Heat, once seen as a negative byproduct of #Bitcoin mining, is now being repurposed and utilized, transforming a former externality into a valuable resource. What can be the future of ASIC machines in terms of their design? Type 1 ASIC - Optimal Efficiency, Peak Hashrate: Advanced ASICs designed for maximum performance and efficiency with lower operating temperatures. Type 2 ASIC - High-Temperature Operation: ASICs engineered for higher temperatures with durable performance, competitive hashrate, and integrated heat management. Check out this amazing presentation by Tyler Stevens talking about ASIC heat reuse. https://lnkd.in/gXqShrqs #ASIC #heat #Bitcoin #mining #recycle

When the SEC goes gunning, who is paying for the bullets? It's reported in CryptonewsZ, that market makers Gotbit, ZMQuant, and CLS GLOBAL are under heavy fire. Anna Baydakova who has written for The Block and CoinDesk recently produced an article featuring a 20 year old college student who 'For 15k, He'll fake your market volume. You'll get on CoinMarketCap' Anton Golub covered the story already here in LinkedIn. Irena Heaver produced a similar article with UAE focus, though not mentioning any market makers specifically. Yes, the SEC taking action is right within the scope of its responsibility. But is it the best solution? 'When the SEC goes gunning, who is paying for the bullets?' The taxpayers in the largest #crypto , #blockchain and #web3 economy in the world - The US. But US also has a massive cryptosceptic and newtech (particularly new virtual tech) resistant populous that completely dwarfs those in our 'space'. Costing them tax dollars to fund government reaction on 'stuff' they already hate with a vengeance, isn't a way to win new friends. Our sector needs a path to 'normalization'. ETFs are only somehow a thin ray of light in an otherwise dark room. I see these activities Gotbit, ZMQuant, and CLS GLOBAL stand accused of, a bit differently. I see them as a necessary infection, virus or disease that our world needs to become immune from. Tony Drummond, though delivering on #token launches, is an uncommon advocate for project owners asking themselves serious questions about if and when tokens are really needed. 9ja Cosmos with several active products, can't see ERC 20 solutions sensible, at least in the current landscape. Solana solutions using Rust are less technically vulnerable, but the differences don't negate the potential for fake trades. 'Fake trades were up to 98% of trading volume for some tokens' - Anton Golub. Project Token trade volume can be nominal compared to that of a big 'coin'. The leader, Bitcoin has currently at over USD $1.2 trn market cap, and over 30,000m/day in trade volume, while Ape Coin (Bored Apes) and Blur (Marketplace) are just over $424m., with $47m and $37m vol. BLAST which arrived in a fanfare is just $187m/ 28m vol , while the now obscure Nubcat is $34m / 4m vol. An individual too obscure for the Forbes Rich List, can successfully feign revival of even project tokens with visibility. Launch tokens not yet on CoinMarketCap are nominally worth $0 We need to find a solution to negative actors who inflate launches making 'unborn' tokens seem active. The work of the SEC is merely going to medicate the symptoms over and over, as afflictions arise. It isn't going to eradicate the disease problem. Perhaps a 'Token Union' where one entity holds a token representing a launch flow of unconnected project owners is an answer? From an integrity perspective, 9ja Cosmos will stay operating with the native coin of build environments for the present, while awaiting customer risk mitigation options.
