Where is the hdpool
Mine pool refers to:
as the computing level of the whole bitcoin network continues to rise exponentially, a single device or a small amount of computing power can not get the block reward provided by the bitcoin network on the bitcoin network
after the computing power of the whole network has been improved to a certain extent, the low probability of getting rewards has prompted some geeks on "bitcoin talk" to develop a method that can combine a small amount of computing power and operate jointly, and the website established in this way is called "mine pool"
extended data:
the existence of the mine pool reces the difficulty of bitcoin and other virtual digital currency mining, reces the mining threshold, and truly realizes the bitcoin mining concept that everyone can participate in
but its disadvantages are also very obvious, because computing power is connected to the mine pool. As a mine pool, it will have huge computing power resources. In the bitcoin world, computing power represents the bookkeeping right, and computing power is everything. If the computing power of a single mine pool reaches more than 50%, it will be easy to launch 51% attacks against virtual digital currencies such as bitcoin, The consequences are very terrible:
the mine pool can make the mine pool with 49% of the remaining computing power have no harvest, instantly quit the competition and go bankrupt. The mine pool's computing power exceeds 50%. If 51% attack is launched, it will easily occupy all the effective computing power of the whole network
After the computing power of the whole network has been improved to a certain extent, the probability of getting rewards is too low, so that some geeks on "bitcoin talk" can develop a method that can combine a small amount of computing power and operate jointly, and use this method to build websites
in this mechanism, no matter how much computing power an indivial miner can use, as long as he participates in mining activities by joining the mine pool, no matter whether he has successfully mined effective data blocks, he can get a small amount of bitcoin reward through his contribution to the mine pool, that is to say, many people cooperate in mining, and the bitcoin reward is shared by many people according to their contribution
as of January 2019, the top five bitcoin pools in global computing power are btc.com, pool, antpool, flush pool, and f2pool. At present, about 70% of global computing power is in the hands of Chinese miners
extended data:
handling charge:
bitcoin miners will charge a small amount of fees for most transactions, the main purpose of which is to prevent people from sending a large number of boring small transactions and wasting network resources. At present, most of the handling charges for each transaction are & T 3647; 0.0001/kb (0.0001btc / KB). In fact, after 0.9.0, the default handling charge will be reced to & 3647; 0.00001/KB(0.00001 btc/KB)
because the amount of data occupied by most transactions is less than 1 kilobyte, generally speaking, the amount of data is less than 3647; 0.00001 (0.00001 BTC / KB) is enough. At the same time, in the future, when the bitcoin block rewards are less, the service charge will become the main source of miners' income, and the service charge of bitcoin will be related to the number of bytes occupied by the transaction
at present, the calculation standard of service charge in bitcoin system is not mandatory, so users can not give any service charge when the transaction is in progress
however, most miners usually give priority to the transaction with higher handling charges when building data blocks, so that they can get higher remuneration when mining is successful. Therefore, the transaction without any handling charges may take a long time to be processed and incorporated into the blockchain
in addition, e to the block capacity limit of 1MB and the recent increase in bitcoin transaction volume, the handling charges have increased significantly, and the waiting time for the transaction to be confirmed has also become much longer
Mining is perhaps one of the most important components of the bitcoin ecosystem. Miners need to solve complex mathematical problems, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the transaction. These problems are so complex that they are difficult to solve even for extremely powerful computers. Computers need work and luck to solve these mathematical problems, just as miners dig underground. The chance of solving this problem correctly is about one in 13 trillion
bitcoin mining has two purposes. Firstly, by solving mathematical problems, bitcoin miners can verify the transaction information, so as to ensure the security and reliability of bitcoin payment network. Miners are the people who ensure that transactions are accurate and that there is no "double payment."
