So as I write this blog posting, it’s the Sunday evening before Christmas, 2020 and Bitcoin is at a new all-time high. The price has been bouncing around $23,000 – $24,000 for the last couple of days and the expectation that we haven’t seen anything yet is shared by many Bitcoiners. If you are reading […]

Swap Emission
Due to the explosion in awareness of the cryptocurrency project I am involved in that is called Swap, I am uploading an excel document that lists our coin emission per day. This is an easy way to see how our non-linear emission curves work and why the sooner you get involved with the project, the […]
How to run your own Swap node
There are various reasons for running your own node for Swap, or for any other crypto project you are interested in for that matter. Those reasons range from supporting the network and increasing decentralization to protecting yourself from some forms of attack vectors designed to steal your assets. I can be up front and honest […]
Swap Micropool – Your definitive guide to soloing blocks like a pro!
First, what is Swap and why would you want to run a micropool? Swap is a hybrid Cryptonote coin that uses the Cuckaroo algorithm, specifically C29S, for it’s proof of work. (Disclaimer, I am one of the founders of this coin so yes there will be bias speak in this article!) Swap is a relatively […]
Indium and Dimastech Water Blocks for the BCU1525 FPGA
So before I delve into the topic at hand, it’s been a while since I’ve really put any content up. The reasons are many along with the excuses, but hey it was just a new year a few months back right? Let’s try round two! 😀 One of my last posts was about some upcoming […]
Quiet before the storm
I’ve been super busy as of late and haven’t been able to push out updates like I had intended in the beginning. The last several months have seen my knowledge grow by leaps and bounds but I still feel like I haven’t even hit my teens yet for a measure of comparison. I am now […]
They say L3 cache is king… Is it?
Cache cache cache, turns into cash cash cash… At least that’s the general theory and in most instances, it seems to be right. For cryptonight coins, 2MB of fast memory is needed per thread. Depending on the CPU architecture, this could be L2, L3 or even L4 cache. In my short journey into the world […]
It’s getting hot in here, so hot, so take off all your clothes…
Sike… I would never force you to stare at the nakedness that is me. I wouldn’t want an audience that is heaving their cookies all over the place. 🙂 That’ being said, the high today is set to hit 82F here in sunny north Texas. My workers were crying with the song of their fans […]
Fwast and Fwurious
That about describes operating a ditch witch. Watch the video to see! As an aside, no matter how slow forward you move with that machine, it’s infinitely faster than doing it by hand. 😀
