Why mining

1.

In short, mining is the use of chips for a random number related calculation, get the answer in exchange for a virtual currency. Virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer

In his paper, Nakamoto stated:

"in the absence of central authority, it not only encourages miners to support bitcoin network, but also enables bitcoin's currency circulation system to have the initial source of money injection."

Nakamoto compares the generation of bitcoin by consuming CPU power and time to the consumption of resources by gold mines to inject gold into the economy. Bitcoin mining and node software mainly initiates zero knowledge proof and verification transactions through peer-to-peer network, digital signature and interactive proof system

each network node concts broadcast transactions to the network. After these broadcast transactions are verified by miners (computers on the network), miners can use their own work proof results to express their confirmation. The confirmed transactions will be packaged into data blocks, and the data blocks will form a continuous data block chain

Nakamoto himself designed the first version of bitcoin mining program, which was later developed into the first generation of widely used mining software bitcoin, which was popular from 2009 to mid-2010

each bitcoin node will collect all the unconfirmed transactions and gather them into a data block. The miner node will add a random adjustment number and calculate the SHA-256 hash value of the previous data block. The mining node tries again and again until it finds the random adjustment number so that the hash value is lower than a specific target

extended data

at the earliest, bitcoin miners were mining through Intel or AMD CPU procts. But because mining is a computing intensive application, and with the continuous improvement of mining number and equipment performance, the difficulty graally increases, now using CPU mining has no profit or even loss

as of 2012, since the first quarter of 2013, miners graally began to use GPU or FPGA and other mining equipment [5]. At the same time, a large number of ASIC devices were launched in mid 2013

since July 2013, the computing power of the whole network has shown a straight-line rise e to the large number of ASIC equipment put into operation. Based on the average computing power in July 2013, all CPU mining equipment has been unable to generate positive revenue, and FPGA equipment is close to no revenue

according to the estimation of average computing power in September 2013, the existing small ASIC mining equipment developed for indivials will also be close to no positive revenue in the next 1-2 months. A large amount of computing power is monopolized by cluster ASIC mining equipment with 5 th ash / s or more. Because of no profit, indivial mining is almost squeezed out of mining groups. Some bitcoin miners have raised funds to build machine rooms and install a large number of mining equipment in places where low-cost electricity can be obtained

in order to save the cost of mining, some bitcoin miners make mining programs into malicious programs to infect other people's computers on the network to mine for themselves

2. Because it's not the ore that can't be mined

3. Mining is actually competing for the right to pack in the block
as tens of thousands of miners compete for the right to pack, the probability of a single miner seizing the right to pack is very small, and the output is very unstable. It is possible to grab the right once an hour or not once a year
in order to stabilize the mining output, miners often choose to join the mining pool. The mining pool integrates the computing power of a large number of miners and occupies a certain share in the total computing power of the whole network, so as to obtain a more stable mining output. After charging 2% ~ 4% of the pool handling charge, the output is distributed to the miners according to the miners' computing power
it's just like that it's hard for one person to win the lottery, so the mine pool organizes many people to buy the lottery together, and after winning the lottery, they are distributed to everyone according to the amount of contribution.

4. Mining software, from the programming principle, is about large-scale parallel computing
there are many stream processors in GPU of graphics card. For example, the old HD5770 has 800 stream processors, which is equivalent to 800 computing cores. In recent years, the mainstream high-end graphics card has more built-in stream processors and more powerful computing performance. Using GPU for mining operation, the stream processor is used for parallel operation, and the mining program also optimizes the GPU parallel operation, so the operation efficiency is particularly high, and the efficiency of bitcoin mining has been greatly improved
the number of CPU cores is relatively small. At present, the number of the most powerful mainstream desktop processor cores is no more than 10 or 20 (many are logic cores virtualized by hyper threading technology), and the parallel computing power is far less than that of GPU.

5. The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity

6. Because the electricity in the mountain is cheap, mining needs to consume a lot of electricity, and the ecological environment in the mountain is good, the air is fresh, the st is low, and the loss of mining machinery is reced. Mining machine mining noise, mountains can also avoid disturbing people, there are enough space to accommodate mining machine

8. Mining is a process of consuming computing resources to process transactions, ensuring network security and keeping everyone's information synchronized in the network. It can be understood as the data center of bitcoin. The difference lies in its completely decentralized design. Miners operate all over the world, and no one can control the network. This process is called "mining" because it is similar to gold panning, because it is also a temporary mechanism for issuing new bitcoin. However, unlike gold panning, bitcoin mining provides rewards for services that ensure the safe operation of payment networks. After the last bitcoin, mining is still necessary

mining is a proof mechanism.

9. Bitcoin < sup > [1] < / sup > (bitcoin) is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. Bitcoin is not issued by specific currency institutions, it is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions< Sup > [1] < / sup > bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency, with a limited number, similar to Tencent's Q currency, but can be used for cash: it can be converted into the currency of most countries. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system has no more than 10.5 million in the first four years, and the total number after that will be permanently limited to 21 million. Another point is that you can use computers to make bitcoin
