By now, it you have any interest in the cryptocurrency, you have probably heard about the airdrops. And maybe you have participated in one of them. But, for those of you who still doesn’t know what crypto airdrops are, the answer is simple. Airdrops are free tokens. Simple as that. Wait, no way, there is no free lunch, it must be some catch! Why would they give away tokens for free? Well they aren’t giving them for free exactly. Blockchain projects expects some actions from the users in order to drop them free tokens. Those actions are usually to join Telegram groups, follow or retweet on Twitter or like Facebook page. That’s are one time actions and you will get free tokens. Bounties are similar, but they are a bit different and harder. Users have to do some promotional actions on forums or social networks during some period of time. Each action is reported and you will get your tokens depending of how many actions you have done. Now you can see that airdrops and bounties are in fact

Giga Watt , one of North America’s largest cryptocurrency miners, is breaking new ground to add more data centers to its existing installation, part of a bigger strategy to reposition the company to better function within new economic realities of a slowing crypto-economy. The new construction, a 5 MW site hosting three pods, will be marketed as a Giga Watt mining solution for larger B2B customers, rather than focusing on new entrants into the industry, as was the previous strategy. Giga Pods, as they are called, are also catered toward customers looking for transaction-based high-performance computer services like rendering or remote medicine. The new site also marks a meaningful expansion of Giga Watt’s relationship with the local power utility, as it adds power lines originating in Washington state’s Grant County to company’s original utility contract in Douglas County. Giga Watt’s evolution hasn’t been without its share of controversy. Earlier this quarter its token took quite a

Bitcoin came and took the chunk of everything. From having the highest market capitalization to now being the most widely known cryptocurrency. Bitcoin continues to reap the perks of being the first in the industry. It is obvious then that crypto accessories such as wallets would tend to be synonymous with Bitcoin. There are hundreds of easily available bitcoin wallets, not so much for altcoins. It gets a little more difficult when it comes to relatively new entrant concepts such as Proof of Stake. Proof of Stake borrows from Bitcoin’s Proof of Work. Similar to PoW, PoS is a consensus algorithm that verifies cryptocurrency transactions for altcoins in the same way that miners verify Bitcoin transactions on its blockchain. It not only is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative, it also enables coin owners to store and earn interest from their assets stored in a POS Wallet .

Blockchain and cryptocurrency, once unknown quantities, are really starting to hit their stride. There are many digital cryptocurrency wallets on the market and talk of crypto and blockchain solutions are not just linked to the tech fringe, but are now ubiquitous in the mainstream. Having gained currency, so to speak, in the wider community, the obvious question arises; how can we improve the speed of transactions to suit the needs of users? The New Blockchain Saviour There is more than one answer to this complex question. First, public blockchains experience slow transaction speeds and confirmations, and don’t provide users with confidentiality or privacy.
