HPool Developed And Upgraded By Alex Yang Emerged As The Top POC Mining Pool Within Four Years

Published

3 years ago

on

Alex Yang, a Singapore-based entrepreneur, founded HPool, a POC mining pool which emerged as the top POC mining pool in just four years. Alex recently discussed how the POC mining pool is shaking up the blockchain industry at a press conference. He stated that after carefully comparing and studying the various verification methods of the consensus algorithm, he found that both the POW and POS are not working, and only POC can trigger the most primitive spirit of BTC. By making equity investment, Wanxiang blockchain labs helped Alex to create a near-monopoly project in the POC field – which he named HPool. The POC mining pool was later upgraded by Alex and his team.

The role of the mining pool is to allow miners to concentrate their computing power and share the computing power income so they can obtain a more stable income per unit of time. This has great significance to build consensus in a decentralized network. Large miners can calculate a stable return, and small miners need not worry about not being able to obtain income on time in the competition with large miners, thus forming a virtuous circle. In other words, the role of the mining pool is to disperse scattered computing power, integrate it so that small computing power can get smooth income. It can be considered as a task distribution and revenue smoothing system for block generation.

User orientation has always been the principle of the crypto company since it was founded. In addition to the basic mining pool services it provides to users, it also has a user service system which includes online status monitoring, offline push notifications, joint pledge mining, etc. These can lower the barriers for ordinary users to participate. The complete user service made HPool popular in the market since it was established.

For a long time, HPool has been in the top few POC mining pools. In 2017, legendary programmer Bram Cohen had retired from BitTorrent’s great success, planning his next big move: Decentralized hard disk mining blockchain project: Chia. Three years later, his Chia has a close intersection with Alex’s HPool. From 2018 to 2020, HPool has been in a tepid state. An investment from Fenbushi capital, a well-known name in the industry, has further consolidated HPool’s leading position in the POC sector. Even though the market doesn’t have much enthusiasm for POC at this time, Alex’s enthusiasm remains the same. This comes from his belief in POC consensus algorithms and the technical logic behind them.

In April 2021, the price of Bitcoin reached $63,000. The market cap surpassed Amazon, Tesla, and Facebook, only after Apple and Google among those giants of enterprise. The value of Chia, a project that Bram Cohen has run for three years, has increased as well. Through the investment and support of CoinBase. The world’s only listed digital asset exchange, Chia quickly started a whirlwind among miners. From mining pools to individual miners, they all actively participated in this hard disk mining experiment. The reason behind this is very simple as well. In the beginning, Chia’s cost could be covered by its return in one week. This star project of POC has naturally drawn attention of Alex. He began to promote Chia in HPool’s mining pool. Due to the years of accumulated technical experience and the leading position in this industry, HPool has been chosen by most miners naturally as the link of their mining pool.

However, users reported in some forums that HPool was secretly deducting computing power, resulting in a decline in their earnings. At that time, HPool was the only mining pool with large computing power on the market. When Alex and the team discovered this problem, they studied the technical vulnerabilities and data broadcast therefore identified the problem. During this period, the HPool team began to work extremely hard to dispel rumors. They used simple words explaining to every miner and user the technical principles and computing power issues in major forums, media, and websites.

On the other hand, the popularity of Chia made the mining rigs difficult to buy. Some suppliers began to sell the mining rigs under the name of HPool, hoping to get more profits from it. Later, when the price of Chia dropped, they then pretended to be the official to publish radical articles, trying to lead their conflict of interest with the users to the official. This caused many miners who bought mining rigs to go to HPool, asking for an explanation and solutions. HPool has to explain to customers one by one. At the beginning of this incident, Bram, founder of Chia, chose to stand with the miners to criticize HPool, ask users do not use HPool because of the problem of stealing computing power.

Facing the crisis, Alex shared the latest technical knowledge with the miners, meanwhile dealt with the remaining problems of the mining rigs business. At the same time, he actively contacted Chia officials and provided all necessary materials, showing the fairness of HPool by the transparency. With Alex’s continuing efforts and the improvement of Chia’s mining ecology, the crisis was finally resolved. Miners found that HPool can get the highest profit compared to new mining pools, so most of the miners finally chose HPool. HPool withstood the test of the market. Since then, HPool has been firmly occupying the first position in the global ranking of POC and Chia mining pools.

