Fast and eco friendly PoW with Trinity
The world is talking about global warming. Bitcoin’s enormous energy requirement is bad for the climate.
IOTA needs much less energy, but also needs computing power, among other things, for the PoW, which currently makes up a large part of the energy required.
We, TangleKit, made it to our task to optimize the processes in and around IOTA in order to make it even better, faster and more environmentally friendly.
Through special hardware our service powsrv.io offers faster and more efficient PoW, which avoids wasting energy and thus protects the environment.
With the release of Trinity 1.1.0, powsrv.io can now easily be used for sending transactions within Trinity. This makes the use of Trinity faster and leads to a longer battery life, especially for mobile use.
