Abstract
Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency powered by a decentralized peer-to-peer network of computers, has been hot this season. With the exchange rate bobbing around US $100, those involved in creating new bitcoins´ and upholding the network that makes them valuable´ have become locked in an arms race of sorts, seeking new, powerful machines that will enrich them but that could also destabilize the nascent virtual money.
