bitcoin mining is a process that uses computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it
mining is an incentive process to record data in the bitcoin system. In the bitcoin system, indivial users have the right to pack blocks after calculating a specific hash value by using CPU or GPU to hash
and in order to reward this user for packing blocks, the system will give a certain amount of bitcoin as reward. Because this process is very similar to "mining" in real life, most people call this process mining. In addition to bitcoin, other electronic virtual currencies can also be obtained through mining rewards, such as Ethereum, Monroe and so on

mining risk:
1, currency security
the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin
2, system risk
system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income. However, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners
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
Mining bitcoin is also called mining. Starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique
in the metaphor of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of this equation system through a huge amount of calculation. This equation system is designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
bitcoin: also known as "bitcoin", is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods

shortcomings
first, the vulnerability of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities
Second, the transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed Thirdly, the price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading Fourthly, the public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthlessas we all know, bitcoin is generated by a network node after completing the calculation of specific mathematical problems, and with the passage of time, the generation of bitcoin will be slower and slower. With the discovery of data blocks, unlocking a single block will be more and more complex, but the bitcoin will be less and less. Unless you use circuits or computer systems designed for mining, such as GPU computing, it's hard to quickly mine bitcoin - and these systems, in general, consume a lot of power< A computer used for mining bitcoin is very expensive in electricity and body.
the tracking results of foreign institutions on bitcoin data show that bitcoin miners use 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity every day - yes, 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity, which costs US $150000 in total to mine bitcoin. At the current exchange rate, the daily income of miners is about 470000 US dollars, but the majority of the income is not attributable to ordinary people like you and me. Most of these benefits are taken away by people who have built a special mining system. If ordinary users use ordinary computers to dig bitcoin, the benefits can't catch up with the electricity bill
as an emerging e-currency, bitcoin is not as easy to dig as it used to be, and its market prospect is difficult to determine.
