The world of Bitcoin mining, where digital gold is forged through computational power, faces a growing threat: patent trolls. In particular, Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs)—often called patent trolls—have made a fortune by acquiring patents. They concentrate on enforcing these patents against third-party businesses rather than developing the technology or commercializing it...
Ethereum is reaching a new milestone, recently hitting an all-time high in staked Ether (ETH), despite overall market turbulence. More than 500,000 ETH of additional supply were staked in June alone, with the total amount locked now at 35 million ETH. The increase in staking activity is remarkable. This, together...
Okay, let's be real. When you first hear about staking your ETH, a small voice in your head probably screams, “Trap! Don’t be intimidated — and don’t let that fear stop you from entering! You're thinking, "Am I going to lose my precious ETH? Is this some elaborate scheme?" I...
Malikie Innovations, patent trolls extraordinaire, are back at it again, this time setting their sights on Bitcoin. Core Scientific and Marathon Digital are their first targets. Honestly, let’s not kid ourselves – this attack was on all of us. Specifically, they’re accusing Bitcoin’s use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) of...
Is free crypto mining even possible? And if so, can SunnyMining actually follow through on their claims of financial freedom? Let's be real. We’ve all seen enough “get rich quick” schemes to know better. Every once in a while, just every once in a while, a disruptive idea comes along...
Okay, Ethereum's hitting new staking highs, again. A staggering 35 million ETH is already stashed away. Whales are each scooping up coins as soon as they’re vacuumed out. It already feels a bit like Party Central. A lot of discussion going on these days about a price boom, a moonshot...
The world of Bitcoin, built on the principles of decentralization and open-source innovation, now faces a significant threat: patent trolls. NPEs buy patents with the intent to sue. They have no plans to create or even develop real technology; rather, their business model lies in enforcing these patents against developers...
The Bitcoin mining landscape is already rife with volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and the conversation around energy use. Now, a new threat looms: patent trolls. Our Tower of Nerds Malikie Innovations’ lawsuits against Core Scientific and Marathon Digital are a wake-up call. This problem isn’t just limited to these two companies....
Even major Chinese manufacturers are starting to relocate production to the United States. This unexpected development is changing the calculus of Bitcoin mining. Currently, Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT produce more than 90% of the mining hardware supplied to the Bitcoin ecosystem. These same companies are now establishing battery manufacturing plants...
The Bitcoin mining environment is still undergoing a unique and vibrant transition. One thing is for certain, Chinese hardware manufacturers are quickly making their mark in the United States. This migration is due in part to the violent conditions. Assurances against trade tension and national security concerns and the strategic...
