Can individuals dig up bitcoin

1. As a blockchain researcher, many new people often ask this question. In fact, there are two main ways to obtain bitcoin. The first is to purchase bitcoin directly from the corresponding digital currency exchange; The second is to mine for bitcoin

first of all, mining is the main way to obtain bitcoin, but the current threshold of mining is relatively high. If you choose to mine by yourself, first you need to understand certain technology, then download the bitcoin client and mine by yourself according to the online bitcoin mining tutorial
however, in theory, bitcoin can still be mined with computers or graphics cards. However, e to the development of mining instry in recent years, the whole network computing power of bitcoin is extremely terrible (more than supercomputers), so if you want to mine with computers or graphics cards, you can't find bitcoin, If you want to dig bitcoin, you still need to buy mining machines. Now the better mainstream mining machines in the market have to be tens of thousands. Of course, there are cheap second-hand mining machines, but these second-hand mining machines are all obsolete ones, and the electricity cost of mining is relatively high

in addition to the second way of direct purchase, the digital currency exchange is a special place for bitcoin trading. If you want to own a bitcoin, you can buy it directly with money. However, it should be noted that there are many digital currency exchanges in the market at present. Many small exchanges are specialized in cutting users and eating customer losses for a living. Therefore, when choosing an exchange, it is better to focus on the head exchange. For example, Hufu exchange, one of the leading exchanges in China, has been in use for nearly two years and is still very stable and safe.

You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years

the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin

in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned

extended data:

bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system

bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer

when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25

when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

3. Bitcoin's 17 year high has reached $20000

4.

Just now, as of 23:00 on March 3, bitcoin is now 71976 RMB. At the beginning, when I knew it was very expensive, I also asked this question, how to dig this thing

many mining machines with large amount of calculation will proce a lot of heat in the operation, so they need to consume a lot of electricity for cooling

of course, mining can also be carried out on a small scale with a few mining machines. At this time, you can join the mine to dig with everyone. No matter who digs in the mine, everyone will distribute according to the speed of throwing dice, which can ensure a more stable income

at present, there are many people digging bitcoin, so they have high requirements for the computing power of mining machines. At present, it costs thousands of dollars to dig a bitcoin. Therefore, we should not blindly evaluate the income risk before making a decision

On the front of the coin are printed "people's Bank of China", "1 yuan", Chinese phonetic alphabet "Yiyuan" and "2004" year number; The pattern on the back is children and the Chinese Zodiac elements, and "Jiashen" is printed below

in order to welcome the arrival of Jiashen year of the lunar calendar, the people's Bank of China announced on January 6, 2004 to issue a set of commemorative coins to celebrate the new year of the monkey. The front of the coin consists of Chinese and English characters of "1 yuan" and the year number of "people's Bank of China" and "2004" above the inner edge. On the back of it is a picture of a little boy wearing traditional Chinese clothes flying a "Kite" happily. Now the market price is about tens of yuan

According to the current computing power of the whole network, it takes 54436.5t of computing power to dig a bitcoin 24 hours, that is, one bitcoin a day< it requires 746 mining machines with the latest 73t capacity on the market to work together for 24 hours

the cost of mining mainly includes (mining machine cost / power cost). Now the latest miner is 22650 yuan, a miner consumes 77 kwh per day. At present, the price of mining machinery on the market is about 0.36 yuan, 28 yuan per day. The cost of mining bitcoin = mining machine price (22650)

mining bitcoin requires a professional site "mine" to place mining machines. The construction cost of placing about 3000 mining machines in a small professional mine is about 300 watts

extended data

unable to mine at home

the noise of 60-80 decibels will be proced by the mining machine in the working process. Mining at home is not feasible, the miner needs 24 hours of endless operation, so the temperature of the miner will be very high, the maximum temperature can reach 80 degrees. Therefore, mining needs a good environment to rece the temperature. Household electricity and electricity charges are high, and the cost is higher than the income. In addition, mining has a certain degree of professionalism, professionals need to carry out certain operation and maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the mining machine

the key to rece the mining cost is to purchase mining machines in batches and low electricity charges. Professional mine is built to ensure the operation of mining machinery. At present, the mainstream mining machinery manufacturers are bitcontinental Technology Co., Ltd. in Beijing and Jianan Yun Technology Co., Ltd. in Hangzhou. Mining machinery is proced in the form of appointment in futures. It is difficult for indivials to buy Mining machinery in small quantities on the official website. After years of development, the mining machinery market has formed a complete instrial chain. The price of mining machinery fluctuates with the price of money, and the power resources are basically distributed in the cheap western region. Getting cheap electricity prices requires personal resource advantages

7. It can be, but it's not worth it. Bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. To put it bluntly, it is to use the computing performance of computer to do coolie for large servers, and the cost saved will be shared with you. But bitcoin is not cost-effective, and personal computers are not suitable for mining. The reasons are as follows:
1. The calculation is mainly done by GPU, while the GPU of ordinary computers is not very powerful, which directly leads to the low efficiency of mining, and even the electricity bill can not be recovered
2. Because it is the exchange of data on the network, not only the performance of the computer should be good enough, but also the bandwidth and quality of the network should be higher. If you were asked to build a 100 megabit broadband of Telecom before, would you be so interested
3. GPU will generate a lot of heat ring calculation. If it is not handled properly or the original radiator is very dirty, it may burn the GPU or computer, and the gain will not be worth the loss
4. The other is the impact of the environment. Let's not say where bitcoin is going, but that the exchange rate is seriously declining and there is no money to be made before. Professional mines are even processing equipment. It's obviously unreasonable to go mining at this time.

8. Bitcoin used to be very good at "digging", which could be completed by ordinary computer CPU, and it could automatically "solve problems" by downloading software. But with the rise of currency price, more and more people want to "solve the problem", and the difficulty of mining is also increasing. Now, the amount of computation needed to dig a bitcoin is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ordinary computers can't afford it.
