Dig for bitcoin

1.

bitcoin mining is a process that uses computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it

mining is an incentive process to record data in the bitcoin system. In the bitcoin system, indivial users have the right to pack blocks after calculating a specific hash value by using CPU or GPU to hash

and in order to reward this user for packing blocks, the system will give a certain amount of bitcoin as reward. Because this process is very similar to "mining" in real life, most people call this process mining. In addition to bitcoin, other electronic virtual currencies can also be obtained through mining rewards, such as Ethereum, Monroe and so on

extended data:

mining risk:

1, currency security

the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin

2, system risk

system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income. However, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners

2. Bitcoin, as a kind of network virtual currency, is very popular. Many people will "dig" bitcoin. Today, let's introce the mining tutorial of bitcoin
Step 1: prepare mining machines and pools
if you want to dig bitcoin, you must prepare professional equipment. At present, there are many professional mining machines on the market, and the pool is also essential. When you choose a pool, you should also compare the output and income gap of each pool, and then choose the most suitable one
Step 2: register and set the mine account
after the mine is ready, register the mine account and set a common email. When setting the mine account, each CPU or GPU needs to set a mine account
Step 3: download the bitcoin miner
after you register and set up your account, you need to download the bitcoin miner. When downloading the miner, be sure to choose the miner that can make your CPU and graphics card play the most function. After downloading, set the server, user name, password, device and so on
Step 4: Mining
after setting up the miner, click the "start mining" button, the miner will enter the state of full speed operation, and the miner will start mining automatically.

Bitcoin is actually a virtual currency. When bitcoin first appeared, if you want to get bitcoin, you have to get bitcoin through mining. Therefore, bitcoin mining appeared. But bitcoin mining is more and more difficult, so it is very difficult to get bitcoin now

so now many people use Haru miner digs Ethereum, Monroe and other virtual coins. Most importantly, BTC can be directly equivalent in the end

When bitcoin nodes connect with each other, they will get transactions they don't have from each other. But because bitcoin has accumulated a large number of transactions for a long time, it is very difficult for two nodes to compare which transactions you are missing / which transactions I am missing one by one

to solve this problem, Nakamoto Tsung invented the important technology of block chain. Nodes use blocks to synchronize transactions, which ensures the data consistency of all nodes, and ensures the uniqueness of the blockchain by competing for block packing rights (that is, mining)

① a block and blockchain
a packet formed by a transaction over a period of time is called a block. On average, bitcoin generates a block every 10 minutes, and each block is linked to the previous block to form a blockchain

② the transaction data is synchronized with the block as a unit
the block is numbered from 1, so after node a connects with node B, it is convenient to synchronize the transaction data as long as the block number height of both parties is checked. For example, if node A's own block height is 100 and node B's block height is 110, all it needs to do is request B to synchronize the 10 blocks 101-110<

③ reward for packed blocks
in order to ensure that there are nodes to pack bitcoin transactions, bitcoin rules stipulate that nodes of packed transactions will receive bitcoin as reward
A. part of the package reward comes from the transaction fee paid by the transaction creator (100-1000 transaction fee per KB)
B. the other part comes from the initial distribution of 21 million bitcoins. At the beginning, the reward is 50 bitcoins for each block. After that, the reward will be halved for every 210000 blocks (about four years). Until about 2140, the reward for each block is less than 1, and the total reward for each block is 21 million bitcoins, This is the source of the total amount of 21 million bitcoins (2099999.97690000 to be exact)
after 2140, the package reward will only come from the transaction fee paid by the transaction creator<

④ competition for block packing right
node packing transaction only needs to consume very low-cost network and computing resources. The existence of packing reward (at present, the packing reward for each block is 25 bitcoin, about 40000 yuan), makes a large number of nodes want to pack transactions. In order to ensure the uniqueness of the blockchain, bitcoin rules stipulate that nodes use a method similar to "coin tossing" to compete for the right of transaction packaging. Nodes constantly toss coins. Whoever first throws the results that meet the rules will get the right to pack the transaction in this block, as well as the package reward of this block

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

6.

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

7. The actions in bitcoin can be regarded as the use of graphics card to do continuous general computing, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive. The stream processor used by graphics card is just suitable for such an algorithm. It's like constantly solving equations. The graphics card is 2000 middle school students, while the CPU is 8 math doctors. Although the mathematical knowledge of the doctor of mathematics is far more than that of the middle school students, the speed of solving medium-sized equations such as virtual currency is certainly not as fast as that of 2000 middle school students
therefore, we used graphics cards to mine virtual currency at the beginning. After that, someone developed a specific algorithm to make the stream processor of the graphics card greatly strengthen the virtual currency solution, which is the origin of the mining machine
the transmission of knowledge is driven by life
