How much is the computing power of general bitcoin
CPU mining → GPU mining → FPGA mining → ASIC mining → large-scale cluster mining
while mining chips are updated, The change of mining speed is:
CPU (20mhash / s) → GPU (400mhash / s) → FPGA (25ghash / s) → ASIC (3.5thash / s) → large scale cluster mining (3.5thash / s * x)
mining speed, which is called computing power in professional terms, 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
in order to successfully generate data blocks, miners need to find the effective hash value. To get the correct hash value, there is no shortcut. They have to guess. The process of guessing is the process of computer random hash collision. If you guess correctly, you will get bitcoin
so far, the highest 1btc price in bitcoin history is about $20000, with a market value of more than $60 billion.
mining is the only way to obtain undeveloped bitcoin, which needs to purchase professional mining equipment for mining, which is called mining machine in the instry
bitcoin miner obtains bitcoin through a lot of calculation through hash algorithm. As we all know, the number of bitcoin is constant, 21 million. As time goes on, the number of miners increases and the number of miners decreases.
the difficulty of bitcoin system is dynamically adjusted. Every 2016 bitcoin is g, an adjustment will be made, The adjustment is based on the block time of the previous 2016 blocks. If the average block time of the previous cycle is less than 10 minutes, it will increase the difficulty. If it is more than 10 minutes, it will rece the difficulty. The purpose is to ensure that the system can output a block every 10 minutes, so the difficulty adjustment time is about 2 weeks (2016 * 10 minutes), that is to say, the output will be halved every four years, And the difficulty will be adjusted every 14 days, so the general trend seems that the output of mining will be less and less
2. Purchasing power for bitcoin
after the prevalence of mining, there are some bitcoin mines, that is, multiple mining machines are concentrated in one place for mining, unified maintenance and management, low electricity price, to rece the cost of mining
the most important parameter of bitcoin mining machine is computing power. The higher the computing power is, the higher the output will be. In the difficulty of bitcoin mining, how much bitcoin can be g with 1t computing power is also used to measure the current difficulty of mining. Therefore, some mines will directly sell computing power to users to dig coins. In this way, the mining risk is relatively lower, and there is no need to buy mining machines and equipment, and no need to maintain them, The maintenance and management of mining machine is relatively troublesome for Xiao
3. Reward for bitcoin
with the rising price of bitcoin, bitcoin has gained more popularity than before, and its position in virtual currency is also unmatched by other currencies. There are some real procts of reward bitcoin mechanism in the market, and cat disk is one of them< The simplest way to get bitcoin is to find the person who holds bitcoin to buy bitcoin, which is equivalent to buying goods. But bitcoin is not required by everyone. Therefore, it is necessary to find the person who holds bitcoin and carry out direct transfer transaction. At the same time, there are certain risks, The other side needs indivials to grasp whether they are cheaters or not, so I don't recommend such transactions on the basis of not being acquaintances or not having certain trust
2. Online trading
there are many trading platforms for bitcoin, large or small. At present, the relatively large and well-known trading platforms are Huo coin, coin security, okex, uto market,... And so on. These platforms are more convenient and safe as three-party guarantee transactions, and the only risk is platform running, But the possibility is relatively small, but some small platforms are not without security
When bitcoin first appeared in 2009, its price was less than 1 cent. One dollar could be converted into 1300 bitcoins, that is to say, seven yuan could be converted into 1300 bitcoins
on May 5, 2017, bitfinex, an overseas digital currency trading platform, quoted a price. Bitcoin once hit US $1700, about RMB 11737

on October 31, 2013, Lei Teng, a famous Internet lawyer, proposed the event of "filing a case to investigate the closure of GBL bitcoin trading platform as soon as possible", analyzed the "value function" and "use function" of bitcoin, and bitcoin should be governed by relevant laws
on December 5, 2013, notice of the Ministry of instry and information technology of the people's Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission on preventing bitcoin risk: bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity; Bitcoin trading is a kind of commodity trading on the Internet. Ordinary people have the freedom to participate in it at their own risk
