Bitcoin's miner and graphics card
in fact, n card has greatly enhanced the mining efficiency in the Maxwell architecture, not inferior to a card. But the Maxwell architecture came out too late. When the earliest Maxwell architecture graphics card, such as gtx750ti / 750, came into the market (early 2014), the mainstream currencies could not dig out anything with graphics cards (all mining machines). Therefore, few people use n-card mining.
Starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique
why use graphics card to mine
compared with the complex computing of CPU, GPU used by graphics card is used for general computing. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance is much stronger than that of CPU. p>
the actions in bitcoin can be considered as the use of graphics card to do continuous general computing, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive. The stream processor used by graphics card is just suitable for such an algorithm. It's like constantly solving equations. The graphics card is 2000 middle school students, while the CPU is 8 math doctors. Although the mathematical knowledge of the doctor of mathematics is far more than that of the middle school students, the speed of solving medium-sized equations such as virtual currency is certainly not as fast as that of 2000 middle school students
so we used graphics card to mine virtual currency at the beginning. After that, someone developed a specific algorithm to make the stream processor of the graphics card greatly strengthen the virtual currency solution, which is the origin of the mining machine
for example, bitcoin, lightcoin, gold card, reborn coin, doggy coin, lightcoin, Ruitai coin, bitstock and other digital currencies can be downloaded from rich packages
but there is no wallet to download MLM or some direct selling coins
for example: Baichuan coin, Morgan coin, treasure coin, etc.
if you just want to practice the use of mining software, you can. If you want to make a profit, you can't.
