BTC quantity ranking

1.

There are only 21 million bitcoins

"graphics card mining" is a joke. In fact, it is running a specific algorithm to generate bitcoin through a large number of calculations

{rrrrrrr}

extended materials:

the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network on it was constructed. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system

unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. 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 21 million

bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items

on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency

from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees

2.

The total number of bitcoins is 21 million

in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 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

monetary characteristics

1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom

2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

6. Cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

One of the most special currencies is undoubtedly bitcoin. The biggest characteristic of bitcoin is that the quantity is limited! Moreover, bitcoin supporters believe that one of the advantages of bitcoin is that the number of bitcoins is fixed{ RRRRR}

although bitcoin is limited, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient use, because bitcoin, as an electronic currency, is too easy to be divided. For example, in our real life, 10 yuan banknotes can be changed into 10 pieces of 1 yuan banknotes, and 1 yuan banknotes can be changed into 10 pieces of 1 jiao banknotes. Limited by the real currency, it's hard for you to find 1 Fen banknotes now, let alone tear 1 Fen banknotes into 10 pieces. But bitcoin is different. In the current data structure of bitcoin, the smallest unit is 0.00000001 bitcoin, that is & lt; 1 Cong & quot;, On top of that, there are micro bits (0.000001 bitcoin). If necessary in the future, bitcoin can also consider smaller partition units. Money can be divided into small pieces, which means it's easier to circulate, so bitcoin is limited and no problem

In 2016, the global ranking of virtual currency is respectively as follows:

< H2 > bitcoin, Leyte, Ecuadorian, reborn, bitstock, doggy, Diablo, futurecoin, diandiancoin and Xingxing < H2 > first place: bitcoin

since its release in 2009, bitcoin has become the most well-known virtual currency. This virtual currency was developed by indivials or organizations under the pseudonym of "Nakamoto Tsung" (whose real identity has always been unknown), and is mainly used by online merchants. However, in recent years, some small physical merchants have begun to accept bitcoin payment. Through complex algorithms and a large number of computing resources, users can obtain bitcoin through "mining". Of course, they can also purchase bitcoin through exchanges or services like bitinstagnt and coinbase. The total amount of bitcoin that can be mined is about 21 million, while the current mining amount has exceeded 11 million. Bitcoin has attracted the attention of Western Union, MoneyGram and paypal. It is reported that these services are evaluating whether users are allowed to use bitcoin on their respective platforms

< H2 > second place: lightcoin

lightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central organization. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three significant differences. First, the lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, four times the amount of money issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in lightcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each Leyte coin is divided into 100000000 smaller units, and the third place is defined by eight decimal places: Ecuadorian currency. In December 2014, Ecuador launched the "electronic currency system"

Ecuadorian currency, or EDC, which is a digital currency issued by the Central Bank of the government of Ecuador. In December 2014, the Ecuadorian market was launched, In 2015, the number of Ecuadorian currency members reached 500000, which will be recognized and sought after by investors after launching the European market and Asian market in 2015, and achieve a complete success. It will strongly launch the Chinese market at the end of September 2016, and will issue a limited number of 50 million pieces in China, which has a strong scarcity! This is an international hot topic with a wide range of admirers in the world. Historical currency is a kind of P2P digital code. Ecuadorian currency is not issued by a specific monetary institution. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Ecuadorian currency economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions

decentralized encrypted digital currency has no issuing institution, and it does not belong to any indivial, institution, bank or country, so it cannot be shut down. Ecuadorian coin mining machine is mining 24 hours a day, and the extracted Ecuadorian coin can be traded through the trading platform to obtain profits. Ecuadorian coin mining refers to the scrypt algorithm, The process of collecting and sorting the transaction information that has not been recognized by Ecuadorian currency in the past period of time, broadcasting to all nodes in the whole network, and finally being recognized by all nodes and getting Ecuadorian currency. Mining is the only way to issue new currency, which plays an important role in issuing new currency, maintaining Ecuadorian payment function and ensuring system security

Like bitcoin, XRP is a digital currency based on Mathematics and cryptography. However, unlike bitcoin, XRP has no real purpose. XRP has the main function of bridging currency and ensuring security in ripple system, among which the function of ensuring security is indispensable, This requires that all gateways participating in this protocol must hold a small amount of XRP

in theory, gateways don't need to buy many xrps, and their prices are very cheap. One XRP is only 0.4 cent (as of March 14, 2015, its price has risen to about 1 cent). Like bitcoin, the number of xrps can not be "over issued" (the total number is 100 billion), but since a small amount of xrps will be destroyed in each transaction, it means that the number of xrps will graally decrease. If ripple protocol can become the global mainstream payment protocol, the gateway's demand for XRP will be more extensive - the demand is strong but the quantity is decreasing, which will lead to the appreciation of XRP

