  By Moris Beracha .- Different companies that manufacture computer hardware and electronic components have launched campaigns to offer their users, a kind of “passive” mining that will allow them to make profits in cryptocurrencies with very little effort. The decision is basically due to the resounding fall in the prices of the main digital currencies, which have hit hard the assets of these companies. Given this reality, the Taiwanese company Asus, has decided to take action on the matter, specifying an alliance with Quantumcloud to develop a software that allows users of its gaming equipment, to mine cryptocurrencies while our GPU is at rest. To date the Asian technology giant has not offered details of how this tool will work and they have not explained which cryptocurrencies can be mined through it. Although the Quantumcloud website ensures that users of their application “will not get rich quickly,” they argue if they can get some money w...

By Moris Beracha .- A large number of companies that have significantly invested in the production of cryptocurrency mining hardware may be throwing in the towel, driven by the stagnation of the market. Some portals such as Amazon have had to sell mining machines, video cards, and power sources, among other equipment, at discounted prices to exhaust the existence of these equipment and of course avoid excess of inventory. In early 2018, these products were sold at profitable prices, but the sharp drop in prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies led to a major beating in prices for these products. In a press release, the Japanese consortium GMO Internet Inc., a competitive cryptocurrency mining hardware manufacturer in the market, announced its decision to cease operations in its cryptocurrency mining business. The company, specializing in Internet infrastructure, reported that the losses of its business related to cryptocurrency mining...

By William Suberg The research arm of Japanese technology giant Sony announced it had created a contactless cryptocurrency hardware wallet in a press release Tuesday, Oct. 23. The as yet unnamed device utilizes IC smart card technology popular in Japan to communicate with the Bitcoin (BTC) or other cryptocurrency network. The advantages, according to developers from Sony Computer Science Labs (SCSL), lie in dispensing with the need to attach the wallet to a host device via USB, as is the current standard for the industry. “In addition, it is possible to securely generate and store a private key with a highly reliable tamper-proof module within the IC card,” the release explains. Sony has joined many multinationals in experimenting with blockchain technology in recent years, releasing several solutions and applying for patents related to blockchain hardware. Beyond sending and receiving cryptocurrency, the latest hardware wallet offering is...

By  Moris Beracha .-  Since the arrival of Bitcoin, computers now have another function: to make small amounts of money with cryptocurrencies. However, mining is not as simple as turning on a computer. Your computer hardware is a key factor when mining and will make the difference between making money with cryptocurrency or even losing money. Computer Hoy  explains that to mine Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency your computer must be permanently solving algorithms that will limit the processing capacity of your hardware. The more efficient it is in solving those calculations, the greater the reward. In the case of bitcoins, one or several high-end graphic cards are required to increase mining capacity and computational processing of the computer. To know if the capacity of a hardware is profitable for bitcoin mining, the internet has calculators that will help any user. It is recommended to visit the NiceHash profitability calculator, one of the ...
