Briefly describe the process of bitcoin mining
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client
after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
extended information:
as a virtual commodity, bitcoin itself has no national boundaries, and its operation mode is a "decentralized" monetary system, which is very convenient for one-time large transaction. Bitcoin is traded through the network, and the owner's identity is only in the form of a set of encrypted computer code
in the operation, input a digital address directly, click the mouse a few times, and wait for the confirmation of the transaction to complete the transaction. The network can only record which address a bitcoin was g up from and how it was transferred
however, the identity of the owners of these addresses can not be verified, which is just like when money goes to an ownerless bank account, the relevant transactions can easily be invisible from the perspective of government supervision, and it is difficult to be tracked or intercepted. In addition, bitcoin can evade the scrutiny of exchange control institutions required by normal cross-border remittance, and the transaction records will not be recorded by banks and other parties
naturally, the problem of reporting to relevant departments after the transaction exceeds a certain amount is avoided. Buy bitcoin with domestic currency, sell it on foreign trading platforms, and withdraw it in US dollars. Asset transfer can be completed in a few minutes
it is not difficult to open an overseas bank account related to bitcoin for foreign exchange, and the conversion is very convenient. Because of these characteristics, bitcoin has been chosen by criminal organizations
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
extended data:
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 worthlessthe content of this article comes from: financial code of the people's Republic of China: application edition, China Law Press
Bitcoin mining is a process of using computer hardware to do mathematical calculation for bitcoin network to confirm transactions and improve security
is like the game currency of online games
mining machine
is just like the plug-in of auto swiping game currency
