Blockchain environments may mix-and-match different encryption, difficulty, and / or proof-of-work schemes when mining blockchain transactions. Each encryption, difficulty, and / or proof-of-work scheme may be separate, stand-alone programs, files, or third-party services. Blockchain miners may be agnostic to a particular coin's or network's encryption, difficulty, and / or proof-of-work schemes, thus allowing any blockchain miner to process or mine data in multiple blockchains. GPUs, ASICs, and other specialized processing hardware components may be deterred by forcing cache misses, cache latencies, and processor stalls. Hashing, difficulty, and / or proof-of-work schemes require less programming code, consume less storage space / usage in bytes, and execute faster. Blockchain mining schemes may further randomize byte or memory block access, further improve cryptographic security.

To provide a method for dispensing liquid.SOLUTION: A method of dispensing fluid includes three processes. A first one of these processes includes a step of pumping fluid into a resilient variable-volume dispensing chamber. The dispensing chamber is in series with a normally present finite fluid impedance and an output. The impedance is sufficient so as to cause expansion of the dispensing chamber as it receives pumped fluid even while some fluid flows through the output. Another one of these processes includes a step of repeatedly measuring a parameter related to volume of the dispensing chamber over time. A third one of these processes includes a step of controlling the pumping of fluid based on repeated measurements of the parameter to produce a desired fluid flow through the output. A corresponding system for dispensing fluid implements these processes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
