Ordinary home computer mining

1.

According to the current difficulty calculation, we can dig about 1.012 Laite coins a day. This is the average calculation result in the mine pool. If there is an efficient mine pool or solo, maybe more

litecoin (abbreviated as LTC, currency symbol: 321;) It is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology. It is also an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world

lightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central organization. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three significant differences. First, the lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, four times the amount of money issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in lightcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each Leyte is divided into 100000000 smaller units, defined by eight decimal places

design purpose

it is based on bitcoin protocol, but it is different from bitcoin in that even at the present stage, it can efficiently "mine" through consumer hardware. Liteoin provides you with faster transaction confirmation (2.5 minutes on average). It uses hard memory and mining workload proof algorithm based on scrypt (an encryption algorithm). It is oriented to ordinary computer and graphics processor (GPU) used by most people. The litecain network is expected to proce 84 million currency units

one of the design purposes of litecoin is to provide a mining algorithm, which can be run simultaneously on the bitcoin mining machine. With the rise of application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) designed for bitcoin mining, litecoin is also closely following the technological evolution. But before the widespread use of litecoin currency, it is unlikely that there will be an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) specially designed for litecoin

transactions

a peer-to-peer network similar to bitcoin handles lightcoin transactions, balances, and issues through a script workload proof scheme (when a sufficiently small hash value is found, the, A block will be created, and the lightcoin will be issued. The process of discovering the hash value and creating the block is called "mining"). The issuing rate of Leyte coins is reced by half every four years (every 840000 pieces) according to the proportional sequence, and finally the total number of LTCs is 84 million. Unlike bitcoin, the memory intensive feature of script makes it more suitable for "mining" with graphics processor (GPU). FPGA (field programmable gate array) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) implemented for script are more expensive than sha256 used for bitcoin

currently, lightcoin can exchange legal tender and bitcoin, most of which are through online trading platforms. Revocable transactions (such as credit card transactions) are generally not used to purchase Leyte, because Leyte transactions are irreversible, which brings the risk of refund. As of April 25, 2013, a Leyte is worth about $3.97 or 0.028 bitcoin. This makes Leyte the second largest electronic currency with a market value of about $35 million

litecain is a free software project released under MIT / X11 license, which allows you to run, modify and the software according to your own needs. You can also release a modified version of the software if you like

the software is released in a completely transparent form, and users can independently verify the binary version and the corresponding source code

mine pool

the lightcoin is generated by "miner's mining". Mining is done by hashing with computer graphics card. If the value of "mine burst" is calculated, the system will reward 50 lightcoins at one time. At present, the computing power of lightcoin is growing rapidly, and the miner can't find the mine through several computers. Therefore, it is necessary to join the mine pool, which collects all the computing power, It is estimated that the probability of calculating the "blasting" value is higher

at present, the well-known mine pools include BTCC (original bitcoin China) mine pool, waltc.net fish pool (f2pool), wemineltc, coinotron, silverfish, liteguardian, litecoin pool.org, etc. But at present, the highest income is f2pool. Recently, it launched lightcoin theory income + 10% of mine pool subsidy = your actual income, which has attracted the attention of many miners and the instry

data block chain

litecoin block chain, compared with its competitor bitcoin, can handle larger transaction volume. Due to the more frequent generation of data blocks, the network can support more transactions without modifying the software in the future
as a result, businesses can obtain faster transaction confirmation, and they can still wait for more transaction confirmation when they sell large value procts

In fact, digital virtual currency is far from the above. Forbes magazine listed the top 30 virtual currencies in the market by their total market value and price as of 10:00 a.m. local time on the 27th. Caijing.com and venture capital Post said that there are at least 60 kinds of virtual currencies currently traded According to the Forbes report, bitcoin ranked first in market value and unit price. It was the lightcoin designed by Li Qiwei, a former Google programmer, that won "erlianya". In the past week up to the 27th, the price of lightcoin rose rapidly from $6 to $26, a considerable increase. The third to fifth place in the total market value are spot money, nominal money and prime money. The report counted the 24-hour gains as of the 27th. Almost all of the 30 currencies rose, with the biggest increase of the quark currency, reaching 278.55%. The report also said that almost all virtual currencies have taken a ride in the current round of bitcoin's rise, but most of them have poor business, with 8 companies with a total market value of less than $1 million and 19 companies with a unit price of less than $1

2. Come on, if you really want to mine, you have to invest tens of thousands of multi card parallel hosts to mine with top graphics cards. With CPU, you can't get anything except the electricity bill
the efficiency gap is the same as that of shovel and excavator

This kind of computer works very fast, can reach 6-19tgs,

4. Litecoin is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology, which can help users pay to anyone in the world immediately
at present, lightcoin is the second virtual currency after bitcoin in global circulation market value. The legends of bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper and pennies aluminum (Internet) are popular in the circle
the popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Leyte coin, zeta coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin, pole coin, barbecue coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world

You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years

the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin

in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned

extended data:

bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system

bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer

when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25

when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

6.

Some new virtual digital coins can be mined by computer, such as eth, Zec, Monroe, XRB, etc

because the whole network computing power required by this kind of token is not high, the probability of hash collision of the computing power of personal computer can find out the answer in a short time, so as to obtain the block reward. However, this kind of token generally has little value, or has no high risk, so it doesn't mean much

extended data:

mining risk:

1. Electricity charge:

to make the graphics card full load for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity charge will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned

2. Hardware expenditure:

mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. Some mining machines are composed of more such graphics card arrays. With dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards, the cost of hardware and other costs is very high, and mining has a considerable expenditure

in addition to the display card burning machines, some ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) professional mining machines are also put into the battlefield. ASIC is specially designed for hash operation, and the computing power is quite strong. Moreover, because their power consumption is far lower than that of the display card, they are easier to form scale, and the power cost is also lower. It is difficult for single chip display to compete with these mining machines, This kind of machine costs more

3. Currency security:

the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but the frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin

4. System risk:

system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income

however, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners

7. It can be, but it can't compare with others

the money g can't fill the electricity bill hole
the configuration of home computers is low, and the computing power of graphics card can't keep up,
mining machines are generally equipped with server power supply<

now mining mainly relies on graphics card (GPU), ordinary home computers, which may be able to dig a coin for hundreds of years

now mining has entered the era of specialization and clustering. Without professional mining machines, there is no profit (because you have the cost of electricity). How can you compete with tens of thousands of other machines. If you really want to do mining, Jianye will buy a special miner to join in the large-scale mining pool.

8. One bitcoin is now down to $135
one dollar equals 6.14
in other words, 1 bitcoin is equivalent to 828.9 yuan
and according to the latest news, bitcoin has been stolen, so the price will be lower.
