“…Bitcoin is the first attempt to create a decentralized virtual currency that is not controlled by a central bank or financial entity. The paper entitled “Bitcoin, An SWOT Analysis” (Mirzayi and Mehrzad, 2017) is the most relevant study to the first-tier keyword currency , in which they concluded that the most important factors to influence the future of Bitcoin price and currency are technological advances and people's openness to Bitcoin, the intervention of government and financial powers by enacting laws around cryptocurrencies and external events that are closely related to the Bitcoin community.…”

PurposeThis study aims to provide researchers a holistic approach for comprehensive understanding of the Bitcoin-related research by discovering its trends, subjects, relations, keywords and concepts.Design/methodology/approachAn integrated approach of bibliometric analysis, network analysis and concept linking analysis was proposed for exploring Bitcoin-related studies from 70 countries in the Scopus database.FindingsThe bibliometric analysis shows that electronic money and blockchain are the mainstream issues of Bitcoin, and the domain distribution of the literature is mainly in engineering-related fields. Through the network analysis of cocitations, co-occurrences and cowords, research clusters were discovered respectively from different perspectives. The authors also have mastered a multilevel concept linking diagram for six related major concepts.Originality/valueThe major contribution of this research is about providing an integrated and comprehensive approach to extract the mainstream issues that can help researchers conduct Bitcoin-relevant research. This study shows the development trend, context and clusters of Bitcoin-related studies from various perspectives networks and produces a visual concept linking diagram that will enable researchers to quickly understand the contextual relationship between Bitcoin keywords during literature analysis. In addition, the most crucial studies in the main topics are extracted to save the considerable time and labor that would be required to manually read all the literature and summarize the issues.

“…Blockchain technology primary attribute is it maintains anonymity, from this attribute attacker took advantage and use it for criminal activity. Attackers could trace the IP address and do transactions [69]. Continuous transactions in blockchain proliferate size of the block, which leads to longer download time and take more memory space [70].…”

Background: Significant innovations in technology and progressing use of renewable energy sources (RES) reinforce the demand for the sustainable, continuous and abundant supply of energy to every consumer. Blockchain, as an emerging technology promises to provide temper proof, secure, transparent and decentralized energy trading mechanisms that help to provide sustainable environmental solutions by circulating economy to empower both consumers and prosumers. The rapid development of blockchain technology has gained interest from energy start-ups, innovation developers, finance suppliers, academic institutions and government. Results: This study outlines potential significance, benefits and application of blockchain technology and analyses how Pakistan can integrate blockchain technology into its distribution system to cope with current challenges. Although the substantial renewable potential of Pakistan is an opportunity to implement blockchain technology but financial management, innovative technology development and acceptance of decentralized technology are the biggest obstacles. After a detailed discussion of Pakistan's current financial position, digital market structure, energy policy and technology situation for the implication of blockchain technology, Photographic Geographical Information System (PVGIS-5) data base tool is used to estimate solar power generation capacity from prosumer community in potential areas of country like Baluchistan. Conclusion: This study recommended feasible site for solar power generation according to PVGIS tool. Then introduces a street scenario about domestic power generation and blockchain based distribution into Pakistan's energy sector like Brooklyn energy system by regulating laws, revising energy polices and suitable development subsidies.

“…The dependability of blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum and Bitcoin (Weber et al, 2017) is critical for applications such as managing, processing, and tracing financial, legal, physical, or electronic assets across a network of parties irrespective of geography (Kakushadze and Russo, 2018;Saberi et al, 2018). Technical hurdles hindering blockchain from mass adoption include scalability (e.g., latency and network speed, size, reliability, and efficiency), security (e.g., network and user privacy), usability (network and user), accountability (e.g., trust and data quality), performance, and resource requirements (e.g., energy consumption, physical hardware needed to implement computational abstractions, and resilience and robustness of communication networks) (Mirzayi and Mehrzad, 2017;Gatteschi et al, 2018;Joshi et al, 2018;Mendling et al, 2018;Raghavan, 2018)-in essence, information storage efficiency, communication efficiency, and energy efficiency. Nontechnical concerns with respect to food sovereignty have been raised (Mooney, 2018).…”

What is the resource footprint of a computer science department? Place, people, and Pedagogy

Internet and Communication Technology/electrical and electronic equipment (ICT/EEE) form the bedrock of today’s knowledge economy. This increasingly interconnected web of products, processes, services, and infrastructure is often invisible to the user, as are the resource costs behind them. This ecosystem of machine-to-machine and cyber-physical-system technologies has a myriad of (in)direct impacts on the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. As key determinants of tomorrow’s digital world, academic institutions are critical sites for exploring ways to mitigate and/or eliminate negative impacts. This Report is a self-deliberation provoked by the question How do we create more resilient and healthier computer science departments: living laboratories for teaching and learning about resource-constrained computing, computation, and communication? Our response for University College London (UCL) Computer Science is to reflect on how, when, and where resources—energy, (raw) materials including water, space, and time—are consumed by the building (place), its occupants (people), and their activities (pedagogy). This perspective and attendant first-of-its-kind assessment outlines a roadmap and proposes high-level principles to aid our efforts, describing challenges and difficulties hindering quantification of the Department’s resource footprint. Qualitatively, we find a need to rematerialise the ICT/EEE ecosystem: to reveal the full costs of the seemingly intangible information society by interrogating the entire life history of paraphernalia from smartphones through servers to underground/undersea cables; another approach is demonstrating the corporeality of commonplace phrases and Nature-inspired terms such as artificial intelligence, social media, Big Data, smart cities/farming, the Internet, the Cloud, and the Web. We sketch routes to realising three interlinked aims: cap annual power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, become a zero waste institution, and rejuvenate and (re)integrate the natural and built environments.
