The topic of mining centralization has been a very important one over the past few weeks. GHASH.io, the Bitcoin network’s largest mining pool, has for the past month directed over 40% of the Bitcoin network’s hashpower, and two weeks ago briefly spiked…
Writing effective decentralized applications in Ethereum is at the same time easy and hard. The easy part we all know: rather than needing to create your own blockchain, manage complicated database code, deal with networking and NAT traversal, or any o…
Decentralization, n. The security assumption that a nineteen year old in Hangzhou and someone who is maybe in the UK, and maybe not, have not yet decided to collude with each other. There has been a large amount of ruckus in the past week about the is…
Robots In Agriculture – Automation has revolutionized the agricultural industry. Robots will increase agricultural gains and decrease employee expenses.
Cloud Computing – The adoption of cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) models are disrupting traditional enterprise software in health IT.
For most of the time, a great amount of the capacity is idle. A smart grid eliminates the need for building more power plants in the US for the next decade.
Development of the Ethereum project has gone very well over the months since inception. The core activity — development of the software platform — is on track and many developers around the world are starting to build small, exploratory distributed ap…
Nest offers a thermostat that learns and adapts to individual temperature preferences and commuting schedules. It programs itself, and does all of the work.
Agricultural biotechnology and new genetic computational tools could increase farm productivity, lower food prices, and work towards ending world hunger.
Online education provides a cheaper alternative to the declining value of a college education as tuition rates inversely rise.
By filling nurse shortages with Nurse Assistant Robots, human nurses can be more productive, adding quality to the patient experience while lowering costs.
Solar only produces 5 out of every 1000 Wh generated in the US over forty years after its invention. Are Solar Roadways the Future?
The declining cost of genomic sequencing is creating a demand for tools, like bioinformatic algorithms, to handle the increasing amount of biological data.
Although truly solving blockchain scalability fundamentally, that is to say figuring out a solution to the problem that every node must process every transaction, is a very hard problem, and all suggested solutions rely on either highly advanced crypto…
One of the challenges when creating a new cryptocurrency is figuring out what the distribution model is going to be. Who is going to receive the currency units, at what time, and what is the mechanism that decides? Despite the crucial importance of thi…
Google’s (GOOG) autonomous car project is unique because of the massive autonomous car data request to make its cars truly autonomous.
Our current proof of work design, blockchain-based proof of work, is the second iteration of our attempt to create a mining algorithm that is guaranteed to remain CPU-friendly and resistant to optimization by specialized hardware (ASICs) in the long te…
The Necessity to Build and Launch an Ecosystem on Genesis Day Imagine if Microsoft released the Xbox and there were no games. On the day on which the Ethereum genesis block is created, many of the elements of the ecosystem — core infrastructure, minin…
What is Ethereum, the Project? The Ethereum Project is an open source, community-driven effort designed to create a next-generation distributed application platform intended to be maximally flexible and powerful in the possibilities that it enables. Wh…
Analysts have dubbed graphene a “wonder nanomaterial”, however, Graphene may still be decades away from proving itself as a viable commercial product.
