What is a mine? Is a mine controlled by people
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
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
ore pool cost
at present, the allocation modes of ore pool mainly include PPS, PPS +, FPPS, PPLNs and solo mode
in the corresponding allocation method, the mine pool charges part of the income of the miners at a certain rate as the mine pool fee
PPS: the income is stable. As long as the mining machine works normally, there will be income. The income is related to the submitted workload, and has nothing to do with the lucky value of the ore pool and the transaction fee
PPS + (pay per share plus) settlement method is an improvement on the traditional PPS settlement method. Based on the traditional PPS settlement method, the distribution of miners' fees is increased
FPPS: full PPS, which allocates all block income including transaction fees. Compared with the traditional PPS settlement mode (no transaction fee allocation), it can increase the income by 10% - 20%
under the PPLNs (pay per last n shares) settlement mode, every effective block found in the ore pool is allocated according to the proportion of user computing power in the pool computing power in the past n difficulty cycles. In this way, the income of miners is related to the output of ore pool. The income of miners is unstable, but the long-term average income is higher
in solo settlement mode, all the income is distributed to the miners who dig out the block, and other miners do not participate in the distribution. The mine pool charges very little handling charge, which is used for the operation and maintenance of the mine pool< How to choose a mine pool:
1< Secondly, choose your distribution mode, pursue stability or high income. It is generally recommended to choose PPS or PPLNs of large ore pool< Finally, according to the distribution mode, select the supported ore pool, and choose the one with fast connection speed and good income
4. In addition, 1-2 spare ore pools are selected for emergency use.
