What is the miner on the platform now

Bitcoin mining machine is a kind of computer used to earn bitcoin. This kind of computer generally has professional mining chips and works in the way of burning graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. It is one of the ways to get bitcoin that users download software from personal computer and then run specific algorithm to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote server

mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment, and a competition of computing power among miners. Miners with more computing power are more likely to dig bitcoin. With the increase of computing power in the whole network, it is more and more difficult to dig bits with traditional devices (CPU, GPU). People have developed chips specially used for mining. Chip is the core part of mining machine. The process of chip operation will proce a lot of heat, in order to cool down, bitcoin miner is generally equipped with heat sink and fan

bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. Bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware. Miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by miners, so the competition for mining is very fierce

bitcoin mining started with low-cost hardware such as CPU or GPU, but with the popularity of bitcoin, the mining process has changed greatly. Nowadays, the mining activities are transferred to the field programmable gate array, and the hash speed can be achieved through optimization. The mining efficiency of this mode is very high

It's a scam. Many Internet enterprises and network security enterprises believe that illegal "mining" has become a serious network security problem

with the rise of "cloud mining", the virtual machine has become the main use object of digital currency such as Monroe coin and Eli coin, and the situation of embezzling cloud computing resources for "mining" has also increased significantly; Security team monitoring found that "competing for mining machine" has become one of the important purposes of Botnet expansion; And found a new type of "mining" virus (mining XmR / Monroe), the virus spread wildly in two months, illegal "mining" profits of nearly one million yuan

extended information:

from a commercial point of view, the business model of mining can walk out of a "healthy road". As long as the "incentive money" is lower than the average cost of new users in the market, the business model will be reasonable and feasible

however, if the platform tempts users to participate with "no capital, no profit", it is worth being vigilant. The so-called "mining" opportunity provided by the platform is likely to be "digging a good hole" waiting for you to jump in

Micro mining machine is a kind of mining machine, which is a computer used to earn bitcoin. This kind of computer generally has professional mining crystal, and works in the way of burning graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. One of the ways to get bitcoin is that users download software from personal computers and then run specific algorithms to communicate with remote servers to get the corresponding bitcoin

functions of mining machine:

mining machine is one of the ways to obtain bitcoin Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency proced by open source P2P software. It doesn't rely on a specific currency institution to issue, but is generated by a large number of calculations of a specific algorithm. It uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions economically

P2P can ensure that the currency cannot be manipulated by mass proction. Any computer can become a mining machine, but the profit will be relatively low, and there may not be one in ten years. Many companies have developed professional mining machines, which are equipped with special mining crystal. They are tens or hundreds of times higher than ordinary computers

types of mining machine:

1. CDN mining machine

with the emergence of Xunlei game cloud, a new mining machine, called CDN mining machine, appeared. This miner, because it doesn't need too strong performance, is just a router or TV box. Thunderplay cloud uses a unique consensus mechanism, not by contributing computing power, but by contributing network bandwidth and storage space

2. FPGA miner

FPGA miner, it is a hardware base plate, equivalent to a piece of white paper, what kind of function you want to achieve, write what kind of program to it. Compared with ASIC, the chip designed for specific purpose is much more flexible

3. Cloud miner

cloud miner is relative to local mining, which can be compared with the relationship between network disk and local hard disk. In short, you can use other people's mining machines remotely through the network instead of mining machines. It can be said to be a cloud application or a rental hosting service
