How to set BTC mining machine
bitcoin mining machine is a kind of computer used to earn bitcoin. This kind of computer generally has professional mining chips and works in the way of burning graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. It is one of the ways to get bitcoin that users download software from personal computer and then run specific algorithm to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote server
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment, and a competition of computing power among miners. Miners with more computing power are more likely to dig bitcoin. With the increase of computing power in the whole network, it is more and more difficult to dig bits with traditional devices (CPU, GPU). People have developed chips specially used for mining. Chip is the core part of mining machine. The process of chip operation will proce a lot of heat, in order to cool down, bitcoin miner is generally equipped with heat sink and fan
bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. Bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware. Miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by miners, so the competition for mining is very fierce
bitcoin mining started with low-cost hardware such as CPU or GPU, but with the popularity of bitcoin, the mining process has changed greatly. Nowadays, the mining activities are transferred to the field programmable gate array, and the hash speed can be achieved through optimization. The mining efficiency of this mode is very high
the mainstream is hd7970 hd7950 hd7850 hd7990 r9-290x R9 280x
the other worst configuration can be used to mine is multi card (a-card) crossfire
as a miner, I used graphics card very early and then butterfly machine. At present, I use Avalon's 220 miner and just received a new 180 ant miner. To tell you the truth, mining is not as simple as you think. Here I will list some practical difficulties you need to face in mining. If you find that some of these items can't be solved and overcome for the time being, don't rush to buy a miner, because from the moment you buy, if you can't mine, Then you will face a real loss
first, list the problems to face
1, be able to accept the noise - the noise of the mining machine is very loud, which is equivalent to that you put the air conditioner outside the room
1-1, strong hands-on ability - the noise can be controlled to a certain extent by adding water cooling, but it needs to be done by yourself. The installation process of water cooling is not as simple as the online tutorial. It needs to be extremely careful. The capacitor on the logic board is easy to touch, and it must be successful at one time. Once the refrigerant is added, the machine will have problems again, It would be disastrous to dismantle the water cooling system
1-2, conditional repair of the chip capacitor - in the process of water cooling installation, the capacitor is easy to fall off, these chip capacitors are very difficult to weld
2, you can set up the network - you can't just plug in the Internet cable! Need to understand the routing, know how to change the IP of the router, mining IP is fixed, according to mining IP to do settings
2-1, you can get a fixed IP address - if you are mining in a company, you can't set up a route, so you must have the condition to get a fixed IP, and then set up your own network through this IP
3. The environment of continuous power supply and continuous network - mining is a 24-hour business. Don't take it for granted that a meeting is OK in one day. Many companies will cut off power at midnight. This must be made clear
3-1. In low temperature environment, in addition to 24-hour continuous power supply, there should also be a relatively cold environment. In actual mining, we can clearly feel the importance of temperature for mining<
let's assume two scenarios,
in the company:
if your working environment is very quiet, it is not suitable, even if water cooling is installed. If you are a senior blue collar, in the workshop, do you have the conditions to set up the network and get a fixed IP? If you can't, give up
at home:
can you stand noise? Can tolerate to a certain extent
is it possible to install water cooling? It can be installed conditionally
is it possible to set up a network? There are also conditions to set up the network
is it warm in that room? Yes, but you can open windows on the second bedroom or balcony
is it possible to pull the wire and the wiring board in the balcony? No problem
congratulations, you can buy a miner to dig it up, but if one of them doesn't work, you need to think carefully before making a decision
the above-mentioned points should not be taken as unimportant or major problems. For example, it is necessary to have the conditions to install water cooling, for example, in a lower temperature environment, for example, to have a fixed IP
when the miner starts to operate and makes a rumbling sound, if you are in the company, you have to turn it off awkwardly. If you are at home, you need to figure out how to explain to your family or girlfriend that the noise will exist for 24 hours, and hope they don't mind
if your home is warm, your miner will never be able to achieve the highest computing power it can. You must accept it calmly, don't be depressed, it's useless to find the seller. Unless you open the window to let in the cold air, you will find that you and the miner are so out of place. That's why laomaozi is very fond of mining< Make complaints about mobile phone, br / > and if you work hard to move the mine to the company, you may think that the electricity charge is in the whole province. You can't get the mine to connect. Then you can only move the mine to home or sell it as a second-hand machine...
these words are typed word by word by me. I hope it can help you. You must find out whether you are qualified to do this at present. As for how to dig, it's a very simple thing: buy a miner, register an account on a mining website, Download a multibit to store the bitcoin you get, and link the miner to the network for power on, Set up the network, give it the fixed IP specified on the chassis, use the computer to access the IP, make some simple settings, and then wait for the receipt
what else can I ask you
System). In this system, the concept of single miner no longer exists, but the concept of mole cluster
taking Avalon 40 nm mole as an example, each mole has 295g computing power. According to the actual situation of the mine site, power supply and heat dissipation, users can freely choose to stack 1-40 moles (corresponding to about 0.3t-12t computing power) into a computing power cluster unit, which can be controlled by one terminal, one network cable and one IP address. Revolutionary technological innovation has raised the flexibility and simplicity of mine layout to an unprecedented level.
