Filecoin and Ethereum

1. Miner's moisture is relatively large, the main network code has not been finalized, miner will be determined first. Maybe after the main network goes online, we can't find money. There are also some supercomputing versions on the market, which can be understood as mining machines with a lot more than the normal configuration. This is a good way to deal with the total code changes of filecoin. But certainly not the most cost-effective mining machine. Make a good investigation and wait for you to test in the pit and Yuanli mine.

2.

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

The ASIC mining machine of

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

3. Filecoin is the project with the shortest time and the largest amount of private placement in the history of blockchain. It can make both short-term investment and long-term investment. In contrast, the ecell coin is also good (celletf. IO). ECall is the erc20 token realized through the Ethereum network smart contract. It adopts the block chain technology. All the transaction processes on the chain need the approval of each node in the network, and the whole process is transparent and open.

4. Who can't boast
IPFs is a basic technology, which can also be used in other projects. What you call IPFs is actually filecoin, which is the incentive layer of IPFs
it's all 2020. Filecoin has not been on the main network yet. Many opportunities have been missed for this efficiency.

5. The main differences are: IPFs is the underlying protocol of distributed storage, similar to http; Filecoin is a distributed storage network constructed by IPFs and blockchain technology.

6. IPF is closely symbiotic with filecoin
IPFs is used to locate and transmit data and exists as infrastructure; Filecoin is the economic incentive system of IPFs
without filecoin, IPFs is difficult to start and work; The continuous development of IPFs provides an important basic support for filecoin, and the popularity of IPFs will affect the market's demand for more secure and efficient distributed storage filecoin
mining machine is the machine that you get filecoin, IPFs is a technology, and what we call mining is actually the incentive layer of this technology, which is filecoin.

7. The only similarity between the two should be that they are both virtual coins. The difference is that in terms of generation mode and energy consumption, filecoin does not need large-scale operation and consumes less energy, while bitcoin needs large-scale machine operation and consumes huge energy.

8. Of course, it has something to do with it. The future cloud nodes of four technologies, namely distributed storage devices, are mainly used to obtain the reward filecoin token of IPFs.
