What is WEP Power Miner
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 a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design 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
mining machine is a tool for procing and mining bitcoin
Bitcoin mining machine is a kind of computer used to earn bitcoin. This kind of computer generally has professional mining chips and works in the way of burning graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. It is one of the ways to get bitcoin that users download software from personal computer and then run specific algorithm to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote server
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment, and a competition of computing power among miners. Miners with more computing power are more likely to dig bitcoin. With the increase of computing power in the whole network, it is more and more difficult to dig bits with traditional devices (CPU, GPU). People have developed chips specially used for mining. Chip is the core part of mining machine. The process of chip operation will proce a lot of heat, in order to cool down, bitcoin miner is generally equipped with heat sink and fan
bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. Bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware. Miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by miners, so the competition for mining is very fierce
bitcoin mining started with low-cost hardware such as CPU or GPU, but with the popularity of bitcoin, the mining process has changed greatly. Nowadays, the mining activities are transferred to the field programmable gate array, and the hash speed can be achieved through optimization. The mining efficiency of this mode is very high
Bitcoin uses SHA-256 encryption algorithm. When mining, it competes with computing power. In order to improve computing power, bitcoin has gone through four stages: CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining and now ASIC mining machine mining, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher
Ethereum uses the ethash encryption algorithm. In the process of mining, it needs to read the memory and store the DAG file. Because the bandwidth of each read memory is limited, and the existing computer technology is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough in this problem, so no matter how to improve the computing efficiency of the computer, the memory read efficiency will not be greatly improved. Therefore, in a sense, Ethereum's ethash encryption algorithm is ASIC resistant.
different encryption algorithms lead to great differences in mining equipment and computing power between bitcoin and Ethereum
at present, bitcoin mining equipment is mainly ASIC mining machine with a very high degree of specialization. The maximum computing power of a single mining machine is 110t / s, and the scale of computing power of the whole network is more than 120eh / s
the main mining equipment of Ethereum is video card miner, and there are very few specialized ASIC miner. On the one hand, the "ASIC resistance" of Ethereum mining algorithm improves the threshold of developing ASIC miner. On the other hand, after Ethereum is upgraded to 2.0, the consensus mechanism will be transformed into POS, and the miner can not continue mining
compared with the ASIC miner, the graphics card miner has two orders of magnitude difference in computing power. At present, the computing power of mainstream graphics card miner (8 cards) is about 420mh / s, and that of Ethereum is about 230th / s.
from the time dimension of the past two years, bitcoin's computing power of the whole network is growing rapidly, while Ethereum's computing power of the whole network is growing relatively slowly
The ASIC mining machine of
bitcoin is monopolized by several major mining machine manufacturers, and miners can only buy it from the market; Although the graphics card miner of Ethereum is also manufactured by a special miner, the miner can buy accessories from the market and assemble them according to his own demand
computing this random code requires a lot of GPU operations, so the miners purchase a large number of graphics cards to get bitcoin more quickly and make profits
bitcoin has a halving effect, that is to say, every four years, the number of bitcoin will be halved. In this way, the computing power of bitcoin will increase, that is, the difficulty of mining will increase. Under normal circumstances, mining generally refers to the use of mining machine, that is, the computer to dig. These all refer to the single operation, or the operation of the whole mine. Cloud computing power mining refers to mining with multiple people. You can participate in mining as long as you invest a small part
the usual steps of bitcoin mining are "purchase miner - deploy miner - set miner - get profit", but the deployment of miner is affected by many factors, such as electricity price, site, temperature, noise, operation and maintenance, etc. These barriers need certain conditions and knowledge to eliminate, so it gives birth to a sub mole of mining instry - cloud computing power
cloud computing power is a remote mining mode. Users purchase cloud computing power contracts through the platform, rent computing power mining, and obtain revenue regularly. The advantage of cloud mining is that users don't need to deeply understand the mining principle and various software and hardware, or buy expensive mining machines, and they don't need 24-hour maintenance. As long as they place an order, they can participate in mining, which is similar to purchasing usufruct procts
for mine owners, renting and selling the right to use the computing power for a period of time to customers at a price slightly lower than the self operated mining income can quickly return cash, purchase the latest mining machinery in advance, expand the proction scale, and win the possibility of profit in the forward market. To some extent, it can also retain mining machinery at a low currency price, transfer risk, and hedge the single risk of self operated mining business< However, compared with direct participation in mining, cloud computing power also shows the following disadvantages:
even if the platform fully displays relevant information such as mines, mining machinery, cooperation and teams, it is still difficult for users to judge the quality of computing power, real-time operation status (such as power failure, site temporary inspection) or real revenue data behind the platform
the risk of speculation in bitcoin (short-term trading to earn spread) is higher than that of Tuen bitcoin (long-term bullish), but most Tuen bitcoin investors often lack judgment on short-term price changes and "get off early". Cloud computing power brings a small amount of bitcoin income to investors every day, which is also controlling investors' frequent operation in disguised form. Therefore, for many people who like bitcoin, there will be such a saying: "it's better to dig money than to fry money"
the market opportunity of cloud computing power is to provide indivials with a more neutral way of investment. The threshold is lower than that of self built mines, the risk is lower than that of short-term operation, and the cost is lower than the market price. It also allows mines to share the costs and risks and obtain more abundant cash flow
the main risk of cloud computing power lies in the authenticity and stability of computing power behind the contract. In our long-term contact with the mining instry, the high-frequency words we hear are "pit": reasons for power failure beyond common sense, various incidents ring the transportation of mining machinery, constant interference of viruses and extortion, fluctuation of futures and tardy spot, obstacles of cross-border trade, and team ghosts that can't be prevented. Therefore, real and stable computing power is scarce to a certain extent, Behind it is often years of experience. As an information intermediary, cloud computing power platform will become its core competitiveness in how to help users select high-quality cooperative mine cooperation, design friendly and attractive procts, formulate professional and transparent instry standards, establish disaster recovery plans to deal with various risks, and provide high-quality services throughout the whole process of investment
of course, mining is a long-term development instry, and cost recovery also needs a certain period, so whether you can make money mainly depends on whether you can stick to it.
Mining is the use of bitcoin mining machine, which is used to earn bitcoin
one of the ways to get bitcoin is that users download software from personal computer and then run specific algorithm to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote server
bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. Bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware. Miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by miners, so the competition for mining is very fierce
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. The mining machine composed of many graphics cards, even if it's only hd6770, can surpass the single graphics card of most users
and this is not the most terrible. Some mining machines are made up of more such graphics card arrays. When dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards come together, the graphics card itself costs money. Considering the hardware price and other costs, there is a considerable expenditure in mining
bitcoin mining process:
1. To find the ore pool
to start mining, there must be a ore pool with convenient operation and stable output. Its function is to subdivide the data packets for each terminal, and pay the corresponding amount of bitcoin according to the proportion of the data packets calculated by the terminal through precise algorithm
2. Download bitcoin miner (software)
in fact, there are many kinds of this miner, you can go to the official website to download
3. Setting mining software is a green software. After installation, we can set the language first to facilitate further setting. Next, you need to set the server, user name, password, equipment and so on. Generally, the server chooses a better network from BTC guide series, and the user name and password are set by ourselves before
4, bitcoin mining start
when we confirm that all settings are correct, click the "start mining" button to start bitcoin mining, and then the graphics card will soon enter the full speed running state, the temperature and fan speed will increase, you can monitor the state through gpu-z or graphics card driver