on September 4, 2017, the announcement of the people's Bank of China Central Network Information Office, Ministry of instry and information technology, State Administration for Instry and commerce, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission on preventing the risk of token issuance financing: it is prohibited to engage in token issuance financing activities (ICO)
the trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and token, or virtual currency, or buy or sell token or virtual currency as a central counter party, or provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or virtual currency
on November 2, 2018, the people's Bank of China released the 12th topic of China financial stability report 2018, which talked about "encrypted assets"
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
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
first of all, we should understand that this service charge is given to miners to encourage them to continue mining and provide enough computing power for bitcoin, so as to ensure the security of bitcoin network. At present, the main income of miners is to get BTC reward by creating new blocks, but the reward is halved every four years. As time goes on, bitcoin transaction fee will graally replace bitcoin reward
under what circumstances should the handling charge be paid? What's the amount
bitcoin system has a series of network rules, including the handling charge rules, which are "what the client should do". When you use bitcoin client (wallet, bitcoin QT) to send bitcoin, the whole process is roughly divided into the following steps:
1. Prepare the bitcoin you want to send
the client is responsible for collecting the balance of bitcoin in your wallet (bitcoin QT) to prepare for payment, Because every bitcoin you receive is in your wallet until you spend it
if you withdraw 3btc and 2btc twice in okcoin bitcoin, their records in your wallet are independent, that is, a 3btc and a 2btc, instead of merging them into 5btc (the wallet only records transaction details, but does not merge the balance, but you can see the total balance on the interface of the wallet), As time goes on, you will accumulate a lot of bitcoin in your wallet. It is conceivable that there should be thousands of such records in okcoin bitcoin wallet. So when you send bitcoin, the wallet must decide which of the above records are most suitable for this sending
the bitcoin you get in a transaction is called "inputs" and the bitcoin you spend is called "outputs". There are multiple inputs and outputs in your wallet
2. Prevent a large number of micro payments from impacting the network
if you recharge the okcoin bitcoin trading platform less than 0.01btc (including the fund changes inside your wallet), you must pay a handling charge of 0.0001. When preparing your payment amount, the wallet has an established rule, that is, when preparing the payment amount in many inputs, try to avoid the amount change less than 0.01btc (for example, if you want to recharge 5.005btc to okcoin bitcoin, the wallet should choose 3 + 2.005 or 1 + 1 + 3.005 instead of 5 + 0.005)
3. The larger the amount, the higher the age of the currency, the higher the priority
if the amount you send is too small or your bitcoin has just been mined, then your transfer is no longer free. Each transaction will be assigned a priority, which is determined by the degree of currency, the number of bytes and the number of transactions. Specifically, for each input, the client will first multiply the number of bitcoins by the time they exist in the block (currency age, age), and then divide all the procts by the size of the transaction (in bytes). The calculation formula is: priority = sum (input)_ value_ in_ base_ units * input_ age)/size_ in_ If the calculation result is less than 0.576, then the transaction must pay the handling fee. This is why you need to add a 0.0001 when you withdraw with okcoin bitcoin, because the bitcoin transfer in okcoin wallet is frequent, and the time of bitcoin in the block is relatively short, so you need to pay a handling charge. If you do have a large number of small inputs, such as small miners, and want to transfer them out for free, you can add a large amount of bitcoin with a large currency age, and the average priority will be increased, so that bitcoin can be transferred out for free
4. Charge per kilobyte
at the end of the transfer, the client calculates the size of the transfer (in bytes), which generally depends on the amount of input and output. The calculation formula is as follows: 148 × Input amount + 34 × Output amount + 10. If the size of the transfer exceeds 10000 bytes, but the priority meets the free standard, you can still enjoy the free transfer, otherwise you need to pay the handling charge. The cost per 1000 bytes is 0.0001btc by default, but you can also add it in the client by opening the tab "settings & gt; Options & gt; The main purpose is to adjust the handling charge. If the service charge you are setting is less than 0.0001, BTC is calculated as 0.0001. When this rule applies, it will replace the rule in step 2 instead of accumulating.
