Monroe coins are not added to the pool
mining: that is, bitcoin mining, is a process of using computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it
there are two kinds of mining in the new era, the first is bitcoin mining. After each transaction occurs, it is not complete. The transaction data must be written into the database before it is established, and the other party can really receive the money. First of all, all the transaction data will be sent to the miners, who are responsible for writing these transactions into the blockchain to complete the mining and obtain profits
the second is to dig Shanzhai. Zero coin, Monroe coin, ether coin, Wright coin, bitstock and other "Shanzhai coins". After a miner is assembled, it is connected to the designated mine pool. According to the specific algorithm, it starts full load operation and completes a calculation cycle to obtain "one" virtual currency. Then put the "this" currency on the online trading platform to cash out
How can blockchain mine
at the beginning, bitcoin could be g up with the computer CPU. The founder of bitcoin, Nakamoto Tsung, g up the world's first creation block with his computer CPU. However, the era of CPU mining has long passed, and now bitcoin mining is the era of ASIC mining and large-scale cluster mining
if you want to be a miner, it's actually relatively simple. You can start mining by purchasing a special mining equipment. You don't need to do it yourself. In fact, the computer is performing specific calculations. For miners, you only need to ensure the power supply and network connection of the mining machine.
their service is very good
because those who come in after mobile phone mining will be cut leeks
precautions:
1. In the past two years, various myths about blockchain "overnight wealth" have been constantly staged, and "mining" cryptocurrency has become a new trend of wealth, and mobile phone mining is becoming more and more popular
2. There will be special mining machines for real mining. After all, every mining machine is not cheap now. Mobile phone automatic mining can be obtained at a very low price. What you dig is not bitcoin. Basically, the counterfeit coin you send is not worth money. At that time, you will still be cut leeks
At the end of March this year, bitmainland launched an ant miner X3 based on ASIC, which is mainly aimed at Monroe coin (XmR) and cryptonight algorithm dependent cryptocurrency. Monroe coin immediately issued a counter statement that it will change the core algorithm to fight against the invasion of ASIC computing power
what would be the result if it appeared in the world of digital cryptocurrency? That is, the wrong calculation results may be brought into the whole network without being discovered
More importantly, if a "calculator manufacturer" monopolizes the calculator market, it can also deliberately proce this kind of calculator with errors to change the mathematical rulesafter all, the "calculation" in the field of crypto digital currency is not as simple as 1 + 2 + 3. You can't compare paper currency with special currency by hand
the practical significance of computing power monopoly in mainland China
we have learned about attacks based on 51% computing power in various articles
but the reality is that although the global power of 78% was in Chinese mainland, fortunately, they were scattered in different pools and controlled by different people. p>
although all POW based cryptocurrencies have the risk of being attacked by 51%, few people can really launch attacks e to the dispersion of computing power
but what if the miners themselves don't want to attack, but the mining machinery manufacturers attack
still using the analogy just now, although each miner subjectively wants to do the problem checking independently, their calculator is manipulated remotely and gives consistent wrong answers. This may pose a great threat to digital cryptocurrency
however, the manufacturer with the absolute voice of mining machinery had such a problem in mainland China
in April 2017, the back door of antbled came out. Although this is described as a "vulnerability" in Chinese, antbled is more like a function that has been implemented and designed
anonymous people found that after an ant miner made by bitmainland was connected to the network, it would communicate with a domain name held by bitmainland on a regular basis and return the miner's serial number, MAC address and IP address to bitmainland's server. If the server of bitcontinent gives a negative signal, the miner will stop running
although bitcontinental responded that they could not shut down any mining machines that did not belong to them. However, the bitcoin core team has proved in experiments that this function has no verification. Anyone can shut down mining machines by forging DNS - but it also means that bitcoin mainland has the ability to shut down any sold mining machines
After, bitcontinent fixed this "loophole", but it caused heated discussion in the community. This has also set the tone that almost all pow blockchain communities are biased against mainland China
a few months later, under the leadership of bitcontinent, viabtc g out the first block and made a hard bifurcation with the blockchain of bitcoin. From then on, bitcoin BCH (bitcoin cash) appeared in the world
will the monopoly of mining machinery destroy the distributed system
