How small is BTC's first mining award in 2009
at present, the computing power of bitcoin in the whole network has reached 2.36 billion hash collisions per second, which is equivalent to the number of water droplets in more than 200000 50 meter long standard swimming pools. But even with such a large amount of computing power, it will take about 10 minutes to hit a hash value that meets the requirements
in 2012, bitcoin's output was halved for the first time, and in July 2016, bitcoin's output was halved for the second time. At present, 12.5 bitcoins are awarded for recording one page of account book. The next halving will take place around 2020, and the total number of bitcoins will not increase by 2040, with a total of 21 million. In other words, the difficulty of digging bitcoin is increasing, while the time required is increasing
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
to sum up, there are two simple points: first, the golden age of bitcoin mining has already passed, especially for indivials who are absent from work. It's hard to make up for the electricity charges of those who only have losses but no profits. Unless you have a unit dedicated computer for you to use, 24-hour power on non-stop digging. But this is still a loss, just unit for you to pay the cost, you take advantage of the unit
the second is configuration. Your configuration is too poor. Now mining is basically done with high-end a cards. It's necessary to connect several top graphics cards in parallel, such as 7970. You don't know how many generations behind. People don't necessarily earn money by digging with top-level cards, not to mention your one.
On January 3, 2009, the first batch of 50 bitcoins were g up on a small server in Finland. On May 21, 2010, the first bitcoin transaction: programmer Laszlo hanyecz bought a $25 pizza coupon with 10000 BTC. This transaction gave birth to the first fair exchange rate of bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto, a self styled Japanese American, is often translated by Japanese media as the founder of bitcoin protocol and its related software bitcoin QT, but his real identity is unknown. In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper called "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system", which describes an electronic currency and its algorithm called "bitcoin"
In 2009, he released the first bitcoin software and officially launched the bitcoin financial system. In 2010, he graally faded out and handed over the project to other members of the bitcoin community. Nakamoto is believed to hold about one million bitcoins. These bitcoins were worth more than $1 billion at the end of 2013since the publication of the paper, the real identity of Nakamoto has long been unknown to the outside world. Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, claims that Nakamoto is a cypherpunk. In addition, some people said that "Nakamoto is an anarchist. His original intention is not to control digital cryptocurrency by a certain government or central bank, but to become a global free flowing currency that is not regulated and controlled by the government."

on November 1, 2008, Nakamoto published a paper entitled "bitcoin: a point-to-point e-cash system" in the cryptography mailing list of "metzdowd. Com". This paper describes in detail how to create a decentralized electronic trading system, and this system does not need to be built on the basis of mutual trust between the two parties. Soon, on January 3, 2009, he developed the first client program to implement the bitcoin algorithm, concted the first "mining" and obtained the first batch of 50 bitcoins. This also marks the formal birth of bitcoin financial system
on December 5, 2010, ring the WikiLeaks leak of US diplomatic cables, the bitcoin community appealed to WikiLeaks to accept bitcoin donations to break the financial blockade. Nakamoto expressed his firm opposition, saying that bitcoin is still in its infancy and cannot afford conflicts and disputes. Seven days later, on December 12, he published his last article in the bitcoin forum, mentioning some minor problems in the latest version of the software. Then he did not show up and e-mail communication was graally terminated
now it's very difficult to download the program from the official website and do it yourself, but it may take several years. The second way is to buy it. Now it's about 18 dollars, less than 100 yuan. Mt.gox, bitcoin's largest trading website. On the official website of bitcoin, there is a paper by Nakamoto Tsung, which details the technical principles of bitcoin. In short, bitcoin is based on a set of cipher codes and generated by complex algorithms; Anyone can download and run bitcoin software to participate in the proction of bitcoin; Bitcoin uses electronic signature to realize circulation, and checks repeated consumption through P2P network
by 2140, the total number of bitcoins was 21 million. I suggest you buy it
if you still don't understand, it's suggested to search in the search engine: laoan, or Duan Hongbin, who has many blogs and is easy to find, and also has QQ. Add friends and let him give you< In 2009, a mysterious hacker named Satoshi nakomoto first proposed the concept of bitcoin, and described a method of using computer networks to create an unmanaged "secret currency". Unlike other virtual currencies, bitcoin is not issued by a company or a central bank, nor linked to any real currency, but can be used to buy goods and services in the real world. In essence, it can be seen as a small string of encrypted code quickly transmitted and stored in the electronic wallet on the Internet
just as the P2P networks such as Napster and Skype have made the record instry and telephone instry in chaos, bitcoin, which challenges the modern monetary and financial science, is also based on P2P, which is the same as the BT download technology we commonly use. The advantage of P2P is to ensure that no institution can manipulate the value of bitcoin or increase the supply to create inflation. In a huge P2P network, bitcoin has a special algorithm, which proces about 300 bitcoins per hour. The output is automatically adjusted by the network. Because you can't control most of the network nodes, you can't modify the algorithm of each user to speed up the money proction
figuratively speaking, bitcoin is "mined" by computers all over the world. If you want to get bitcoin, you just need to install mining software, and your computer will start to do a lot of calculations, which is mining
no matter which computer is used to mine, it is easy to get 50 bitcoins in the early days of bitcoin. As early as January this year, 50 bitcoin was not worth $15, but on June 9, a bitcoin was worth as much as $29.55. If you trade them, you can get back $1500 of real gold and silver. Now, however, mining requires high-performance computers, and some developers involved say that it is estimated that an ordinary laptop will work for five years to get a bitcoin.
a block is a record in the block chain, which contains and confirms the transactions to be processed. On average, a new block containing transactions is added to the block chain by mining every 10 minutes
