    ♞ lichess.org: the forever free, adless and open source chess server ♞

  • RandomX

    Proof of work algorithm based on random code execution

    • This is not true for all crypto coins. A small proportion of mining hash functions are deliberately designed to thwart ASICs, e.g. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. It's a cat-and-mouse game, though: CryptoNight was designed to fulfill the same role, but ultimately failed: https://monerodocs.org/proof-of-work/cryptonight/.

  • coronavirus

    Folding@home COVID-19 efforts

    • My personal recommendation would be Folding@Home[1]. Protein folding is an insanely complex thing life does and they use distributed computing to try to solve the large problems.
