Computing power of computer bitcoin
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
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
1) bitcoin trading is not to buy the computing power of other people's computers. It's just like stock trading, buying bitcoin through RMB. Now bitcoin trading is also an investment. Let other people's computers serve you, that is, when others choose to mine, when you are a miner, you need a third party to confirm and record bitcoin transactions. This is the miner's confirmation of your transaction by running the bitcoin algorithm. Then help you record the transaction in the data block and keep it in the P2P network
2) bitcoin itself has no value, just like RMB. But its value comes from the mathematical framework, P2P network characteristics and people's confidence in bitcoin, which represents the future direction of financial development. So you have value
the total number of bitcoin is 21 million, which avoids inflation. People believe that bitcoin will appreciate in the future, so they rush to buy it.
At present, if the computer is on 24 hours, it will take about three months to dig a bitcoin. In other words, a computer can dig up to a third of bitcoin a month
bitcoin is the most popular virtual internet currency in the world, and it can also buy a lot of things now. This kind of virtual currency can be obtained through the function of mining machine
first of all, your computer should have installed the latest version of bitcoin client. After opening the client, it will automatically download all the transaction information data on the network to the local. According to the different network speeds, this process may take several hours. At this time, your account balance is 0, you can let friends send some money, but there are two more feasible ways: one is to do business, the other is to do mining. Many domestic users choose the second way, that is to do mining. More and more people are willing to work as miners themselves and let their computers proce bitcoin! It sounds tempting - just one computer can make money! The bitcoin g up by yourself as a miner can be converted into real RMB at bitcoin China trading platform
now the threshold is higher than before. It's better to need professional computers. The difficulty of bitcoin mining is directly proportional to the amount of money that has been mined. The more difficult it is to mine, the more difficult it will be. After 20 million bitcoins are mined out in 2030, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined out. At present, if the computer is on 24 hours, it will take about three months to dig a bitcoin
ordinary computer mining was used in the early days of the birth of bitcoin. At that time, the price of bitcoin was low and there were few people playing it, mainly gamers and geeks. At that time, the computing power was very low and no special mining equipment was needed
but in 2012, the price of bitcoin began to rise sharply. Driven by the interests, people began to look for faster mining equipment. At this time, people found that the mining speed of graphics card was relatively fast, and people began to use graphics card for bitcoin mining. This stage is commonly known as "burning graphics card" mining
at the end of 2012, people began to find that the special ASIC miner had faster mining speed. In early 2013, pumpkin Zhang developed the world's first ASIC bitcoin miner. Since then, bitcoin mining has been completely subverted
in the following period of time, under the expulsion of interests, more mining machine manufacturers joined in the proction and development of bitcoin mining machines, the whole network computing power began to soar, and the updating speed of mining machines accelerated. At present, bitcoin mining is almost close to the cost price, or even higher than the cost price. Mining is about energy consumption and electricity price. Avalon's fourth generation 28nm chip has some advantages in energy consumption.
