Implementation of an efficient, portable and platform-agnostic cryptocurrency mining algorithm for Internet of Things devices

Recently, there has been a remarkable amount of research being done in both, the fields of Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT). Blockchain technology synergises well with IoT, solving key problems such as privacy, concerns with interoperability and security. However, the consensus mechanisms that allows trustless parties to maintain an agreement, the same algorithms that underpins cryptocurrency mining, are usually extremely computationally expensive, making implementation on low-power IoT d...
