| Random Cryptocoin |
Blakecoin (BLC) is a decentralised, open-source cryptocurrency forked from Bitcoin in October 2013. It was the first cryptocoin project to employ BLAKE-256 (a candidate for the US National Institute of Standards and Technology hash function competition to become the new SHA-3 standard) as its hashing algorithm. BLAKE-256 is reportedly faster than the SHA-256 algorithm used by Bitcoin. It also employs a custom asymmetrical difficulty re-target algorithm. The reward for mining Blakecoin is set to 25 blakecoins plus inflation which is calculated as square root of (difficulty * block height). Original announcement.

BitKey is a FREE, Debian-based live Linux distribution designed for Bitcoin users; it comes with specialist utilities to perform highly secure air-gapped Bitcoin transactions. It contains a swiss army knife of handy Bitcoin tools that support a wide range of usage models, including a few very secure ones which would otherwise be difficult to perform. The system boots into one of the three available modes: "cold-offline" - for creating a wallet and signing transactions; "cold-online" - for watching the wallet and preparing transactions; "hot-online" - standard usage but less secure as the private keys are known to the computer which is connected to the internet.

The hashrate is the measuring unit of the processing power used to perform energy-intensive computations to maintain the Bitcoin network (or the network of any "mined" cryptocurrency). It is commonly expressed in gigahertz per second (GHz/s). As an example, a hashrate of 1 GHz/s means that the combined Bitcoin network of connected computers is capable of making one billion calculations per second. In the first quarter of 2015 the Bitcoin network's hash rate oscillated around the 350,000,000 GHz/s mark, thus performing 350 quadrillion calculations every second. In contrast, the hashrate of Litecoin, the second most popular cryptocurrency, stood at around 1,200 GHz/s - just 0.0003% of Bitcoin's hashrate.
