Bitcoin mine scale

6. In order to know what mining is calculating, we must first know the essence of bitcoin and its proction process. Bitcoin is a network-based electronic currency, which is actually a string of codes of the Internet, calculated by algorithms. Mining is the process of completing the algorithm and the only way to proce bitcoin. And because of the algorithm, there are only 21 million bitcoins
1. Mining can not only proce bitcoin, but also guarantee transaction information
similarly, a mathematical system contains 21 million mathematical problems, so we need to constantly seek the special solution of each mathematical problem through a huge amount of calculation. In addition, the special solution is unique
mining can not only increase the supply of bitcoin money, but also protect the security of bitcoin transactions and prevent fraulent transactions. In terms of process, bitcoin network is a point-to-point payment system, and anyone can trade through the transaction program
in order to ensure that the transaction process is truthfully recorded, the role of "miner" is required to be responsible for recording bitcoin transaction information. The time interval is 10 minutes. The best recorded transaction records among miners will be packaged and stored in a new block, and the corresponding miners will also receive a certain amount of bitcoin rewards
2. The mining process is extremely complex, which is beyond human power
the specific process is as follows. When a miner listens to the transaction, he will first verify the transaction information. The verified transactions will be recorded by miners and stored in their own database. There may be thousands of miners in the world doing the same thing, but every ten minutes, only one miner has the right to create a new block, so that the transaction information recorded by himself can be recognized and stored permanently
next, miners need to fight for the right to keep accounts. This is a competition of computing power. The core of this competition is to use computers to complete a large number of calculation tasks and find a super difficult random number. This random number is the special solution of the equation mentioned in the first paragraph. The miner who calculates the correct random number first wins. According to the rules of the game, the probability of a miner getting the accounting right is directly proportional to the proportion of his computing power in the total computing power of the whole network. In other words, the probability of finding the random number is equivalent to throwing out 100 million dice, and the total number of dice is less than 150 million. Therefore, mining requires a large number of computers, installation of specific algorithm software, repeated operation day and night, not human
3. Bitcoin mining is actually "villagers' bookkeeping"
maybe some netizens still don't understand, let's take an example. In a village, the villagers often borrow money from each other, even if they write a written document, there is a risk of default. Then, every time there is a loan behavior in the village, we will use the village trumpet to inform everyone that all the villagers (miners) will record all the transaction records in their own account books.

Recently, the news about "China quietly ordered the closure of bitcoin mines" spread like wildfire. Some media learned through insiders that the central bank held a closed door meeting to rectify some mines with non-standard electricity consumption

in fact, the rectification and treatment of Mines started last year, especially after the closing of domestic exchanges last year, the relevant regulatory authorities also discussed the issue of mine retention, but the conclusion is that the reasons for closing mines are not sufficient, and the mines have not caused more social problems, and the risk points are not clear, so no specific arrangements have been made. However, all localities have received "window guidance", that is, local enterprises can not participate in digital currency mining

in 2016, China's power generation ranked first in the world, and the total power generation accounted for 25% of the world. In this case, according to common sense, mining power in China is indeed the most abundant, especially with the decline of China's economic growth, the wasted power resources are increasing

the electricity of power stations can not be stored, but if the electricity is converted into digital currency, it can be stored. In fact, if China's surplus power generation can be converted into bitcoin for storage, it should be the most efficient mode of proction and operation. It is equivalent to procing US dollars with electricity. It is a processing export mode with the highest added value

in addition, according to the historical development, most of the power in the future may be consumed by computers. This is a judgment I made, which can be witnessed by our generation. In our daily life, the proportion of electricity consumption will be lower and lower. In the future, mankind will solve all kinds of problems by means of digitization and blockchain, and "mines" will only increase, not decrease. Especially with the development of artificial intelligence, space exploration and other fields, the demand for computing power will increase exponentially

electricity is just a kind of energy, just like a person, the biggest energy consumption is not the limbs, but the brain. The human brain is a 24-hour machine. A thinking person's brain consumes 75% of the liver's stored blood sugar every day, and the oxygen consumption accounts for 20% of the whole body's oxygen consumption. The more the brain thinks, the more glucose the neurons need

When the electric lamp was invented 200 years ago, people thought that the best use of electricity was to light the bulb. Has the final say that what electricity market will be most effective in future? p> No one can see electricity. Up to now, it is difficult for many people to understand the mystery of its existence, but electricity has changed the world. The influence of many virtual things is often greater than that of physical things. What does "digital assets" mean to China and the world? I think it is difficult for many people, including the government, to make clear at this time. What we need to reflect on is that apart from the four great inventions, such as electricity, light, telephone, computer, digital currency and so on, how many of the things that are pushing mankind forward are invented by China

when a phenomenon appears, we must study the background and logic behind it. The future competition can be said to be military competition, economic development competition and financial competition, but it can also be said to be ideological and computational competition. It's easier to close mines than to stop trends

8. At present, under the premise of the bottleneck in the development of the coal instry, the employment prospect of mining engineering specialty has encountered some difficulties, but it is also an opportunity. Mining belongs to the basic instry and will still play an important role in the future. Graates majoring in mining engineering can be engaged in the design and transformation management of coal mines, iron ores, gold mines, gypsum mines and railways. They can also work in the proction and development, scientific research and teaching of six kinds of mining instries, including metallurgy, nonferrous metals, chemical instry, nuclear instry, non metals and coal, and water conservancy, railway, underground, engineering and environmental protection departments. Mining engineering is a major of Geology and mineral resources. It mainly studies and studies the theory and method of deposit mining, and develops new mining technology. In the world, the major of mining came into being earlier than before. During the instrial revolution in the west, it has a long history. China first established the major in China University of mining and technology in 1909

Bitcoin is very power consuming and its value fluctuates greatly, which is similar to a speculative investment

To get bitcoin by mining requires a lot of power< p> What we need to know is that at present, the mainstream mines use graphics cards to improve the computing power of mining. Each miner has several graphics cards, and each miner has several miners. In this case, the power consumption is naturally high. But the point is that as long as anyone who has followed bitcoin news knows about it, even if bitcoin ranks among the world's top 30 power consumers, it will only surprise everyone, not particularly strange. Especially in the current bitcoin hot situation, more and more people are engaged in the mining instry, and it is expected that the power consumption will naturally increase

with the further spread of this kind of virtual currency, dog money has graally come into people's sight, and more and more people want to invest in this kind of virtual currency. Because some very rich people will invest in this kind of virtual currency. For example, musk is keen on investing in dog money. In any case, there are a lot of people who can make huge profits
