Got out of jail for stealing electricity and mining
at present, the computing power of bitcoin in the whole network has reached 2.36 billion hash collisions per second, which is equivalent to the number of water droplets in more than 200000 50 meter long standard swimming pools. But even with such a large amount of computing power, it will take about 10 minutes to hit a hash value that meets the requirements
in 2012, bitcoin's output was halved for the first time, and in July 2016, bitcoin's output was halved for the second time. At present, 12.5 bitcoins are awarded for recording one page of account book. The next halving will take place around 2020, and the total number of bitcoins will not increase by 2040, with a total of 21 million. In other words, the difficulty of digging bitcoin is increasing, while the time required is increasing
previously, graphics cards were sold out because of the strong purchase of gold miners. The algorithm design of bitcoin is more and more difficult to dig. Therefore, the investment to dig the same bitcoin now is many times higher than a few years ago. Since the "mining" incident in Daqing Oilfield was exposed, the local police have counted the number. The average electricity cost of the mining machine seized is close to 500000 yuan in one month, and if it steals electricity, it is equivalent to making 500000 yuan in vain.
It's not against the law
The laws and administrative regulations in China do not prohibit the proction, holding and legal circulation of bitcoin, nor do they prohibit the sale of bitcoin mining machines2. The investment and transaction of "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin are on the rise. For this kind of virtual goods generated in the Internet environment after the development of Internet technology, there are policy and commercial risks in related transactions. However, under the premise of not violating the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations, the contract signed by the parties is a valid contract
3. Bitcoin is generated by "miner" and "mining", and "miner" can be assumed by anyone in any place in the world. "Mining" is a process in which "miner" provides certain computer computing power according to the open source software provided by the designer, and obtains the special solution of the equation through complex mathematical operations, The miner who gets the special solution gets a certain amount of bitcoin reward
Because bitcoin is based on workload proof, it is related to computing power. To have computing power, we need to consume power, so its power consumption is very large. It is precisely because of such a large power consumption that the safe and stable operation of bitcoin system can be guaranteed
extended information:
according to the data of btc.com website, up to now, the computing power of the whole bitcoin network is about 51.65 eh / s, which is equivalent to 1.84 million bitcoin S15 (28T computing power, 1596w power) mining machines in operation, and the daily power consumption is about 69.92 million kwh. Divided by the current proction of 1800 bitcoins per day, excluding other costs, each bitcoin will consume 38800 kwh of electricity. "
from this point of view, although the current price of bitcoin is expensive, the cryptocurrency market website coinmarketcap.com shows that the current unit price is about $7900, but the cost of mining a bitcoin is not low at all
It's not illegal to mine virtual currency on the computer now, but it's illegal to mine by stealing electricity. Virtual currency is defined as a special Internet commodity in China. Internet users can buy and sell it freely at their own risk, but it denies its monetary attribute. Of course, mining does not exist in all virtual currencies. Some currencies do not need mining
although the country banned bitcoin trading last year, this is because some people use these investment channels to launder money. So banning bitcoin is not to say that bitcoin is not approved. And it has nothing to do with bitcoin mining, otherwise bitcoin will not go up. At present, there are thousands of mine owners in the market. It shows that this investment project is still profitable

the fraud of MMM platform has a long history. As early as 20 years ago, it was identified as "one of the largest Ponzi scams in the world"
in February 1994, Sergei mavroji, a Russian, founded MMM stock company with a registered capital of only 100000 rubles (about US $1000 at that time). Mmm has launched advertisements in almost all well-known media in Russia to attract investors with high return on investment. In Russia at that time, millions of people participated in the MMM financial pyramid and were cheated out of tens of billions of dollars
after surviving for three years, mmm project went bankrupt in 1997, and its founder Sergei mavroji was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. Unexpectedly, after he was released from prison in 2007, he went to India, China, South Africa, Indonesia and other countries to cheat foreigners in Russia
bitcoin home and other websites have reported similar virtual money pyramid schemes. You can check the relevant information
in a nutshell, Ponzi scheme means that there is no corporate entity to attract investors with high interest, and later investors pay interest to early investors. For a Ponzi scheme, once there is no new capital inflow, or the subsequent new investment is not enough to pay for the "income" of the predecessors, the Ponzi scheme will explode immediately.
