Kazakhstan’s central bank has signaled plans to place up to $300 million into crypto and crypto-linked assets, a move that would mark one of the clearest examples yet of a sovereign institution putting reserve money into this market. Based on reports, the funds would come from the country’s gold and foreign-exchange reserves rather than its social or oil wealth funds.

Data from the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index shows that Chinese miners produced about 65% of the world’s Bitcoin computing power in 2020.In 2021, the Chinese government moved to stop mining activity. Authorities cited concerns about financial risks, capital outflows and the high electricity use required for mining. In September 2021, the People’s Bank of China declared all cryptocurrency transactions illegal and confirmed the nationwide ban on mining.The immediate result was a sharp drop in global hashrate as many Chinese mining…

Are all these signatures cryptographically valid for the same inputs? If so, how can different implementations produce different signatures? Yes. ECDSA as originally and officially defined (like the earlier DSA using Z_p it is based on) is randomized; see step 3 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital_Signature_Algorithm . A tweak to make it deterministic, but still secure except for leaking duplicates, was defined subsequently in https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6979 . (For info, Thomas Pornin is a longtime and highranked contributor on https://crypto.stackexchange.com .) Signer implementations, including those for bitcoin, may use this if the developer chooses; you can find out by doing multiple signature operations on the…
