IPFs can't buy or sell power
has two main advantages compared with windows
(1) stable system: for example, it is very common for a host with Linux to run continuously for more than one year without downtime or shutdown. My windows system turned on black screen this morning, and then recovered after forced shutdown
(2) fast repair of security and vulnerability: Linux is used by many computer experts, so there are many maintainers, and the update and maintenance is fast, while windows is used by everyone, and it is not open source
therefore, the core system of mining machine is Linux. At present, more than 95% of the global server market choose Linux, which has been verified for a long time, and windows is not recommended as the operating system< The second key point of mining machine is: hard disk
(1) the number of hard disk bits
IPFs is storage mining, and the mining benefit is directly proportional to the size of storage capacity, so if you want to dig more money, you have to have more hard disk bits, and the mining machine with 16 disks and 24 disks is preferred
(2) hard disk installation
if you need to shut down every time you increase or decrease the hard disk, you may not get enough money to be punished and dected. IPFs mining machine needs to work stably, so it must support hot plug
(3) hard disk compatibility
supports the mixed insertion of different brands and capacities of hard disks, which can be collocated at will according to their own needs. Only by making full use of the capacity of hard disks can we maximize the revenue
the third key point of mining machine: CPU, motherboard
CPU and motherboard should be able to point out the actual working situation of multiple hard disks, and the hardware collocation should be reasonable. For example, the configuration can only support 4T multiple hard disks. If multiple 8t hard disks are inserted, it will lead to a small horse pulling a cart, causing a crash and burning the hard disk, motherboard, CPU, etc. Therefore, the hardware configuration should be rendant, and about 8t hard disk storage space should be reserved< Key points of Miner: built in mining software
the performance of built-in mining software is better, otherwise the miner's mining situation can't be well connected with the main chain, and the main chain can't read the miner's work well, resulting in data loss and mapping data error. For example, if you save 20t and the main chain only reads 10t, you will lose the reward of storing 10t. So the software R & D team must have strength. With the upgrading of technology and the analysis of mining data, software system is also needed to ensure or improve the mining efficiency.
IPFs is a file transfer protocol similar to http. If IPFs wants to run, it needs many computers (storage devices) in the network as nodes. In a broad sense, all participating computers can be called IPFs mining machines
in order to attract more users to join the IPFs network and contribute to the network, an encryption currency named filecoin is designed, which is distributed to the participants (nodes) as a reward according to the amount of contributed storage space and bandwidth. In a narrow sense, the computer specially designed for the purpose of obtaining the filecoin reward is called IPFs mining machine
because IPFs network needs storage space and network bandwidth, in order to obtain the highest profit ratio, IPFs mining machine usually strengthens the storage space and reces the power consumption of the whole machine. For example, more than 10 high-capacity hard disks are equipped, Gigabit or higher speed network cards are equipped, and ultra-low power architecture processors are used
of course, the mining machine provides storage services, so it can obtain revenue. The size of revenue is related to the configuration of mining machinery and the number of IPFs mining machinery
extended data
the reasons why it is not recommended to invest in IPFs are as follows:
1. IPFs technology is too early to be commercialized
IPFs now takes up a lot of bandwidth. IPNs is very slow at present, which is an obvious technical defect. It will be very difficult to realize dynamic web pages only through IPFs
There is no reasonable economic model, even if the token economy is added, it is difficult to realize the long-term natural ecological valueas a very cumbersome decentralized protocol, it is difficult for users to share files autonomously and spontaneously. In addition, even if users share files into the protocol, the files will be completely open and users cannot delete files effectively, so the security of valid files is threatened
the solution is to introce encryption and blockchain incentive mechanism. At the same time, it solves the security and storage power problems of files. However, as mentioned before, any node with workload proof under blockchain incentive mechanism will face an economic problem of continuous power on state
It is difficult to establish an ecological network with IPFs as the core under the influence of technical problems The ecological application space ofIPFs is quite limited, and the project interaction speed realized by IPFs protocol is also very slow. Of course, it has a direct relationship with the number of nodes and the distance of calling
