Bitcoin News

Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, originally described in a 2008 paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Launched in January 2009, it was the world’s first cryptocurrency, and remains the most popular, with the highest market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was built on several key innovations. Firstly, Nakamoto guaranteed that Bitcoin transactions were immutable, by recording all transactions on a distributed ledger known as a blockchain. Secondly, he ensured Bitcoin’s scarcity by capping the total number of Bitcoin in existence at 21 million. Finally, the community was incentivized to verify transactions by receiving rewards in the form of “mined” Bitcoin for checking the accuracy of the blockchain.

    Bitcoin transactions could be made resistant to future quantum attacks without changing the network’s core protocol, according to a proposal from StarkWare researcher Avihu Mordechai Levy. In a recent paper, Levy describes a “Quantum-Safe Bitcoin” transaction scheme designed to remain secure even if quantum computers break the elliptic-curve cryptography used today. The method works within Bitcoin’s existing scripting rules and would not require a soft fork or other network upgrade. “We present...

    Traders have flipped optimistic on an even bigger near-term surge for privacy-focused token Zcash (ZEC) after a nearly 62% boost in the last week of trading. ZEC is changing hands around $379.89 on Friday, up 15% in the last 24 hours, 62% in the last week, and now more than 77% in the last month.  That move has shifted odds of the token jumping to $420 in April—a further 10% move up—to 60% on Myriad, a prediction market operated by Decrypt’s parent company, Dastan.

The block win came just a week after the last reported solo score, showing that individual miners can still succeed despite very long odds. The miner had roughly 0.001% odds of achieving the feat based on their mining hash power of 70TH, the amount of computational power they deployed attempting to solve a Bitcoin block.
