However, for 38 minutes earlier in the month Hawaii must hav...

Another new year begins and many of us are probably shopping for insurance again because our provider just put up the premium on our renewals.

A key measure of the size of the Bitcoin network is the hash rate*, the combined computing power of the miners operating the network.
