Does bitcoin mining cost money
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
Development:
1. Bitcoin (bitcoin) is a kind of network virtual currency, which can buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals. In 2013, the U.S. government recognized the legal status of bitcoin, making the price of bitcoin soar. In China, on November 19, 2013, a bitcoin was equivalent to 6989 yuan
2. On January 7, 2014, Taobao announced that it would ban the sale of Internet virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin from January 14. West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe; On February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that relevant institutions would pay attention to the current situation of bitcoin encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency. On January 11, 2017), the Shanghai headquarters of the people's Bank of China and the Shanghai Municipal Finance Office carried out on-site inspection of bitcoin China.
the investment of bitcoin should be in two aspects in its present form, a bitcoin is worth tens of thousands of yuan. But because there are fewer and fewer bitcoin data codes, you need more time and more cost to get bitcoin. You know, the lowest price of a bitcoin miner is 3000 yuan. And because bitcoin has to do a lot of calculations to get a bitcoin miner to operate for a long time. In addition to the cost of these mining machines, site costs and electricity charges. It's hard to make money
unless you don't invest in mining machines, you invest in some illegal software. Let these illegal software invade other people's computers and mobile phones. Other people's computers and mobile phones do a lot of bitcoin computing and mining. In this way, the cost of mining machine, electricity, flow, heat dissipation and so on are saved. But we need to know that this is a violation of national laws. This will also allow other people's mobile phones to carry out a lot of calculations after power on, encroach on other people's memory, and make other people's mobile phones scrapped earlier
mining is a technical activity, which tests the performance of CPU and GPU. Now on the market, the machine specially optimized for the calculation algorithm of the generation of bitcoin is the miner. At present, it takes about 16000 to buy a state-of-the-art S9 miner on 58btc. There are also special management services, which can save all kinds of troubles. If the owner wants to buy a miner on a certain treasure and do it by himself, he is advised not to dig. You know the reason.
Recently, the price of bitcoin continued to rise, reaching a maximum of US $41000. According to Mr. Liu, the manager of the mine, recently some customers have asked for additional orders, but the output of the mining machinery manufacturers is insufficient and they can't get a large number of mining machinery. Now they have to wait five months or more. Most of his customers have increased their positions in the middle of this year. At present, the prices of mainstream mining machines vary from 30000 to 60000, Mining takes about 12 months to recover the cost
therefore, if people really have mining ideas, they should not be dazzled by the impulse of the moment, and they should try to do it slowly. Today, the price of bitcoin continues to rise, largely because many mainstream investment institutions or investors begin to be interested in digital assets and begin to hoard bitcoin
bitcoin investment has great risks, the phenomenon of sharp rise and fall is not uncommon, and there are not a few people who have lost all their money. Therefore, it is not advisable to follow blindly and keep calm in investment
{rrrrrrr}
extended data
bitcoin plummeted by more than 10%:
earlier on January 11, bitcoin once fell to $37000 / piece, the lowest to $35141, and the biggest drop in the day was more than 10%. According to the data of bitcoin home.com, the amount of burst positions in the past 24 hours reached US $1.165 billion (about RMB 7.530 billion), and a total of 115138 people burst positions within 24 hours
for the sudden drop, some netizens said: "what should come will come.". Cautious investors said that such a high position, I first clearance, short about
to see what others say.
- - talking about the mining cost of bitcoin -
the first thing to consider is the cost if you want to make money. If the profit is greater than the cost, it is worth doing. We all know how much bitcoin costs, so let's calculate the cost
1. Mining machine cost: the "number" of bitcoin is a problem-solving process, which can't be calculated by human brain alone. Therefore, mining people need to buy mining machines and keep calculating. The more mining machines, the stronger the computing power
2. Electricity charges: mining machines are big consumers of high power. How much electricity does it consume? Let's put it this way. At present, the electricity consumption of bitcoin and Ethereum mining has surpassed Jordan, Iceland, Libya and other small countries, ranking 71st among all countries and regions in the world. You want to cry when electricity is expensive
3. The rent of the place where the mining machine is placed: because the mining machine consumes a lot of electricity, the power supply load of ordinary residential buildings can not be guaranteed at all, so the mining must rent a commercial site separately, and the rent is much more expensive than that of ordinary residential buildings
4. Operation cost: in order to ensure the computing power, the high-power mining machine needs to work 24 hours, which requires someone to maintain it at any time. When the mining machine is in trouble, the cost of hiring someone is required; At the same time, the mining machine is very delicate. If it is too hot or too cold, the vegetables will be stopped. Therefore, the measures of cold air and cold water insulation are needed to help the mining machine run. This is another expense
5. Mining machine update cost: because bitcoin is becoming more and more difficult to dig, the machine that was able to dig a month ago may not be able to dig anything today, and the market will also launch mining machines with greater computing power. The original mining machine is not worth money immediately. If you want to maintain computing power, you need to buy mining machines again
the above bitcoin mining costs all have a marginal effect, that is, the larger the volume is, the lower the corresponding cost will be. Therefore, some super large mines have been built
bitcoin g in the mine will enter the mine pool and be distributed by all participants. Large mines will be built in places where labor and electricity are cheap, such as Venezuela, the legendary miner's paradise, or Iceland, where the climate is favorable and electricity is cheap
as for the cost, everyone will be different. Let's take a look at an average: in 2017, according to the data of elite fixtures, a research institution, Venezuela is the cheapest of 115 mining countries, which is 513 US dollars, while South Korea is the most expensive, which is 26170 us dollars
China's mining cost is US $3172, which is relatively low among 115 countries. However, the cost is an average value. Large mines with low electricity prices must be much lower. If you are a lone ranger, the cost will rise sharply
in a word, if you really want to make money by mining, first of all, unless you are rich enough to build a mine with thousands of machines, you'd better join a mine to dig together. Although you have to share the money, it's still appropriate in the long run because it can greatly rece costs and improve computing power
secondly, whether you dig by yourself or join the mine, you must choose the place with low electricity cost, and the city with abundant hydropower resources is preferred, because hydropower is the cheapest source of power generation in China at present.
