The interest for digital currencies appears to be rising again of late and in turn, cryptocurrency mining operations are starting to pick up steam as the currency once again attempts to assert itself as a mainstay in the global economy.

In turn, blockchain technologies are becoming increasingly essential to maximize cryptocurrency mining potential, as well as to bolster security against enhanced security risks. The headlines in the digital currency market include leaders in the space acquiring new equipment to maximize their cryptocurrency mining efforts, as well as an overall update on the state of blockchain.
