NEXUS 6P FOR THE COMMON MAN

-
Let me start by saying that google played smart by making the 5X in LCD and the 6P in AMOLED. If the Nexus 5X made by LG had an AMOLED screen it would have clearly taken the throne for being a better phone ergonomically. But there is one more major factor that differentiates the 5X from the 6P that is the SOC. Unless one has used the 6P they can just not tell the difference in performance between the two devices. The 808 chipset on the 5X is plenty fast if one knows how to maintain a smartphone. Having said that, there is noticeable difference in the battery life of the two phones, the 6P clearly beats its little unidentical twin here.

The 6P has a good battery in it which lasts a day for a heavy user, it comes with a great camera which google boasts of, having a 1.55 micron pixel sensor which makes sense on paper a lot more than a 21mp odd camera, the camera performs really well in low light conditions as well (when held steadily). It has a negligible bump that houses the camera, more so the bigger sensor the company is experimenting with (I am all for bigger sensors). I really wish every smartphone manufacturer incorporates Laser autofocus technology in their phones because it just so much faster and better performing.

 The front facing camera is second to none in taking selfies, it's right up the alley with the iPhones and the S6's. The AMOLED screen compliments the camera capabilities and with the new DOSE mode on the marshmallow is icing on the cake which means the LED's are just turned off when there is anything black to display.

At the end of the day, if you are planning to buy the 5X, don't. I suggest you take a months time, raised your budget and go for the 6P, after all, the nexus phones are popular for being future proof so you won't be wasting any money. Unless you have tiny hands, trust me 'you will drop it'. The phone is Huge.

PROS: fast, snappy, great gaming experience, great camera, good battery, quick OTA updates.
CONS: pretty big, bland design, no wireless charging.

Happy Nexus to you :)

Understanding Mining Difficulty & the Difficulty Increase in Mining Bitcoin

-
Image
In a nutshell, mining difficulty is a random number that determines how hard the cryptographers or computers must work to create a new block. Now let’s break this down. As the number of aspiring miners, cryptographers, and computers increases, the difficulty of mining new blocks decreases, ergo it is necessary to increase this difficulty so that these entities take longer to mine each block. Adjusted every 2016th block, the difficulty is increased or decreased to ensure fairness in mining between man & machine, and to mitigate fraudulent mining of blocks. Mining 2016 blocks must take around 2 weeks on an average and if more blocks are created in this time period, the system automatically increases the difficulty, and if fewer blocks are created in the 2 weeks, the difficulty is decreased. The latter doesn’t occur as often, as more people and powerful computers are introduced to mine new blocks eventually. Another nuance that determines mining difficulty is the time taken to mine a

Similarly, blockchain oracles play a vital role in relaying real-time data from the real world to the blockchain realm.  In this article, we’ll introduce you to the fundamentals of blockchain oracles, why they matter, and other crucial information.
