Bitcash mining tutorial

1. As a blockchain researcher, many new people often ask this question. In fact, there are two main ways to invest in bitcoin. The first is to buy bitcoin directly from the corresponding digital currency exchange; The second is to mine for bitcoin

first of all, mining is the main way to obtain bitcoin, but the current threshold of mining is relatively high. If you choose to mine by yourself, first you need to understand certain technology, then download the bitcoin client and mine by yourself according to the online bitcoin mining tutorial
however, in theory, bitcoin can still be mined with computers or graphics cards. However, e to the development of mining instry in recent years, the whole network computing power of bitcoin is extremely terrible (more than supercomputers), so if you want to mine with computers or graphics cards, you can't find bitcoin, If you want to dig bitcoin, you still need to buy mining machines. Now the better mainstream mining machines in the market have to be tens of thousands. Of course, there are cheap second-hand mining machines, but these second-hand mining machines are all obsolete ones, and the electricity cost of mining is relatively high

in addition to the second way of direct purchase, the digital currency exchange is a special place for bitcoin trading. If you want to own a bitcoin, you can buy it directly with money. However, it should be noted that there are many digital currency exchanges in the market at present. Many small exchanges are specialized in cutting users and eating customer losses for a living. Therefore, when choosing an exchange, it is better to focus on the head exchange. For example, Hufu, one of the head exchanges in China, I have been using it for nearly two years, and it is very stable and safe.

2. If you want to dig a mine, you should understand these first, and then decide whether to join the army of miners or not
as a miner, I used graphics card very early and then butterfly machine. At present, I use Avalon's 220 miner and just received a new 180 ant miner. To tell you the truth, mining is not as simple as you think. Here I will list some practical difficulties you need to face in mining. If you find that some of these items can't be solved and overcome for the time being, don't rush to buy a miner, because from the moment you buy, if you can't mine, Then you will face a real loss

first, list the problems to face
1, be able to accept the noise - the noise of the mining machine is very loud, which is equivalent to that you put the air conditioner outside the room
1-1, strong hands-on ability - the noise can be controlled to a certain extent by adding water cooling, but it needs to be done by yourself. The installation process of water cooling is not as simple as the online tutorial. It needs to be extremely careful. The capacitor on the logic board is easy to touch, and it must be successful at one time. Once the refrigerant is added, the machine will have problems again, It would be disastrous to dismantle the water cooling system
1-2, conditional repair of the chip capacitor - in the process of water cooling installation, the capacitor is easy to fall off, these chip capacitors are very difficult to weld
2, you can set up the network - you can't just plug in the Internet cable! Need to understand the routing, know how to change the IP of the router, mining IP is fixed, according to mining IP to do settings
2-1, you can get a fixed IP address - if you are mining in a company, you can't set up a route, so you must have the condition to get a fixed IP, and then set up your own network through this IP
3. The environment of continuous power supply and continuous network - mining is a 24-hour business. Don't take it for granted that a meeting is OK in one day. Many companies will cut off power at midnight. This must be made clear
3-1. In low temperature environment, in addition to 24-hour continuous power supply, there should also be a relatively cold environment. In actual mining, we can clearly feel the importance of temperature for mining<

let's assume two scenarios,
in the company:
if your working environment is very quiet, it is not suitable, even if water cooling is installed. If you are a senior blue collar, in the workshop, do you have the conditions to set up the network and get a fixed IP? If you can't, give up
at home:
can you stand noise? Can tolerate to a certain extent
is it possible to install water cooling? It can be installed conditionally
is it possible to set up a network? There are also conditions to set up the network
is it warm in that room? Yes, but you can open windows on the second bedroom or balcony
is it possible to pull the wire and the wiring board in the balcony? No problem
congratulations, you can buy a miner to dig it up, but if one of them doesn't work, you need to think carefully before making a decision
the above-mentioned points should not be taken as unimportant or major problems. For example, it is necessary to have the conditions to install water cooling, for example, in a lower temperature environment, for example, to have a fixed IP
when the miner starts to operate and makes a rumbling sound, if you are in the company, you have to turn it off awkwardly. If you are at home, you need to figure out how to explain to your family or girlfriend that the noise will exist for 24 hours, and hope they don't mind

if your home is warm, your miner will never be able to achieve the highest computing power it can. You must accept it calmly, don't be depressed, it's useless to find the seller. Unless you open the window to let in the cold air, you will find that you and the miner are so out of place. That's why laomaozi is very fond of mining< Make complaints about mobile phone, br / > and if you work hard to move the mine to the company, you may think that the electricity charge is in the whole province. You can't get the mine to connect. Then you can only move the mine to home or sell it as a second-hand machine...

these words are typed word by word by me. I hope it can help you. You must find out whether you are qualified to do this at present. As for how to dig, it's a very simple thing: buy a miner, register an account on a mining website, Download a multibit to store the bitcoin you get, and link the miner to the network for power on, Set up the network, give it the fixed IP specified on the chassis, use the computer to access the IP, make some simple settings, and then wait for the receipt
what else can I ask you

3. First, we need to find a stable bitcoin mine pool which is easy to operate, and then connect to the designated server to mine through the mining client software. Take "BTC guide" website as an example. First open this website and click the user registration on the left. The registration process is relatively simple. You can enter the English user name, password and confirmation password

2 after successful registration, we will see a message like "your account has been successfully registered and logged in!" on the web page, It means that we have successfully registered and logged in

3 we can click the "dashboard" button in the upper left corner to see the whole monitoring status of the account
note: in this monitoring dashboard, we are most concerned about "total earnings", which is the bitcoin earned by our current account. In the future, as long as we open the website and enter the monitoring dashboard, we can see the relevant information of our account
4 next, please click "Settings" in the navigation bar of the page. In the settings page, we can set the e-mail address, bit wallet address, change the password, etc.

