Bitcoin mining calculation formula
1. Machine cost: the cost of purchasing mining machine
2. Power cost: the power cost consumed by machine mining
3. Auxiliary costs: personnel maintenance, network, cable consumables, heat dissipation, etc.
for a simple example, take the mining machine of ant S9, which consumes less power on the market, for example, the calculation power is 13.5T, and the power consumption is 1400W
when the mining machine runs for 24 hours: 1.4kw * 24 = 33.6 degrees
Shenma m3, which consumes more power on the market, has a calculation power of 11.5t, The power consumption is 2150w
under 24-hour operation, the power consumption of a single machine is 2.15kw * 24 = 51.6oc
which is roughly equivalent to the power consumption of energy-saving air conditioning, but the bitcoin miner needs 24-hour uninterrupted operation, the power consumption of a single machine is very large after a year's calculation, and the step price cost of household electricity is too high, When the market is not good, the income may not be enough for the electricity expenditure, so at present, mining will choose to be hosted in the mine, which can get cheap electricity and rece the cost price of mining. The price below 30% is the ideal price, which can keep the price of bitcoin falling to a low level, and there is still some income< According to the current mining difficulty of bitcoin:
BTC revenue per ton: 1th / s * 24h = 0.00007087btc
calculated by the comprehensive 12t machine computing power, the daily output is:
0.00007087t * 12t = 0.00085044btc
then the time required for a single machine to dig a BTC:
1 / 0.00085044 = 1175 days
the time required for ten mining machines to dig a BTC:
1 / 0.0085044 = 117 days
100 days In other words, according to the current difficulty, it takes about three years for a single miner to proce a bitcoin, 3.9 months for ten miners to dig a bitcoin, and 11.7 days for a hundred miners to dig a bitcoin. The cost of a single miner is about 8500, Ten are around 85000, one hundred is 850000, less than one million, and one month's income is more than two bitcoins. According to the current price of bitcoin, the price is about 120000. So, although the income of bitcoin mining is not as good as before, it is still considerable compared with other investment projects
however, these benefits do not include decting the cost of electricity charges and later maintenance of machines, so the premise of mining is to find a mine with low electricity charges. If the quantity is large, we need to find a safe, reliable and stable mine. What's more, we need cheap electricity to lower the cost price.
It's about 37 yuan
let me first introce the reward mechanism of bitcoin system
bitcoin can basically dig out a block every 10 minutes through system settings. The reward for each block is given to the miners who dig out the block. The miner who digs out the block is called the block miner. The block miner will record the legal transactions in the bitcoin network to the blockchain, so that the miner can receive the service charge for bookkeeping
there are two parts in the reward for the block Miner: one part is the reward given by the system, which is called coinbase reward (also known as system issuance reward), the other part is the reward for bookkeeping, which is called miner's fee. The coinbase reward started with 50 bitcoins. For every integral multiple of 210000 blocks, the coinbase reward will be halved. This is what we often hear about bitcoin mining reward halved in four years
at the present stage, the reward of coinbase is 12.5 bitcoins. At the present stage, the average transaction miner fee received by miners for digging out a block is about 0.1 bitcoin (not fixed), that is to say, the average reward received by miners for digging out a block is about 12.6 bitcoin
about 99% of miners' rewards come from the system's coinbase rewards. According to the bitcoin system, one block can be g out every 10 minutes on average. The number of new blocks that can be g out in one day is 144 (60 * 24 / 10 = 144). At present, the number of bitcoins that can be g out every day is 1800btc (144 * 12.5btc = 1800btc). With the miner's fee of about 0.1btc per block, the total reward for all miners in one day is about 1814.4btc
You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years
the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin
in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned
extended data:
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system
bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer
when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million
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.

Bitcoin mining is a process of using computer hardware to do mathematical calculation for bitcoin network to confirm transactions and improve security
whole network computing power (estimation)
199947 gigahashes / s
this is the current computing power of 3600 coins proced per day divided by computing power 0. It's just 8000g last month. The price is rising too fast. The mining machine has been in mass proction
In fact, the mining calculation of bitcoin is to do math problems together. The problem stem is the transaction that needs to be recorded. By doing the problem, everyone grabs the bookkeeping right, and the miners can get system rewards and transaction fees. The feature of sha256 algorithm used in bitcoin is that it is easy to verify the known answers correctly, but it is very troublesome to get the answers, and it needs to try one by one. The miner who got the answer first was recognized by everyone as having snatched the right to keep accounts, and the reward was given to him. Let's continue to grab the bookkeeping right of the next question. In short, the significance of these calculations is only to ensure the stability and safety of the whole system, and there is no more significance
it is not comprehensive to regard bitcoin as a by-proct of computing. The generation and issuance of bitcoin, all the transactions and circulation in the bitcoin chain, and the stability of the bitcoin system are the purpose of computing and are integrated. Of course, in addition to maintaining the system, it does not proce other value and procts. This is also a black spot where bitcoin is accused of not being environmentally friendly and wasting resources. In general, bitcoin, as a milestone blockchain digital currency, is e to the huge value of a large amount of computing power investment and user trust. There is no doubt about that
