when building bitcoin, Nakamoto wants bitcoin to be a decentralized currency, not only for use and trading, but also for mining. But it backfired. With the increasing value of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, mining has become an instry. The competition is more and more fierce, and the pursuit of mining computing power is higher and higher. Therefore, from ordinary computer mining, ASIC mining machine and GPU mining machine have evolved

the algorithm of ASIC mining machine is almost sha256, while the algorithm of GPU mining is different. For example, the algorithm of BTG is equihash, and the algorithm of BCD is optimized x13. Although it is not absolute, it can be simply considered that the currency of sha256 algorithm is generally mined by ASIC mining machine. Other algorithms are basically using GPU miner. There are also exceptions. Scrypt's Leyte coin used to be mined by GPU miner, but later scrypt's algorithm was also conquered by ASIC chips, such as ant miner L3 +, which is the ASIC miner used to dig Leyte coin

ASIC miner refers to the miner that uses ASIC chip as the core of computing power. ASIC is the abbreviation of application specific integrated circuit, which is a kind of electronic circuit (chip) specially designed for a specific purpose. Some mining machinery factories have designed ASIC chips specially for computing the sha256 algorithm of bitcoin, and the mining machinery using them is ASIC mining machinery. Because ASIC chip is only built for specific computing, its efficiency can be much higher than that of CPU. For example, the current mainstream ant miner S9 is ASIC miner, which uses 189 ASIC chips, the computing power reaches 13.5th/s, and the power consumption is only 1350W. As a comparison, the computing power of gtx1080ti, the flagship computer graphics card, will not exceed 60mh / s even if it is optimized well. The difference is tens of thousands of times

GPU miner refers to the miner that uses GPU graphics card as the core of computing power. Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, bitcoin and diamond use graphics algorithms, so the speed of computing with graphics card will be the highest. Compared with ASIC miner, GPU miner is more well-known, because it is a computer with enhanced graphics card configuration

the purpose of GPU miner is to make money, so we should pursue the power consumption ratio and maximum profit, so we should pay attention to the cost performance. Generally, the medium and high-end positioning graphics cards, such as AMD rx560 and rx570, have high power consumption ratio, which is a good choice for GPU miner. While flagship cards such as gtx1080ti and AMD vega64 have the strongest single card performance, they are not cost-effective in terms of price and power consumption

in addition, the ASIC miner also has some exotic procts, such as the USB miner of burning cat, which is slightly larger than the U disk, and the power consumption is only 2.25w, which is the smallest bitcoin miner at present

2. Lightning bitcoin has not been well known because it is a bifurcated coin of bitcoin. Many users in the coin circle instinctively dislike this kind of token. Fork coin has now become synonymous with money and running. But what you may not know is that all bifurcated bitcoin can be called currency in the eyes of foreign regulators. The US SEC only recognizes bitcoin and Ethereum as currencies because they have not concted ICO in public channels. Accordingly, these bifurcated currencies are regarded as currency. And lightning bitcoin is the only one that doesn't pre dig in the fork coin. You can imagine that bitcoin is 100 banknotes issued by a bank, and all kinds of bifurcated banknotes are equivalent to banknotes of different denominations issued by the bank. You may not be able to understand the valuable value of this. When it comes to the circulation of entities, if you are a bifurcated coin of bitcoin, it is easy to pass the government compliance. In short, the reason why the Grand Prince BCH can get through the physical circulation in Japan so quickly is just the light of bitcoin
then why should I say that lightning bitcoin is a great currency experiment? We compare lightning bitcoin to a free economy with three major stakeholders: developers, miners and holders

so far, no blockchain project can effectively govern the three. Why? The reason is very simple. In an ICO project, the developers, coin holders and even miners are the same group. It's easy to understand. Why should he give the best interests to the ICO holders? This is obviously not in line with human nature. The reason why lightning bitcoin dares to do chain governance is related to the issuing mode of lightning bitcoin. LBTC's "governance on the chain" is another attempt to "decentralize", which is also very eye-catching. Dpos mechanism determines that there are 101 nodes in the network. At the same time, unlike pow, the right of choice is in the hands of the coin holder. These nodes will be elected by the vote of the coin holder. When the node does not act, the user can vote out of the network. According to last week's weekly report, LBTC's block browser has also added this function, which can view the operation of nodes in real time. It also paves the way for LBTC's "chain governance". In the LBTC system, all coin holders can vote to decide whether the project development proposal will go or stay, and all members of the organization can participate in the decision-making and operation of the organization. In addition, the 5000 standard of lockup after the election of the lightning node ensures that the node is both a mine pool and a coin holder. In this way, the relationship among miners, developers and users is well balanced, and the foundation of an autonomous organization is formed.
