There is a big difference between the pool calculation and local
with the rising price of bitcoin, more and more people join the bitcoin mining business. Accordingly, mining consumes more and more energy. Obviously, our government is also aware of this
according to the requirements of the document, regulators require local governments to take measures related to electricity price, land use, tax and environmental protection to guide bitcoin miners to withdraw from the business. According to foreign media reports, regulatory authorities are mainly concerned about the money laundering and financial risks involved in the shutdown policy, but excessive power consumption is also a factor that can not be ignored. In principle, bitcoin mining consumes a lot of power because every time a new bitcoin is proced, it needs to solve the complex mathematical problems through the encryption process performed by a high-performance computer. Mining calculation process is used to verify bitcoin transactions in the blockchain to ensure security, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy.
this is mainly e to the 51% attack, because before some of the world's well-known mines, e to the low rate and convenient use, many miners went to those large mines to mine. As a result, the computing power of the mines soared, approaching or even exceeding 51% of the global computing power many times
bitcoin community has also raised a big discussion about 51% attack for many times,. The mine pool operators also called on the miners to move to other mines in a responsible manner, and finally 51% of the attacks were solved. Many of China's miners have moved to fish ponds
most of the new miners have joined the fish pond because they don't know about the global mine ponds, and many of the previous mines have died e to poor management
Mine pool refers to:
as the computing level of the whole bitcoin network continues to rise exponentially, a single device or a small amount of computing power can not get the block reward provided by the bitcoin network on the bitcoin network
after the computing power of the whole network has been improved to a certain extent, the low probability of getting rewards has prompted some geeks on "bitcoin talk" to develop a method that can combine a small amount of computing power and operate jointly, and the website established in this way is called "mine pool"
extended data:
the existence of the mine pool reces the difficulty of bitcoin and other virtual digital currency mining, reces the mining threshold, and truly realizes the bitcoin mining concept that everyone can participate in
but its disadvantages are also very obvious, because computing power is connected to the mine pool. As a mine pool, it will have huge computing power resources. In the bitcoin world, computing power represents the bookkeeping right, and computing power is everything. If the computing power of a single mine pool reaches more than 50%, it will be easy to launch 51% attacks against virtual digital currencies such as bitcoin, The consequences are very terrible:
the mine pool can make the mine pool with 49% of the remaining computing power have no harvest, instantly quit the competition and go bankrupt. The mine pool's computing power exceeds 50%. If 51% attack is launched, it will easily occupy all the effective computing power of the whole network
ranking of the account balance (currency holding) of the global ore pool Alliance (multiple accounts may have the same name, but the next place will jump and grow synchronously, as the weight of this part of the issue)
PPLNs: (the purest Group Mining) full name is pay per last n shares, which means "pay income according to the past n shares", which means that once all miners find a block, You will allocate the currency in the block according to the proportion of each person's own shares Share means share)
in PPLNs mode, luck is very important. If the mine pool can find many blocks in a day, then everyone's dividend will be very large. If the mine pool can't find any blocks in a day, then everyone will have no income
PPS: pay per share mode --- this mode is to pay for each share immediately. The expenditure comes from the existing bitcoin funds in the mine pool, so it can be withdrawn immediately without waiting for the block generation or confirmation. In this way, the operation behind the scenes of the pool operators can be avoided. This method reces the risk of miners, but transfers the risk to the pool operator. Operators can charge fees to make up for the possible losses caused by these risks
in order to solve the problem that PPLNs sometimes has a high profit and sometimes has no profit, PPS adopts a new algorithm. PPS estimates the daily available mineral resources of the mine pool according to the proportion of your computing power in the mine pool, and gives you basically fixed income every day
do you feel that this is a stable job? In fact, in order to avoid the risk of loss, the PPS model often charges a high handling charge of 7% - 8%< DGM: Double geometric method. It combines PPLNs and geometric reward type, so that the pool operator can avoid part of the risk. The pool operator will collect part of the excavated currency in a short time, and then return it to the miners with normalized value, such as charge and discharge of electric capacity. If you are lucky, you will get less money for each block and more money for poor luck
175btc: the mining node of 175btc works on a shares chain similar to bitcoin blockchain. Because there is no center, it will not be attacked by DOS. Unlike other existing mine pool technologies, each node's working block includes bitcoin paid to the owner of shares in the early stage and the node's own bitcoin. 99% of the reward (50btc + transaction cost) will be distributed equally to miners, and the other 0.5% will be awarded to those who generate blocks