5 if we set the e-mail address in the account, if we forget the password or steal it in the future, we can restore the password through the set e-mail. First, enter our common email address in the "email address" column, and then click the "change" button

6. Next, a confirmation email will be displayed on the page to confirm that it has been sent to our previously set email

7. Then we open our email and find the email sent by BTC guide. Click the confirmation link, and then the page will show that our email has been successfully set

8. If we set email in the account setting, we can also set email notification for the behavior of mining miners. Find the "idle warnings" column on the setting page, click the drop-down list, select the time when you want to send the email, and then click the "change" button on the right. When we set 10 minutes later, if a miner stops mining, the system will automatically send a notification email to our email after 10 minutes. After receiving the email, we knew that the miner was on strike

9 in addition, we are more concerned about the "bitcoin wallet", that is, the wallet address. You don't need to set this address first. It's not too late for me to fill in when I really get bitcoin

10 after the account is set up, we need to set "worker". What is a worker? This is the login account name we will use later on the bitcoin mining client. The system will create a miner name for us by default. The miner name is composed of our registered account name, an underline and a number. For example, our registered account is XXX, and the first miner's name is "XXX"_ 1 "
11 if we want to set multiple miner names, enter a number such as" 2 "in the" create worker "column, and then click the" create "button to add a new miner's account name

12 in the worker settings page, we can also set the mining payment mode of the mine account separately. Payment method, i.e. mining payment method. There are two types to choose from, PPS and PPLNs. The difference lies in the mining mode and handling charge. The handling charge of PPS is 7.5%, while that of PPLNs is 3%. The system adopts PPLNs by default. If you want to change it, please click the "change" button under the payment method
13 in addition, we can also choose the difficulty of mining mode. If our computer has multiple graphics card GPUs or some special machines, we can set the miner's account name under the minimum difficulty

Step 2, download the mining client software
1 after we complete the registration setting, Next, please click "support" in the page navigation menu, and we will see the download link of the client< There are two types of mining client software:
bfgminer: command line operation interface, which can be downloaded directly
cgminer: it is also operated in the command line format, but the download steps are too complicated
let's take bfgminer as an example and click download as shown in the figure
2 then it will jump to the download page of mining tools. There are two formats of mining tools, one is 32-bit system, the other is 64 bit system. According to the number of system bits, download the corresponding tool version

3. The client size of mining tool is less than 5m, which is a zip compressed file. When the download is complete, locate and open the file. Click the right mouse button and select the "" option
4 here, I take paste extraction to the desktop as an example
Step 3, mining client software detailed settings
1 after opening the mining directory, double-click to open the "bfgminer" file under the directory
2 next, look at the BFG minier window and enter the address of the mine pool at the URL. The pool address can be seen in the BTC guide's support page, such as stratum. Btcguild com:3333 , press enter key
3, and then enter the miner's name set on BTC guide website after the user name, press enter key
4, and then enter at will in the password, as shown in the figure
5. Finally, you can see that many numbers are changing, It means mining. It is worth noting that the places marked in the figure indicate the speed of the current machine button
6 in addition to the current mining speed on the mining client software, we can also see the specific mining speed of each miner in the "active worker summary" list on the "dashboard" page of BTC guide website
7 If you want to close the mining tool, you can directly x drop it, You can also directly press the Q key to exit. If you want to open more, you can open another mining tool in the BFG miner directory< Step 4: cgminer command line client software
1 if you really want to mine, the official recommends that we use "cgminer", that is, to run it at the command prompt. Click "support" on BTC guide page, then click "cgminer" download link page, select the corresponding system version
2, then jump to cgminer download page and click the link as shown in the figure
3 and then select a version of cgminer. Here I download a Windows version as an example.
4 take the Windows version of cgminer as an example. After the download, unzip it to the computer.
5 open the cgminer directory, find "cgminer"
6. Double click "cgminer" with the mouse, and a command-line window will pop up, prompting us to enter the URL address of the connection server. Enter "stratum. Btcguild com:3333 ”, press the Enter key on the keyboard
7, and then prompt us to enter "user name", that is, the account name of the miner. Press the Enter key on the keyboard

8, and then enter the password. Press the Enter key on the keyboard

9, and wait for a moment, When the client and the service establish a connection, the machine will start mining

10 to quit mining, please press the "Q" key on the keyboard in the window
tools / raw materials
PC with independent graphics card
precautions
if you are using cgminer, the graphics card must support the display of general computing standard, otherwise you will not be able to mine.

5. There is no advantage in personal mining, unless you have a place where you don't need electricity charges, and the price of mining machines fluctuates greatly. It also depends on the influence of bitcoin price and mining computing power

6. In 9012, anyone else made money by digging bitcoin? The currency price has fallen into a bear market. Mining has not made money for a long time. Now those who make money should go to bitnet exchange to register and make money by doing long and short.
