China's mining power

1. From cheap electricity to centralized mining, China's resources and environment provide bitcoin miners with many advantages. In recent years, bitcoin miners have used cheap electricity to expand their business in coal rich regions such as Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, which are home to the founders of some of the world's leading mining companies

with the rising price of bitcoin, more and more people join the bitcoin mining business. Accordingly, mining consumes more and more energy. Obviously, our government is also aware of this

according to the requirements of the document, regulators require local governments to take measures related to electricity price, land use, tax and environmental protection to guide bitcoin miners to withdraw from the business. According to foreign media reports, regulatory authorities are mainly concerned about the money laundering and financial risks involved in the shutdown policy, but excessive power consumption is also a factor that can not be ignored. In principle, bitcoin mining consumes a lot of power because every time a new bitcoin is proced, it needs to solve the complex mathematical problems through the encryption process performed by a high-performance computer. Mining calculation process is used to verify bitcoin transactions in the blockchain to ensure security, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy.

2. I have used sesame computing power for nearly half a year. Since I participated in the crowdfunding of mining machinery in August last year, I have recovered my capital. Mining machinery is still digging, and I can make money!

3. Erdos, 560 kilometers west of Beijing, is covered with hot waves and sandstorms. The gate is a dividing line, separating the two worlds. Outside the gate is a typical landscape of China's fourth tier Urban Development Zone, while inside the gate is a science fiction scene like the matrix. Eight large factories with blue roofs are juxtaposed. Tens of thousands of "mining machines" are flashing red and green light and roaring in the factory, making digital currency bitcoin for this "mine" day and night. This once the world's largest mine holds about 4% of the computing power (proction capacity) in the bitcoin world. During the peak period, it can dig out more than 100000 bitcoins a year, which is worth more than 3 billion RMB at the price of 30000 RMB in August 2017.
bitcoin was invented by "Zhongben cong" in 2009, Using the computing power of the chip, the boring and repetitive process of constantly "hash collision" in the blocks generated by the bitcoin system to win the bookkeeping right and thus obtain the system reward of bitcoin is vividly called "mining" in the bitcoin instry, and the professional staff engaged in this work are called "in the first few years of bitcoin operation, An ordinary laptop can play the role of "mining". However, the entry of Chinese miners has completely broken the balance of this situation. Relying on professional mining machines designed and made in China, they staged one after another bitcoin world computing power arms race, raising the threshold of "mining" tens of thousands of times

4.

You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years

the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin

in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned

extended data:

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

bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer

when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25

when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

5. Speed up mining

6. It's hard to say. If the currency price continues to fall, the miners generally lose confidence in bitcoin, and the mining income is seriously lower than the mining cost, then a large number of miners will stop mining, and the computing power will drop sharply. In addition, because the major countries in the world adopt a more stringent attitude towards bitcoin, such as China and the United States, bitcoin's computing power may also drop sharply, or even disappear

but bitcoin mining as an infrastructure, if bitcoin can continue to exist, although the income of mining is reced, for the security of the whole bitcoin network system, some big bitcoin companies may invest in mining to maintain the security of bitcoin network system. In addition, the future of bitcoin will become more clear and bright. Bitcoin's computing power will not decrease, but will increase.

7. The official introction is from the global large-scale modern physical mines, and access to rrmine (Renren mine) platform through the global top 10 mines. It's a very international platform
