What is the problem of mining power
computing power is a measure of bitcoin network processing power. That is, the speed at which the computer calculates the output of the hash function. Bitcoin networks must perform intensive mathematical and encryption related operations for security purposes. For example, when the network reaches a hash rate of 10th / s, it can perform 10 trillion calculations per second
in the process of getting bitcoin through "mining", we need to find its corresponding solution M. for any 64 bit hash value, there is no fixed algorithm to find its solution M. we can only rely on computer random hash collisions. How many hash collisions can a mining machine do per second is the representative of its "computing power", and the unit is written as hash / s, This is called workload proof mechanism pow
computing power provides a solid foundation for the development of big data, and the explosive growth of big data poses a huge challenge to the existing computing power. With the rapid accumulation of big data in the Internet era and the geometric growth of global data, the existing computing power can no longer meet the demand. According to IDC, 90% of the global information data is generated in recent years. And by 2020, about 40% of the information will be stored by cloud computing service providers, of which 1 / 3 of the data has value
therefore, the development of computing power is imminent, otherwise it will greatly restrict the development and application of artificial intelligence. There is a big gap between China and the advanced level of the world in terms of computing power and algorithm. The core of computing power is the chip. Therefore, it is necessary to increase R & D investment in the field of computing power to narrow or even catch up with the gap with the developed countries in the world
unit of force
1 KH / S = 1000 hashes per second
1 MH / S = 1000000 hashes per second
1 GH / S = 1000000000 hashes per second
1 th / S = 100000000000 hashes per second
1 pH / S = 100000000000 hashes per second
1 eh / S = 100000000000 hashes per second
computing power refers to computing power, refers to that in the process of getting bitcoin through "mining", we need to find its corresponding solution M. for any 64 bit hash value, there is no fixed algorithm to find its solution M. we can only rely on computer random hash collisions. How many hash collisions can a mining machine do per second, is the representative of its "computing power". The unit is written as hash / s, which is the so-called proof of work mechanism (POW)
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
bitcoin will be released on the Internet regularly to mine. To put it bluntly, it is the process that people use computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it
mining is definitely the first professional mining machine. Many new children's shoes will choose to mine with graphics card. However, mining with graphics card is just like doing a professional job with "magic oil", but the efficiency is certainly not high. To dig bitcoin, we should pay attention to the following points: first, computing power (i.e. mining speed), second, power consumption, and third, stable performance. Computing power, bitcoin mining is faster than problem-solving speed, so it is self-evident that speed is more important; Power consumption is directly related to efficiency, that is, the issue of cost expenditure; The stability of performance mainly depends on the stability of calculation force when the working frequency is constant. Just think about it, no one wants the miner to lose its computing power every so often, or even break down. After all, it's all money ~
the general computing power of the graphics card is a few gigabytes, while the professional miner chip is as high as several thousand gigabytes. Take bm1387, the chip with the lowest power consumption in the world, as an example, the S9's computing power is as high as 14T, the power consumption on the wall is only 1400W, and the rated computing power reaches 13.5 Th / s ± 1 J / GH + 12% (wall, AC / DC 93% efficiency, 25 ° Rated voltage: 11.6 ~ 13.0v, in addition, in the case of non independent power supply, three power calculation boards can be connected to different power supply respectively, but each power calculation board can not be connected to multiple power supply, and ensure that the power calculation board is finally powered on
among the mining machines, ant mining machine is my favorite. At the same time, based on the average investment cost of bitcoin in the early stage, ant S9 can basically recover the capital in about five months, and the income in the later stage is immeasurable.
in the very early days, when the computing power of bitcoin was very low, the computer could also carry out a lot of calculations according to the algorithm to "mine" bitcoin
when users "mine" bitcoin, they need to search for 64 bit numbers by computer, and then compete with other gold miners by repeatedly solving puzzles to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a group of numbers, they will get the bitcoin awarded by the block. However, e to the rising value of bitcoin, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large. There are millions of professional mining machines mining at the same time, and the output of bitcoin is very limited every 10 minutes. As a result, 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 came up with a method of group mining, so the mining pool was born. There are a lot of users who play after mining
I hope you will adopt it.
