Backtracking of bitcoin power calculator
mining has been successful, a total of one equipment (CPU mining, 4-core bar), computing power: 12.75 khash / S (generally abbreviated as KH / s)
KH / S is very rare, so is MH / s; Now the more common are GH / s, th / s, pH / s. The conversion rate is about 1p = 1000t = 1000g = 1000m = 1000K
now the basic unit is GH / s, and several hundred g mining machines are very common
[bitcoin mining machine]
bitcoin mining machine is a 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
the popular digital currencies in 2013 are bitcoin, Leyte coin, zeta coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin, pole coin, barbecue coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world
1. Machine cost: the cost of purchasing mining machine
2. Power cost: the power cost consumed by machine mining
3. Auxiliary costs: personnel maintenance, network, cable consumables, heat dissipation, etc.
for a simple example, take the mining machine of ant S9, which consumes less power on the market, for example, the calculation power is 13.5T, and the power consumption is 1400W
when the mining machine runs for 24 hours: 1.4kw * 24 = 33.6 degrees
Shenma m3, which consumes more power on the market, has a calculation power of 11.5t, The power consumption is 2150w
under 24-hour operation, the power consumption of a single machine is 2.15kw * 24 = 51.6oc
which is roughly equivalent to the power consumption of energy-saving air conditioning, but the bitcoin miner needs 24-hour uninterrupted operation, the power consumption of a single machine is very large after a year's calculation, and the step price cost of household electricity is too high, When the market is not good, the income may not be enough for the electricity expenditure, so at present, mining will choose to be hosted in the mine, which can get cheap electricity and rece the cost price of mining. The price below 30% is the ideal price, which can keep the price of bitcoin falling to a low level, and there is still some income< According to the current mining difficulty of bitcoin:
BTC revenue per ton: 1th / s * 24h = 0.00007087btc
calculated by the comprehensive 12t machine computing power, the daily output is:
0.00007087t * 12t = 0.00085044btc
then the time required for a single machine to dig a BTC:
1 / 0.00085044 = 1175 days
the time required for ten mining machines to dig a BTC:
1 / 0.0085044 = 117 days
100 days In other words, according to the current difficulty, it takes about three years for a single miner to proce a bitcoin, 3.9 months for ten miners to dig a bitcoin, and 11.7 days for a hundred miners to dig a bitcoin. The cost of a single miner is about 8500, Ten are around 85000, one hundred is 850000, less than one million, and one month's income is more than two bitcoins. According to the current price of bitcoin, the price is about 120000. So, although the income of bitcoin mining is not as good as before, it is still considerable compared with other investment projects
however, these benefits do not include decting the cost of electricity charges and later maintenance of machines, so the premise of mining is to find a mine with low electricity charges. If the quantity is large, we need to find a safe, reliable and stable mine. What's more, we need cheap electricity to lower the cost price.
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 configurationthe 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
< / blockquote >the above quoted digcoin.com - "Introction to mining machinery classification" has many professional terms. I hope it can help you, thank you
1) bitcoin trading is not to buy the computing power of other people's computers. It's just like stock trading, buying bitcoin through RMB. Now bitcoin trading is also an investment. Let other people's computers serve you, that is, when others choose to mine, when you are a miner, you need a third party to confirm and record bitcoin transactions. This is the miner's confirmation of your transaction by running the bitcoin algorithm. Then help you record the transaction in the data block and keep it in the P2P network
2) bitcoin itself has no value, just like RMB. But its value comes from the mathematical framework, P2P network characteristics and people's confidence in bitcoin, which represents the future direction of financial development. So you have value
the total number of bitcoin is 21 million, which avoids inflation. People believe that bitcoin will appreciate in the future, so they rush to buy it.
Bitcoin is actually a useless string of numbers, but it is recognized as useful, just like diamonds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, game skin and so on. They can't be eaten or used, but we will recognize their value
"mining" just allows more people to participate in the construction of blockchain network. Is it really good that so many electricity charges are used to "calculate" a series of virtual values? Bitcoin is not a hedge. The price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. Speculation on bitcoin may become rich overnight or become poor overnight. Bitcoin is not as safe as it claims. In 2014, the world's largest bitcoin trading website, mtgox, was hacked and went bankrupt, and the $467 million worth of bitcoin evaporated instantly. Criminals use it to launder money, evade taxes and so on. It is also quite difficult for the government to investigate. The above personal opinions are welcome to be criticized and corrected.
