Mining CPU works, graphics card doesn't work

1. bitcoin was acquired by CPU in the early days, e to different working methods. CPU is mainly to do full-function operation, the number of core is small, and the operation ability is limited (GPU is a very large number of operation core for special operation). With the advantages of GPU general computing and the continuous development of GPU speed, miners graally began to use GPU instead of CPU for mining. Bitcoin mining uses SHA-256 hash operation, which will carry out a large number of 32-bit integer cyclic right shift operation. Interestingly, this algorithm operation can be implemented by a single hardware instruction in AMD GPU, while it needs three hardware instructions to simulate in NVIDIA GPU. This one alone brings an additional 1.7 times of computing efficiency advantage for AMD GPU. With this advantage, amd GPU is favored by the majority of miners. At present, it has left GPU computing. At present, miners have begun to widely use integrated circuit (ASIC) mining machine. Although this kind of mining machine can only be used to dig bitcoin, other currencies can not be used yet, but a single mining machine can reach the level of megabytes, especially loved by mine owners in Sichuan, Guizhou and other regions. Tens of thousands of professional mining machines are in full swing, and retail investors are unlikely to get bitcoin in the face of such powerful computing power.

2. Theoretically, both CPU and GPU operations can be mined
in the early days of the advent of a virtual currency, it was relatively easy to mine. Maybe a CPU with strong enough performance could easily mine the currency
as it becomes more and more difficult to dig money, the CPU has already been unable to cope with the huge computing power required for mining, and the terrible performance of the large-scale stream processor parallel computing in the GPU core of the graphics card is more suitable for mining this kind of parallel computing
therefore, today's professional mining machinery has become the world of GPU and professional chips, in which CPU plays the most coordinating role. Moreover, with the increase of mining difficulty, the demand for the display memory capacity of the mine card is higher and higher. A few years ago, 2-3gb was enough, but now 6GB may not be enough.

3. Copied:
in short, mining is to use the chip to carry out a calculation related to the random number, and get the answer in exchange for a virtual coin. 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. It's possible that one chip will find the answer in the next second, or ten chips won't find the answer in a week. The more chips compute at the same time, the easier it is to find the answer, and the mining machine with built-in multi chips appears. And a number of mining machines to form a "mine" at the same time mining is to improve efficiency. In the mine pool, multiple "self-employed" join an organization to mine together. No matter who finds the answer and digs out the virtual coin, everyone gets the corresponding reward according to the calculation ability of contribution. This way can make the income of "self-employed" more stable
take a popular example:
I write a string of numbers on a piece of paper and give some hints. Whoever guesses correctly will be given a bonus (mining)
smart people can make more guesses (calculation ability)
some people pay money to invite many people to come back and guess together (mining)
some people call everyone together to guess, no matter who guesses, Distribute the bonus (mine pool) according to the proportion of guessing times of each person
the rest is too long, you can search by yourself...

4. In other words, the task of BTC only needs some specific transistors to execute

the CPU is used to perform mining tasks. Because the CPU needs many transistors to execute various instructions, many transistors are idle in a cycle. The speed is slow and normal

In order to enhance the ability of displaying images, the graphics card saves many transistors which have nothing to do with the display function, so the graphics card can only display pictures, but it is much faster than the CPU in the task of displaying pictures. BTC needs to perform the same tasks as the graphics card, so the mining of the graphics card is faster than the CPU, So a card is more suitable for mining

5. CPU can also be used for mining. The CPU was used in the earliest mining. However, with the in-depth study of mining algorithms, miners found that mining is a relatively simple but repetitive operation process. The key to improving mining efficiency is to improve the efficiency of multi task processing, and the characteristics of CPU are not suitable for such operations. On the contrary, the graphics card has thousands of stream processors. It is better at mining this simple but repetitive work than CPU. Therefore, the graphics card is widely used in mining.

ADA, known as IDA coin in Chinese, is the proct of Cardano project. Cardano project was launched in 2015, and its name comes from Italian mathematician Gerolamo Cardano in the 16th century. Cardano is a doctor, astrologer, philosopher and gambler. He used astrology to predict his death, and it is said that he finally committed suicide on the same day. ADA is named after ADA levea, a British aristocrat in the 19th century. She is known as the first programmer in human history

the total amount of Aida coins issued is 4.5 billion, and the planned financing scale is 60 million US dollars. The project is divided into four phases of crowdfunding. So far, crowdfunding has been completed

It will take about 24 years to proce three blocks per minute until all of them are released

8. Introction: IDA coin, ADA in English, is the proct of Cardano project. The total amount of Aida is 4.5 billion yuan, and 3 billion yuan will participate in the subscription. Among them, 2.5 billion ADA will be used for platform subscription, 500 million for the financial support of the development company's operating company, and 1.5 billion ADA coins will continue to be issued in the form of block awards< < br > issue time: 2015 < br > maximum supply: US $4.5 billion ADA < br > total circulation: 25927070538ada < br > market value: US $10302510384
