Green Mining: toward a less energetic impact of cryptocurrencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
While cryptocurrencies continue to gain popularity, their energy cost is increasingly becoming unsustainable. In this paper, we present an innovative scheme which eliminates the burden of the proof of work which is the main cause of the energy waste in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. The scheme is based on a green leader election scheme which guarantees a bounded average number of simultaneous mining whatever the size of the population in competition.

Since the number of threats originated from chemicals and chemical processes to human health and environment is not negligible, green chemistry has attracted the attention of researchers and scientists. It seems that application of the green chemistry principles in all stages of design energetic materials and production processes, optimizing or disposal of wastes and industrial effluents would ...
متن کاملMerged Mining: Curse of Cure?
Merged mining refers to the concept of mining more than one cryptocurrency without necessitating additional proof-of-work effort. Although merged mining has been adopted by a number of cryptocurrencies already, to this date little is known about the effects and implications. We shed light on this topic area by performing a comprehensive analysis of merged mining in practice. As part of this ana...

Plastic Bonded Explosives with inert binder despite having good mechanical properties and low sensitivity, because of containing inert materials, have low energy level. So investigations for replacing inert binder system with energetic binder system and high exploding components in the making of these materials are performing. It seems using energetic polymers and materials like Cyclotetramethy...
متن کاملA competitive Diels-Alder/1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of1-H-imidazole 3-oxide toward sulfonyl methane. A DFT study on the energetic and regioselectivity
The dual diene/1,3-dipolar character of 1-H-imidazole 3-oxide, HIO 1, allows this compound toparticipate in a competitive Diels-Alder (DA)/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction toward C=Sdouble bond of the electro-deficient sulfonyl methane SFM 2. The B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculatedrelative Gibbs free energies indicate that among the studied 13DC and DA reactions, former iscompletely preferr...
متن کاملGreen primaries: environmentally friendly energetic complexes.
Primary explosives are used in small quantities to generate a detonation wave when subjected to a flame, heat, impact, electric spark, or friction. Detonation of the primary explosive initiates the secondary booster or main-charge explosive or propellant. Long-term use of lead azide and lead styphnate as primary explosives has resulted in lead contamination at artillery and firing ranges and be...
