    ASIC mining profitability plummets following Monero's network upgrade

The upgrade, called RandomX, is meant to make mining on the network more “general-purpose CPU” friendly. The change was implemented via a network hard fork—a non-backwards compatible blockchain upgrade. The upgrade implemented a new proof-of-work mining algorithm that uses “random code execution together with several memory-hard techniques.” Its purpose is to minimize the efficiency ad...

    The Bitcoin “halvening” is coming in 2020; what does it mean?

    The “halvening” is coming: in mid-May 2020, the supply of Bitcoins issued as mining rewards will be cut in half, again. Will the halvening cause a boom in the price of Bitcoin?
