Dash (DASH) Blockchain’s Blocks Exceeding 890 Kb Are Not Profitable for DASH Mining

Researchers at the University of Arizona published a study called Block Propagation applied to the Nakamoto network. The authors of that research recommend a maximum increase in block size to 5 MB, with a capacity to use of 890 kB per block, to keep transaction commissions at 0.01 DASH per MB and to make mining profitable under the current Dash (DASH) blockchain. The study used a simulator initially intended for Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE).

This simulator was modified to assume larger blocks and be able to analyze the scalability of the Dash (DASH) network. Additionally, it was established that the systems should have a minimum of 6,000 nodes in each simulation. The study lasted long enough for a minimum of 700 blocks to be executed, the researchers said.

For the study, the authors assumed that miners extract blocks of similar sizes. The research effort focused on three block propagation protocols, namely, a traditional block propagation in which the block is fully transmitted, one in which a compact block propagation called Cor16 is made, and an extra thin block propagation called “xthin.”

Blocks with a used capacity of more than 890 kB would not be profitable for Dash (DASH) mining

“With traditional block propagation, we recommend that the code limit on block size should not be greater than 5 MB and that you should not expect a capacity throughput much greater than 890 kB per block. It should be noted that users who include a higher rate can make blocks over 890 kB profitable for mining,” said Dragan Boscovic, Nakul Chawla, and Darren Tapp, researchers at the Blockchain Laboratory at the University of Arizona.

To reach this conclusion, the researchers assumed that all transactions would be 0.01 Dash (DASH) per MB with a mining reward of 1.67 DASH.

Among other conclusions of the study, the researchers state that the maximum block sizes of Dash (DAS) could reach 6 MB and even 8 MB using the compact block propagation method. With the “xthin” block propagation method, blocks could reach a size of up to 10 MB. The authors suggest that the network could go beyond 10 MB.

The Most Realistic IoT Predictions for 2019

IoT is one of the fastest growing technologies nowadays. We can find it almost everywhere: in vehicles, gadgets, wearable and more. Tech fans love it because IoT helps them turn their houses, working places or favorite devices into futuristic elements. For this reason, analysts have some optimist predictions when it comes to the evolution of Internet of Things in 2019.

  1. Increased popularity across the board

According to recent IT Pro statistics, around 3.6 billion devices use the Internet connections for daily tasks. As you can imagine, this figure means more data traffic and increased connection fail possibilities.

This situation is about to change, since 2019 will be the year when 5G connectivity will become more popular and used for gadgets which are powered by IoT technology. This means better speed and more connected devices working at the same time.

  1. The Healthcare and Manufacturing industries will depend on IoT more

The discovery of new possible uses for IoT turns the technology into a key for digital revolution in various fields, including the manufacturing and healthcare industries. Predictions claim that in 2019, 87% of organizations active in the healthcare field will have adapted their techniques and used IoT in their daily activities.

  1. Better security at endpoints and increased protection against hacks
  2. By 2019, IoT will contribute to the creation of ”Smart Cities” all over the world
  3. IoT will be used for the development of more ”smart cars”

With all this considered, even the most sceptical people begin to understand the utility of IoT in our lives and daily activities. In 2019, as soon as the 5G connectivity boosts, gadgets and equipment connected through IoT technology will become as popular as smartphones. Predictions are optimistic, so all you have to do is look for more information and turn your living or working place into a ”smart environment”.

Internet of Things Could Improve the Urban Life Quality in Smart Cities

Technology has evolved a lot and now, we cannot imagine our lives without the Internet. Tech geeks have put a lot of effort into developing new ways of connecting different devices. Their work gives us the possibility to control several gadgets and equipment from our house by performing one or two operations. Isn’t this amazing?

All this progress led to the development of the so-called Smart Cities. As you can imagine, the notion defines ”intelligent towns” which are powered and controlled mostly by modern technologies. According to the concept developers, all cities in the world should become ”smart” for improving their inhabitants’ living conditions, manage resources in a more efficient way and create a sustainable environment.

Internet of Things (IoT) can improve the quality of life in the city

  1. It eases traffic congestions

If crowded cities had intelligent traffic systems powered by IoT, people would gain over 60 hours/year. Now, they spend all this time stuck in traffic or looking for parking places;

  1. Better air quality

Modern technologies can help authorities analyze the air quality and take immediate actions when it can have a negative impact on the inhabitants’ health. The devices used for this might seem expensive, but the investment is totally worth it. They can discover and control many damaging factors, among which carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide.

  1. IoT can contribute to optimizing traffic flow;
  2. It makes the access to Government services a lot easier;
  3. It improves the quality of life for elderly people;
  4. It improves the quality of healthcare services.

IoT provides local authorities all the help they can get for improving their administration. Things are constantly improving in this area, but there are a lot of experts who could explain the IoT benefits. Further research will contribute to turning more and more towns into ”smart cities”.