facing this problem, we should have a clear answer now. That is, the monopoly of mining machinery will certainly affect the safe operation of pow digital cryptocurrency
the problem is not whether bitcontinental and its founder Wu Jihan are trustworthy, but that one of the values of any blockchain system is to operate safely without trust in any single company or indivial
even if the ASIC miner is not monopolized by bitmainland, the ASIC miner itself will increase the concentration of computing power
the ASIC used for mining has great requirements for ventilation, power and site, and has no use except for mining. At the same time, the calculation difficulty of the whole network is increased e to the powerful computing power
as a result, it is very difficult for external players to start mining in the next software on the computer as they did five years ago. And the recent centralized exchange is caused by frequent black incidents, which also proves that concentration in this unregulated market will definitely lead to insecurity
assuming that the bitcoin network runs on top of one million miners, no one can shut it down. And if the bitcoin network runs on 20 large mines, it's much easier to shut it down
and by the end of 2017, 78% of the effort was concentrated in mainland China, which led to a real possibility of Chinese mainland regulators' launching a deadly attack against the special currency. p>
moreover, most of the scenarios of using digital cryptocurrency are related to "decentralization". Once centralized, it means that these scenarios no longer exist. It turns a project that might have value into a pure waste of computing power
Then, what measures should we take in the face of this situationfirst of all, as the project side, it may be time to give up the pure POW mechanism. In fact, in many projects of issuing cryptocurrency, especially in asset securitization projects. Similar to the concept of stock in the real world, POS itself is more reasonable than pow
in the media that don't know about blockchain, we often hear such words as "bitcoin wastes a lot of computing power and has no value", which is reasonable to some extent. It is difficult for a POW based blockchain to bind the value of the project itself to the issued digital cryptocurrency - because the real value behind the price of the currency does not come from the project, but from the cost of maintaining computing power
and the hybrid mode of pow + POS is more like the future. In the hybrid mode, both coin holders and miners can participate in the major decisions of this community. If a decision is widely accepted, the blockchain will be soft forked to the latest state without excessive intervention of developers, and there will be almost no private resistance of miners or mining machines
secondly, as a retail miner, if you are still digging a pure POW mechanism currency, you should unconditionally support the bifurcation activities initiated by the community to resist the ASIC mining machine, even if it will lead to the failure of your mining machine
this may sound contradictory, but in the long run, it is better to promote the reform of the community and get more benefits in a currency controlled by the monopoly of computing power. Because in many conflicts between computing power and community in the past, the ultimate result is that the computing power owner will forcibly keep the old algorithm to hard fork the blockchain
just like Eth and etc, the classic Ethereum (etc), which belongs to the computing power master, has lost the support of developers and become an air coin with no vitality and impossible to develop applications
as a retail leek, you should be careful to trade the non mainstream digital currencies (except bitcoin) supported by bitmainland mining machinery, so as to avoid falling into a blockchain in which bitmainland controls the computing power completely
finally, if you are bitcontinent, what should you do
bitcontinent's goal is to become Intel, AMD and NVIDIA, make greater contributions to the whole computer instry, and become a great company, not just entangled in the immediate interests of mining
Wall Street financiers have long seen through the violence brought about by NVIDIA's video card mining. The rise and fall of the company's stock price has been consistent with the price of bitcoin, and even affected by the digital currency market. Citron, a well-known short seller, has recently been bearish on NVIDIA, arguing that the company has focused too much on providing services for digital currency miners rather than on serious businesses such as artificial intelligence, games and driverless driving
the mission of chip manufacturers is to provide more powerful chips to drive more intelligent services, and finally contribute to the real world, rather than become monopoly tycoons in the virtual world. When we no longer enter the gate of the virtual world, the only thing left is a deserted land
in an interview with US media last year, Wu Jihan disclosed that he would make an IPO with a market value of billions of dollars. As a company about to go public, bitmainland should not only be responsible to investors, but also accept investors' questions about the sustainability of its business. "If your mining machinery goes public, it will encounter a fork, what should you do?"
