The reason why the calculation power of mining graphics card is
"Graphics card mining" is actually to use the graphics card to dig bitcoin, so that the graphics card can work with high load, and the eliminated ones will become mine cards. Generally, the core PC board on the back of mine cards is seriously discolored< br />
In short, mining is the use of chips for a random number related calculation, get the answer in exchange for a virtual currency. Virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer
In his paper, Nakamoto stated:"in the absence of central authority, it not only encourages miners to support bitcoin network, but also enables bitcoin's currency circulation system to have the initial source of money injection."
Nakamoto compares the generation of bitcoin by consuming CPU power and time to the consumption of resources by gold mines to inject gold into the economy. Bitcoin mining and node software mainly initiates zero knowledge proof and verification transactions through peer-to-peer network, digital signature and interactive proof system
each network node concts broadcast transactions to the network. After these broadcast transactions are verified by miners (computers on the network), miners can use their own work proof results to express their confirmation. The confirmed transactions will be packaged into data blocks, and the data blocks will form a continuous data block chain
Nakamoto himself designed the first version of bitcoin mining program, which was later developed into the first generation of widely used mining software bitcoin, which was popular from 2009 to mid-2010
each bitcoin node will collect all the unconfirmed transactions and gather them into a data block. The miner node will add a random adjustment number and calculate the SHA-256 hash value of the previous data block. The mining node tries again and again until it finds the random adjustment number so that the hash value is lower than a specific target
extended data
at the earliest, bitcoin miners were mining through Intel or AMD CPU procts. But because mining is a computing intensive application, and with the continuous improvement of mining number and equipment performance, the difficulty graally increases, now using CPU mining has no profit or even loss
as of 2012, since the first quarter of 2013, miners graally began to use GPU or FPGA and other mining equipment [5]. At the same time, a large number of ASIC devices were launched in mid 2013
since July 2013, the computing power of the whole network has shown a straight-line rise e to the large number of ASIC equipment put into operation. Based on the average computing power in July 2013, all CPU mining equipment has been unable to generate positive revenue, and FPGA equipment is close to no revenue
according to the estimation of average computing power in September 2013, the existing small ASIC mining equipment developed for indivials will also be close to no positive revenue in the next 1-2 months. A large amount of computing power is monopolized by cluster ASIC mining equipment with 5 th ash / s or more. Because of no profit, indivial mining is almost squeezed out of mining groups. Some bitcoin miners have raised funds to build machine rooms and install a large number of mining equipment in places where low-cost electricity can be obtained
in order to save the cost of mining, some bitcoin miners make mining programs into malicious programs to infect other people's computers on the network to mine for themselves
Bitcoin was obtained by CPU in the early days. With the continuous development of GPU speed and the emerging advantages of GPU general computing, miners graally began to use GPU instead of CPU for mining. Bitcoin mining uses SHA-256 hash operation, which will carry out a large number of 32-bit integer cyclic right shift operation. Interestingly, this algorithm operation can be implemented by a single hardware instruction in AMD GPU, while it needs three hardware instructions to simulate in NVIDIA GPU. This one alone brings an additional 1.7 times of computing efficiency advantage for AMD GPU. With this advantage, amd GPU is favored by the majority of miners
advise the landlord not to dig up if the budget is not too much!!! This money is not earned if you want to
the difficulty of bitcoin is increasing. Mining with graphics card is a race against time. The main reason is that the difficulty of mining bitcoin is graally increasing (the reason of bitcoin algorithm design). If a set of platforms can get 1 bitcoin per day according to the current difficulty, then in one month, the platforms with the same computing power will only get 0.8 bitcoins, even the top graphics cards will get 18.2 days (which can't be shut down), and the lowest second-hand hd7750 will need more than 400 (it will take 214 days to get one). Just look at this figure (this is the data in May this year, Now it's more than 18 days)
people can earn money by buying several mining machines (mining machines with dozens of top graphics cards piled together)
I hope I can help you
what kind of computing power is it? Mining, video coding, or game rendering
as a low-end game graphics card, how can its computing power in game rendering be zero
it's impossible to think about it with your toes or buttocks.
