Mining operation of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin
the feature of sha256 algorithm used in bitcoin is that it's easy to verify the known answers correctly, but it's very troublesome to get the answers, and you need to try them one by one. The miner who got the answer first was recognized by everyone as having snatched the right to keep accounts, and the reward was given to him. Let's continue to grab the bookkeeping right of the next question
simply speaking, the significance of these calculations only lies in ensuring the stability and security of the whole system, and has no more significance. It is not comprehensive to regard bitcoin as a by-proct of computing. The generation and issuance of bitcoin, all the transactions and circulation in the bitcoin chain, and the stability of the bitcoin system are all the purposes of computing. Of course, in addition to maintaining the system, it does not proce other value and procts. This is also a black spot where bitcoin is accused of not being environmentally friendly and wasting resources
in general, bitcoin, as a milestone blockchain digital currency, comes from the huge value of a large amount of computing power investment and user trust. There is no doubt about that.
It's about 37 yuan
let me first introce the reward mechanism of bitcoin system
bitcoin can basically dig out a block every 10 minutes through system settings. The reward for each block is given to the miners who dig out the block. The miner who digs out the block is called the block miner. The block miner will record the legal transactions in the bitcoin network to the blockchain, so that the miner can receive the service charge for bookkeeping
there are two parts in the reward for the block Miner: one part is the reward given by the system, which is called coinbase reward (also known as system issuance reward), the other part is the reward for bookkeeping, which is called miner's fee. The coinbase reward started with 50 bitcoins. For every integral multiple of 210000 blocks, the coinbase reward will be halved. This is what we often hear about bitcoin mining reward halved in four years
at the present stage, the reward of coinbase is 12.5 bitcoins. At the present stage, the average transaction miner fee received by miners for digging out a block is about 0.1 bitcoin (not fixed), that is to say, the average reward received by miners for digging out a block is about 12.6 bitcoin
about 99% of miners' rewards come from the system's coinbase rewards. According to the bitcoin system, one block can be g out every 10 minutes on average. The number of new blocks that can be g out in one day is 144 (60 * 24 / 10 = 144). At present, the number of bitcoins that can be g out every day is 1800btc (144 * 12.5btc = 1800btc). With the miner's fee of about 0.1btc per block, the total reward for all miners in one day is about 1814.4btc
computing this random code requires a lot of GPU operations, so the miners purchase a large number of graphics cards to get bitcoin more quickly and make profits
bitcoin has a halving effect, that is to say, every four years, the number of bitcoin will be halved. In this way, the computing power of bitcoin will increase, that is, the difficulty of mining will increase. Under normal circumstances, mining generally refers to the use of mining machine, that is, the computer to dig. These all refer to the single operation, or the operation of the whole mine. Cloud computing power mining refers to mining with multiple people. You can participate in mining as long as you invest a small part
the usual steps of bitcoin mining are "purchase miner - deploy miner - set miner - get profit", but the deployment of miner is affected by many factors, such as electricity price, site, temperature, noise, operation and maintenance, etc. These barriers need certain conditions and knowledge to eliminate, so it gives birth to a sub mole of mining instry - cloud computing power
cloud computing power is a remote mining mode. Users purchase cloud computing power contracts through the platform, rent computing power mining, and obtain revenue regularly. The advantage of cloud mining is that users don't need to deeply understand the mining principle and various software and hardware, or buy expensive mining machines, and they don't need 24-hour maintenance. As long as they place an order, they can participate in mining, which is similar to purchasing usufruct procts
for mine owners, renting and selling the right to use the computing power for a period of time to customers at a price slightly lower than the self operated mining income can quickly return cash, purchase the latest mining machinery in advance, expand the proction scale, and win the possibility of profit in the forward market. To some extent, it can also retain mining machinery at a low currency price, transfer risk, and hedge the single risk of self operated mining business< However, compared with direct participation in mining, cloud computing power also shows the following disadvantages:
even if the platform fully displays relevant information such as mines, mining machinery, cooperation and teams, it is still difficult for users to judge the quality of computing power, real-time operation status (such as power failure, site temporary inspection) or real revenue data behind the platform
the risk of speculation in bitcoin (short-term trading to earn spread) is higher than that of Tuen bitcoin (long-term bullish), but most Tuen bitcoin investors often lack judgment on short-term price changes and "get off early". Cloud computing power brings a small amount of bitcoin income to investors every day, which is also controlling investors' frequent operation in disguised form. Therefore, for many people who like bitcoin, there will be such a saying: "it's better to dig money than to fry money"
the market opportunity of cloud computing power is to provide indivials with a more neutral way of investment. The threshold is lower than that of self built mines, the risk is lower than that of short-term operation, and the cost is lower than the market price. It also allows mines to share the costs and risks and obtain more abundant cash flow
the main risk of cloud computing power lies in the authenticity and stability of computing power behind the contract. In our long-term contact with the mining instry, the high-frequency words we hear are "pit": reasons for power failure beyond common sense, various incidents ring the transportation of mining machinery, constant interference of viruses and extortion, fluctuation of futures and tardy spot, obstacles of cross-border trade, and team ghosts that can't be prevented. Therefore, real and stable computing power is scarce to a certain extent, Behind it is often years of experience. As an information intermediary, cloud computing power platform will become its core competitiveness in how to help users select high-quality cooperative mine cooperation, design friendly and attractive procts, formulate professional and transparent instry standards, establish disaster recovery plans to deal with various risks, and provide high-quality services throughout the whole process of investment
of course, mining is a long-term development instry, and cost recovery also needs a certain period, so whether you can make money mainly depends on whether you can stick to it.
when building bitcoin, Nakamoto wants bitcoin to be a decentralized currency, not only for use and trading, but also for mining. But it backfired. With the increasing value of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, mining has become an instry. The competition is more and more fierce, and the pursuit of mining computing power is higher and higher. Therefore, from ordinary computer mining, ASIC mining machine and GPU mining machine have evolved
the algorithm of ASIC mining machine is almost sha256, while the algorithm of GPU mining is different. For example, the algorithm of BTG is equihash, and the algorithm of BCD is optimized x13. Although it is not absolute, it can be simply considered that the currency of sha256 algorithm is generally mined by ASIC mining machine. Other algorithms are basically using GPU miner. There are also exceptions. Scrypt's Leyte coin used to be mined by GPU miner, but later scrypt's algorithm was also conquered by ASIC chips, such as ant miner L3 +, which is the ASIC miner used to dig Leyte coin
ASIC miner refers to the miner that uses ASIC chip as the core of computing power. ASIC is the abbreviation of application specific integrated circuit, which is a kind of electronic circuit (chip) specially designed for a specific purpose. Some mining machinery factories have designed ASIC chips specially for computing the sha256 algorithm of bitcoin, and the mining machinery using them is ASIC mining machinery. Because ASIC chip is only built for specific computing, its efficiency can be much higher than that of CPU. For example, the current mainstream ant miner S9 is ASIC miner, which uses 189 ASIC chips, the computing power reaches 13.5th/s, and the power consumption is only 1350W. As a comparison, the computing power of gtx1080ti, the flagship computer graphics card, will not exceed 60mh / s even if it is optimized well. The difference is tens of thousands of times
GPU miner refers to the miner that uses GPU graphics card as the core of computing power. Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, bitcoin and diamond use graphics algorithms, so the speed of computing with graphics card will be the highest. Compared with ASIC miner, GPU miner is more well-known, because it is a computer with enhanced graphics card configurationthe purpose of GPU miner is to make money, so we should pursue the power consumption ratio and maximum profit, so we should pay attention to the cost performance. Generally, the medium and high-end positioning graphics cards, such as AMD rx560 and rx570, have high power consumption ratio, which is a good choice for GPU miner. While flagship cards such as gtx1080ti and AMD vega64 have the strongest single card performance, they are not cost-effective in terms of price and power consumption
in addition, the ASIC miner also has some exotic procts, such as the USB miner of burning cat, which is slightly larger than the U disk, and the power consumption is only 2.25w, which is the smallest bitcoin miner at present

