"Dave's Data" - very much a "whatever I want to post about" blog but with some of my historical cryptocurrency mining exploits, some CS professor babble, some cooking, and recently some Rust.
My most read article was the one where I discussed a pretty crazy adventure creating an optimized miner for the monero cryptocurrency, discovering in the process the mechanism that had been used to artificially pre-mine its predecessor, Bytecoin. (It was released with an artificially slowed down implementation of the PoW function, which I managed to reverse engineer and discover the original design): https://da-data.blogspot.com/2014/08/minting-money-with-mone...
