By the way, the SORA L1 Blockchain (SorachanCoin-qt) is equipped with a benchmarking feature that allows for detailed measurement of drive speeds.
Here, for the purpose of measurement, cryptographic random numbers are used to generate randomness. This is because it leads to accurate results in random measurements of SSDs.
Why go to such lengths? It’s because SSDs have a very strong algorithmic component, and using predictable random numbers could result in artificially accelerated speeds by pre-storing such information on the flash memory. Therefore, drive measurements using unpredictable random numbers generated by cryptographic methods (as adopted by Bitcoin, etc.) are the best approach to ensure no falsification is possible.
And the reason for incorporating this into the SORA L1 Blockchain? Of course, it’s to be used in future applications, such as in consensus mechanisms. That’s something to look forward to.
For SORA where rewards were not paid due to pool maintenance, manual payment has now been completed.
