Bitcoin mining tutorial
there are some points for attention in account setting. It is suggested to set a common account in e-mail
then there is the most important miner account setting. Miner obviously refers to CPU or GPU. You need to set an account for each CPU or GPU. Suppose you have two hd7990, you need to set four different accounts for four GPUs
after the account registration, it's time to take the second step. Download the bitcoin miner. Here we recommend the small and easy-to-use guiminer, which can support CPU, oepncl, CUDA and other computing modes. Your CPU and graphics card can achieve maximum performance
guiminer, a bitcoin miner, still needs to make certain settings. After the interface is changed to Chinese, it will be very simple
if the setting is correct, click the "start mining" button, the graphics card will soon enter the full speed running state, the temperature and fan speed will increase, and you can also monitor the state through gpu-z or graphics card driver
the computing power displayed by guiminer is only a theoretical value. To know the actual output of bitcoin, you need to log in to the mine pool website, btcguild, to monitor your account information
now let's assume that you have g up several bitcoins, which naturally exist in btcguild, a foreigner's website. They can't be traded or converted into paper money for the time being
the functions provided by bitcoin China trading platform are clear at a glance, and you can understand them as soon as you read them, so you don't need to introce them any more. After you register, you can study them slowly
click the "bitcoin recharge" function of bitcoin China trading platform, and the system will provide you with a one-time bitcoin digital wallet address. This address can only be recharged once (for security reasons of the platform). After successful recharge, it will be invalid, and then the system will provide you with another address. Remember to update the wallet address in time every time, Otherwise, it will lead to recharge failure or loss
OK, now we import bitcoin from foreign websites into bitcoin China website, and it's up to you to deal with it. Keep it for appreciation, listing and selling, and exchange it for RMB. Specific how to operate, this Chinese website is easy to operate, we slowly study it
finally, let's talk about the equipment used in the bitcoin mining test. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary hd7870, but its computing power was much better than that of the ordinary hd7870. The key is that guiminer recognized it as the Tahiti core, which is the only core of hd7900 series. Looking at gpu-z, the card originally had as many as 1536 stream processors, Generally, the hd7870 of Pitcairn core has only 1280 stream processors. No wonder Dylan's graphics card has super computing power
for friends who hang up for a long time, performance is not the most important, and stability is the most important.
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
