M-chain of bitcoin mining machine
bitcoin is equivalent to digital gold. As a generally recognized equivalent, gold naturally has monetary properties and has been regarded as a kind of currency since ancient times. Bitcoin was born in 2009 and created by a person named Nakamoto. As the earliest digital currency, it was worthless at the beginning of creation. Until 2017, the highest transaction price of bitcoin exceeded 30000 RMB. The reasons why bitcoin became a valuable digital currency are as follows:
first of all, it is like gold, as a natural mineral, The total amount of bitcoin is limited. Bitcoin can not be over issued according to its own algorithm, so there will be no rapid devaluation of currency e to excessive currency issuance. The number of bitcoin is controlled to no more than 21 million e to the algorithm, so it can not be issued in large quantities, so its value is guaranteed

but what I want to emphasize is that bitcoin mining is now a very professional instry. Although ordinary people can dig, the cost is much higher than that of professional mining, so it's better to buy money directly.
Bitcoin mining machine is a kind of computer used to earn bitcoin. This kind of computer generally has professional mining chips and works in the way of burning graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. It is one of the ways to get bitcoin that users download software from personal computer and then run specific algorithm to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote server
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment, and a competition of computing power among miners. Miners with more computing power are more likely to dig bitcoin. With the increase of computing power in the whole network, it is more and more difficult to dig bits with traditional devices (CPU, GPU). People have developed chips specially used for mining. Chip is the core part of mining machine. The process of chip operation will proce a lot of heat, in order to cool down, bitcoin miner is generally equipped with heat sink and fan
bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. Bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware. Miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by miners, so the competition for mining is very fierce
bitcoin mining started with low-cost hardware such as CPU or GPU, but with the popularity of bitcoin, the mining process has changed greatly. Nowadays, the mining activities are transferred to the field programmable gate array, and the hash speed can be achieved through optimization. The mining efficiency of this mode is very high
The most advanced bitcoin mining machine, one to two years to dig out a bitcoin, bitcoin mining is now too difficult. If you want to dig, you can dig ether currency. Now it is steadily appreciating every day. According to the current development trend, it will be able to recover its capital in about seven months, and then it will be profitable< br />
The bitcoin mining machine downloads the mining software and then runs a specific algorithm to get the corresponding bitcoin after communicating with the remote server, so as to obtain the bitcoin
any computer can become a mining machine, but the benefit will be relatively low, and it may not be able to dig a bitcoin in ten years. Many companies have developed professional bitcoin mining machines, which are equipped with special mining chips, and their computing speed is tens or hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary computers
bitcoin miners can neither increase their rewards by cheating, nor deal with the fraulent transactions that destroy the bitcoin network, because all bitcoin nodes will reject the blocks containing invalid data that violate the bitcoin protocol rules. Therefore, even if not all bitcoin miners can be trusted, the bitcoin network is still secure
extended data:
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
anyone can run software on specialized hardware and become a bitcoin miner. Mining software monitors transaction broadcast through P2P network and performs appropriate tasks to process and confirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners can earn transaction fees paid by users to speed up transaction processing and additional bitcoin issued according to fixed formula
System). In this system, the concept of single miner no longer exists, but the concept of mole cluster
taking Avalon 40 nm mole as an example, each mole has 295g computing power. According to the actual situation of the mine site, power supply and heat dissipation, users can freely choose to stack 1-40 moles (corresponding to about 0.3t-12t computing power) into a computing power cluster unit, which can be controlled by one terminal, one network cable and one IP address. Revolutionary technological innovation has raised the flexibility and simplicity of mine layout to an unprecedented level.
2 after successful registration, we will see a message like "your account has been successfully registered and logged in!" on the web page, It means that we have successfully registered and logged in
3 we can click the "dashboard" button in the upper left corner to see the whole monitoring status of the account
note: in this monitoring dashboard, we are most concerned about "total earnings", which is the bitcoin earned by our current account. In the future, as long as we open the website and enter the monitoring dashboard, we can see the relevant information of our account
4 next, please click "Settings" in the navigation bar of the page. In the settings page, we can set the e-mail address, bit wallet address, change the password, etc.
