Today, online payments giant PayPal said will allow its customers to buy, sell and hold bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), bitcoin cash (BCH) and litecoin (LTC) using the US digital payments company’s online wallets over the coming weeks.

The company plans to expand to Venmo and some countries in the first half of 2021.

PayPal customers will also be able to use cryptocurrencies to shop at the 26 million merchants on its network starting in early 2021.

"The shift to digital forms of currencies is inevitable, bringing with it clear advantages in terms of financial inclusion and access; efficiency, speed and resilience of the payments system; and the ability for governments to disburse funds to citizens quickly," said Dan Schulman, President and CEO of PayPal.

By 2025, bitcoin (BTC) still could add another zero to its price, according to Bloomberg Intelligence, while they also claim that it's possible for the price to get closer USD 14,000 again already this year.

In their latest Crypto Outlook, Bloomberg Intelligence's senior commodity strategist, Mike McGlone, wrote that "bitcoin has a history of adding zeroes." Bitcoin's price could continue appreciating on the back of increasing adoption, as it has done so far, but this would happen at a slower pace.

Still, by 2025, we could see bitcoin reach those previously predicted highs. The report explained that,

"The first-born crypto has had a tendency to add zeros to its price from around [USD] 10 in 2011. It took about four years to go from [USD] 1,000 to [USD] 10,000 in 2017, so doubling that time frame for maturation could get the price toward [USD] 100,000 in about five more years."

Failure is also an option, added the report, and it can't be known what specific catalyst might prompt bitcoin to jump to the said new highs, however, demand vs. supply metrics remain price-positive. "Most demand and adoption measures indicate bitcoin is more likely to stay on its upward path," McGlone said.

Monitoring the statistics can greatly improve the efficiency of your farm. But how exactly can you track it? How to do this?

It’s simple — hashrate, temperature, energy consumption, efficiency and stability can tell a lot about your potential problems. However, if you have hundreds or even thousands of GPU rigs or ASICs, analyzing all of this data can be challenging.

Thanks to this Statistic feature, you are able to do the following:

• Figure out which devices generate income;
• Understand which workers consume too much energy;
• Monitor the workers’ problems (for instance, too frequent overheating) and find out how to solve them;
• Detect devices with too low hashrate;
• Fully understand the situation on the farm (or farms), even if you have a lot of devices.

Statistics on account
On the screenshots below you can see the examples of the Hive OS statistics. In the context of a farm, you can assess the overall situation and energy consumption:


Statistics on the account also include hashrate by algorithms, so you can identify how effective specific algorithms are (and then increase your profits by choosing those of them that bring the most income).


In addition to farm statistics, it also provides the following data on workers:

• Temperature;
• Hashrate by algorithm (or algorithms);
• Energy consumption;
• Fan speed.

As you can see, on this screen the level of electricity consumption remains almost unchanged. This means that the devices work stably and do not consume too much power. The temperature is also within normal limits. But regarding the hashrate by algorithms, not all the workers are equally effective.

Take a look at one more example with Hiveon ASIC S9:


OS provides statistics on your workers so that you can always find and solve any problems related to the operation and efficiency of your equipment in time.

Public statistics

Coins
Now the first place among coins is taken by ETH — 61% of users mine it. The second most popular coin is Nicehash-Ethash (8%), and the third one is ETC (7%). Please note that ETH is the most profitable coin, which explains its high rating.


Algorithms (GPUs)
According to the Hive OS statistics, ethash leads by a large margin — 77%. In second place is sha256, 6%. The third most popular algorithm is kawpow (4%).


GPU brands
Both AMD and Nvidia cards are popular. Most miners (57%) prefer AMD. Nvidia takes second place with 43%.


AMD models
The first place is taken by Radeon RX 580 8GB — 22%. The second one — by Radeon RX 570 4GB (21%). In third place is Radeon RX 470 4GB (14%), and in fourth and fifth — Radeon RX 580 4GB and Radeon RX 570 8GB, 12% each.


Previously, this rating included the RX 550 / 560 cards with 2GB of memory, but now these cards are practically not in demand due to their non-universality.

Nvidia models
The first place is occupied by P106–100 6GB (23%), the second one — by GeForce GTX 1070 8GB (13%), and the third one — by GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (11%). The fourth and the fifth places are taken by GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB and GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 11% and 7% respectively.


With a good value for money ratio, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB was once Nvidia’s leading card, with a 25% rating. But now its popularity has fallen by more than three times. Why? Due to the lack of memory, these cards cannot mine the most profitable coins (ETH and ETC).

