Blockchain pool
Before specifically talking about what mining is, you need to know what blockchain is
to put it simply, blockchain is a new application mode integrating various computer technologies. Just treat it as a new technology. The network constructed by blockchain technology has the characteristics of "decentralization", "information tampering", "openness", "anonymity", "security and reliability". These technologies can be applied in many fields, in short, it is very powerful ~
miner, a simple understanding is a more advanced computer, miner is to contribute to the blockchain network, you can regard miners as the guardian of the blockchain
with mining machinery, the blockchain network can operate normally. These mining machines are constantly doing calculations to provide computing power for the blockchain network. When the mining machine makes the correct calculation, the whole blockchain network will reward the mining machine with the corresponding digital currency. This process is called mining
if you also want to make a "contribution" to the blockchain, you need to download the mining system to start, miracle Moore learn about it
In 2009, bencong invented bitcoin, and set that there are only 21 million bitcoins. By participating in the proction of blocks and providing proof of work (POW), he can get the reward of bitcoin network. This process is mining
the concept of "mining" comes from the existing concepts in our real economic life, such as gold mining and silver mining. Because minerals are valuable, it drives people to pay labor to dig
another important point of bitcoin mining is that the miners who participate in mining recognize the value of bitcoin, and some of them are willing to spend money in the bitcoin market. Therefore, the mining of bitcoin is meaningful
extended data
currency characteristics of bitcoin
1, decentralized
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2, bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3, exclusive ownership
controlling bitcoin requires a private key, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4, low transaction cost
bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, about 1 bitfen transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost
as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6, cross platform mining
users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
for example, bitcoin was invented by Zhongben Cong in 2009, and the total number of bitcoin was only 21 million. By participating in the proction of blocks and providing proof of work (POW), we can get the reward of bitcoin network. Mining is the process of packaging and confirming the transactions in the bitcoin system over a period of time, and then recording them on the block
if you need to know more about it, you can look at my account number; Let's discuss
what is moving bricks
when it comes to "moving bricks", you will think of migrant workers or various online jokes, but today we only discuss "moving bricks" in the blockchain market
to describe "moving bricks" in vernacular is to make profits by using the price difference between different exchanges. The same currency has different prices in different markets. Buy it in a cheaper place and sell it in a more expensive place. The middle price difference is your profit
for example, the price of bitcoin BTC is $4000 on exchange a and $4100 on exchange B. after a buys BTC, it can be sold to B and each one can earn $100. This process is called "moving bricks"
however, with the increasingly fierce competition in bookkeeping and the graal rise of dpos, ordinary computing power equipment has been unable to meet the needs of mining
it is necessary to purchase more professional mining machines or join large mines. Therefore, the threshold of mining is slightly higher
where there is demand, there is market
e to the increasing market demand for professional mining machinery, more and more chip enterprises increase investment in chip R & D, and start to develop mining machinery with higher computing power and lower energy consumption, so as to earn profits
when the currency price rose sharply in 2017, this kind of mining machinery was in short supply
as the level of computing power in the whole network is getting higher and higher, it is difficult for a single miner to seize the bookkeeping right and obtain bookkeeping rewards. Therefore, the way of combining a small amount of computing power and joint operation arises at the historic moment to improve the competitiveness of bookkeeping
the website established in this way is called "mine pool"
the profit model of the mine pool is to charge the handling charge. The more people participate in the mine pool, the higher the proportion of handling charge, the higher the income of the mine pool company
blockchain is the core supporting technology of digital cryptocurrency system represented by bitcoin. The core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization. It can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the common high cost, low cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry.
