Џек Дорси: Блок ќе продава машини за рударство на биткоин со отворен код

In January, former Twitter CEO Џек Дорси, who had left the leadership of the social network to devote himself body and soul to his new blockchain company Block (formerly Square), announced that the company was working on a new project involving open source ASICs for Bitcoin mining.

We’re officially building an open bitcoin mining system ✨ https://t.co/PaNc7gXS48

Open source Bitcoin mining from Jack Dorsey’s Block company

Now everything would be ready to sell the first machines to mine Bitcoin in a completely decentralized manner.

An ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) is a microchip custom-designed for a particular use.

Во овој случај, Блокирање на aims to build an ASIC specifically for Bitcoin mining.

Томас Темплтон, Block’s hardware director, wrote in January: 

„Сакаме да го направиме рударството подистрибуирано и поефикасно на секој начин, од купување, до поставување, до одржување, до рударство. Ние сме заинтересирани затоа што рударството оди подалеку од создавање на нов биткоин. Ние го гледаме како долгорочна потреба за иднина која е целосно децентрализирана и без дозвола“.

Mission and vision of the Block company

Block’s new Рударство на биткоин system aims to improve three aspects of mining: availability, reliability and performance. 

The goal is to make mining rigs easier to find and buy, while ensuring a consistent delivery experience. 

In a tweet on 15 October, when he first launched the idea, Dorsey had written that:

“Mining needs to be more distributed. The more decentralized this is, the more resilient the Bitcoin network becomes”.

5/Mining isn’t accessible to everyone. Bitcoin mining should be as easy as plugging a rig into a power source. There isn’t enough incentive today for individuals to overcome the complexity of running a miner for themselves. What are the biggest barriers for people running miners?

According to these rumours, the company is now almost ready to launch the first new machines. However, this news has yet to be confirmed.

Block’s project from the outset seemed to take much longer. It is more likely that this is an initial test that will provide confirmation of the soundness of the research and development process carried out by Block in recent months.
