Winbit mining
The graphics card market in 2017 is the most special in recent years. In the past few years, no graphics card will increase its price by 100% a few months after its release. RX 580 has achieved this goal. Together with all the graphics cards below 3000 yuan, it has broken through the premium point in an irresistible manner. All this happened with the bitcoin price breaking through 3000 US dollars. After miners swept the RMB 2000 RX 580, the price of low-end RX 560 and even GTX 1050 Ti increased to varying degrees. However, is the price directly proportional to the ability of hash algorithm? Recently, we did a test to collect the new generation of graphics cards at various prices on the market, test the mining speed of Ethernet and bitcoin, and see which card has the highest cost performance
Different from the thousand yuan market, this wave of mining tide has a great impact on high-end graphics cards. In the test results, RX 580 and Rx 480 have almost reached the bottom of GTX 1070. Moreover, the price of Rx 580 is even competing with that of GTX 1070, so the miners directly swept the 3000 yuan market when GTX 1060 3gb / 6GB is out of stock, and GTX 1070 is basically out of stock. The more advanced GTX 1080 is also out of stock, but it's not clear whether the players are forced to go directly to the high-end card or the miners extend their claws to this market. The situation of GTX 1080 ti is only slightly improved, but it's not much better. However, not everyone can afford the 6000 yuan graphics card. Only the top players will be affected, but it's just a narrower choice. It's not the case that the rich can't buy itsummary:
to mine, the first choice is the graphics card with more than 3gb video memory, which is the basis. In addition, the core frequency will affect the mining speed. We have two GTX 1080 cards on hand, one is public version, and the other is MSI GTX 1080 gaming X. the operating frequencies of the two cards are 1885mhz and 1936mhz respectively. After testing, because of the frequency, the latter will be about 4% faster than the former in actual mining. The advantages of high-frequency graphics card are highlighted
So Xiaobian's opinions and suggestions are as follows:the low-end card and the old architecture card are not suitable for mining. GTX 1080 ti is an extreme, with the most powerful performance, but the price is not suitable for large-scale procurement. The mining speed of a card with the same location is much faster than that of N card, The cost performance of GTX 1060 3gb is higher than that of GTX 1060 6GB. The frequency and the number of stream processors / CUDA have a great influence on the performance of the card. The size of video memory has no influence on the mining. It's enough. Different video cards will have different profits if they dig different coins. If you want to further explore, you need to test several currencies, Limited to space, we only select two representative currencies to test
as long as the mine disaster does not occur, the shortage will last for a long time. However, if there is a mine disaster, a large number of second-hand mine cards will directly enter the market. These cards are always running at full load and full speed, and their service life is greatly shortened compared with that of ordinary users. Even if the price is lower, they will roll over at any time, There is no need to start at all. Moreover, the second-hand market will be directly disrupted. At that time, it will be difficult for some normal users to get out of the second-hand market, and the deep-water fish's Dragon killing knife will explode the galaxy. Now it is said that NVIDIA is making some graphics cards without display output interface, which are provided to miners as mine cards. With a certain capacity, if the mine card still can't satisfy the miners, won't the miners buy the graphics card in the consumer market? The only function of these special mine cards is to prevent mine cards from flowing into the second-hand market, which can not alleviate the current shortage of graphics cards
with the increasing capacity of bitcoin blockchain data, the client wallet data is installed on Disk C by default. If Disk C is not large enough, you need to find a way to move the data from disk C to other disks
examples are as follows: (Note: close the client first)
1. Find bitcoin's data folder:
XP --- C: & # 92; Documents and Settings\ username\ Application Data\ Bitcoin
vista,win7---C:\ Users\ username\ AppData\ Roaming\ Bitcoin
2. Copy this bitcoin folder to other disk with large space, such as disk D (to avoid operation error, it is recommended to it first and delete disk C after it runs normally, so as to save disk C space)
3. Edit the bitcoin shortcut on the desktop (if there is no shortcut on the desktop, there are two ways: one is to find the installation folder, find "bitcoin QT. Exe", right-click, and select Create Shortcut to cut the shortcut to the desktop or any location; For the second method, if it is a green installation free version, you can find this installation folder, find "bitcoin-qt.exe", right-click and select Create Shortcut to cut the shortcut to the desktop or anywhere.) Right click on the shortcut, select "properties", enter the following in the "target" column and confirm:
& quot; C:\ Program Files\ Bitcoin\ bitcoin-qt.exe" - datadir=D:\ Bitcoin
(red is the target location of the added part)
now, double-click the bitcoin shortcut on the desktop, the client will start, and all data updates will be stored in disk D, and disk C will no longer occupy space. This method can also avoid data re download caused by deleting Disk C e to system re installation, and can also protect wallet files.
