What does bitcoin mining power mean

1.

bitcoin mining is a process that uses computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it

mining is an incentive process to record data in the bitcoin system. In the bitcoin system, indivial users have the right to pack blocks after calculating a specific hash value by using CPU or GPU to hash

and in order to reward this user for packing blocks, the system will give a certain amount of bitcoin as reward. Because this process is very similar to "mining" in real life, most people call this process mining. In addition to bitcoin, other electronic virtual currencies can also be obtained through mining rewards, such as Ethereum, Monroe and so on

mining risk:

1, currency security

the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin

2, system risk

system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income. However, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners

2.

Bitcoin is actually a virtual currency. When bitcoin first appeared, if you want to get bitcoin, you have to get bitcoin through mining. Therefore, bitcoin mining appeared. But bitcoin mining is more and more difficult, so it is very difficult to get bitcoin now

so now many people use Haru miner digs Ethereum, Monroe and other virtual coins. Most importantly, BTC can be directly equivalent in the end

3.

Mining bitcoin is also called mining. Starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique

in the metaphor of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of this equation system through a huge amount of calculation. This equation system is designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million

bitcoin: also known as "bitcoin", is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods

extended data:

shortcomings

first, the vulnerability of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities

Second, the transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed

Thirdly, the price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading

Fourthly, the public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless

4. Bitcoin mining is simply to use the computing power of your mining equipment to solve mathematical problems and confirm network transactions, so as to ensure the safety of the whole bitcoin system. In return, bitcoin system will give miners unequal bitcoin rewards

the professional point is that mining is a distributed consensus system that includes the transaction data to be confirmed into the block chain, so as to complete the confirmation of these transactions. By mining, the data in the block chain can be stored in chronological order, the neutrality of bitcoin network can be maintained, and different computers on the bitcoin network are allowed to agree on the system state. To be confirmed, a transaction must be packaged into a block that complies with very strict cryptographic rules and verified through bitcoin network. These rules can prevent the modification of existing blocks, because once there is a change, all blocks will be invalid. Mining is as difficult as winning the lottery. No one can easily and continuously add new blocks to the block chain. Therefore, no one can control what content is included in the block chain or replace part of the content in the block chain to rece their cost

at present, bitcoin mining needs professional ASIC mining machines. For example, Avalon mining machine (commonly known as pumpkin Zhang mining machine), which has created countless number one mining machines in the instry, is said to be coming out soon, 28nm chips will be streamed soon, and 16nm chips are under development.

5. The game of more than ten years ago, played in the computer, can raise chickens, their own monsters can eat chickens, can send villains to mine, and mine diggers can drag corpses. Game name "alloy warhead"

6. The actions in bitcoin can be regarded as the use of graphics card to do continuous general computing, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive. The stream processor used by graphics card is just suitable for such an algorithm. It's like constantly solving equations. The graphics card is 2000 middle school students, while the CPU is 8 math doctors. Although the mathematical knowledge of the doctor of mathematics is far more than that of the middle school students, the speed of solving medium-sized equations such as virtual currency is certainly not as fast as that of 2000 middle school students
therefore, we used graphics cards to mine virtual currency at the beginning. After that, someone developed a specific algorithm to make the stream processor of the graphics card greatly strengthen the virtual currency solution, which is the origin of the mining machine
the transmission of knowledge is driven by life

" Bitcoin Mining & quot; The concept of "gold mining" comes from the existing concepts in real economic life, such as gold mining and silver mining. Because minerals are valuable, it drives people to pay labor to dig

significance: compared with the special currency network, bitcoin mining is not only the basic guarantee for issuing coins, but also for maintaining the operation of bitcoin system; Behind every bitcoin mining activity is to create a new-type & quot; Note printing machine & quot

Bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transaction lines, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation

the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has scarcity
