mining steps:
(1) Download bitcoin official client, click here to download bitcoin official client
(2) after installing the client, start the client, and the client will start to synchronize network data within 3 minutes after startup. Because bitcoin data is huge, it may take several hours (depending on network speed and computer performance). The picture shows the client synchronizing network data:
please make sure that your C disk has more than 10GB of free space. If the C disk is not enough, you need to set the data to D disk or e disk. Check the method of putting bitcoin packets to D disk
(3) if your client displays English and you are not good at English, You can set it to Chinese. Click here to see how to set the bitcoin client to Chinese.
(4) the client's synchronization of network data will not affect our mining. First, we get our account address and click the "collection address" button of the client. At this time, you will see a very long list of addresses, similar to your bitcoin account, The bitcoin account address is automatically generated and unique in the world
(5) your account is now 0.00 BTC, which means you don't have bitcoin yet, but you can start mining now. Download an easy-to-use mining software cgminer. Click here to download the bitcoin mining software cgminer (cgminer can dig bitcoin and most of the coins, But not all currency mining can use cgminer)
(6) you need to confirm your graphics card model, if it is NVIDIA graphics card, then you can directly mine, please skip this step. If it is an ATI graphics card, you need to install an AMD SDK package in addition to cgminer. Click here to download the AMD SDK installation package
(7) cgminer is an English interface, but it does not affect a rookie to use it. Please unzip the downloaded cgminer to anywhere on your computer, and then enter the cgminer folder
(8) in the cgminer folder, create a new text file (txt) and write the content code as:
cgminer - O http://pool.btc38.com : 9332 - U XXXXXX - P btc38
change the above XXXXXX to the account address of your BTC wallet (get your address according to section 4 of this tutorial), After filling in, it is shown in the figure:
Xiaobian has configured the mine pool and port for you in the above code (the mine pool is a completely free mine pool provided by bitage). If you want to use other mine pools and ports in the future, please modify the mine pool URL and port by yourself
(9) change the. TXT suffix of the newly created TXT text file to. Bat suffix (if you compare dishes, the suffix will not be displayed at the back of the text file and the file name suffix will not be changed, please click here). After modification, the file is as shown in the figure:
(10) then double-click the run.bat file above to start mining. For example, if you get 0.001 bitcoin, it will be stored in the BTC address you fill in. (because BTC mining is very difficult at this stage, you may have to wait for a whole day to get BTC revenue. When mining, there may be some cards on the computer screen, because most of the resources of the graphics card are occupied.). (11) you may also want to know how to understand the mining interface. The figure below mainly indicates your speed and status:
note: in fact, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large, and the output of bitcoin every 10 minutes is very limited, so mining is very difficult, If you have a powerful graphics card, there will be certain benefits. If your graphics card is not good, it may take you n hours to get a little bit of bitcoin. This tutorial is written by Xiaotian, editor of bitage (btc38. Com). The purpose is to let you get started and experience bitcoin. If you want to get better benefits through mining, You need to learn more about bitcoin pools and bitcoin mining strategies
4. Bitcoin mining pool
as mentioned above, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large, and the output of bitcoin every 10 minutes is very limited, resulting in the situation that tens of millions of people scramble for a block. Therefore, if you use personal computers to mine alone, you may not be able to grab a block in a whole year, People have come up with a team mining method. The so-called team mining is the mining pool that we are going to talk about now
the mine pool is a server designed through a specific algorithm. All users connected to the mine pool server will form a team to mine. Although the performance of personal computers is small, the overall performance of thousands of people will become very powerful. In this case, the success rate of mining will be greatly improved, Once the team in the mine successfully creates a block, then all the team members will pay dividends according to the performance of each person's computer. For example, 1000 people are mining in the same mine pool. After digging out a block, the reward of n bitcoins generated by the block will be distributed according to the computer performance of the 1000 people. If your computer performance is strong, it may get 1 in 100; if the performance is backward, it may get 1 in 10000
in this case, the developer of the mine pool will generally charge 1% ~ 3% of the fee for each user as a handling fee, but because this method makes it more stable for everyone to get bitcoin, almost everyone will choose to mine in the mine pool instead of mining alone
as mentioned in the mining tutorial above, the mine pool provided free of charge in the bit age adopts the P2P technology architecture and does not charge any fees to users. It is one of the mainstream mine pools. In addition, there are BTC guild and deepbit, which are also very popular. Although the design of each mine pool is not the same, but the use method is basically the same and simple, so this tutorial will not do further description, you can explore by yourself. Even though Xiaobian has configured the mine pool and port provided by bit era for you by default in the previous tutorial, in order to let you have a deeper understanding of the mine pool, here are several mainstream mine pools for you to choose:
bit mine pool (free, recommended by Xiaobian) | bitcoin.cz (suitable for novices) | BTC Guide (the oldest brand) | deepbit (stable and efficient) | f2pool (domestic)
1、 Mining principle
at the beginning, we could dig bitcoin with the computer CPU. The founder of bitcoin, Nakamoto Tsung, g out the world's first creation block with his computer CPU. However, the era of CPU mining has long passed, and now bitcoin mining is the era of ASIC mining and large-scale cluster mining
looking back on the mining history, bitcoin mining has gone through the following five times: CPU mining → GPU mining → FPGA mining → ASIC mining → large-scale cluster mining, The mining speed changes are as follows:
