The power of calculation
Under the current difficulty, 1t mining machine can dig about 0.0268 BTC per day, which is about 1 bitcoin in 50. It is about 100 yuan in RMB. How much bitcoin you can dig in a day depends on how many shares you hold, that is, computing power. However, the computing power is floating. When the overall computing power is low, it's more. Otherwise, it's less. You can go to Babbitt's website to check the specific content when you have time< br />
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

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.
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)
1. Mining can not only proce bitcoin, but also guarantee transaction information
similarly, a mathematical system contains 21 million mathematical problems, so we need to constantly seek the special solution of each mathematical problem through a huge amount of calculation. In addition, the special solution is unique
mining can not only increase the supply of bitcoin money, but also protect the security of bitcoin transactions and prevent fraulent transactions. In terms of process, bitcoin network is a point-to-point payment system, and anyone can trade through the transaction program
in order to ensure that the transaction process is truthfully recorded, the role of "miner" is required to be responsible for recording bitcoin transaction information. The time interval is 10 minutes. The best recorded transaction records among miners will be packaged and stored in a new block, and the corresponding miners will also receive a certain amount of bitcoin rewards
2. The mining process is extremely complex, which is beyond human power
the specific process is as follows. When a miner listens to the transaction, he will first verify the transaction information. The verified transactions will be recorded by miners and stored in their own database. There may be thousands of miners in the world doing the same thing, but every ten minutes, only one miner has the right to create a new block, so that the transaction information recorded by himself can be recognized and stored permanently
next, miners need to fight for the right to keep accounts. This is a competition of computing power. The core of this competition is to use computers to complete a large number of calculation tasks and find a super difficult random number. This random number is the special solution of the equation mentioned in the first paragraph. The miner who calculates the correct random number first wins. According to the rules of the game, the probability of a miner getting the accounting right is directly proportional to the proportion of his computing power in the total computing power of the whole network. In other words, the probability of finding the random number is equivalent to throwing out 100 million dice, and the total number of dice is less than 150 million. Therefore, mining requires a large number of computers, installation of specific algorithm software, repeated operation day and night, not human
3. Bitcoin mining is actually "villagers' bookkeeping"
maybe some netizens still don't understand, let's take an example. In a village, the villagers often borrow money from each other, even if they write a written document, there is a risk of default. Then, every time there is a loan behavior in the village, we will use the village trumpet to inform everyone that all the villagers (miners) will record all the transaction records in their own account books.

these computing power are scattered along the Da River, a tributary of the Minjiang River. They inlge in the night of Dalate Banner in Ordos, and sleep soundly in a small city in Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang
today, bitcoin's total network computing power has reached about 30 billion hash collisions per second, equivalent to about 600 tianhe-2 supercomputers, and it is still growing at a high speed. " Wu Jihan, the founder of bitcontinent, wrote in the beauty of computing power
he preached a set of infinitely beautiful "computational aesthetics", but behind the aesthetics is the cruel computational world and interests. Mining is moving towards instrialization step by step and becoming a game of capital
at this time, decentralized mining machines and pools began to appear. They called themselves revolutionaries and wanted to change the extremely monopolized bitcoin world
"cloud computing power mining" is one of them
their way of playing is to establish a number of distributed mines and provide computing power leasing services with tens of thousands of real mining machines
"the current computing power is too concentrated, and some decentralized play methods are difficult to change the current pattern and ecology." Li Ke said
but the essence of blockchain is decentralization. The miners still have the belief that eventually the mining instry will be broken by the decentralized mining pool
this may be the only belief that keeps them going
how long will it take
"5-10 years, slowly nibbling at the giant's territory." Li Ke said
but will giants wait for the revolution? Will they fight back
the battle of computing power and the spark of revolution have just been ignited
