Introduction to bitcoin computing power
The following is the distribution chart of computing power:
the computing power of bitcoin is mainly controlled by some mine owners in the world, and the computing power of retail investors is very small, almost negligible. The computing power of China's mining pool even accounts for more than 80%, and China's voice is increasing
however, many digital currencies no longer need to be mined. Some digital currencies will be directly sent to investors through ICO, and Puyin is one of the representatives, but these digital currencies generally correspond to real assets
Bitcoin bulls often mention that the scarcity value of this cryptocurrency is the main reason for its continued rise. Bitcoin is similar to gold to some extent. The growth of its supply is extremely slow, and it is still slowing down. Its total supply will only reach 21 million
with the increasing interest of institutional investors and retail investors in bitcoin, global exchanges such as the Chicago Board of options (CBOE) have launched bitcoin futures contracts. This is likely to encourage more institutional investors to invest in bitcoin, while at the same time further curbing the price volatility of bitcoin
this much anticipated bitcoin futures trading has been launched on the Chicago Board of options exchange, which represents a significant step in the legalization of cryptocurrency. Futures is a derivative / financial instrument, which can force dealers to buy and sell an asset at a specific time and price
in short, it is a redistribution of computing power driven by interests.

What does 1p mean
first of all, 1p computing power is equivalent to about 1.05 million g, which means that if you have 1g computing power of the whole network, you can get almost 1.05 million of bitcoin output of the whole network. According to the output of 3800 bitcoins per day, we can see that the daily income of 1g of computing power has dropped to 0.0036 bitcoins, which is about 2.7 yuan according to the current market price. If the electricity cost and mining machinery hardware cost are included, the profit is almost gone
secondly, 1p's whole network computing power seems amazing, but in fact, in a year's time, you will think it's just a pediatrics, because cointera will launch 2p miner in December, and bitmine will launch 4P miner in March next year. If these companies are not put in biochemical weapons by Syria, it should be expected that bitcoin's whole network computing power will reach more than 10p in a year's time, By then, 1g of computing power will only be able to dig 0.00036 bitcoins a day.
computing power refers to computing power, refers to that in the process of getting bitcoin through "mining", we need to find its corresponding solution M. for any 64 bit hash value, there is no fixed algorithm to find its solution M. we can only rely on computer random hash collisions. How many hash collisions can a mining machine do per second, is the representative of its "computing power". The unit is written as hash / s, which is the so-called proof of work mechanism (POW)
bitcoin will be released on the Internet regularly to mine. To put it bluntly, it is the process that people use computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it
mining is definitely the first professional mining machine. Many new children's shoes will choose to mine with graphics card. However, mining with graphics card is just like doing a professional job with "magic oil", but the efficiency is certainly not high. To dig bitcoin, we should pay attention to the following points: first, computing power (i.e. mining speed), second, power consumption, and third, stable performance. Computing power, bitcoin mining is faster than problem-solving speed, so it is self-evident that speed is more important; Power consumption is directly related to efficiency, that is, the issue of cost expenditure; The stability of performance mainly depends on the stability of calculation force when the working frequency is constant. Just think about it, no one wants the miner to lose its computing power every so often, or even break down. After all, it's all money ~
the general computing power of the graphics card is a few gigabytes, while the professional miner chip is as high as several thousand gigabytes. Take bm1387, the chip with the lowest power consumption in the world, as an example, the S9's computing power is as high as 14T, the power consumption on the wall is only 1400W, and the rated computing power reaches 13.5 Th / s ± 1 J / GH + 12% (wall, AC / DC 93% efficiency, 25 ° Rated voltage: 11.6 ~ 13.0v, in addition, in the case of non independent power supply, three power calculation boards can be connected to different power supply respectively, but each power calculation board can not be connected to multiple power supply, and ensure that the power calculation board is finally powered on
among the mining machines, ant mining machine is my favorite. At the same time, based on the average investment cost of bitcoin in the early stage, ant S9 can basically recover the capital in about five months, and the income in the later stage is immeasurable.
previously, graphics cards were sold out because of the strong purchase of gold miners. The algorithm design of bitcoin is more and more difficult to dig. Therefore, the investment to dig the same bitcoin now is many times higher than a few years ago. Since the "mining" incident in Daqing Oilfield was exposed, the local police have counted the number. The average electricity cost of the mining machine seized is close to 500000 yuan in one month, and if it steals electricity, it is equivalent to making 500000 yuan in vain.
1) bitcoin trading is not to buy the computing power of other people's computers. It's just like stock trading, buying bitcoin through RMB. Now bitcoin trading is also an investment. Let other people's computers serve you, that is, when others choose to mine, when you are a miner, you need a third party to confirm and record bitcoin transactions. This is the miner's confirmation of your transaction by running the bitcoin algorithm. Then help you record the transaction in the data block and keep it in the P2P network
2) bitcoin itself has no value, just like RMB. But its value comes from the mathematical framework, P2P network characteristics and people's confidence in bitcoin, which represents the future direction of financial development. So you have value
the total number of bitcoin is 21 million, which avoids inflation. People believe that bitcoin will appreciate in the future, so they rush to buy it.
but bitcoin mining as an infrastructure, if bitcoin can continue to exist, although the income of mining is reced, for the security of the whole bitcoin network system, some big bitcoin companies may invest in mining to maintain the security of bitcoin network system. In addition, the future of bitcoin will become more clear and bright. Bitcoin's computing power will not decrease, but will increase.