1. Mining can not only proce bitcoin, but also guarantee transaction information
similarly, a mathematical system contains 21 million mathematical problems, so we need to constantly seek the special solution of each mathematical problem through a huge amount of calculation. In addition, the special solution is unique
mining can not only increase the supply of bitcoin money, but also protect the security of bitcoin transactions and prevent fraulent transactions. In terms of process, bitcoin network is a point-to-point payment system, and anyone can trade through the transaction program
in order to ensure that the transaction process is truthfully recorded, the role of "miner" is required to be responsible for recording bitcoin transaction information. The time interval is 10 minutes. The best recorded transaction records among miners will be packaged and stored in a new block, and the corresponding miners will also receive a certain amount of bitcoin rewards
2. The mining process is extremely complex, which is beyond human power
the specific process is as follows. When a miner listens to the transaction, he will first verify the transaction information. The verified transactions will be recorded by miners and stored in their own database. There may be thousands of miners in the world doing the same thing, but every ten minutes, only one miner has the right to create a new block, so that the transaction information recorded by himself can be recognized and stored permanently
next, miners need to fight for the right to keep accounts. This is a competition of computing power. The core of this competition is to use computers to complete a large number of calculation tasks and find a super difficult random number. This random number is the special solution of the equation mentioned in the first paragraph. The miner who calculates the correct random number first wins. According to the rules of the game, the probability of a miner getting the accounting right is directly proportional to the proportion of his computing power in the total computing power of the whole network. In other words, the probability of finding the random number is equivalent to throwing out 100 million dice, and the total number of dice is less than 150 million. Therefore, mining requires a large number of computers, installation of specific algorithm software, repeated operation day and night, not human
3. Bitcoin mining is actually "villagers' bookkeeping"
maybe some netizens still don't understand, let's take an example. In a village, the villagers often borrow money from each other, even if they write a written document, there is a risk of default. Then, every time there is a loan behavior in the village, we will use the village trumpet to inform everyone that all the villagers (miners) will record all the transaction records in their own account books.

bitcoin is a string of code generated by an open-source P2P software, which we call cryptocurrency, e-currency and so on. Bitcoin is proced by mining. Generally speaking, bitcoin mining is to use your hardware to calculate the mathematical problems of sh265 algorithm, confirm network transactions, and ensure the security of the whole network system. As a reward, bitcoin system will give a certain amount of bitcoin reward according to the amount of computing power contributed by miners

mining is bitcoin. Bitcoin will be generated several times every other period of time, and whoever grabs it will own it. The computer connected to the bitcoin system is the tool "miner" for grabbing bitcoin. As for the issue of national recognition of bitcoin, simply speaking, it depends on the possible impact on the country< br />
it is recommended not to participate in investment,
in order to avoid losses caused by policy risks.
