Centralized VS Decentralized Crypto Exchanges

December 16, 2020

When many different cryptocurrencies emerged in the early 2010s, there was an increase in demand for platforms where these assets could be swapped and traded. This is how cryptocurrency exchanges appeared. Historically, centralized exchanges (CEXs) came first: they managed to attract traders from all over the world and became highly liquid. CEXs are key drivers of the entire crypto industry; basically, they set the crypto assets’ prices. 

DEX crypto exchanges have been largely known for their poor liquidity and less comfortable interfaces as well as lowered security risks; however, recently privacy has become much more prioritized. Thanks to Uniswap and other decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, the industry is changing right before our eyes! 

In this crypto exchange review, we will compare decentralized and centralized exchanges and consider their pros and cons.

BEAM Cryptocurrency and Its Peculiarities

December 11, 2020

Privacy coins have some unique features guaranteeing them a nice place in the crypto world. Although cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are often referred to as anonymous, it is nothing but a misnomer. By nature, such blockchains are public. Upon linking a wallet address to a user, the entire transaction history becomes known to all the participants of the network. Privacy coins solve this problem by using various anonymizing methods: for example, Beam cryptocurrency is the first-ever one to have applied Mimblewimble privacy technology.

Video Сard Overclocking for Mining: Increasing Hash Rate and Cutting Power Consumption

November 24, 2020

This is another article in the series where I share my experience with beginner miners. Last time, we talked mainly about setting up the rigs; today, we’ll be learning about video card overclocking which is used to increase hash rate and cut power consumption.

Using special software, we can increase performance of the processor, RAM and other hardware components. However, in GPU mining it makes sense to tinker with video cards only. Actually, it means changing AMD card timings, voltage, and core and memory frequency. Let’s take a look at how it’s done on Windows and Hive OS.

Ethereum 2.0: A New DeFi Round

November 23, 2020

In 2014, five visionary minds came together to lay the groundwork for a platform and a programming language aimed at facilitating any developer who wishes to build and publish next-generation distributed applications on the blockchain. The platform was named Ethereum and had its mainnet frontier launch in July 2015.

Launched with the Proof-of-Work mechanism, Ethereum showed immense potential as a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. Developers could use it to codify, decentralize, secure, and trade just about anything including voting, domain names, financial exchanges, crowdfunding, company governance, contracts and agreements, intellectual property or smart properties. 

After the mainnet frontier launch, the platform went through at least four planned upgrades between March 2016 and December 2019. However, none of these updates was meant to change the consensus mechanism of the platform. The upgrade to Ethereum 2.0 — which is to be launched on December 1, 2020 — is a pretty radical shift. It plans to move away from the Proof-of-Work mechanism to the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. Along with it, it is aimed at enhancing the platform’s scalability, sustainability, and safety.
