Bitcoin computing power distribution

1.

The following is the distribution chart of computing power:

the computing power of bitcoin is mainly controlled by some mine owners in the world, and the computing power of retail investors is very small, almost negligible. The computing power of China's mining pool even accounts for more than 80%, and China's voice is increasing

however, many digital currencies no longer need to be mined. Some digital currencies will be directly sent to investors through ICO, and Puyin is one of the representatives, but these digital currencies generally correspond to real assets

2.

Bitcoin bulls often mention that the scarcity value of this cryptocurrency is the main reason for its continued rise. Bitcoin is similar to gold to some extent. The growth of its supply is extremely slow, and it is still slowing down. Its total supply will only reach 21 million

with the increasing interest of institutional investors and retail investors in bitcoin, global exchanges such as the Chicago Board of options (CBOE) have launched bitcoin futures contracts. This is likely to encourage more institutional investors to invest in bitcoin, while at the same time further curbing the price volatility of bitcoin

this much anticipated bitcoin futures trading has been launched on the Chicago Board of options exchange, which represents a significant step in the legalization of cryptocurrency. Futures is a derivative / financial instrument, which can force dealers to buy and sell an asset at a specific time and price

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

4. Bitcoin and bitcoin cash (BCH) have the same mining mechanism. Miners will choose whether to dig bitcoin or bitcoin cash according to the level of mining income. It is a normal phenomenon that bitcoin computing power increases and bitcoin cash computing power decreases
in short, it is a redistribution of computing power driven by interests.

Mining is perhaps one of the most important components of the bitcoin ecosystem. Miners need to solve complex mathematical problems, so as to ensure the smooth implementation of the transaction. These problems are so complex that they are difficult to solve even for extremely powerful computers. Computers need work and luck to solve these mathematical problems, just as miners dig underground. The chance of solving this problem correctly is about one in 13 trillion

bitcoin mining has two purposes. Firstly, by solving mathematical problems, bitcoin miners can verify the transaction information, so as to ensure the security and reliability of bitcoin payment network. Miners are the people who ensure that transactions are accurate and that there is no "double payment."

Secondly, when the computer solves these complex mathematical problems on the bitcoin network, the system will generate new bitcoin, which is similar to the process of mining gold from the ground. The reward is called "block reward", and after the event called "halving", its amount will be periodically halved. The newly discovered concept of bitcoin is an important part of bitcoin protocol. The bitcoin obtained by the miners is brand new and has never been in circulation before

since miners will eventually sell the bitcoin, it is also an important source of supply and liquidity. As chainalysis reports, many digital currency exchanges rely on miners to receive bitcoin and increase their liquidity. Typically, exchanges get about 88% of bitcoin from other exchanges, and bitcoin miners are the largest source of the remaining percentage. As you can imagine, there is fierce competition between exchanges to receive bitcoin directly from miners

further enlarge the map, most of the mining activities are only carried out in four provinces, the first two provinces are Xinjiang and Sichuan, accounting for nearly half of all bitcoin mining in China. Electricity prices are cheap and the weather is cold in these areas. This helps to keep mining profits and equipment cool ring the 24 / 7 operation and maintenance period of bitcoin mining

but this is nothing new for digital currency issuance. For many years, China has been a major market for bitcoin miners e to its cheap electricity and abundant resources. Bitmain, f2pool and Canaan are all located in China

whether this is a negative or positive message depends on your point of view. But for decentralized, distributed, unlicensed networks, geographic regions across multiple entities are more healthy for the entire ecosystem

6. At present (2017 / 03 / 23), 1t computing power can dig about 0.00055 bitcoins a day. According to the current currency price, a 1t computing power miner can dig about 4 bitcoins a day. About 0.002 bitcoins can be g in 3.65t1 days, which is about 15 yuan in RMB. However, it is not fixed how much bitcoin can be g every day. Generally speaking, with the continuous upgrading of mining machinery, mining machinery developed by mining machinery manufacturers will continue to be put into the market, and the computing power of the whole network will continue to grow over time. The proportion of your computing power in the computing power of the whole network will graally decrease, and the bitcoin g by the corresponding computing power will also continue to decrease. In addition to purchasing mining machines to build and deploy mines, you can also purchase computing power on computing power platforms such as suanlibao, which can be used as an entrance to understand bitcoin, mining and blockchain. At the same time, you can also have considerable benefits under the condition of accepting risks.

7. Bitcoin was created by miners digging. The essence of the so-called miner mining is to carry out bookkeeping activities on the blockchain ledger. Bitcoin is a kind of reward for miners. For each block recorded, a fixed number of bitcoins will be generated as rewards, and miners with high computing power will have a greater probability of obtaining bitcoins. Therefore, the emergence of bitcoin has a great relationship with miners, mining machines and computing power. But basically no one will get bitcoin through mining, because mining machines and electricity have costs, and the computing power of Retail mining is relatively low, and the speed of getting bitcoin is relatively slow, so it is difficult to recover the cost. You can buy a few bitcoins directly on the website of fire coin.

8. In fact, people will not let such a thing happen, because once someone controls 51% of the computing power of the whole network, the security and non tamperability of the system will be invalid, then the decentralization system of bitcoin will collapse, and the price of bitcoin will plummet or even return to zero, which is bad news for the participants of the whole network. Therefore, we will spontaneously control the distribution of computing power in the whole network, so as not to let one company dominate. Even when many people find that the computing power of a certain mine is too large, they will take the initiative to withdraw from the mine. Now the most powerful mining pool in the whole network accounts for about 25% of the whole network.

9. At present, the latest market value of bitcoin should be more than $1 trillion

10.

According to the current computing power of the whole network, it takes 54436.5t of computing power to dig a bitcoin 24 hours, that is, one bitcoin a day< it requires 746 mining machines with the latest 73t capacity on the market to work together for 24 hours

the cost of mining mainly includes (mining machine cost / power cost). Now the latest miner is 22650 yuan, a miner consumes 77 kwh per day. At present, the price of mining machinery on the market is about 0.36 yuan, 28 yuan per day. The cost of mining bitcoin = mining machine price (22650)

mining bitcoin requires a professional site "mine" to place mining machines. The construction cost of placing about 3000 mining machines in a small professional mine is about 300 watts

extended data

unable to mine at home

the noise of 60-80 decibels will be proced by the mining machine in the working process. Mining at home is not feasible, the miner needs 24 hours of endless operation, so the temperature of the miner will be very high, the maximum temperature can reach 80 degrees. Therefore, mining needs a good environment to rece the temperature. Household electricity and electricity charges are high, and the cost is higher than the income. In addition, mining has a certain degree of professionalism, professionals need to carry out certain operation and maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the mining machine

the key to rece the mining cost is to purchase mining machines in batches and low electricity charges. Professional mine is built to ensure the operation of mining machinery. At present, the mainstream mining machinery manufacturers are bitcontinental Technology Co., Ltd. in Beijing and Jianan Yun Technology Co., Ltd. in Hangzhou. Mining machinery is proced in the form of appointment in futures. It is difficult for indivials to buy Mining machinery in small quantities on the official website. After years of development, the mining machinery market has formed a complete instrial chain. The price of mining machinery fluctuates with the price of money, and the power resources are basically distributed in the cheap western region. Getting cheap electricity prices requires personal resource advantages
