Bitcoin mining app
if you have no technology and want to start mining, you are likely to step on the pit
generally speaking, mining requires a certain amount of investment, such as buying mining machines, setting up systems, and paying electricity bills
or if you invest in a mine pool, this is a larger capital investment, but the probability of digging is greater
there are also those who buy cloud computing power to mine, and they also need to invest. They buy a certain amount of computing power on the platform, and then dig slowly
so if you want to invest in bitcoin, you want to weigh the capital and technical resources
there are risks in the coin circle, so you need to be cautious in investment
at present, bitcoin mining needs professional mining machines. Now bitcoin mining is a very professional thing. Retail mining has been graally eliminated, and bitcoin mining is graally mastered by several major mining machine manufacturers and owners
as long as the digital currency allows mining, it is OK to mine anywhere. As long as the network can be connected, mining generally uses ordinary computer or graphics card or professional ASIC mining machine
some digital currencies do not need to be mined, but are pre mined in advance, such as Ruitai, but Ruitai is a kind of asset mortgage certificate. Of course, most of the others need to be obtained through mining, such as Wright coin and thousand gold card mining.
Mining steps:
(1) Download bitcoin official client, click here to download bitcoin official client
(2) after installing the client, start the client, and the client will start to synchronize network data within 3 minutes after startup. Because bitcoin data is huge, it may take several hours (depending on network speed and computer performance). The picture shows the client synchronizing network data:
please make sure that your C disk has more than 10GB of free space. If the C disk is not enough, you need to set the data to D disk or e disk. Check the method of putting bitcoin packets to D disk
(3) if your client displays English and you are not good at English, You can set it to Chinese. Click here to see how to set the bitcoin client to Chinese.
(4) the client's synchronization of network data will not affect our mining. First, we get our account address and click the "collection address" button of the client. At this time, you will see a very long list of addresses, similar to your bitcoin account, The bitcoin account address is automatically generated and unique in the world
(5) your account is now 0.00 BTC, which means you don't have bitcoin yet, but you can start mining now. Download an easy-to-use mining software cgminer. Click here to download the bitcoin mining software cgminer (cgminer can dig bitcoin and most of the coins, But not all currency mining can use cgminer)
(6) you need to confirm your graphics card model, if it is NVIDIA graphics card, then you can directly mine, please skip this step. If it is an ATI graphics card, you need to install an AMD SDK package in addition to cgminer. Click here to download the AMD SDK installation package
(7) cgminer is an English interface, but it does not affect a rookie to use it. Please unzip the downloaded cgminer to anywhere on your computer, and then enter the cgminer folder
(8) in the cgminer folder, create a new text file (txt) and write the content code as:
cgminer - O http://pool.btc38.com : 9332 - U XXXXXX - P btc38
change the above XXXXXX to the account address of your BTC wallet (get your address according to section 4 of this tutorial), After filling in, it is shown in the figure:
Xiaobian has configured the mine pool and port for you in the above code (the mine pool is a completely free mine pool provided by bitage). If you want to use other mine pools and ports in the future, please modify the mine pool URL and port by yourself
(9) change the. TXT suffix of the newly created TXT text file to. Bat suffix (if you compare dishes, the suffix will not be displayed at the back of the text file and the file name suffix will not be changed, please click here). After modification, the file is as shown in the figure:
(10) then double-click the run.bat file above to start mining. For example, if you get 0.001 bitcoin, it will be stored in the BTC address you fill in. (because BTC mining is very difficult at this stage, you may have to wait for a whole day to get BTC revenue. When mining, there may be some cards on the computer screen, because most of the resources of the graphics card are occupied.). (11) you may also want to know how to understand the mining interface. The figure below mainly indicates your speed and status:
note: in fact, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large, and the output of bitcoin every 10 minutes is very limited, so mining is very difficult, If you have a powerful graphics card, there will be certain benefits. If your graphics card is not good, it may take you n hours to get a little bit of bitcoin. This tutorial is written by Xiaotian, editor of bitage (btc38. Com). The purpose is to let you get started and experience bitcoin. If you want to get better benefits through mining, You need to learn more about bitcoin pools and bitcoin mining strategies
4. Bitcoin mining pool
as mentioned above, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large, and the output of bitcoin every 10 minutes is very limited, resulting in the situation that tens of millions of people scramble for a block. Therefore, if you use personal computers to mine alone, you may not be able to grab a block in a whole year, People have come up with a team mining method. The so-called team mining is the mining pool that we are going to talk about now
the mine pool is a server designed through a specific algorithm. All users connected to the mine pool server will form a team to mine. Although the performance of personal computers is small, the overall performance of thousands of people will become very powerful. In this case, the success rate of mining will be greatly improved, Once the team in the mine successfully creates a block, then all the team members will pay dividends according to the performance of each person's computer. For example, 1000 people are mining in the same mine pool. After digging out a block, the reward of n bitcoins generated by the block will be distributed according to the computer performance of the 1000 people. If your computer performance is strong, it may get 1 in 100; if the performance is backward, it may get 1 in 10000
in this case, the developer of the mine pool will generally charge 1% ~ 3% of the fee for each user as a handling fee, but because this method makes it more stable for everyone to get bitcoin, almost everyone will choose to mine in the mine pool instead of mining alone
as mentioned in the mining tutorial above, the mine pool provided free of charge in the bit age adopts the P2P technology architecture and does not charge any fees to users. It is one of the mainstream mine pools. In addition, there are BTC guild and deepbit, which are also very popular. Although the design of each mine pool is not the same, but the use method is basically the same and simple, so this tutorial will not do further description, you can explore by yourself. Even though Xiaobian has configured the mine pool and port provided by bit era for you by default in the previous tutorial, in order to let you have a deeper understanding of the mine pool, here are several mainstream mine pools for you to choose:
bit mine pool (free, recommended by Xiaobian) | bitcoin.cz (suitable for novices) | BTC Guide (the oldest brand) | deepbit (stable and efficient) | f2pool (domestic)
Bitcoin mining machine is the computer used to earn bitcoin
mining software is the algorithm of bitcoin
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation
the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. 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
extended data:
bitcoin has the following six characteristics
1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, the whole network is composed of users, and there is no central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2. Worldwide circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6. Cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
