How to mine bitcoin's solo graphics card

1. Speaking of bitcoin, it can be hot recently. The Internet is discussing this mysterious currency everywhere, even in the economic journal. Newspapers are discussing the feasibility. Bitcoin is popular among computer geeks. These people are yearning for freedom. It is said that when Nakamoto published his paper, bitcoin has become increasingly popular. Many foreign websites and even shopping have accepted bitcoin payment, but domestic ones are relatively few. The value of bitcoin is relatively high now. It is worth more than 300 US dollars and more than 1000 RMB yuan, which is very attractive. But it is just a stock, which goes up and down. It's more risky than special procts. Please be careful when you enter the trade
today, I'll write down my experience and tools in bitcoin exploration. I'm also a novice. I'd like to share with people who love bitcoin
1. Download your bitcoin e-wallet first. There is bitcoin client on the Internet. It doesn't need to be registered. It is bound to your computer by default. After downloading and installing, it will change your network data block. This is enough. I heard that it is to download all the information of network nodes. It's global. How big should it be? I've updated it for several days and finished downloading the data block
bitcoin client interface:
2. The interface is relatively simple. With this client, you can make bitcoin payment and collection. You can see a string of numbers and letters below by clicking on the circle in the figure below. You can the string and send it to others. If you give the bank card account number to others, they can pay. You can click "send currency" and paste the account number sent by others to pay for bitcoin. There is no third party in this process, So it's safe
3. How to mine is also an important way to proce bitcoin. mining tool is guiminer, it is a green package, that is, folder, do not need security, download it directly decompression can be used, find the icon below, double-click to run
interface:
4. If you have a tool to use, you need to find a good place to proce minerals, that is, a mine pool. Now the output of bitcoin is less and less. If you dig bitcoin, you don't know when and when. If you are a Galaxy series supercomputer, let's talk about it separately. Personal computers can be ignored. There are many mines, But it is known as deepbit, the world's largest mining pool of bitcoin. Its website is
https://deepbit.net/
log in to the website to register an account. Click my account
5, enter my account information, here you can see your miner information, how much bitcoin the account has, C contribution
6, specific settings of my account< br />1、< Your bitcoin address to receive payment: & gt; In the box, enter the address where you accept bitcoin. Don't write it wrong, or you'll be digging for nothing. The picture and text above have said that
2. Minimum value of automatic payment:
set by yourself. When you have so much money in the mine pool, this website will automatically type the money to your bitcoin account address set above. You see, the above settings are important
3 set miners, click Create
New
vorker, Chinese is to create new miners, miners can help your mining workers, you can set more than one, and then excavate in a lot of computers, the effect is more obvious, the income is more rich
write freely on the name, to write in English, foreign things better write in English
write the password by yourself, don't write it too long, it's simple, it's not important
failure detection threshold
(1-3600
minutes):
just write 60,
when the miner doesn't work, send an email notice*<
: choose not decisively, refuse spam,
payment method: choose decisively, pull according to proportion, pay more for more work, which is in line with human development
click the last point
Sava
setting
to save your miner and return to see your miner's information
7. Fill the miner information into the mining tool guiminer,
file - & gt; new
opencl
miner-> Fill in your favorite name - "sever" select deepbit - "user name to fill in the miner's name. Remember to add the miner to your mailbox in the form of your registered account. There is a password on it, you know. Device
is to choose what hardware you use to work, usually with a graphics card. Select the graphics card you want to use. If you can't find it, remember to update the graphics card driver, Then start
mining. You can sit and wait for ore collection. The specific speed depends on your computer configuration
note: there are many ore pools and tools, but I won't introce them to you, just because I use what I said above. Whoever uses knows, there will be a place to speak, and I may not understand others. Be careful, the electricity bill is not enough. If you really have it, you can buy and sell bitcoin on China bitcoin network and exchange it for real gold, right.

Why use graphics card to mine

compared with CPU, GPU is used for general purpose calculation. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance is much stronger than that of CPU. p> However, as we have mentioned before, a card is very suitable for general computing such as virtual currency because it has many stream processors, and the speed of obtaining specific solutions is much higher than that of N card. Therefore, many miners rush to buy a card to calculate virtual currency for profit

of course, with NVIDIA's Pascal graphics card, n card's ability in mining virtual currency is not as different as a card before. So in the current situation that a card is generally out of stock, those mid-range N cards have become the second choice for miners

What are the disadvantages of mine card

finally, I want to talk about why we can't choose mine card when we are shopping for second-hand cards. Because the miners are mining bitcoin, the most important thing is to seek profits. Therefore, the graphics card they use is running and calculating all the time, and its strength is far greater than that of daily game applications. In other words, running such a calculation for one day is equivalent to running a graphics card for one month

in addition, the places where virtual currency is mined are mostly the places where multiple graphics cards gather. Thousands of graphics cards are constantly calculating in a room, and their heat is also quite huge. Miners can not choose the chassis with good heat dissipation conditions like ordinary consumers, so that the heat can be released smoothly. In this way, the graphics cards can still operate for 7 * 24 hours under high temperature conditions, It also deepens its aging degree

the result of doing so is that the graphics cards used for mining are lost prematurely. If you buy these graphics cards, the result will be unstable operation, restart and other things will continue to happen

moreover, at present, manufacturers also have strict requirements on mine cards, such as banning second-hand sales and shortening the shelf life. If users buy these mine card graphics cards, future maintenance will also be a big challenge

3.

Starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique

why use graphics card to mine

compared with the complex computing of CPU, GPU used by graphics card is used for general computing. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance is much stronger than that of CPU. p>

the actions in bitcoin can be considered as the use of graphics card to do continuous general computing, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive. The stream processor used by graphics card is just suitable for such an algorithm. It's like constantly solving equations. The graphics card is 2000 middle school students, while the CPU is 8 math doctors. Although the mathematical knowledge of the doctor of mathematics is far more than that of the middle school students, the speed of solving medium-sized equations such as virtual currency is certainly not as fast as that of 2000 middle school students

so we used graphics card to mine virtual currency at the beginning. After that, someone developed a specific algorithm to make the stream processor of the graphics card greatly strengthen the virtual currency solution, which is the origin of the mining machine