In the near future, more mining pools will participate in the competition and share HPool’s market. But for Alex, clarification of various misunderstandings remains the top priority. Secondly, POC mining pools can bloom. Each mining pool has its own characteristics, there is no product that could satisfy everybody. Sufficient service providers of mining pools can bring positive competition to the industry therefore meet the different needs of various users better.

Reskilling and Upskilling for the AI Age: Dee Agarwal’s Advice for Staying Ahead of the Curve

Published

18 hours ago

on

May 3, 2024

By

In the AI age, Dee Agarwal advocates for embracing change by continuously reskilling and upskilling. His advice emphasizes self-assessment, cultivating a growth mindset, focusing on human-centric skills, and embracing lifelong learning to thrive in the evolving landscape.

Atlanta, GA, 3rd May 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace. While AI automates routine tasks, it also creates a demand for a new breed of workforce – one equipped with the skills to collaborate effectively with intelligent machines and navigate this evolving landscape. Deepak (Dee) Agarwal, an experienced C-Suite executive, and an advocate for continuous learning, offers valuable insights on how individuals can thrive in the AI age through reskilling and upskilling.

“The key to success in the AI age isn’t fearing change, but embracing it,” says Dee Agarwal. “AI presents a tremendous opportunity to augment human capabilities and drive innovation. The future belongs to those who are willing to learn, adapt, and continuously develop their skillsets.”

Identifying Skill Gaps and Building on Strengths

The first step towards reskilling for the AI age involves self-evaluation. Dee Agarwal emphasizes the importance of understanding your current skillset and identifying areas for improvement. “Take stock of your strengths and weaknesses,” he advises. “What are the technical skills you possess? Do you have a strong foundation in data analysis or programming? Are you comfortable working with complex systems?”

Dee Agarwal suggests exploring online resources and industry reports to identify in-demand skills for your specific field. “Look for opportunities to bridge skill gaps through online courses, boot camps, or even certifications offered by your employer,” he says. “Remember, lifelong learning is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.”

Developing a Growth Mindset

Beyond acquiring new technical skills, Dee Agarwal emphasizes the importance of cultivating a growth mindset. “People with a growth mindset believe that their talents and abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication,” he explains. “This optimistic outlook is crucial for embracing challenges and persisting through setbacks, which are inevitable when learning new skills.”

Dee Agarwal suggests adopting a learning-oriented approach to work. “Don’t shy away from taking on challenging projects that push you outside your comfort zone,” he says. “View every opportunity as a chance to learn and grow. Seek out mentors who can guide you and provide valuable feedback.”

Focusing on Human-Centric Skills

While technical skills are essential, Dee Agarwal highlights the enduring value of human-centric skills in the AI age. “AI excels at tasks that are repetitive and rule-based,” he explains. “However, it lacks the creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence that are hallmarks of human expertise.”

Driving home this idea, Dee Agarwal emphasizes the importance of honing communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. “Effective communication is vital for working with diverse teams and stakeholders,” he says. “Collaboration allows us to leverage the collective intelligence of humans and machines, and strong problem-solving skills are critical for navigating complex situations and finding innovative solutions.”

Dee Agarwal reminds us that it takes years to teach people how to act with any sort of emotional intelligence and creativity, and computers simply don’t interact with people on an emotional level to have those learning experiences.

Embracing Lifelong Learning

The pace of technological change dictates that reskilling and upskilling are not one-time events, but rather ongoing processes. Dee Agarwal encourages individuals to develop a passion for lifelong learning. “Stay curious, explore new ideas, and keep yourself updated on the latest technological advancements,” he advises. “There are countless resources available online and in your community to fuel your learning journey.”

Building a Future-Proof Career

By embracing reskilling and upskilling, individuals can position themselves for success in the AI age. Here are some key takeaways from Dee Agarwal’s advice:

  • Self-assessment: Regularly evaluate your strengths and weaknesses to identify areas for improvement.

  • Identify in-demand skills: Research your industry and pinpoint the skills employers are seeking.

  • Develop a growth mindset: Believe in your ability to learn and grow, and view challenges as opportunities.

  • Focus on human-centric skills: Hone your communication, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities.

  • Embrace lifelong learning: Cultivate a passion for learning and stay updated on the latest advancements.

“The AI age presents both challenges and opportunities,” concludes Dee Agarwal. “By embracing continuous learning and developing a future-proof skillset, you can thrive in this dynamic environment and contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving world.”

As AI continues to stretch into more facets of daily life, Dee Agarwal’s guidance will become increasingly relevant for those aiming to stay ahead of the curve.
