What is LPFs miner
IPFs was just started in 2018, and it started to be popular in 2019 recently. Because the main network has not been officially launched, it has not been possible to start formal mining. However, many people have started to reserve hard disk mining machines now, because it is cheaper now. For example, the interstellar Aoyun is a more popular one. It is estimated that it will have to go up a lot at that time
IPFs miner is more environmentally friendly than bitcoin miner. It uses hard disk to mine, so the noise and power consumption will be greatly reced. Moreover, hard disk is not easy to depreciate, so the cost of participation will be relatively low.
IPFs is a file transfer protocol similar to http. If IPFs wants to run, it needs many computers (storage devices) in the network as nodes. In a broad sense, all participating computers can be called IPFs mining machines
in order to attract more users to join the IPFs network and contribute to the network, an encryption currency named filecoin is designed, which is distributed to the participants (nodes) as a reward according to the amount of contributed storage space and bandwidth. In a narrow sense, the computer specially designed for the purpose of obtaining the filecoin reward is called IPFs mining machine
because IPFs network needs storage space and network bandwidth, in order to obtain the highest profit ratio, IPFs mining machine usually strengthens the storage space and reces the power consumption of the whole machine. For example, more than 10 high-capacity hard disks are equipped, Gigabit or higher speed network cards are equipped, and ultra-low power architecture processors are used
of course, the mining machine provides storage services, so it can obtain revenue. The size of revenue is related to the configuration of mining machinery and the number of IPFs mining machinery
extended data
the reasons why it is not recommended to invest in IPFs are as follows:
1. IPFs technology is too early to be commercialized
IPFs now takes up a lot of bandwidth. IPNs is very slow at present, which is an obvious technical defect. It will be very difficult to realize dynamic web pages only through IPFs
There is no reasonable economic model, even if the token economy is added, it is difficult to realize the long-term natural ecological valueas a very cumbersome decentralized protocol, it is difficult for users to share files autonomously and spontaneously. In addition, even if users share files into the protocol, the files will be completely open and users cannot delete files effectively, so the security of valid files is threatened
the solution is to introce encryption and blockchain incentive mechanism. At the same time, it solves the security and storage power problems of files. However, as mentioned before, any node with workload proof under blockchain incentive mechanism will face an economic problem of continuous power on state
It is difficult to establish an ecological network with IPFs as the core under the influence of technical problems The ecological application space ofIPFs is quite limited, and the project interaction speed realized by IPFs protocol is also very slow. Of course, it has a direct relationship with the number of nodes and the distance of calling
IPFs mining machine is not so much mining as charging rent. Why do you say that? If there is a user's demand for storage, the miner will rent his miner's memory as storage space, and the user will pay the miner filecoin as a reward
the working principle is simple: the user's storage demand is equivalent to didi express order, while the miner's job is to grab the order. The closer the distance, the higher the priority. Where the users are most concentrated must be Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, so the miners from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have a natural advantage
compared with the traditional miner, the IPFs miner like interstellar Aoyun has advantages. It doesn't need a lot of computation, it has no noise, it consumes less power, and it's almost perfect. Even renting storage space is a bit of sharing economy, and it also requires miners to have better network speed and hard disk, fair competition, and good upward effect on the development of the whole ecology.
