SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 (2016) & A7 (2016). My Thoughts.

-
          Everyone expected Samsung to pull a rabbit out of the hat with its new releases, the Galaxy A5 (2016) & A7 (2016), but Samsung has yet again "pulled-an-iPhone", if you will, with the pricing of their new phones. I agree the phones look beautiful with their Galaxy S6 ish glass finished glossy front and back, aperture f/1.9 on both front and rear cameras, a fancy fingerprint sensor and all such bells and whistles even small time companies are mastering lately, a Chinese giant by the name of "Coolpad" is all set to release their phone (+Coolpad  note 3 lite) with a fingerprint sensor to a throw-away MRP of 7,000 INR on +Amazon.com

          Samsung has outdone itself by pricing these phones (A5 2016: 29,999 INR & A7 2016 33,400 INR) way above everyone's fathom. Websites like phonecurry.com who had estimated a price value of 20,000 INR for the A5 (2016) when it launches ought to be scratching their heads searching for 10,000 Rupees more value after the actual launch

          It is a given that the price difference has broken a few hearts but if my predictions are right, these new phones will only show mediocre sales on the charts, as their last year's flagship, the mighty Galaxy S6, sells at about 34,000 INR. Who in their conscious mind will splurge on the A5 & A7 2016, which flaunt the ever-so-scandalous chipset, the +Snapdragon 615, when they can get their hands on the flagship Snapdragon 810 chipset for almost the same price?

          I admit, I am one them people who is disappointed with the pricing of the phones and trust me, when you consider the price, it's not even worth looking at the rest of the tech specs. Just for everyone's info, I'll throw in the details of some of the phones that run on the Snapdragon 615 processor. +Samsung Mobile , #NotAgain

1. +ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser - 12,999 INR
2. +Sony Xperia M4 Aqua - 17,499 INR
3. +Lenovo Vibe P1 - 15,999 INR
4. +HTC Desire 826 - 18,500 INR
5. +YU YUREKA Plus - 8,999 INR

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
