Predicting Block Halving Party Times
نویسنده
چکیده
Bitcoin ([5]) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency. The rate at which bitcoins enter circulation is cut in half every 4 years, approximately. These events are considered landmarks in Bitcoin’s history, and as such are widely celebrated. However, this requires placing confidence intervals on the precise timing of the halving well in advance, and the particular mechanism by which the halving time is determined makes this challenging. In this paper, we intend to help party planners by describing the problem, and highlighting several techniques to estimate the mean and variance of the halving.

CRUSH: A New Cryptographic Hash Function using Iterated Halving Technique
Most of the currently accepted designs for cryptographic hash functions are in the style of a block cipher in feed-forward mode. With increasing interest in all forms of cryptanalysis, this limited choice might become a single point of failure in computer security, and so we seek alternative paradigms. In this paper an entirely new approach, based on iterated halving (IH), is proposed for the d...

متن کاملGenome Halving with Double Cut and Join
The genome halving problem, previously solved by El-Mabrouk for inversions and reciprocal translocations, is here solved in a more general context allowing transpositions and block interchange as well, for genomes including multiple linear and circular chromosomes. We apply this to several datasets and compare the results to the previous algorithm.
