BTQ’s Bitcoin Quantum Testnet and “Old BTC” Risk, Explained

boss

Key takeaways Bitcoin’s quantum risk centers on exposed public keys and signature security. BTQ’s testnet explores post-quantum signatures in a Bitcoin-like environment.

How Bitcoin Mining Waste Heat Is Being Used to Warm Canadian Greenhouses

boss

Key takeaways Bitcoin mining produces large amounts of heat that are typically treated as waste. In cold regions, this thermal output is now being tested as a useful resource. A pilot project in Manitoba is integrating Bitcoin mining with greenhouse farming, reusing server heat as a supplemental source of agricultural heating. Liquid-cooled mining systems are generally associated with higher and more stable heat capture, making recovered thermal energy suitable for industrial heating applications. Reusing mining heat may lower operating costs for both miners and greenhouse operators by improving energy efficiency…

It handed control of cross-chain liquidity to a handful of intermediaries, who it called “bridges,” wrapped assets in slick tickers, and pretended that was decentralization. Every time one of these house-of-cards systems collapses, billions vanish, and the rest of the industry shrugs, as if these were isolated accidents instead of warning sirens blaring across the ecosystem. Multichain’s collapse was a mess. The Ronin hack…