5 if we set the e-mail address in the account, if we forget the password or steal it in the future, we can restore the password through the set e-mail. First, enter our common email address in the "email address" column, and then click the "change" button
6. Next, a confirmation email will be displayed on the page to confirm that it has been sent to our previously set email
7. Then we open our email and find the email sent by BTC guide. Click the confirmation link, and then the page will show that our email has been successfully set
8. If we set email in the account setting, we can also set email notification for the behavior of mining miners. Find the "idle warnings" column on the setting page, click the drop-down list, select the time when you want to send the email, and then click the "change" button on the right. When we set 10 minutes later, if a miner stops mining, the system will automatically send a notification email to our email after 10 minutes. After receiving the email, we knew that the miner was on strike
9 in addition, we are more concerned about the "bitcoin wallet", that is, the wallet address. You don't need to set this address first. It's not too late for me to fill in when I really get bitcoin
10 after the account is set up, we need to set "worker". What is a worker? This is the login account name we will use later on the bitcoin mining client. The system will create a miner name for us by default. The miner name is composed of our registered account name, an underline and a number. For example, our registered account is XXX, and the first miner's name is "XXX"_ 1 "
11 if we want to set multiple miner names, enter a number such as" 2 "in the" create worker "column, and then click the" create "button to add a new miner's account name
12 in the worker settings page, we can also set the mining payment mode of the mine account separately. Payment method, i.e. mining payment method. There are two types to choose from, PPS and PPLNs. The difference lies in the mining mode and handling charge. The handling charge of PPS is 7.5%, while that of PPLNs is 3%. The system adopts PPLNs by default. If you want to change it, please click the "change" button under the payment method
13 in addition, we can also choose the difficulty of mining mode. If our computer has multiple graphics card GPUs or some special machines, we can set the miner's account name under the minimum difficulty
Step 2, download the mining client software
1 after we complete the registration setting, Next, please click "support" in the page navigation menu, and we will see the download link of the client< There are two types of mining client software:
bfgminer: command line operation interface, which can be downloaded directly
cgminer: it is also operated in the command line format, but the download steps are too complicated
let's take bfgminer as an example and click download as shown in the figure
2 then it will jump to the download page of mining tools. There are two formats of mining tools, one is 32-bit system, the other is 64 bit system. According to the number of system bits, download the corresponding tool version
3. The client size of mining tool is less than 5m, which is a zip compressed file. When the download is complete, locate and open the file. Click the right mouse button and select the "" option
4 here, I take paste extraction to the desktop as an example
Step 3, mining client software detailed settings
1 after opening the mining directory, double-click to open the "bfgminer" file under the directory
2 next, look at the BFG minier window and enter the address of the mine pool at the URL. The pool address can be seen in the BTC guide's support page, such as stratum. Btcguild com:3333 , press enter key
3, and then enter the miner's name set on BTC guide website after the user name, press enter key
4, and then enter at will in the password, as shown in the figure
5. Finally, you can see that many numbers are changing, It means mining. It is worth noting that the places marked in the figure indicate the speed of the current machine button
6 in addition to the current mining speed on the mining client software, we can also see the specific mining speed of each miner in the "active worker summary" list on the "dashboard" page of BTC guide website
7 If you want to close the mining tool, you can directly x drop it, You can also directly press the Q key to exit. If you want to open more, you can open another mining tool in the BFG miner directory< Step 4: cgminer command line client software
1 if you really want to mine, the official recommends that we use "cgminer", that is, to run it at the command prompt. Click "support" on BTC guide page, then click "cgminer" download link page, select the corresponding system version
2, then jump to cgminer download page and click the link as shown in the figure
3 and then select a version of cgminer. Here I download a Windows version as an example.
4 take the Windows version of cgminer as an example. After the download, unzip it to the computer.
5 open the cgminer directory, find "cgminer"
6. Double click "cgminer" with the mouse, and a command-line window will pop up, prompting us to enter the URL address of the connection server. Enter "stratum. Btcguild com:3333 ”, press the Enter key on the keyboard
7, and then prompt us to enter "user name", that is, the account name of the miner. Press the Enter key on the keyboard
8, and then enter the password. Press the Enter key on the keyboard
9, and wait for a moment, When the client and the service establish a connection, the machine will start mining
10 to quit mining, please press the "Q" key on the keyboard in the window
tools / raw materials
PC with independent graphics card
precautions
if you are using cgminer, the graphics card must support the display of general computing standard, otherwise you will not be able to mine.
Although many investors know nothing about bitcoin mining, they still can't resist the temptation of bitcoin price and plan to invest in the mining army. So if you also want to mine, I believe you will have a question in your heart: "what is a bitcoin miner? What is the principle of bitcoin mining machine? " To solve this problem, let's remember some popular science today
origin of bitcoin
to fully understand the origin of bitcoin, we have to mention the existing financial system
bitcoin mining machine specially used for mining. The popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Leyte coin, zeta coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin, pole coin, BBQ coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world
with the orderly implementation of cashless society, banknotes will inevitably disappear in the long river of history with the passage of time. The future digital currency is believed to be similar to bitcoin, but it is by no means a limited supply. But when the human ability to proce wealth can be completely matched by the computing power of the computer, the issuing speed of e-money is directly proportional to or slightly exceeds the computing speed of the computer to create moderate inflation. In the future, while mining, it is also creating value rather than wasting electricity. In the end, the small changes in proctivity of digital currency match the difficulty of computing power, which may be the final form of human currency
