What is an EOS Block Producer? How to become one and Why?
Perhaps you’ve heard of an EOS Block Producer? What is it? What does it do? Why is there such a creature? (Yes, they DO exist!) For those of you who know about EOS, you might know that the EOS Blockchain uses the Delegated Proof-of-Stake Consensus (DPoS) algorithm for confirming transactions. That’s why EOS isn’t mineable. Instead, it uses a voting system to elect network delegates who are charged with the responsibility of keeping the network secure. These elected delegates are called EOS Block Producers, and, the network operation is dependent on them. Blocks will still be produced with cryptography that is unbreakable. However, the presence of entities that run nodes and provide the hardware introduces a partial-centralization of the network.

Cloud Mining vs Hardware Mining: Which Is Right for You?
These days, Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency used as an alternative to traditional payment systems. All Bitcoin transactions must be confirmed through a process called mining. This process is done by CPU-intensive software that solves complex hashing problems, which are unique to each transaction. Originally, Bitcoin mining was conducted on individual computers (hardware mining). Now, however, in order to have enough “hash power”, large data centers running many specialized computers are needed. There are two types of mining companies: 1) those that operate independently, and 2) those who actively recruit “investors” – Cloud Miners. All of these mining companies are in competition with each other to confirm all of the transactions and collect the associated fees. Those with the most hash power get bigger slices of the transaction fee pie. So, who will win this battle?
Is Cloud Mining Profitable in 2021?
Cloud Mining is a way to mine Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) without the need purchase/own specialized computer hardware. In a sense, you are renting space on someone else’s hardware, by buying shares of “hashpower”. And, you profit along with the owner of the hardware. This means that all you need is a Bitcoin wallet, and you are ready to contract someone who offers Cloud Mining Services. But, is it profitable? Well, the main advantage of this approach is that you don’t need in-depth knowledge of mining hardware, nor the expertise to operate/maintain the mining operation (the equipment is expensive, and sometimes hard to obtain). Also, cloud mining providers optimize everything, so that yields are higher.

How to Make Money With Bitcoin? 13 Proven Methods
Introduced in 2009, Bitcoin is an electronic currency that is exchanged through its own payment network. Bitcoins are stored in virtual wallets, and has been dubbed a “cryptocurrency”. It is a decentralized, peer-to-peer currency which relies on cryptography to facilitate currency generation and transactions. Specialized computers, referred to as “miners”, run what is called a proof-of-work system to confirm transactions. They receive small amounts of Bitcoin as transaction fees. But how does someone make money with Bitcoin?
