AsicBoost - A Speedup for Bitcoin Mining
نویسنده
چکیده
AsicBoost is a method to speed up Bitcoin mining by a factor of approximately 20%. The performance gain is achieved through a highlevel optimization of the Bitcoin mining algorithm which allows for drastic reduction in gate count on the mining chip. AsicBoost is applicable to all types of mining hardware and chip designs. This paper presents the idea behind the method and describes the information flow in implementations of AsicBoost .

Rejecting the arguments of the sanctity of bitcoin mining and proving its legitimacy by Reward Contract (Joaleh)
Bitcoin soon attracted the attention of experts and the general public around the world, including the Islamic community. Due to the novelty of the subject, although little research has been done to examine the legitimacy of bitcoin mining from the perspective of Muslim thinkers, this paper is responsible for examining two reasons in the research of contemporary Sunni thinkers. The two reasons ...
متن کاملOptimising the SHA256 Hashing Algorithm for Faster & More Efficient Bitcoin Mining
Since its inception in early 2009, Bitcoin has attracted a substantial amount of users and the popularity of this decentralised virtual currency is rapidly increasing day by day. Over the years, an arms race for mining hardware has resulted with miners requiring more and more hashing power in order to remain alive in the Bitcoin mining arena. The hashing rate and the energy consumption of the m...
متن کاملIn-Depth Analysis of Bitcoin Mining Algorithm Across Different Hardware
We present an in-depth analysis of Bitcoin mining algorithm across different hardware. We analyzed four mining algorithms from cgminer for CPUs and explored how number of cores, clock frequency, and various cache parameters affect the performance. Furthermore, we look into Intel’s hardware SHA-256 support in upcoming Skylake architecture and predict speedups gained there. We found that massivel...
متن کاملSimulating fraudolent mining strategies in a simplified Bitcoin Network
The goal of the project is the evaluation of the Bitcoin mining process, through its simulation in TinyCoin, a simplified version of Bitcoin. In particular, it is required to consider one or more fraudolent versions of the mining process and to compare them with the standard mining process/between themselves. In TinyCoin, each user has a single address and the transactions are simplified with r...
متن کاملWhen Bitcoin Mining Pools Run Dry - A Game-Theoretic Analysis of the Long-Term Impact of Attacks Between Mining Pools
Bitcoin has established itself as the most successful cryptocurrency with adoption seen in many commercial scenarios. While most stakeholders have jointly benefited from the growing importance of Bitcoin, conflicting interests continue to negatively impact the ecosystem. In particular, incentives to derive short-term profits from attacks on mining pools threaten the long-term viability of Bitco...
