A friendly reminder : Do not use "Electron Cash" to claim/spend your "Bitcoin Cash"

Yesterday, I got a few twitter notifications where electrum warned about using of "Electron Cash". What is "Electron Cash" ? It's a lightweight HD wallet for "Bitcoin Cash", very likely to "electrum". There is a potential risk of losing your original Bitcoins if you are currently using electrum and if you install both "electrum" and "electron cash" on the same PC. Because, it copies all your "electrum wallet files" into its own directory. And it's too dangerous to use your original "electrum seed" into "electron cash" to import your existing BTC wallets. In addition its binary files are signed with a pseudonym  "Jonald Fyookball".  I'm astonished that why the creator or developer group want to hide their real identities and wanna keep them as anonymous. If a huge amounts of BTC are stolen via "electron cash" then there will be no chance to trace them. Although,

What are bitcoin miners really solving? (collected from web)

What are bitcoin miners really solving? Here is an  extremely  simplified sketch of the problem, but it should give a pretty good idea of what the problem is.  The data:  This is the hash of the lastest block (shortened to 30 characters):   00000000000001adf44c7d69767585 These are the hashes of a few valid transactions waiting for inclusion (shortened).  5572eca4dd4 db7d0c0b845 And this the hash of one special transaction that you just crafted, which gives 25BTC (the current reward) to yourself:  916d849af76 Building the next block:  Now, let's use a gross approximation of what a new block might look  like (the real one uses binary format). It contains the hash of the  previous block and the hashes of those 3 transactions:  00000000000001adf44c7d69767585--5572eca4dd4-db7d0c0b845-916d849af76-- Now let's do mining by hand! Our goal is to complete this block with a  nonce (a piece of garbage) such that the hash of the new block starts  with 13 zeros (consid

HOW GOOGLE'S NEW A.I. MICROCHIPS TAKE A PAGE FROM BITCOIN MINERS

Yesterday at  Google’s I/O developers conference , CEO Sundar Pichai briefly spoke about a custom-built chip that helps give Google its edge in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The chip, dubbed a TPU or Tensor Processing Unit (in keeping with  Google's A.I. platform TensorFlow ), is specifically wrought for running Google’s decision-making algorithms.  Most companies like Facebook and Microsoft use GPUs  for their machine learning and artificial intelligence.But Pichai’s speech and the  accompanying blog post  only reveal a few details about TPUs.
