What does bitcoin mining mean
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client
after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
extended information:
as a virtual commodity, bitcoin itself has no national boundaries, and its operation mode is a "decentralized" monetary system, which is very convenient for one-time large transaction. Bitcoin is traded through the network, and the owner's identity is only in the form of a set of encrypted computer code
in the operation, input a digital address directly, click the mouse a few times, and wait for the confirmation of the transaction to complete the transaction. The network can only record which address a bitcoin was g up from and how it was transferred
however, the identity of the owners of these addresses can not be verified, which is just like when money goes to an ownerless bank account, the relevant transactions can easily be invisible from the perspective of government supervision, and it is difficult to be tracked or intercepted. In addition, bitcoin can evade the scrutiny of exchange control institutions required by normal cross-border remittance, and the transaction records will not be recorded by banks and other parties
naturally, the problem of reporting to relevant departments after the transaction exceeds a certain amount is avoided. Buy bitcoin with domestic currency, sell it on foreign trading platforms, and withdraw it in US dollars. Asset transfer can be completed in a few minutes
it is not difficult to open an overseas bank account related to bitcoin for foreign exchange, and the conversion is very convenient. Because of these characteristics, bitcoin has been chosen by criminal organizations
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
Mining means that users download software from personal computers and then run specific algorithms to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote servers
bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods
bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware, and the miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by the 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

extended materials:
the founder of bitcoin:
on November 1, 2008, a person who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto posted a research statement on a secret cryptography review group, stating his new idea of e-money - bitcoin came out and the first transaction of bitcoin was completed
bitcoin has got rid of the constraints of third-party organizations with the help of Internet, which Nakamoto calls "regional chain". Users are willing to dedicate the computing power of CPU and run a special software to be a "digger", which will form a network to maintain the "regional chain". In the process, they also generate new money
trading is also extended on this network. The computer running this software can solve the problem of irreversible code, which contains several trading data
the first "miner" to deal with the problem will be rewarded with 50 bitcoin, and the relevant trading area will join the chain. As the number of "miners" increases, the difficulty of each puzzle also increases, which keeps the proctivity of bitcoin in each trading area at about 10 minutes
in 2009, Nakamoto designed a digital currency, namely bitcoin. The booming bitcoin market has gone up and down, and the identity of its founder "Nakamoto" has always been a mystery. Rumors about "the father of bitcoin" involve from the US National Security Agency to financial experts, and also give bitcoin a mysterious aura
Bitcoin mining is a process of using computer hardware to calculate transaction confirmation and improve security. Bitcoin is a reward for miners to calculate and confirm
bitcoin also has a hype mode. Similar to bitcoin, there are also flow ores. Flow ores also have ways of trading and speculation, but the mining principle of flow ores is different from bitcoin. Flow ores mainly collect the idle bandwidth of miners and give them rewards
in fact, the blockchain technology adopted by bitcoin is more valuable than itself. This is a new way of information storage. The data is stored in all devices connected to the network. When new devices join, the information will be updated automatically, and all devices have the right to read the information
to understand the significance of bitcoin from the perspective of currency, we need to understand the currency itself first, and then compare it with the characteristics of bitcoin. After comparison, I think that bitcoin is a very high-quality currency, but some people don't think it is. They mainly question the formation mechanism of bitcoin and the lack of national credit as guarantee. They think its foundation is relatively weak
at present, there are quite a lot of arguments about bitcoin in academic circles. For example, if the total amount of bitcoin is certain, then whether it will cause deflation or inflation has different views. I think it's deflation, and the value of bitcoin will be higher and higher
at present, bitcoin still means a little bit of a safe haven currency. When the news of brexit came out, the transaction price of bitcoin rose by 20% - 30% to about 4500 yuan / piece
the biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. 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 21 million
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. Bitcoin, also known as bitcoin, is an open source software designed and released according to the idea of Nakamoto Tsung, and a P2P network built on it. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific central issuing institution. It uses distributed databases throughout the P2P network nodes to record currency transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation
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-
bitcoin is a string of code generated by an open-source P2P software, which we call cryptocurrency, e-currency and so on. Bitcoin is proced by mining. Generally speaking, bitcoin mining is to use your hardware to calculate the mathematical problems of sh265 algorithm, confirm network transactions, and ensure the security of the whole network system. As a reward, bitcoin system will give a certain amount of bitcoin reward according to the amount of computing power contributed by miners

mining is bitcoin. Bitcoin will be generated several times every other period of time, and whoever grabs it will own it. The computer connected to the bitcoin system is the tool "miner" for grabbing bitcoin. As for the issue of national recognition of bitcoin, simply speaking, it depends on the possible impact on the country< br />
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.
