Inspired by the TOP500 list, biannual list of the most powerful cryptocurrency mining pools tracks compute power and economic value
MENLO PARK, Calif. - illiNews -- OrionX Research today released the second edition of its CryptoSuper500 list. The list recognizes cryptocurrency mining as a new form of supercomputing and tracks the top mining pools. Cryptocurrency technologies include blockchains, consensus algorithms, digital wallets, and utility and security tokens. Aided by a recent surge in cryptocurrency prices, the top 10 mined coins have market caps above $0.5 billion dollars, and the #1 coin, Bitcoin, as of our snapshot taken on May 30, 2019, had a market cap of $154 billion.
Cryptocurrency Supercomputing refers to large-scale cryptocurrency mining operations which are typically powered by accelerator technologies such as GPUs, FPGAs, or custom ASICs. Bitcoin is the most notable of such currencies. Cryptocurrency mining via Proof of Work is important since it continues to represent the most effective consensus algorithm to maximize security in a decentralized manner.
"Driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G connectivity, a new wave of enterprise applications demands supercomputing power. Cryptocurrency mining is an important part of that mix, impacting investment decisions globally," said Dr. Stephen Perrenod, OrionX Partner and Analyst and the developer of the CryptoSuper500. "CryptoSuper500 tracks supercomputer class systems that are used for such mining applications."