< H2 > fifth place: bitstocks

bitstocks adopt an architecture similar to bitcoin blockchain. In the bitcoin blockchain architecture, each transaction data must be written from the previous transaction data, and new outputs are generated almost at the same time to be used for future transaction data writing. Each stroke can only be used once under certain conditions. Each transaction output contains the balance information of bitcoin, proving that it can be used for future transactions. In order not to proce bitcoin out of nothing, the write value of the transaction must be greater than the output value

bitcoin uses a simple script language to evaluate the situation that the balance is insufficient when the transaction is output; However, most of the transaction output only needs the holder's encrypted signature

< H2 > sixth place: dogcoin

dogcoin, some people call it "dogcoin", was born on December 8, 2013, based on the scrypt algorithm, is the second largest virtual currency in the world after bitcoin in the number of users [1]. Digital currency is a global currency initiated by non-governmental organizations. It does not belong to a certain country, but belongs to the whole mankind. It has the advantages of fast global transfer. For example, it can remit money from China to the United States in a few seconds, with low cost, and the total amount will not be increased at will like legal money, so the total amount is relatively stable

after the launch of dogcoin system, e to the help of reddit (the doge content on this website overflows horribly), the traffic shows an explosive development. However, in two weeks, dogcoin has launched a special blog and forum, with a market value of 100 million as of June 9, 2015. Because there is no pre dig, dog coin distribution is fair, charity, reward culture is popular, and user development is amazing and rapid. On June 9, 2015, the number of Dog Coin client addresses was 1.6 million, more than five times that of Wright coin; The number of active client addresses is 196000 in bitcoin, 83000 in dogcoin and 11000 in lightcoin; There are more than 150000 foreign Twitter users, 1.7 times of bitcoin and 6 times of lightcoin. Facebook likes are the same as bitcoin, far more than lightcoin [2]. The daily real transaction volume has been ranked in the top three of virtual currency for a long time, which is still not as good as the result obtained before the big platform [3]. The biggest value of the enterprise Internet era is the huge number of users. It took one year for the user base of dogcoin to reach one third of the number of bitcoin users, and the seventh place is lightcoin, which is four times the number of bitcoin users. 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[ 8] In the metaphor of RMB, black money 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 the equation system through huge amount of calculation. The equation system is designed to have only 22 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 22 million[ 8]

to mine the dark coin, you can download the special dark coin calculation tool, register various cooperative mine pool websites, fill the registered user name and password (miner user) into the calculation program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of the darkcoin client, you can directly obtain a darkcoin address. When others pay, you only need to post the address to others, and you can pay through the same client. After installing the Black Coin client, it will distribute a private key and a public key. You need to back up your wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, the personal dark coin will be completely lost

The concept of 21 million

bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system

bitcoin is not issued in unlimited quantity, which is different from most currencies. Bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency issuer. But according to the specific algorithm, through a large number of calculations. Its circulation is controlled by software algorithms. The total number is 21 million

generation principle

starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually the 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[ 10] 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

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 distribute a private key and a public key. You need to back up your 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

6. Theoretically, the block reward generated every day is 12.5 (number of rewards per block) * 6 * 24 (6 blocks per hour, 24 hours per day) = 1800btc
bitcoin network generates one block every 10 minutes on average, and the reward for each block is currently 12.5. At the earliest time, 50 BTCs were awarded to each block, which was halved after 210000 blocks were excavated, about once every four years. It is expected that the next halving will be in May 2020, when the reward for each block will become 6.25

21 million. Now the price of bitcoin is almost 70000

8. The first is Nakamoto, who is said to hold more than 1.1 million bitcoins, the largest in the world.

9. Complete mining route:

1-75: copper mine will be found in the birthplace
75-125: segenite in wetland, tin ore and igneous ore (in spider hole)
125-175: alx highland, Nano iron mine (walking along the mountains)
175-245: there are two choices
① in the three holes of Filas: each hole basically has 3-4 secret silver
② it is mainly concentrated in the east of the wilderness, where there are JY Dragons: there are iron, secret silver and real silver
you can practice until 245
245: go to the fat man hole above LM stronghold, there are black iron, Se silver and secret silver, A lot of them have been trained until 275
275: you can dig fuser silver and start to make money. Ha ha
there are also two choices
①: East plague, there are five points to brush fuser silver on the Internet, And the chance of getting out of arcane crystal is high
②: go to the hole of the three JY worms in xlss (LR DZ small D is recommended) and each of them has 4-6 fuser silver

after 300, you can mix in Outland to 375!
