Whois & Analysis for cryptonewsz.com

A blockchain, originally block chain, is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography.

Blockchains which are readable by the public are widely used by cryptocurrencies.

Private blockchains have been proposed for business use.

Some marketing of blockchains has been called "snake oil.".

A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets.

Cryptocurrency is a kind of digital currency, virtual currency or alternative currency.

Cryptocurrencies use decentralized control as opposed to centralized electronic money and central banking systems.

The decentralized control of each cryptocurrency works through distributed ledger technology, typically a blockchain, that serves as a public financial transaction database.

A coin is a small, flat, (usually) round piece of metal or plastic used primarily as a medium of exchange or legal tender.

They are standardized in weight, and produced in large quantities at a mint in order to facilitate trade.

They are most often issued by a government.

In an asymmetric multiprocessing system (AMP), not all CPUs are treated equally; for example, a system might allow (either at the hardware or operating system level) only one CPU to execute operating system code or might allow only one CPU to perform I/O operations.

Other AMP systems would allow any CPU to execute operating system code and perform I/O operations, so that they were symmetric with regard to processor roles, but attached some or all peripherals to particular CPUs, so that they were asymmetric with respect to the peripheral attachment.

Asymmetric multiprocessing was the only method for handling multiple CPUs before symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) was available.

It has also been used to provide less expensive options on systems where SMP was available.

Additionally, AMP is used in applications that are dedicated, such as embedded systems, when individual processors can be dedicated to specific tasks at design time.