top ten Ethereum mining software in 2020
in terms of market value, Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency, second only to bitcoin. Ethereum's popularity among the holders has increased rapidly because it can build the whole decentralized ecosystem and applications on top of its blockchain. As Ethereum is friendly to GPU mining, Ethereum is a good choice for PC users (especially those with AMD high-end graphics cards). However, 24ker should also warn readers that at this time point, Ethereum's price is $241, which means that even if you use radon VII (90mh / s), your weekly profit is less than $7, The annual profit is about $339. However, considering the potential value-added space of Ethereum, if the price can return to the healthy range of $500-600, it means that your radon will be back in one year
if you already have Ethereum mining hardware and an effective wallet, all you have to do is to find the best eth mining software, which will help you manage the mining work effectively
in this article, we will introce the features, advantages and compatible operating systems. But before we get there... Let's talk about the basics
why Ethereum
unlike traditional currencies, Ethernet operates on the public ledger system, which makes mining itself the core power of Ethereum network. When miners receive the transaction data sent by other members of the network, they assemble them into a structure called Merkle tree, and then try to find an acceptable hash value
only one hash will be returned for each dataset, and the hash value cannot be used to dece the original data. Its purpose is to effectively ensure that the block information is not tampered with. Moreover, if someone changes even one number in any long transaction string, the output hash value will be completely different, and false transaction or fraud will be eliminated
as you can see, if there is no Ethereum mining, Ethereum network will be paralyzed immediately. Therefore, participating in Ethereum mining is not only the mining revenue, but also the support for the operation and growth of Ethereum
what is mining software< In short, mining software is a program that uses a computer graphics card (GPU) as a resource to solve complex mathematical equations. Once the equation is solved, the data is added to the rest of the blockchain
the mining software will monitor the input and output of the hardware, and display statistical data to you, such as miner speed, fan speed, temperature and hash rate
the Ethereum mining software described in this article can be connected to many available Ethereum mining pools
Ethereum mine pool
Ethereum mine pool is a resource area that is equally distributed and shared among miners. Nowadays, it has become too difficult for a person to dig a mine, so it is necessary to use the way of mining pool to fight in groups
today, Ethereum is one of the most famous choice of Ethereum mines. The pool allows its users to remain anonymous and pay only a small 1% mining fee<
top ten Ethereum mining software:
1-ethminer (Ethereum Royal)
it can be seen from the name that ethminer is specially designed for mining Ethereum, and currently supports Linux, MAC and windows. Make sure to download the version corresponding to the device's operating system
in addition to Ethereum, you can also use ethminer to mine all tokens according to ethash algorithm, including expand, elaism, metaverse, musicoin, Pirl, Ethereum classic, etc< Ethminer is a command line software. This means that you can start it from the Linux console or the windows command prompt, or you can use the windows CMD / batch file or the Linux bash script to create a shortcut to the preset command line<
(2-cgminer)
this program was released in 2011. Because it is compatible with three different mining hardware (ASIC, FPGA and GPU), it is still one of the most popular mining software options. CG miner is an open source Ethereum miner written in C language, and provides support and binary files for openwrt router, RPI, etc
the advantages of cgminer include the ability to match your hash rate with zero latency extension, remote interface function and advanced detection of new blocks. The software can be used for Mac, Linux and windows
