A higher hashrate signifies a stronger and more secure blockchain network. Increased computational power dedicated to mining operations acts as a defense mechanism, making it more challenging for malicious entities to disrupt network operations. It serves as a barrier against potential attacks, particularly the significant concern of a 51% ...

Bitcoin Gold hard forked from the bitcoin blockchain on October 24, 2017. [3] The stated purpose of the hard fork was to change the proof of work algorithm so that ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) which are used to mine bitcoin cannot be used to mine the Bitcoin Gold blockchain in the hopes that enabling mining on commonly available graphics cards would allow mining from a home PC.
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain with smart contract functionality. Ether (abbreviation: ETH [a]) is the native cryptocurrency of the platform. Among cryptocurrencies, ether is second only to bitcoin in market capitalization.