warm tips:
1. According to the notice and announcement issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments, virtual currency is not issued by monetary authorities, does not have monetary attributes such as legal compensation and compulsion, is not a real currency, does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market, Citizens' investment and transaction of virtual currency are not protected by law
2. Before investing, it is recommended that you first understand the risks existing in the project, and clearly understand the investors, investment institutions, chain activity and other information of the project, rather than blindly investing or mistakenly entering the capital market
3. The above explanation is for reference only. Investors should not use such information to replace their independent judgment or make decisions only based on such information, which does not constitute any investment operation

Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency. 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. Assuming that the mining computing power is 100 mhash / s and the total computing power is 4000 ghash / s per day, 3600 bitcoins can be g out every 24 hours
China's computing power has accounted for more than 75% of the world, that is to say, 75% of bitcoin in the world is made in China. How long does it take to dig a bitcoin
bitcoin used to be very good at "digging", which can be done by ordinary computer CPU, and it can automatically "solve problems" by downloading software. But with the rise of currency price, more and more people want to "solve the problem", and the difficulty of mining is also increasing. Now, the amount of computation needed to dig a bitcoin is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ordinary computers can't afford it
instry insiders said that in 2014, 100 bitcoins were generated from 500000 yuan of electricity charge per day, and the cost of electricity charge alone was 5000 yuan per coin. But now, the same cost has more than doubled, and the electricity cost of each bitcoin is as high as 10000 yuan
in the generation mechanism of bitcoin, mining reward is decreasing. At the beginning of the birth of bitcoin, the miners could get 50 bitcoins for each page of the ledger, and then 25 bitcoins for each page of the ledger, decreasing in turn. It's like digging gold. At first, it's more and less. The time point at which each new reward is reced by half is called half bitcoin proction
assuming that the mining computing power is 100 mhash / s, the total computing power is 4000 ghash / s per day in 2014, and 3600 bitcoins are g out every 24 hours
now, we can understand the difficulty of bitcoin digging in this way, which is equivalent to 100 million dice throwing numbers less than 100 million and 50 million. Whoever throws them first will get the bookkeeping right. At this point, 1050 million is a hash value. The process of throwing dice is called hash collision. The unit of mining power is the number of hash collisions per second
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

1. Prepare the bitcoin you want to send. The client is responsible for collecting the balance of bitcoin in your wallet (bitcoin QT) to prepare for payment, because every bitcoin you receive is stored in your wallet until you spend it. If you receive two payments from 3btc and 2btc, their records in the wallet are independent of each other, that is, a 3btc and a 2btc, rather than merging them into 5btc (the wallet only records transaction details and does not merge the balance, but you can see the total balance on the interface of the wallet). As time goes on, many bitcoins of different amounts will accumulate in your wallet, So when you send bitcoin, the wallet has to decide which bitcoin is the most suitable for this sending. The bitcoin you get in a transaction is called "inputs" and the bitcoin you spend is called "outputs". There are multiple inputs and outputs in your wallet
2. If your outputs are less than 0.01btc (including the fund changes inside your wallet), you have to pay a handling charge of 0.0001, even if you transfer it to yourself. The wallet has an established rule when preparing your payment amount, that is, when preparing the payment amount in many inputs, try to avoid the amount change less than 0.01btc (for example, if you want to pay 5.005btc, the wallet should choose 3 + 2.005 or 1 + 1 + 3.005 instead of 5 + 0.005)
3. The larger the amount, the higher the age, and the higher the priority. If the amount you send is too small or your bitcoin has just been mined, then your transfer is no longer free. Each transaction will be assigned a priority, which is determined by the degree of currency, the number of bytes and the number of transactions. Specifically, for each input, the client will first multiply the number of bitcoins by the time they exist in the block (currency age, age), and then divide all the procts by the size of the transaction (in bytes). The calculation formula is: priority = sum (input)_ value_ in_ base_ units * input_ age)/size_ in_ If the calculation result is less than 0.576, then the transaction must pay the handling fee. If you do have a large amount of small input and want to transfer it out for free, you can add a large amount of bitcoin with a large age, which will increase the average priority, so that you can transfer out bitcoin for free
4. Charge per kilobyte. At the end of the transfer, the client will detect the size of the transfer (in bytes). The size generally depends on the amount of input and output. The calculation formula is as follows: 148 * input amount + 34 * output amount + 10. If the size of the transfer exceeds 10000 bytes, but the priority meets the free standard, you can still enjoy the free transfer, Otherwise, there will be a handling charge. The cost of 1000 bytes is 0.0001btc by default, but you can also add it in the client. Open the tab "settings & gt; Options & gt; The main purpose is to adjust the handling charge. If the service charge you are setting is less than 0.0001, BTC is calculated as 0.0001.
