EOS mining strategy

EOS is a public chain system at the bottom of blockchain developed by block. One, which is specially designed to support decentralized application of Commerce, and its code is open source

bitcoin is called blockchain 1.0 because it opens up the world of digital cryptocurrency and takes a decisive step from 0 to 1

Ethereum is known as blockchain 2.0, because it provides Turing complete virtual machine that can run smart contracts, bringing unlimited possibilities

and EOS is called blockchain 3.0, why? Two words: performance

English: the most powerful infrastructure for decentralized applications

Chinese: the most powerful decentralized application infrastructure

EOS expects to be an enhanced version of Ethereum, a high-throughput intelligent contract platform

although Ethereum has complete functions, it is limited by its design choice. Due to the block output speed of 15 seconds, the transaction throughput is far from large-scale practical level, which is only about 30 ~ 40tps (transaction / s). EOS, on the other hand, has chosen a different technology route, with the goal of achieving a considerable million TPS, which is quite attractive considering visa's actual processing speed of 1700tps

consensus mechanism of EOS

the reason why the throughput of bitcoin and Ethereum is so low is that they are constrained by the application scenario they envision and the consensus mechanism they choose for the scenario - both of them assume that the environment in which the system runs is totally untrustworthy, so they both adopt the consensus mechanism of proof of work

consensus, as the name suggests, is to reach a unified understanding of something - for blockchain, something refers to the confirmation of the transaction - any node to submit a transaction needs everyone's approval

the pow mechanism currently adopted by bitcoin and Ethereum is the design of the legendary Nakamoto Tsung. Under this mechanism, in order to obtain the bookkeeping right and digital currency reward, miners need to constantly dig for the compliant hash value, and confirm and package the transaction data through the consensus of hash value. POW has no access threshold, and any node has equal rights to participate in bookkeeping. Of course, the probability of winning is related to computing power:

the price of ram is based on Bancor algorithm, that is, it is regulated by market supply and demand: if the supply of ram exceeds the demand, more EOS certificates are needed to buy ram, At this time, more EOS certificates can be obtained by selling ram

memory is a consuming resource, which cannot be redeemed and can only be bought and sold. Take the issue of currency on EOS as an example. At present, the issue of currency requires 20m of memory. An EOS can buy 20KB. According to the current storage price, issuing a currency will consume 1000 EOS. This is the source of EOS memory consumption

The wealth myth of "one coin, one villa" is still widely spread in the currency circle, and new investors are eager to try. But in fact, a stable power structure has been formed in this small circle, from mining machinery manufacturers to large mine owners, and then to mining pools

manufacturing and selling mining machines, mining, building mines and building ore pools, the "mining circle" has become another way to get rich in the blockchain world, and mining machines have also become a little-known "big business"

according to the imagination of Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, the ideal state should be "decentralized", with computing power scattered all over the world. However, contrary to decentralization, the mine pool is absolutely centralized, and more and more mining machines are connected to the mine pool

this article was first published in the Southern Weekend

"if speculation is a road of no return, then investment in mining machinery is a business that can make a steady profit without loss, and it is only a matter of time before the cost is recovered." Zhong Xi, general manager of Shenzhen Aibo times Technology Co., Ltd., calculated an account. A miner earns 200 yuan a day, which can be recovered in 120 days, and then the profit

in October 2017, in addition to his main business, Zhong Xi joined the mining army and quickly became a big boss in the mining circle. He operated many large mines in Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places

in fact, the business of "steady profit without loss" still depends on the continuous rise of currency price. In the past two months, the price of bitcoin has dropped from US $15000 to about US $10000, or even below US $6000 at one time, which has extended the cycle of mining machinery return. If it keeps falling, the profit will be far away

in 2012, four years after the advent of bitcoin, mass-proced mining machines appeared. Before that, mining was mainly a private activity, which could be completed by a home computer“ At that time, the home computer was the money printing machine, and a lot of bitcoin could be g up every day. " Huang Shiliang, a senior digital currency player who sold mining machines in his early years, recalled to Southern Weekend reporters

after the emergence of mining machine, mining began to be "socialized", with the emergence of mines and pools, and mining became a collective work. The indivial miner is entrusted by the mine, just like the workers on the proction line, as long as they are there, they can get paid every day

manufacturing and selling mining machines, mining, building mines and building ore pools, the "mining circle" has become another way to get rich in the blockchain world, and mining machines have also become a little-known "big business"

China has become the world's largest procer of mining machinery. Since 2012, a number of miner manufacturers have been born in China, such as Shenzhen bitquan Co., Ltd., which proces cat roasting miner, bitmainland, Jianan Yun and Yibang communication, which are now famous. In Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, foreigners can be seen everywhere asking about the price of mining machinery with translators

recently, in an interview with the media, the CEO of bitcontinental, Mr. Zhan Ketun, said that this startup company, which has been established for only four years, had a revenue of about US $2.5 billion in 2017. Bitcontinent is known as the world's largest miner, whose ant miner has always been the hard currency of the coin circle and miner world

just like the coin circle, the mining circle also needs belief that the mechanical mathematical operation of mining machines every day can create great wealth

this process of "centralization" made the wealth of the mining circle snatched by a few people, and it was not easy for Zhong Xi to enter the core circle

