Is the node of bitcoin mining the whole node
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
extended data:
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
a node is a network node in the blockchain distributed ledger system. By connecting servers, computers and other devices through the network, different types of blockchains have different ways to become nodes. For example, bitcoin participates in trading and mining, and EOS participates in election campaign to become a node
the following is what is a bitcoin full node
bitcoin full node is the node that downloads and preserves complete blockchain data by loading bitcoin clients (including bitcoin unlimited and bitcoin)
because of the congestion of the blockchain transaction network, the author solves the problem by adjusting the broadcast communication, information encryption and decryption, consensus mechanism and transaction verification mechanism. In the whole bitcoin network, from miners to ordinary users can be regarded as a node in the bitcoin network, but because bitcoin has the characteristics of multi centralization, In the whole network, its important role is "bitcoin all nodes."
first of all, the cost of hard disk has dropped from the lowest of US $0.025/gb in 2017 to US $0.15/gb, a 40% drop in three years. If this rate of decline continues, then by 2022, the decline rate of hard disk home will be faster than the growth rate of bitcoin, because over time, hosting a full node will be more economical
however, there are some technical solutions to solve this problem, which can rece the storage burden of the whole node. One of the most common solutions is light node. These nodes use a simplified payment verification method to verify transactions. Users only need to download a small part of the blockchain, but they need to rely on the third-party full node hosting the whole blockchain.
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
bitcoin is a kind of point-to-point e-cash system, more directly, node to node. Each transaction is broadcast by the originator to the nodes around it, and then broadcast to the nodes around it after receiving it, and finally spread to the whole network
every bitcoin wallet is a node, and the node with a complete blockchain ledger is called the whole node. In October 2017, there were about 9300 nodes in the bitcoin network, which were responsible for broadcasting and verifying bitcoin transfer transactions. After the transfer transaction occurs, all nodes broadcast to the whole network. After the mining node verifies that the transaction is correct, it will be recorded in the blockchain ledger. The United States, Germany and France have the largest number of bitcoin nodes, with China accounting for about 5% of the world's total nodes Data source: bitcodes. 21. CO) running bitcoin node does not provide any reward, and it does not need the whole node to transfer bitcoin, so the total number of bitcoin nodes only accounts for a small part of the node number.
does each node have complete blockchain data? You mean a user node? A user node needs to keep the of the block head of the longest workload proof chain, so it knows the data of all the block heads. It can move forward to know all the data on the block chain, but not all of them are saved. A block header is very small, only 80 bytes, which can be saved completely, because the generation of nodes is very slow. Even with the passage of time, the amount is not too large now.

Bitcoin mining is a process of using computer hardware to do mathematical calculation for bitcoin network to confirm transactions and improve security
Bitcoin is actually a useless string of numbers, but it is recognized as useful, just like diamonds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, game skin and so on. They can't be eaten or used, but we will recognize their value
"mining" just allows more people to participate in the construction of blockchain network. Is it really good that so many electricity charges are used to "calculate" a series of virtual values? Bitcoin is not a hedge. The price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. Speculation on bitcoin may become rich overnight or become poor overnight. Bitcoin is not as safe as it claims. In 2014, the world's largest bitcoin trading website, mtgox, was hacked and went bankrupt, and the $467 million worth of bitcoin evaporated instantly. Criminals use it to launder money, evade taxes and so on. It is also quite difficult for the government to investigate. The above personal opinions are welcome to be criticized and corrected.