Secondly, when the computer solves these complex mathematical problems on the bitcoin network, the system will generate new bitcoin, which is similar to the process of mining gold from the ground. The reward is called "block reward", and after the event called "halving", its amount will be periodically halved. The newly discovered concept of bitcoin is an important part of bitcoin protocol. The bitcoin obtained by the miners is brand new and has never been in circulation beforesince miners will eventually sell the bitcoin, it is also an important source of supply and liquidity. As chainalysis reports, many digital currency exchanges rely on miners to receive bitcoin and increase their liquidity. Typically, exchanges get about 88% of bitcoin from other exchanges, and bitcoin miners are the largest source of the remaining percentage. As you can imagine, there is fierce competition between exchanges to receive bitcoin directly from miners
further enlarge the map, most of the mining activities are only carried out in four provinces, the first two provinces are Xinjiang and Sichuan, accounting for nearly half of all bitcoin mining in China. Electricity prices are cheap and the weather is cold in these areas. This helps to keep mining profits and equipment cool ring the 24 / 7 operation and maintenance period of bitcoin mining
but this is nothing new for digital currency issuance. For many years, China has been a major market for bitcoin miners e to its cheap electricity and abundant resources. Bitmain, f2pool and Canaan are all located in China
whether this is a negative or positive message depends on your point of view. But for decentralized, distributed, unlicensed networks, geographic regions across multiple entities are more healthy for the entire ecosystem
how to mine a mine pool
the location of a mine pool is also very particular. It's not that a mine pool can be built anywhere, but it needs early-stage capital investment. A mine pool is to combine a single mining machine together. Because of the collection of many miners' computing power, the computing power of the mine pool accounts for a large proportion, and the probability of digging bitcoin is higher. The mine pool will distribute rewards according to the contribution value of each equipment
there are many mines all over the world, and the scale of each mine varies from big to small. Generally, small mines no longer have great advantages. Large mines have many miners for mining. For each miner, he can join any mine or join multiple mines at the same time, The first task of the mine pool is to distribute the income to the miners
(1) PPLNs method
this method gathers the shares g by all miners together. Whenever a certain amount of shares is accumulated (generally 30 million shares), the mine pool will allocate the profits of the previous stage to the miners according to the proportion of contribution
in this way, the income of miners depends entirely on the time needed to dig 30 million shares in the mine pool. If you are lucky, you can dig them in a short time, then the income of miners will be more, otherwise it will be less. In return, the pool charges a 3% tax
(2) PPS mode
for users, the income of this mode is relatively stable
the profit mainly depends on the miner's mining speed. As long as the mining speed is stable, the corresponding profit can be obtained, and the profit is real-time, that is, the mine pool will pay the profit for the miner while the miner is running
obviously, every time a block is calculated, the mine pool has paid for all the miners. If the block fails in the subsequent confirmation link, all the losses will be paid by the pool operator. Therefore, this method reces the risk of the miners, but transfers the risk to the pool operator
therefore, usually the ore pool can charge a handling fee to make up for the possible losses caused by these risks. In this mode, the tax of the ore pool is 7.5%
the above is about how to mine. The difficulty of mining has greatly increased, but the mining army is expanding. If the basic equipment does not meet the standard, it will be difficult to gain in the mining instry, because the value of the virtual currency may not be equal to the price of an equipment, and many miners are not just digging bitcoin, Instead, we choose other virtual currencies to mine.
you may have to dig for 5 years to get a block. Team mining is that once anyone in the team gets a block, they will divide the currency in the block according to their performance, so that they can get bitcoin quickly.
its speculative value is far greater than the mining value
participation is not recommended.
the mining pool is the necessary infrastructure for the exploitation of P2P cryptography virtual currency such as bitcoin (digital currency). It is generally an open team mining server. Its significance is to improve the stability of bitcoin mining and stabilize the miners' salary. At present, the most powerful mining pools in the world are f2pool, antpool, BW pool, BTCC pool and bitfury. Except for bitfury, the rest are from China
with more and more people participating in mining, the computing power of bitcoin network is rising, and it is difficult for a single device or a small amount of computing power to dig bitcoin again. At this time, the mine pool was born
operation principle of bitcoin mine pool
the ore pool is responsible for information packaging, and the access mine is responsible for competing for bookkeeping rights
e to the collection of the computing power of many miners, the computing power of the mine pool accounts for a large proportion, and the probability of digging bitcoin is higher
for example
suppose 1 million people participate in bitcoin mining, and the whole network has 400p computing power, of which 90% of the miners have less than 1p (1000t) computing power. If a 1t miner is put into operation, it will account for 1.400000 of the whole network's computing power. Theoretically, every 400000 10 minutes can dig a block, that is, only 7.6 years can dig a block, and then get 50 bitcoins at a time
then, if I find another 9 miners with 1t dynamometer and reach an agreement, we will have a total of 10 people, and any one of them will be divided equally according to the proportion of each person's computing power, then we are a whole. With a total of 10t computing power, we can dig a block in 0.76 years on average, Then we have five bitcoins mined in 0.76 years. What if we organize 100 people, 1000 people, 10000 people or even 100000 people
if it is 100000 people, I can dig one block in 100 minutes on average. As a member of the team, my income will tend to be stable
this is the basic principle of the mine pool, that is, everyone forms a team to mine bitcoin, you can refer to the "buy together" in the lottery
of course, the above is only a simple description of the basic principles and properties of the ore pool, and the actual situation will be very complicated
the ore pool is a fully automatic mining platform, that is, the ore machine is connected to the ore pool to provide computing power and obtain profits
the bitcoin reward generated by mining in the mine pool will be distributed according to the proportion of each miner's contribution to computing power
compared with single mining, adding to the ore pool can obtain more stable income
I hope this answer will help you
