Approximate Hardware" would make Bitcoin mining easier. A new machine for Bitcoin Mining called "" would make Bitcoin mining easier.





Bitcoin had gained tremendous popularity over a few couple of years among the virtual currencies due to its decentralized principle.





Mining a single Bitcoin is not an ice cake walk, as it requires an enormous amount of computing power to dig Bitcoins.





To overcome this issue and mine Bitcoins faster, security researchers has conducted a study and made a new loophole in the mining process in an effort to mine the Bitcoins easily.

How to Mine Bitcoins Faster?





Rakesh Kumar, has designed a new hardware named " A team of Illinois-based researchers led by Indian Scientist,has designed a new hardware named " Approximate " that could reduce the pain of Bitcoin mining by 30 percent.





The proposed system would make use of the faults in the hardware system such as:

False Positives where an error is not present but notifies a fake error.

where an error is not present but notifies a fake error. False Negatives where an error is present but does not notify the real error.

Therefore, by taking the advantages of imperfections in the system, the process of Bitcoin mining could get easier than the classical methods used today.





Approximate Bitcoin Mining





Approximation system is one such hardware that scans for the errors to make the mining somehow, simple.

"Bitcoin mining is a particularly good candidate for approximation because its parallelism mitigates error propagation and a built-in verification system detects any false positives," reads the paper. "Furthermore, we have identified adders as beneficial choices for approximation in hashing cores in a mining ASIC."

's goal is not building a perfect Bitcoin mining hardware, but their research work would inculcate to design much better mining hardware in the near future.
