Is 5D Blood The Answer To Making Bitcoin Mining More Efficient?
Scalability is an issue that keeps plaguing the world of computer science and electronic engineering. Even though computer chips are becoming smaller and smaller over time, there is only so much space that can be filled with all of these electronic components. Addressing the scalability issue is just a matter of decentralizing the computing processes, according to various industry experts. But IBM is not so convinced, as they are experimenting with 5D blood to solve this problem. Introducing any form of liquid to computer parts sounds like a dangerous task, but in most cases, it is....

ASICRising, a German start-up is trying to find investors to produce a new high-performance microchip that it says would make bitcoin mining much cheaper and energy efficient. The process of mining is becoming increasingly expensive. While mining requires enormous amounts of energy to feed the computing power and cooling systems needed to get the hashing done, ASICRising happily says it has found a solution to this problem: an energy-efficient, low-voltage chip that together with specific software will reduce by more than half the energy needed to mine bitcoin.
CEX. IO, one of the leading bitcoin exchanges and cloud mining service providers, has announced the temporary suspension of its cloud mining services. They can attribute this policy change to the sudden and drastic drop in bitcoin value in the past weeks. The suspension is set to begin at the next bitcoin mining difficulty increase and it is unclear how long the suspension will continue. Jeffery Smilth, Chief Information Officer of CEX. IO, stated that this is a forced temporary measure, and. "...as soon as we get an opportunity to upgrade mining hardware, or come to more efficient terms....