and this question, which needs to be asked after the listing, has already appeared: the current price of the split coin xmo after the Monroe team split is $7.50, while the current price of the real Monroe coin XmR is $194, and the split coin is completely abandoned by the Monroe community
before bitcontinent becomes the name of all blockchain communities, we can rely on the huge amount of capital accumulated in recent years to transform into an artificial intelligence chip company along the previous plan, rather than continue to develop a variety of digital currency mining machines to extract the last drop of oil before the ecological collapse

mobile phone mining is to attract traffic by speculating the value of the virtual currency. After obtaining the traffic, it can be realized by advertising or colluding with script authors. It can stabilize the morale of the army and a group of people by purchasing virtual currency or other means. It can also attract others to join the gang through high invitation and reward, The next batch of leeks came happily
at present, e to the rise of digital currency mining, it is generally necessary to connect to the mine pool. For example, if you want to dig Monroe coins, you need to connect to the Monroe coin mine pool. The other is that some companies develop their own software, and then let others hang up their mobile phones to mine. This is almost deceptive. It is to use the concept of blockchain to hype some worthless coins issued by itself, such as token. Some of them are even directly similar to the points of traditional websites, that is, a number stored in the database, which has nothing to do with blockchain technology. This is purely to trap people for money
precautions:
1. In the past two years, various myths about blockchain "overnight wealth" have been constantly staged, and "mining" cryptocurrency has become a new trend of wealth, and mobile phone mining is becoming more and more popular
2. There will be special mining machines for real mining. After all, every mining machine is not cheap now. Mobile phone automatic mining can be obtained at a very low price. What you dig is not bitcoin. Basically, the counterfeit coin you send is not worth money. At that time, you will still be cut leeks.
each cloud node in the interstellar meeting mine pool is an independent operating identity. We have 20000 nodes around the world, distributed in Tokyo, New York, Seoul and other international metropolises, as well as Beijing, Shanghai and other first tier cities. The whole layout is that interstellar will arrange, manage and operate the mine in a unified way, and supervise and disclose the operation of the mine openly and transparently. The configuration of each node is 4-core CPU, 4G memory, 4T hard disk, and 10-50 megabytes of dedicated broadband
if you own a part of the mine pool and some nodes, the whole income of the mine pool will be divided in proportion to the number of nodes you own. For example, you buy a cloud server on Alibaba cloud, and then you use the cloud server to mine. In fact, you don't need to buy a machine and a broadband. You only need to buy a one-year service of Alibaba cloud server. If you use this service to run mining, the profits will belong to you. Buying nodes to participate in the mine pool is the same as buying Alibaba cloud services
that is to say, IPFs interstellar cloud nodes are charged annually. If you buy a cloud node, you can enjoy the profit of one year's harvest of filecion. IPFs will charge a 10% to 15% commission. The IPFs interstellar super cloud node is the cost of 10 ordinary cloud nodes, and naturally enjoys 10 times the income of ordinary cloud nodes. In addition, super cloud nodes will enjoy more discounts.
because the network wide computing power required by this kind of token is not high, the probability of hash collision of the computing power of personal computer can find out the answer in a short time, so as to obtain block rewards. However, this kind of token generally has little value or high risk, so it is not of great significance< br />
extended data:
mining risk:
1. Electricity charge problem:
if the graphics card "mining" needs to be fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity charge 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
2. Hardware expenditure:
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. Some mining machines are composed of more such graphics card arrays. With dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards, the cost of hardware and other costs is very high, and there is a considerable expenditure in mining
in addition to the display card burning machines, some ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) professional mining machines are also on the battlefield. ASIC is specially designed for hash operation, and the computing power is also quite strong. Moreover, because their power consumption is far lower than that of the display card, they are easier to form scale, and the electricity cost is also lower. It is very difficult to compete with these mining machines, This kind of machine costs more
3. Currency security:
the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but the frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin
4. System risk:
system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income
however, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners.
