognition for its versatility and adaptability.

While the survey reflects a positive sentiment towards blockchain and cryptocurrency in payments, it doesn't overlook existing challenges. Regulatory uncertainties, price volatility, and a lack of widespread adoption are recognized as significant barriers. However, a noteworthy shift is observed as more organizations accept cryptocurrencies for payments, indicating a gradual overcoming of aversion and risk concerns associated with digital currencies.

Sustainability and efficiency take center stage as crucial considerations in the adoption of blockchain technology. The survey reveals that over 81% of respondents express concerns about the environmental impact of blockchain's energy consumption. This places a spotlight on the industry's responsibility to address environmental considerations in the ongoing development and adoption of blockchain technologies.

Yet, the survey also reveals a persistent lack of awareness among respondents. Only 53% were familiar with the difference between Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work, emphasizing the need for increased education and awareness initiatives to promote a broader understanding of blockchain technology.

In summary, the survey paints a dynamic picture of the payment industry, where blockchain emerges as a transformative force. As payment leaders grapple with challenges and seize opportunities, blockchain's role is set to grow, fostering innovation, efficiency, and transparency in the ever-evolving landscape of global payments.

Bury Him with the Roses

TW: mentions of being buried alive

Damian finds out that his twin brother Danyal is alive after finding an article about purple-back gorillas, and as much as he dreads it he does have to inform his father about the child he never knew about. 

Chaos explodes in the house after that revelation. Everyone is doing everything they can to dig up information on the kid. What’s weird though is that getting any sort of information out of Amity Park is proving to be quite difficult. It was a miracle it seems that Damian even found the article in the place. 

In the end though they were able to find an address for the Fenton household. Which is why one week after that discovery Bruce, Damian, and Dick are all on a plane towards Illonis. 

Only when they finally reach their destination late in the evening—the sun already nearly set—, and knock on the door do they come face to face with two grieving parents. The three of them are told that Danyal had died, and had been buried mere hours ago. The two are kind enough though to give them the location of his burial after they explain why they are there. 

Despite it now being dark Damian refuses to go back to the hotel, and demands they go to the grave that instant. He has waited so long to be near his brother once more, and he will not waste another second. 

Walking through the graveyard was a silent affair; guilt heavy in the air. As they walk closer though a light can be seen in the distance along with two individuals. Both of whom are holding shovels; digging. Once it is clear that it is Danyal’s grave specifically nothing is going to hold Damian back. 

He dashes forward and tackles the closest graverobber. Bruce and Dick not far behind grab the other one out of the knee deep hole already dug. The two quickly try to explain that they are friends of Danyal, and are there to save him. That his parents buried him alive. They beg for a moment of silence to prove their case. 

That is when a weak, muffled cry can be heard coming from below their feet.

➺ suguru x gn!reader

if you set a timer to nap suguru will absolutely sabotage you.

let me set the scene. you're getting comfortable laying on his chest his arms secured around you and your eyes closing with a content hum and then suddenly your like 'oh hold on' and grab your phone to set a timer then promptly explain that you have something to do so you don't wanna oversleep during your nap and end up losing time.

but you're so tired, he knows a short nap won't be enough rest though, he says nothing. you get comfortable on his chest again, your cheeks smooshed against his skin and doze off shortly after thanks to the soothing hand at your back and head and the warmth of his skin. when you're asleep this man will fully just grab your phone and cancel the timer, that way, you get all the rest your body needs undisturbed and wake up when your ready.

if it's assignments or notes or anything really that he can do for you, then he will do it for you. taking neat concise notes for you, or finishing up your research paper. no this is not a violation of academic integrity because you are his baby. you are his person and he is yours so to anyone else you may as well be the same person, and anyway he isn't plagiarizing or cheating. suguru does a really good job actually.

when you wake up later, dry eyes slowly blinking away the sleep and readjusting to the light. the skin of your cheek turned pink from how long it's been resting against him softly greeting him in a small raspy voice. when you wake up enough to realize the timer hadn't gone off and reach over to your phone to check the time, the sleep leaves you so fast. you're frenzied, panicked, confused. as if you've been splashed with cold water. suddenly awake and upset about all the time you had wasted what about the timer? how are you supposed to finish everything now?? only for you to find everything done and neatly organized for you to look over, anything with a tight deadline? already sent in.

oh. well.. now that you have nothing that urgently needs your attention (besides him) you can lay back down on his chest and continue where you left off 🙂‍↕️

Fundamentals of Building a Blockchain

The blockchain is a transformative technology that has had a profound impact on various sectors from finance to supply chain management. While the journey to master blockchain development is a complex one, understanding its fundamentals is the first step towards proficiency. This article delves into these essential building blocks of creating a blockchain.