Analyzing modern algorithms and prospects, it can be assumed that cards with 4GB of memory are going to be the next to leave. This is relevant to both Nvidia and AMD cards and means that you should already focus on options with a larger memory capacity (8GB or more).

Miners (GPUs)
At the moment, the most popular miner is phoenixminer — 37% . The second place is taken by claymore (36%), and the third one — by asicminer (6%).


ASIC models
As for ASICs, the leader is Antminer S9. The second place is occupied by Antminer L3+. In third place is Antminer T17.

If you follow the bitcoin (BTC) price movement, it will seem connected to traditional assets - but it can't be, as it's the opposite of today's financial infrastructure, according to Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of venture capital firm Social Capital, Chairman of commercial spaceline Virgin Galactic, and a former Facebook executive.

"The more people obsess about price action and the more that they want it to behave like a stock or a bond the more frustrated they're going to get they're going to find ways of connecting dots that don't exist; it's just not what it is," said the investor in a recent interview with CNBC.

In that case, BTC might appear correlated to other assets, he said:

"But the reality is it's fundamentally not, because it is underpinned by a set of beliefs that are completely orthogonal to the orthodoxy that runs the world today, and it is completely the inverse of how the financial infrastructure of the world operates."

https://cryptonews.com/news/bitcoin-can-t-be-correlated-to-traditional-assets-virgin-gal-7930.htm

Bitcoin price is showing early signs of an upside break above the USD 10,800 resistance. BTC is currently (08:30 UTC) consolidating near USD 10,800 and it seems like the bulls are working on an upside break above the USD 10,950 and USD 11,000 resistance levels in the next 2-3 sessions.

Similarly, most major altcoins are trading near important levels, including ethereum, XRP, litecoin, bitcoin cash, EOS, XLM, LINK, BNB, TRX, and ADA. ETH/USD is slowly rising and approaching the USD 365 resistance level. XRP/USD managed to stay above USD 0.240 and it might revisit the main USD 0.245 resistance zone.

A mining farm is a group of workers combined together, and building it (and making it profitable!) requires knowledge of many nuances.

How to avoid fuse overload? How to ensure reliable network connection? We will tell you what aspects to pay attention to, and answer these and many other questions.

Crypto mining pool BTC.TOP, via its subsidiary B.TOP, now offers "joint mining" - enabling users to buy hash power, as well as pay the fees and share the profit once their revenue reaches the cost of the equipment they initially bought.

"We hope to lower the entry barrier for those who would like to mine but cannot purchase or operate the mining machines because of various limitations," Jiang Zhuoer, founder and CEO of BTC.TOP, was quoted as saying in a press release.

B.TOP provides a variety of services, including hardware procurement at cost price. The company will not charge a maintenance fee until the user has broken even, they claimed, with the mining revenue automatically being settled by the platform on a daily basis according to the BTC/USD exchange rate.

More specifically, the platform offers to purchase the latest generation mining machines at bulk order prices directly from the manufacturers, including Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan, and Innosilicon.

Possibly sparked by the rumor that the online money transfer company PayPal might get involved with cryptocurrencies, the bitcoin (BTC) price jumped more than 4% yesterday, before falling back slightly Tuesday morning.

The unconfirmed news that PayPal might enable direct buying and selling of crypto might have been the main driver for yesterday’s market rally, leading to green numbers across the board in both bitcoin and most altcoins.

The move in price was also noticed by the blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, which shared an alert today saying transaction volume on the bitcoin network has “increased significantly” over the past 24 hours.

Esports is virtual sport. For many young people, it has entirely replaced the typical football or basketball endeavours and instead they focus on developing a career in playing computer games. At first this might sound crazy, but esports is actually a viable industry with lots of chances to get famous and actually earn a living. So what is esports?

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, esports is “the activity of playing computer games against other people on the internet, often for money, and often watched by other people using the internet, sometimes at special organized events”. This of course only scratches the surface of the matter. Esports is a competition that brings people from all over the world and from all walks of life together. Tournaments are (mostly) gender-neutral and offer far more opportunities for people with disabilities to compete alongside able people.

Hello. Considering everything that is happening, our management thought about how to connect the available resources to the fight against the pandemic.
As a result, we rested on the disinfection gateway. Similar devices are already used in China, Mexico, Kazakhstan and Turkey. Here's what it looks like.
My task was to think through and visualize a prefabricated construct, with a temperature meter and a fogging system, in the shortest possible time.
