Tenth CryptoSuper 500 Report: Bitcoin has increased its dominance of the $10 billion proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining industry, which relies on supercomputing levels of computational power. Dogecoin is a distant #2 as #1 Bitcoin has grown to 350 Exahashes/sec of computational power in the network.
North America now boasts close to half of Bitcoin's mining power and publicly traded mining companies amount to 18% of total production.
This our Twelfth semiannual report on the global Cryptocurrency mining industry.
Bitcoin is the world’s largest special purpose supercomputer. And it is globally decentralized. Millions of nodes all run the same open-source code to secure the Bitcoin network, create value, and put new transactions onto the distributed ledger.
The latest Top500 list has just been announced at the ISC 2024 conference in Hamburg, and once again the Frontier supercomputer with 1.2 Exaflops peak performance is number one on the list. If assigned to SHA-256 hashing, Frontier would provide only the equivalent hash rate of about three cabinets of the latest high-end Bitcoin mining systems, costing less than 0.1% of Frontier’s cost.
Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, has pointed out that GPUs are two orders of magnitude slower than the 5-nanometer technology of custom ASICs used for Bitcoin mining today. He makes the point that the Bitcoin network is unassailable by all of the hyperscale computing resources combined in AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure cloud data centers today.
Eighth Top CryptoSupercomputer mining pools, May 2022. 20 top mining pools across Bitcoin and Ethereum have a $19 billion revenue run rate. The center of crypto mining has moved to the US with 38% share, increasingly publicly traded mining companies.
The eleventh edition of OrionX's CryptoSuper500 list, marking its fifth anniversary. The list recognizes cryptocurrency mining as a form of supercomputing application, tracks the top mining companies and pools, and offers a snapshot of the cryptocurrency industry. The CryptoSuper500 was developed by Dr. Stephen Perrenod, OrionX Partner and noted crypto analyst who has also created a top-ranking Bitcoin evaluation model and elucidated the concept of the "blockchain calendar"
Our Ninth CryptoSuper500 list. As of this report the economic value of newly generated Bitcoin has dropped to $6.2 billion from $9.7 billion since OrionX’s prior report in June of this year. Ethereum mining was also generating $9.4 billion in value at that time, but that has collapsed to zero as of mid-September with the Merge and full conversion to proof of stake.
Since our first list, produced four years ago, global hash rate has increased by a factor of 5.2 in four years, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51%. Bitcoin’s value is up more modestly, with a CAGR around 25% since November 2018, but the price remains highly volatile; very recently volatility has been similar to that of the NASDAQ stock index.
This presentation and the full research report for the ninth CryptoSuper 500 list (available at orionx.net/research-reports) provide analysis of the technologies and trends surrounding proof of work cryptocurrencies. This is not, and must not be considered as, financial, investment, or legal advice. The author has investments in Bitcoin and several Bitcoin mining companies.
Bitcoin - shady underworld or bright future, September 2018Luno
This document discusses blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. It begins with an introduction and agenda, then discusses whether we are in a bubble, the actual costs of cryptocurrencies in terms of electricity usage and mining, and security issues like the 51% attack. It also covers how companies are working to increase security and compares the volatility of Bitcoin to other assets. Throughout, it emphasizes the potential of blockchain technology but also acknowledges challenges around scalability, regulation, and other issues that remain to be solved.
This document discusses several topics related to blockchain technology and efficiency gains:
1. Blockchain is a tool that has pros and cons, and does not solve all problems by itself, but can deliver results when properly used.
2. Traditional payment methods like credit cards have high costs, slow transaction speeds, and downtime for processing, while blockchain-based systems offer lower costs, faster transactions, and no downtime.
3. Innovations that improve efficiency, like the assembly line model, can significantly increase productivity and reduce costs of production. Blockchain has the potential to lead to similar gains across various industries.
The document contains data on cryptocurrency transaction volumes and prices from Q1 2016 to Q2 2017. It shows:
- Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other cryptocurrency daily transaction volumes and average transaction fees increased substantially over this period.
- The price and market capitalization of Bitcoin and Ethereum significantly increased, with Ethereum's market cap exceeding $35 billion in Q2 2017, up from $4.6 billion on April 1, 2017.
The document discusses blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. It notes that blockchain is a tool that is not a silver bullet and has pros and cons. Blockchain alone does not solve all problems and requires proper usage to deliver results. The document also discusses trends toward increased efficiency in transaction processing infrastructure from CPUs to ASICs, and how this has led to dramatically higher speeds and lower power consumption over time. Micro-payments and technologies like the Lightning Network are also discussed as enabling new payment paradigms by breaking traditional payment granularity barriers.
1) Blockchain is a tool that has pros and cons and does not solve all problems on its own. It requires proper usage to deliver results.
2) A recent UK national risk assessment concluded that traditional banks and legal financial services were most vulnerable to money laundering, while digital currencies posed the lowest risk due to greater transparency.
3) The document discusses increasing efficiency through technological advancement, citing examples like the transition from CPUs to more specialized chips that has led to higher productivity and lower power consumption for cryptocurrency mining.

An Investigator’s Guide to Blockchain, Bitcoin and Wallet TransactionsCase IQ
As Bitcoin and blockchains are coming into the mainstream, investigators, auditors and forensics and security professionals need to become familiar with how blockchain works and why it is so important to tomorrow’s digital security. It is important for anyone involved in forensics to understand the risk associated with Bitcoin, the most notable usage of blockchain and how applying forensics to those risks can have an impact.
Bitcoin has huge potential to revolutionize financial services, but with risk, as is implicit with any currency. We need to understand how forensic technology can reduce these risks or solve problems of financial loss should these risks materialize. Technology helps us follow flows of cryptocurrencies through wallets and the blockchain. This can be of particular use to regulators and police forces as well as investigators and auditors.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