1. Understanding Blockchain Basics

Before you build a blockchain, it's crucial to understand its core elements: - Blockchain Structure: A blockchain is a distributed ledger of transactions, organized into blocks. Each block contains a list of transactions, a reference to the previous block (through its hash), and the block's unique hash. This chain of blocks forms the blockchain. Creating a blockchain structure involves creating a data structure to store blocks, and each block will contain a set of transactions. For simplicity, we'll create a simple blockchain structure where each block stores a string as data. Also, we'll use the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function to create the hash for each block. Here's a simple C++ implementation: #include #include #include #include using namespace std; // Function to calculate SHA256 string calculateSHA256(string data) { unsigned char hash; SHA256_CTX sha256; SHA256_Init(&sha256); SHA256_Update(&sha256, data.c_str(), data.size()); SHA256_Final(hash, &sha256); stringstream ss; for(int i = 0; i < SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++) { ss - H is the current block's hash - PH is the previous block's hash - D is the current block's data - '+' indicates concatenation of the strings - Hash is the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function - Read the full article

Unlocking the Potential of Ethereum: The Rise of Staking and Lido Finance

Close to 24 million Ether locked up among 744,000 validators signifies the immense growth of staking in the Ethereum network. As the leading user-friendly staking model, Lido Finance has played a crucial role in this transformative journey. Let's delve deeper into the significance of staking and how Lido Finance has shaped the landscape of Ethereum.

The Rise of Staking and Locked Assets

On Monday, the total amount staked in Ethereum reached a remarkable milestone of $45 billion, representing approximately 20% of all Ethereum in circulation. This achievement highlights the exponential growth of staking and its increasing prominence within the Ethereum ecosystem. Validators participate in staking by pledging their tokens to the network, ensuring the security of the platform while receiving financial rewards in return. According to the Dune Analytics dashboard created by the user hildobby, nearly 24 million Ether is currently locked up among 744,000 validators who process transactions, solidifying Ethereum's robust infrastructure.

Transitioning from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake

In a significant move, Ethereum bid farewell to the energy-intensive proof-of-work consensus mechanism and embraced the more sustainable proof-of-stake approach in September of last year. Previously utilized by prominent networks such as Bitcoin, proof-of-work consumed substantial amounts of energy. However, the update implemented in April of this year enabled the withdrawal of staked Ethereum, which was previously locked for extended periods. Before the critical Shanghai update, approximately $29 billion worth of Ethereum, equivalent to 14.5% of the circulating supply, was staked. This achievement demonstrates Ethereum's commitment to establishing a consensus approach that prioritizes environmental sustainability, marking a significant step forward for the network.

Lido Finance: Leading the Staking Revolution

When it comes to staking Ethereum, Lido Finance stands at the forefront as the most popular option in the crypto market. As the largest liquid staking protocol, Lido Finance holds a substantial market share, accounting for around 32% of all staked Ethereum. The protocol's success can be attributed to its user-friendly staking model, attracting a wide range of participants. Lido Finance offers a seamless staking experience, allowing users to stake any amount of Ethereum in exchange for staked Ethereum tokens known as "stETH." This accessibility has played a pivotal role in democratizing staking and attracting a diverse community of stakeholders.

Embracing a Sustainable Future

The rise of staking and the emergence of Lido Finance have propelled Ethereum towards a more sustainable future. By shifting from energy-intensive proof-of-work to eco-friendly proof-of-stake, Ethereum has significantly reduced its carbon footprint. This transition has not only attracted a multitude of validators and locked substantial assets but has also paved the way for a greener and more efficient blockchain ecosystem.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the growth of staking in Ethereum, as exemplified by the significant amount of locked assets and the dominance of Lido Finance, signifies a turning point in the network's evolution. With a more sustainable consensus approach and user-friendly staking protocols, Ethereum is positioned to unlock its true potential and continue shaping the future of decentralized finance.
