Does ASIC still use graphics card in mining

1.

Generally, there are professional graphics cards to mine, and the mine is actually bitcoin. Users download the mining software from the computer and then run a specific algorithm. After communicating with the remote server, they can get the corresponding bitcoin. Most of them work by burning the graphics card, so the power consumption is large

the graphics cards and mine cards are usually ATI chips. The bitcoin market is not good, so the miners take out their mining cards and sell them as second-hand

what is mining

to put it simply, mining is to use the chip to perform a calculation related to the random number, and get the answer in exchange for a virtual coin. virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer. It's possible that one chip will find the answer in the next second, or ten chips won't find the answer in a week. The more chips compute at the same time, the easier it is to find the answer, and the mining machine with built-in multi chips appears. And a number of mining machines to form a "mine" at the same time mining is to improve efficiency. In the mine pool, multiple "self-employed" join an organization to mine together. No matter who finds the answer and digs out the virtual coin, everyone gets the corresponding reward according to the calculation ability of contribution. This way can make the income of "self-employed" more stable

relationship between mining and graphics card

the stronger the computing power of ant miner, the easier it is to dig out virtual coins. Accordingly, when the more virtual coins are g out, the difficulty of mining will be increased accordingly, so as to control the yield of virtual coins. The virtual currency is not unlimited. The total number of bitcoin is 84 million

It will accelerate the aging of graphics card

in order to make money, the graphics card works continuously for 7x24 hours and runs at full load. Some people will overclock the graphics card in order to earn more money. The general home game graphics card is not designed for this kind of use environment at all. Long time full load operation will lead to accelerated aging of the graphics card, Generally, the life of the graphics card used for half a year of mining is longer than that of the normal use of the players for three years, so now the major brands have made strict restrictions on the quality assurance of the cards

principles of computer Mining:

starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually the special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the finite solutions of a system of equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique. In the metaphor of banknotes, bitcoin is the number of the top word of a banknote. If you know the number of the top word of a banknote, you will have the banknote

and the process of mining is to constantly seek the special solutions of the equations through huge amount of calculation. The equations are designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million

to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client

after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost

3. GPU is the meaning of graph line processor, the original design intention is to do graphics computing. GPU chip is essentially a collection of many small CPUs for image processing. Of course, each CPU can also do general operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or non shift jump, so it can also be used for mining. When GPU is mining, it wastes less chip area and power consumption than CPU, so mining efficiency is higher than CPU
What about ASIC? It is a more optimized circuit than the CPU mentioned above. There is no specific definition, but there is a rule in the field of chip design: the more general computing platform, the less efficient it is to complete specific computing. ASIC is the most dedicated computing platform. If we understand this, we can come to such a basic conclusion: in the mining field, if we use the computing power proof mechanism, as long as the CPU can dig, ASIC can dig. No matter what algorithm is used, ASIC can dig. There is no reason that CPU can dig, but ASIC can't, So the biggest difference between GPU and ASIC is their specific computing power.

4. All the graphics cards are in the limit running state, and the noise of at least 6 graphics cards in a miner will be very loud.

5. Maybe your mining needs a strong computer system, so mining needs a graphics card. The following is about the graphics card extension information<

overview
graphics card, also known as video card, is an important part of the computer. It undertakes the task of outputting display graphics. For people who like to play games and engage in professional graphic design, graphics card is very important. The display chips of mainstream graphics cards are mainly made by NVIDIA (NVIDIA) and AMD (ultra micro semiconctor). Generally, the graphics cards with NVIDIA display chips are called N cards, while the graphics cards with AMD display chips are called a cards[ 1]
computers with high configuration all contain graphics card computing core. In scientific computing, graphics card is called display accelerator[ 1]
Video chipset is the main processing unit of graphics card, so it is also called graphic processing unit (GPU). GPU is the first concept put forward by NVIDIA company when it released geforce 256 graphics processing chip. Especially when dealing with 3D graphics, GPU makes the graphics card less dependent on CPU, and completes part of the work originally belonging to CPU. The core technologies of GPU include hardware T & L (geometry conversion and illumination processing), cubic environment material mapping and vertex blending, texture compression and bump mapping, al texture four pixel 256 bit rendering engine, etc[ 1]
all kinds of 3D special effects supported by the graphics card are determined by the performance of the display chip, and what kind of display chip is used roughly determines the grade and basic performance of the graphics card, such as NVIDIA GT series and AMD HD series[ 1]
there are many ways to measure the quality of a graphics card. In addition to using test software to test and compare, there are many indicators for users to compare the performance of a graphics card. The main factors that affect the performance of a graphics card are the frequency of the graphics card, display memory and other performance indicators [1].

6. Call the police. Don't think too much

7. There is no requirement

now the ASIC is used for mining, and the video card miner is out of date

8. Cup is not as fast as graphics card, graphics card is not as simple as ASIC chip. At present, all the virtual currencies of SHA-256 algorithm are mined by ASIC chip, and some other algorithms can not run on ASIC chip, so there are still graphics card miner. The operation speed of cup, graphics card and ASIC is improved, but the function is decreased.

9. After the emergence of ASIC, the running speed of ASIC BTC will be n times faster than that of graphics card, just as GPU is n times faster than CPU. LTC is mentioned in the voting options. Note: LTC is the abbreviation of litecain. The characteristics of LTC make it extremely difficult to realize ASIC / FPGA mining on LTC. You can regard LTC as ASIC / FPGA. For the comparison between LTC and BTC, please refer to: single choice voting. A total of 91 people participate in the voting. There are 129 days, 13 hours and 4 minutes before the end of voting. 1. If you don't dig, you will sell your graphics card directly, At that time, the graphics card had no profit as the CPU mining now. 2. Be able to dig, but not BTC, because LTC is a better choice! 3. We will continue to dig BTC, no matter how difficult it is, it doesn't matter. Your user group does not have voting rights

10. Take a bus from Linfen to Jincheng and stop at the provincial transportation station. After getting off the bus, walk north (right-hand direction of exit), turn right at the first traffic post, walk 50 meters. There is a parking stop. You can take bus No.31 or No.3 to the railway station. There is no ticket for one yuan. It costs more than 6 yuan to take a taxi at the railway station, sometimes more than 6.5 yuan. At this time, you can pay the driver 7 yuan or 6.5 yuan. If it is less than 6.5 yuan, you can pay 6 yuan.
