Is bitcoin special computer equipment expensive

at present, the computing power of bitcoin in the whole network has reached 2.36 billion hash collisions per second, which is equivalent to the number of water droplets in more than 200000 50 meter long standard swimming pools. But even with such a large amount of computing power, it will take about 10 minutes to hit a hash value that meets the requirements

in 2012, bitcoin's output was halved for the first time, and in July 2016, bitcoin's output was halved for the second time. At present, 12.5 bitcoins are awarded for recording one page of account book. The next halving will take place around 2020, and the total number of bitcoins will not increase by 2040, with a total of 21 million. In other words, the difficulty of digging bitcoin is increasing, while the time required is increasing

At present, the mining machines in the market are mainly divided into two categories, one is PC based mining machine, the other is professional mining machine based on ASIC chip

the general PC mining machine can be used as a home computer, but the CPU performance is weak and the power consumption is high. Professional mining machine based on ASIC chip can not be used as ordinary computer because it has no graphics card and does not support mainstream desktop operating system

extended data:

mining machine is one of the ways to obtain Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency proced by open source P2P software. It doesn't rely on a specific currency institution to issue, but is generated by a large number of calculations of a specific algorithm. It uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions economically. The decentralized nature of P2P and the algorithm itself can ensure that the currency value cannot be manipulated by mass proction

any computer can become a mining machine, but the profit will be relatively low, and there may not be one in ten years. Many companies have developed professional mining machines, which are equipped with special mining crystal. They are tens or hundreds of times higher than ordinary computers

mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. The mining machine composed of many graphics cards, even if it is just a garbage card like hd6770, can surpass the single graphics card of most users in terms of computing power

and this is not the most terrible. Some mining machines are made up of more such graphics card arrays. When dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards come together, the graphics card itself costs money. Considering the hardware price and other costs, there are considerable expenses in mining

in addition to the display card burning machine, some ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) professional mining machines are also put into the battlefield. ASIC is specially designed for hash operation. Although the performance may not be able to kill the display card in seconds, it is already quite strong. Moreover, because their power consumption is far lower than that of the display card, it is easier to form scale and the electricity cost is also lower, It is difficult to compete with these excavators. And this kind of machine will be more expensive

Bitcoin miner is the equipment for bitcoin mining. The miner can be used as an ordinary computer

bitcoin miner can be USB miner or professional ASIC miner. It's true that bitcoin can be mined with ordinary computer CPU, but it's difficult for indivials to find bitcoin with ordinary computer

First of all, if the home computer is used to calculate bitcoin, even if the configuration is high, it will take several days to dozens of days. It may come out with a string of effective bitcoin (that is, bitcoin), and then it can be traded through the market of circulating bitcoin

special bit code operation requires a lot of graphics resources, so there are so-called mining machines, as shown in the figure below

this is a miner, which is specially used for mining. Such a miner may not be able to dig a bitcoin a day; The price of a mining machine is at least about 20000 RMB, and mining is a very power consuming project. All the graphics cards are running with full load, and the electricity charge will be very high

so don't blindly follow this kind of thing, it's not something that ordinary people can dig up with their home computers

How to dig bitcoin:

1. The wealth myth of bitcoin

in the Internet world, bitcoin must be the most attractive. Its wealth effect is too terrible< Bitcoin, which was born in 2007, has risen from being worthless at the beginning to being priceless now, but it's only 10 years when bitcoin was at its peak, it was 140000 yuan, which was beyond people's expectation. Although it's down now, it's as high as 50000 yuan a piece, more than a year's salary for many people. The huge wealth effect of bitcoin makes many people plan to use ordinary desktop computers to dig bitcoin and make a fortune

as ordinary people, we don't need to use ordinary desktop computers to dig bitcoin to make a fortune! For ordinary people, it's not going to work. Only professional & lt; Miner & quot; Use professional & lt; Mining machinery;, Just can barely mix a meal< it's bitcoin speculators who really make money for example, claim & lt; There are too many leeks in the coin ring. If you don't cut them white, don't cut them; I'm looking for someone. If you really want to earn 39.93 yuan more every day, you might as well consider other ways, such as writing about we media. There are many ways to make money, so there is no need to choose bitcoin
