Arrow Glacier update on the Ethereum cryptocurrency POW network

ethereum arrow glacierAnother POW update of the Ethereum cryptocurrency chain called Arrow Glacier is scheduled for December 9, 2021. This hard fork will adopt only one change numbered EIP - 4345. This update postpones the so-called ice age or complexity bomb until June 2022. If anyone doesn't know, the complexity bomb is a gradual increase of time between blocks in POW network, which accordingly decreases the income of miners and increases the cost of gas for users of smart contracts. Also in the mentioned EIP-4345 it is said, that the merging of Ethereum POW and POS network should take place before June 2022 and the developers themselves put another deadline for themselves on this date. Which can once again be questioned, as this is not the first postponement of the complexity bomb. To be more precise, it is the 5th postponement of the deadline for the transition to the POS. The first postponement of the complexity bomb was back in the fall of 2017 in a hardfork called Metropolis: Byzantium. Whether or not Ethereum cryptocurrency's two different chains will merge this time to another complexity bomb is probably for everyone to decide for themselves and draw appropriate conclusions about mining this cryptocurrency, and crypto investing. But one thing is for sure - the transition of Ethereum to POS will be one of the most significant events in the cryptocurrency world.

New GDDR6 memory from Samsung will increase video card hashrate by 50%

gddr6 samsung memory hashrate on ethereumSamsung announced new GDDR6 video memory chips with increased data transfer rates of 20Gbps and 24Gbps at the end of 2021. The new chips are fully compatible with JEDEC specifications for GDDR6 standard. This will allow the release of improved versions of the current generations of video cards, which use 16Gbps GDDR6 memory, with minimal effort. I.e. just introduced memory from Samsung is exactly 50% more productive than current solutions. That is exactly what AMD did this summer, when a limited edition of Radeon RX 6900XT LC graphics cards with water cooling and 18.5Gbps GDDR6 memory hit the shelves instead of 16Gbps for the standard RX 6900XT model.

Mining on laptops with Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050 graphics cards

nvidia geforce rtx 3050 ti mobile mining hashrateAbout mining on laptops with mobile graphics cards Nvidia RTX 3060 RTX 3070, RTX 3080 is already known much if not all, because since January 2021, when laptops with these graphics cards went on sale, they are actively used in mining Ethereum cryptocurrency. Unlike the older versions of the graphics cards RTX 3050 Mobile and RTX 3050 ti Mobile miners bypassed because of the 4GB video buffer (not enough for mining Ethereum) and the later release May - June, when the price of the cryptocurrency has dropped in half from 60.000USD to 30.000 USD per Bitcoin. When you consider that laptops with RTX 3050ti are selling at a price of 1000USD, which corresponds to the current market price of a full graphics card Nvidia GTX 1660 Super, then buying such a laptop with the prospect of its use in mining cryptocurrencies looks not so stupid idea. Especially because the hash rate of RTX 3050 Ti and GTX 1660 Super on KawPow, Zhash and other mining algorithms is almost equal.

The Beacon Chain requires validators who need to keep 32ETH on their account, for maintaining the ETH network in working order, validators are paid a reward in ETH.

TONcoin cryptocurrency. Description, price, mining and perspectives

Ton coin cryptocurrency description and prospectsThe cryptocurrency TONcoin (The Open Network) was launched in the summer of 2021 and originally referred to the original TON (Telegram Open Network) of Nikolay and Pavel Durov, the founders of the popular messenger Telegram. But due to the fact that the Durov brothers abandoned this project back in 2020 because of their inability to coordinate the issue of their own cryptocurrency with the US government (more precisely with the SEC - Securities and Exchange Commission), the attitude towards the TONCoin released in 2021 was at the level of a SCAM project that exploits a well-known name. This all changed from one Message of Pavel Durov in his Telegram account, where he confirms that the new TON coin not only involves the developers of the original TON cryptocurrency from 2018, but also uses the developments of this project. In other words, now the TONcoin project has drastically changed its status from a cryptocurrency of the level of a SCAM project, to the level of an affiliated cryptocurrency supported by a well-known personality in the IT industry. In fact, on this news, the value of TONcoin in just a few hours soared by a decent 60% to 3.7 USD per coin.