CPU (20mhash / s) → GPU (400mhash / s) → FPGA (25ghash / s) → ASIC (3.5tash / s) → large scale cluster mining (3.5tash / s * x)
mining speed, which is called computing power in professional terms, that is, the ability of computer to generate hash collisions per second. In other words, how many hash collisions can our miner do per second is the calculation force. Computing power is the ability to dig bitcoin. The higher the computing power, the more bitcoin you dig, the higher the return
in the world of bitcoin, a data block is recorded about every 10 minutes. All mining computers are trying to package the data block and submit it, and the person who successfully generates the data block will get a bitcoin reward. Initially, bitcoin rewards of 50 bitcoins could be generated about every 10 minutes. But the payment is halved every four years, and now the bitcoin network can generate 25 bitcoins every 10 minutes
to successfully generate data blocks, miners need to find the effective hash value. To get the correct hash value, there is no shortcut. You can only guess. The process of guessing is the process of computer random hash collision. If you guess correctly, you will get bitcoin
Mining method: from a miner to a large-scale mine, you need to prepare a miner, a computer that can connect to the Internet, an AUC, a raspberry pie, power supply and all kinds of connecting lines, etc. The connection order of various devices is network cable - & gt; Raspberry pie - & gt; Microusb cable - & gt; AUC-> 4Pin cable - & gt; Mining machine and power supply 
< EM > Figure 3: Mine Map (scale of tens of thousands of mining machines) < / EM >
nowadays, the profit space of small and medium-sized absenteeism who take one mining machine home or deploy a small family workshop (dozens of mining machines) is very limited, and the mining instry is graally concentrating on enterprises and teams with low-cost power resources and professional deployment ability
there are many factors that affect the mining revenue, such as the performance and power consumption of mining machinery, the computing power and difficulty of the whole network, the deployment and operation and maintenance capacity of the mine, the availability of low-cost electricity resources, and the currency price and policy guidance, etc. At present, excellent mining enterprises have the ability of chip research and development, a lot of computing power, professional mine deployment and operation experience, etc. in the future, resources and computing power will be more and more concentrated in these mining enterprises
2. Mine pool
in addition to the above equipment, you also need a necessary tool - mine pool. The function of the mine pool is to gather a large amount of mineral computing power, increase your probability of getting bitcoin, and at the same time, distribute your future bitcoin income to your account in advance
the simple explanation is as follows: now the bitcoin network generates a block every 10 minutes, which contains 25 bitcoins. Suppose there are 1W people in the world participating in mining, then in these 10 minutes, only one lucky person has taken these 25 bitcoins, and the others have nothing. The principle of the mine pool is that everyone mines in teams and distributes according to the agreed distribution method, so that the income of the miners' bitcoin tends to be stable and the risks of the miners are reced. Let's take the most common PPS allocation method as an example. Suppose that your computing power is 10t, and the computing power of the whole mine pool is 100t. Your computing power accounts for 1 / 10 of the total computing power of the mine pool. Suppose that the mine pool can generate 10 bitcoins a day, then you can get 1 bitcoin a day
3. Cloud computing power
in reality, the supply of mining machines often exceeds the demand, and at the same time, the delivery of mining machines needs a long waiting period. Miner installation, commissioning, maintenance and other processes are very complex, which requires a lot of energy. Miners have to enre the noise and heat of miner. For miners, the biggest cost is not these, but the high electricity charges consumed by mining. The profit space of small and medium-sized miners is getting smaller and smaller, even negative
Mining income and risk mining income can be calculated by the following formula:Mining income = generated bitcoin * currency price - mining machinery cost - electricity fee - custody fee
if you are just a small miner, generally you only need to dect mining machinery cost and electricity fee
Mining risks are as follows:
< UL >at present, the number of bitcoin is less than 4.5 million. If we do not issue additional bitcoin, the price of bitcoin will fluctuate, and the price callback will lead to the extension of the payback cycle
mining difficulty improvement at present, our machines can meet the market demand
the risk of power outage

don't say that the bitcoin mine is almost empty now. Even if you have to dig, how long does your mobile phone have to dig?
in addition, even if you find it in the end, it's useless. The Bank of China has issued a file that doesn't support bitcoin virtual currency! Hope to adopt!
in fact, we can do a lot of fun or valuable things
you can buy a hamburger set meal and an iced coke at McDonald's KFC
you can buy a discount ticket at the cinema to see star wars or transformers
you can come to the Internet bar or game hall to play games. On our side, you can play for an afternoon (nobody cares)
you can buy a bunch of roses or a mouse for the person you like to activate your feelings
of course, a 23 yuan LBTC can also be used to do more meaningful things
if there is a poor child in remote Helan Mountain of Ningxia or Laos who can't afford to pay the tuition fee of tens of yuan, as long as he has a smart phone, downloads the LBTC wallet and registers the LBTC address, other LBTC holders in the world can donate money for him to help her go to school. Lbtc3 seconds to the account, up to 1400 TPS per second, so that children can quickly get tuition
many Filipino maids go to Hong Kong and Japan to work. They live frugally every month and save a meager income. However, the handling charge of cross-border remittance is often as high as 5% - 10%, which makes them very difficult. LBTC can help them achieve this goal. LBTC remittance fee is almost zero, and there is no amount limit
until LBTC, like Alipay and WeChat, is accepted by businessmen all over the world, it is good to make hotel, buy breakfast, rent a car and travel abroad with LBTC. LBTC will make our life extremely convenient.
it is suggested to invest in the spot form of yellow / gold / crude oil. Yellow / gold has always maintained its value, and crude oil as war savings can not go anywhere. Recently, the market has fluctuated a lot. It's still easy to make money.