mining is actually using a special customized computer to run a set of special algorithms to decrypt the encryption algorithm of virtual currency For example, this currency has a series of codes. People "guess" the code through the algorithm. If they guess all the codes correctly, they can get a complete virtual currency. If they guess one point correctly, they can get a part of it, such as "0.00035637 bitcoins". Yes, virtual currency can be divided. It is not possible to dig a complete bitcoin at one time. The bitcoin g is a string of characters.)
the reason for mining with graphics card is that the algorithm of decrypting bitcoin is actually very simple, which is not a high-level operation, but it has a lot of amount, and the graphics chip is more suitable for this than the CPU chip For example, 1 + 1 =? 2+2= This kind of algorithm seems simple to you, but if I tell you this kind of simple algorithm, there are 100 million in total?! Would you like to try to figure it out? I believe you can figure it out, but it's just a long time)
(CPU chips and graphics chips have a huge number of transistors, which are responsible for computing. The difference is that the transistors of CPU chips are divided into many parts, which can deal with all kinds of task instructions. When running simple operations, only a part of the transistors are working, The others are on standby, because other transistors are not responsible for this task. They can calculate, even if they are relatively slow, but they will still consume the same power, resulting in a low cost-effectiveness ratio.
(graphics chips are different. In fact, most of their work is "crazy rendering triangles". What's a crazy method? Render 1 billion triangles in one second!!! This work is relatively simple, but the amount is very large, and there is a high requirement for the speed of "rendering", so the graphics chip can make its transistors all move when it is designed, so as to achieve the purpose of "rendering" more triangles in the shortest time! This happens to be very similar to the process of decrypting bitcoin, so most of them use graphics cards to mine. This doesn't mean that CPU can't mine. People can mine with their heads. Do you believe it? It's just very slow, and the value of the bitcoin is not enough to pay for your electricity and meals)
mining can't "lie down and make money", because a qualified miner's price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands according to its computing power. Because it consumes a lot of electricity, the cost of mining is not only to buy a miner, but also to include the electricity! Moreover, the mining machine needs good heat dissipation and daily maintenance to extend the life of the hardware as much as possible, so if you dig the mine, you will not have much leisure. In addition, the number of virtual currencies is limited, it is more and more difficult to dig, and the stability of the value is poor. Maybe you invest 10 million yuan to build a mine, and a wave of collapse will occur. You have been frozen for 10 million minutes

3. If the driver of this version can not be used normally, you need to contact the official technician to provide the driver file for re installation.
Virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point and voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver grain (used for bixue Qingtian game), and popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Laite coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, etc Barbecue coins, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bars, red coins, prime coins. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum" is popular in the circle
network virtual currency can be roughly divided into
[1] the first category is familiar game currency. In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, and using these to buy Herbs and equipment, but it can only be used in his own game console. At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the establishment of Internet portal and community, the realization of game networking, virtual currency has a "financial market", players can trade game currency
[2] the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services
[3] the third kind of virtual currency on the Internet, such as bitcoin (BTC), lightmoney (LTC), etc. bitcoin is an electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. Some people also translate bitcoin as "bitcoin", which is a kind of network virtual currency. It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new currency
[4] the application of computer communication technology and the development of Internet as a new media are the technical basis of network marketing. Internet was born in the 1960s. With the development of network protocols and related hardware and software procts, Internet has graally changed from military to commercial and civil. From the 1990s, the Internet has graally entered into the daily life of society. As a matter of fact, the Internet, as an emerging media, has developed faster than all other technologies in the past. It took 38 years for radio to reach 50 million audiences, 13 years for television, and only 3-4 years for Internet. Therefore, the Internet is considered to be the technological change that has the greatest impact on the world economy in the past 100 years
