10 Suanli one day mining Ethereum

Graphics cards can't dig out bitcoin right now. Your calculation power is the calculation power of Ethereum. The calculation method is also wrong

21.5 * 3600 seconds * 24 hours = 1857600 M / day
1857600 / 1024 / 1024 = 1.7715 T / day
a t of computing power / day can dig bitcoin worth 4.03 yuan
1.7715 * 4.03 = 7.14 yuan / day

since 2017, bitcoin has reached new heights. Yesterday (May 23), the value of bitcoin broke through the ￥ 16000 mark, hyping virtual currency, becoming a matter that the general public can participate in, And a little bit of technical level, both fried money, but also began to have the technical content of mining

as we all know, virtual currency has a numerical peak, the more difficult it is to dig. In fact, it's hard to judge whether to lose money or not if we continue to dig. Therefore, in the end how to dig, dig what can be the fastest back to this, this paper studies the above two core issues based on the current market situation

Bitcoin uses SHA-256 encryption algorithm. When mining, it competes with computing power. In order to improve computing power, bitcoin has gone through four stages: CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining and now ASIC mining machine mining, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher

Ethereum uses the ethash encryption algorithm. In the process of mining, it needs to read the memory and store the DAG file. Because the bandwidth of each read memory is limited, and the existing computer technology is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough in this problem, so no matter how to improve the computing efficiency of the computer, the memory read efficiency will not be greatly improved. Therefore, in a sense, Ethereum's ethash encryption algorithm is ASIC resistant.

different encryption algorithms lead to great differences in mining equipment and computing power between bitcoin and Ethereum

at present, bitcoin mining equipment is mainly ASIC mining machine with a very high degree of specialization. The maximum computing power of a single mining machine is 110t / s, and the scale of computing power of the whole network is more than 120eh / s

the main mining equipment of Ethereum is video card miner, and there are very few specialized ASIC miner. On the one hand, the "ASIC resistance" of Ethereum mining algorithm improves the threshold of developing ASIC miner. On the other hand, after Ethereum is upgraded to 2.0, the consensus mechanism will be transformed into POS, and the miner can not continue mining

compared with the ASIC miner, the graphics card miner has two orders of magnitude difference in computing power. At present, the computing power of mainstream graphics card miner (8 cards) is about 420mh / s, and that of Ethereum is about 230th / s.

from the time dimension of the past two years, bitcoin's computing power of the whole network is growing rapidly, while Ethereum's computing power of the whole network is growing relatively slowly

bitcoin is monopolized by several major mining machine manufacturers, and miners can only buy it from the market; Although the graphics card miner of Ethereum is also manufactured by a special miner, the miner can buy accessories from the market and assemble them according to his own demand
