Half the calculation power of zero currency
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
zcash, full name zero cash, short for Zec, Chinese name big zero coin, developed by zooko Wilcox, was born on November 9, 2011
using zero knowledge proof mechanism to provide complete payment confidentiality is the most anonymous digital asset at present. At present, the time cycle of zcash anonymous transfer is relatively long, which takes about 20 minutes. The network can choose ordinary transfer or anonymous transfer, which has an impact on the level of privacy protection
most of the codes of zcash are very similar to bitcoin. For example, it is halved every four years, with a total of 21 million. Zcash has further improved the anonymity function of bitcoin. When it was released, it caused a sensation in the field of cryptography and blockchain. As a result, its price soared to more than seven times of bitcoin when it was first born. Zcash adopts POW consensus mechanism, block time is 2.5 minutes, block reward is 12.5 zecs, 20% of mining income in the first four years is automatically allocated to zcash team and investors.
the advantage of the video card miner is that it can dig other coins after one coin is collapsed. AISC mining machine is more efficient, but it can only dig a single currency.
