How much computing power does a bitcoin need a day

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

21.5 * 3600 seconds * 24 hours = 1857600 M / day
1857600 / 1024 / 1024 = 1.7715 T / day
a t of computing power / day can dig bitcoin worth 4.03 yuan
1.7715 * 4.03 = 7.14 yuan / day

since 2017, bitcoin has reached new heights. Yesterday (May 23), the value of bitcoin broke through the ￥ 16000 mark, hyping virtual currency, becoming a matter that the general public can participate in, And a little bit of technical level, both fried money, but also began to have the technical content of mining

as we all know, virtual currency has a numerical peak, the more difficult it is to dig. In fact, it's hard to judge whether to lose money or not if we continue to dig. Therefore, in the end how to dig, dig what can be the fastest back to this, this paper studies the above two core issues based on the current market situation

It's about 37 yuan

let me first introce the reward mechanism of bitcoin system

bitcoin can basically dig out a block every 10 minutes through system settings. The reward for each block is given to the miners who dig out the block. The miner who digs out the block is called the block miner. The block miner will record the legal transactions in the bitcoin network to the blockchain, so that the miner can receive the service charge for bookkeeping

there are two parts in the reward for the block Miner: one part is the reward given by the system, which is called coinbase reward (also known as system issuance reward), the other part is the reward for bookkeeping, which is called miner's fee. The coinbase reward started with 50 bitcoins. For every integral multiple of 210000 blocks, the coinbase reward will be halved. This is what we often hear about bitcoin mining reward halved in four years

at the present stage, the reward of coinbase is 12.5 bitcoins. At the present stage, the average transaction miner fee received by miners for digging out a block is about 0.1 bitcoin (not fixed), that is to say, the average reward received by miners for digging out a block is about 12.6 bitcoin

about 99% of miners' rewards come from the system's coinbase rewards. According to the bitcoin system, one block can be g out every 10 minutes on average. The number of new blocks that can be g out in one day is 144 (60 * 24 / 10 = 144). At present, the number of bitcoins that can be g out every day is 1800btc (144 * 12.5btc = 1800btc). With the miner's fee of about 0.1btc per block, the total reward for all miners in one day is about 1814.4btc

For example

a 4-sheet R9 280x graphics card miner. About 2.9m
power consumption:

the rated power of each graphics card is about 250W, and slightly overclocking is about 300W. Four graphics cards, 1200W
platform: motherboard, CPU, hard disk, etc., which add up to no more than 200W
display, mining machine is basically no display

the total power is about 1400W. 33.6 degrees a day
if the caption is only for ordinary household desktop computers, it is not easy to calculate, because the key is the power consumption of the graphics card. The power consumption of ordinary graphics card is about 150W. And then add the others according to 200W, a total of 350W. 4.2 degrees a day

At present, bitcoin needs to be g by professional mining machines. 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

according to the current speed and the number of bitcoins, it will take three months to get a bitcoin if a computer is kept in a 24-hour state of operation

extended data:

because the current bitcoin mines use special bitcoin mining machines to mine. The computing power of an ant S9 miner is 13.5th/s, which is equivalent to the sum of the computing power of 7500 1080ti graphics cards. A medium-sized mine has hundreds of such miners

the instry of bitcoin is not very good either, so you'd better not dream of becoming rich overnight with bitcoin. Now many countries have issued policies to suppress the rise of bitcoin prices. Some countries even refuse to dig bitcoin. Many bankers and economists are disgusted with the emergence of bitcoin
