The latest computing power of bitcoin in the whole network
2. If no one mines, there will be no computing power and no block, so bitcoin will not be proced naturally. The current situation is that with more and more people mining, more professional mining machines and more computing power, the 2100W bitcoin set will be fully mined in 2140.
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

What does 1p mean
first of all, 1p computing power is equivalent to about 1.05 million g, which means that if you have 1g computing power of the whole network, you can get almost 1.05 million of bitcoin output of the whole network. According to the output of 3800 bitcoins per day, we can see that the daily income of 1g of computing power has dropped to 0.0036 bitcoins, which is about 2.7 yuan according to the current market price. If the electricity cost and mining machinery hardware cost are included, the profit is almost gone
secondly, 1p's whole network computing power seems amazing, but in fact, in a year's time, you will think it's just a pediatrics, because cointera will launch 2p miner in December, and bitmine will launch 4P miner in March next year. If these companies are not put in biochemical weapons by Syria, it should be expected that bitcoin's whole network computing power will reach more than 10p in a year's time, By then, 1g of computing power will only be able to dig 0.00036 bitcoins a day.
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

according to the relevant literature of bitcoin, in 2140, 2100 bitcoins will be proced and will not grow any more. According to the principle of bitcoin, after 33 halving periods, the mining output of each block will reach 0.58 Cong, less than the minimum unit of one Cong. The interval of each half rection is 210000 blocks, and the total proction time (2140 years) given in the above literature is calculated from the proction time of each block of 10 minutes 210000 * 10 / 60 / 24 / 365 = 3.9954 * 33 = 132 years. Since 2008, 132 years later, it is 2140 years)
however, the "proction time of each block is 10 minutes" used in the above calculation method is an ideal state, which is only true when the computing power and difficulty of the whole network do not change. Looking at the bitcoin blockchain, it is not difficult to find that bitcoin's whole network computing power has been growing for a long time, and the difficulty of mining has also increased. Therefore, it is not difficult to find out that the above calculation is not tenable and there is a huge error
the shortcomings of the above methods are that they can not accurately predict the change of bitcoin network computing power and the mining speed of bitcoin. The 11.3-day data used in the above calculation method is only the average value from May 2013 to April 5, 2014, and the representativeness is questionable. We can integrate the results of big data analysis and mining machine proction to establish a more accurate mathematical model