calculation force "centralization"

the main function of the mine is to provide a place for scattered mining machines to operate. But it is the "ore pool" that really plays the role of integration

the so-called "mine pool" can be simply understood as "cooperative mining". The miners and the mines give the calculation power to the mine pool, and the mine pool is used as the only address to access the digital currency network for mining, and then distribute dividends to the miners according to the calculation power of the mining machine

the history of ore pool is longer than that of mining machine. In November 2010, the mine pool named slush appeared. Today, its official website says "the world's first mine pool", which is also recognized by the coin circle. Compared with the mine, the construction of the mine pool needs certain technology, and the threshold is relatively higher

the person in charge of a well-known domestic mine pool explained the principle of the mine pool to the Southern Weekend reporter. He compares mining to buying lottery tickets. If you dig alone, the probability of winning the lottery is very unstable. You may win 100000 today, but you won't in the next six months

"gather the people who buy lottery tickets together and buy them in a unified way. No matter who wins, they will be divided according to the proportion of money they pay. In the coin circle, the mine pool plays this role. " The person in charge said

it's not complicated to connect the mining machine with the ore pool. According to the operation guidelines of the major ore pools, it can be completed in a few steps, and then according to the calculation power provided by ourselves, we can get benefits from the ore pool. The miner is like a worker standing on the proction line, receiving a fixed salary every day

the mine pool with huge computing power and many mining machines has an absolute say in the coin circle and the mining circle. For example, if you want to issue a new digital currency or dominate the bitcoin bifurcation, you generally need to get the support of the mine pool. Without the support of the mine pool, no one will dig the new currency, so it is meaningless

in addition, when a hot new coin comes out, the mine pool can also use its own miners to pack it quickly and take the lead in the rush purchase of these new coins

in June 2017, when SNT and EOS were issued, Southern Weekend reporters witnessed the scene of minchi snapping up tokens. Because there are too many investors, many indivial investors can not put their funds into the designated position, but the person in charge of a mine pool can easily complete this operation

according to the imagination of Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, the ideal state should be "decentralized", with computing power scattered all over the world. However, contrary to decentralization, the mine pool is absolutely centralized, and more and more mining machines are connected to the mine pool

on January 18, 2018, Emin Yun silash, a computer professor at Cornell University, and other five people co authored a paper pointing out that there is an implicit power structure behind bitcoin and Ethereum, the two major digital currencies, and mining is too centralized, in which 50% of bitcoin's computing power is controlled by the four major mines

recessive power structure

in the mining circle, the top of the food chain is mining machinery manufacturers. At present, the three recognized mining machinery manufacturers are located in China. Through the proction and sales of mining machines, they get a lot of profits. At the same time, they also set foot in the construction of mines and pools, and have the right to speak in the whole coin circle

ant mining pool is one of the top two large mining pools in the world, and its computing power accounts for 17% of the total network computing power. However, according to instrial and commercial data, it was founded by bitmainland; Several investors of Jianan Yun are also investors of Hangzhou mining Pool Technology Co., Ltd., which has its own mining pool hash and mining platform, but the mining pool has ceased operation at the end of 2017

"we are building a new mine in Irkutsk, Russia, where electricity charges are much lower and new mining machines can be hosted there." The source said

above the mining machinery manufacturers, it is the harvest of chip giants“ The core technology of mining machinery lies in the chip. Whoever has the chip can proce more mining machinery. " Ding Yang told reporters at Nanfang Weekend that the chips are mainly in the hands of several giant manufacturers, such as TSMC, NVIDIA, AMD, etc

since 2015, TSMC has always been the largest chip supplier of Jianan Yun. In 2015, the chips purchased by Jianan Yun from TSMC accounted for 69.62% of all the chips purchased by Jianan Yun. Since then, this figure has been maintained at about 60%. Most of the profits of Jia Nan Yun Zhi were made by TSMC

under the mining machinery manufacturers, there is another power structure. Jianan Yun disclosed this secret in its 2017 prospectus. In the first four months of 2017, four of the top five customers of Jianan Yun were "indivials". According to public information, three of them are well-known "wrists" in the currency circle

these big customers are not simple miners, they all have their own influence in the coin circle. Mechanical operation of the mining machine to bring them income at the same time, also brought the right to speak

according to an insider in bitmainland, most of the big customers in bitmainland are big guys in the currency circle. However, bitmainland officials declined an interview with the Southern Weekend reporter. The company's Public Relations Department responded that it was not convenient to disclose the content because it signed a confidentiality agreement with its customers

"one coin, one villa" wealth myth is still widely spread in the currency circle, and new investors are eager to try. But in fact, a stable power structure has been formed in this small circle, from mining machinery manufacturers to large mine owners, and then to mining pools

most of the new entrants can only make the harvested "leeks"

on December 17, 2017, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850, which led people to invest in bitcoin

on the evening of January 22, 2017, fire coin, bitcoin China and okcoin announced on their official websites that in order to further curb speculation and prevent drastic price fluctuations, each platform will start to collect transaction service fees from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, and the service fee will be charged at a fixed rate of 0.2% of the transaction amount, And the active transaction rate is consistent with the passive transaction rate
