Is ant miner burning display card

1.

Generally, there are professional graphics cards to mine, and the mine is actually bitcoin. Users download the mining software from the computer and then run a specific algorithm. After communicating with the remote server, they can get the corresponding bitcoin. Most of them work by burning the graphics card, so the power consumption is large

the graphics cards and mine cards are usually ATI chips. The bitcoin market is not good, so the miners take out their mining cards and sell them as second-hand

what is mining

to put it simply, mining is to use the chip to perform a calculation related to the random number, and get the answer in exchange for a virtual coin. virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer. It's possible that one chip will find the answer in the next second, or ten chips won't find the answer in a week. The more chips compute at the same time, the easier it is to find the answer, and the mining machine with built-in multi chips appears. And a number of mining machines to form a "mine" at the same time mining is to improve efficiency. In the mine pool, multiple "self-employed" join an organization to mine together. No matter who finds the answer and digs out the virtual coin, everyone gets the corresponding reward according to the calculation ability of contribution. This way can make the income of "self-employed" more stable

relationship between mining and graphics card

the stronger the computing power of ant miner, the easier it is to dig out virtual coins. Accordingly, when the more virtual coins are g out, the difficulty of mining will be increased accordingly, so as to control the yield of virtual coins. The virtual currency is not unlimited. The total number of bitcoin is 84 million

2. Bit miner, no graphics card.

Ant miner is the first cryptocurrency miner brand in the world with a market share of about 70%. The mining machine is developed by bitmainland and has a patent in mainland China. At the beginning, ant miner had only bitcoin miner. Later, its business expanded to other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, dascoin, Leyte, Monroe, etc

ant mining machine adopts ASIC chip designed by bitcontinental, which is proced by TSMC. All chips are made of BM prefix. Each miner has three to four circuit boards, and there are dozens of chips on the circuit board. Therefore, each miner can only be used to mine one or more cryptocurrencies using the same algorithm

ant mining machine needs special mining software, and can not use third-party software. In addition, because of its high power, the ant miner also needs to be used with a special fire ox

The ant miner is often criticized as monopolizing the cryptocurrency mining instry e to its 70% market share, which goes against the purpose of cryptocurrency decentralization. Because Monroe was worried that the mining machinery would monopolize the mining market, Monroe announced to change the mining algorithm a few days after the launch of Monroe (X3 model) despite the opposition of Monroe community, so that all mining machinery could not be used to mine Monroe. Bitcontinent also encountered the failure of its first proct here

the ant miner will use a lot of electricity and proce a lot of waste heat in the process of operation. This leads to a large amount of electricity being consumed for mining or cooling, causing a lot of social criticism. Too much ant mining machine at the same time also led to fire and power failure, causing social inconvenience

4. The main reason is that the quality of the graphics card can not be guaranteed
for mining, all mining machines do not shut down for several months. And the graphics card is always full of work, there is no time to rest
some of them are still used in overclocking mode, which is much more intensive than the personal home graphics card used for several years.

5. Obviously, the graphics card is responsible for the management of your computer display. If it goes wrong, there will be problems in the blue screen. For example, if the temperature of the graphics card is too high, the normal work of the graphics card will be affected, and the blue screen may appear

6. Most of ant mining machines are ASIC chip mining machines
a few are graphics card mining machines, such as ant G2, which has eight rx570 graphics card GPU chips

7. Compared with CPU, GPU computing will have an absolute advantage in bitcoin mining
1. CPU is mainly optimized for serial instructions, while GPU is optimized for massively parallel operations
2. Modern multi-core CPU aims at instruction set parallelism (ILP) and task parallelism (TLP), while GPU is data parallelism (DLP)
3. GPU often has a larger bandwidth of memory, that is, the so-called video memory, so it will also have good performance in high throughput applications
the CPU needs strong generality to deal with various data types, and at the same time, it also needs logical judgment, and it will introce a lot of branch jump and interrupt processing. All these make the internal structure of CPU extremely complex. GPU is faced with highly unified, interdependent large-scale data and pure computing environment without interruption. GPU uses a large number of computing units and ultra long pipeline, but it only has very simple control logic and saves cache. The CPU not only occupies a lot of space by cache, but also has complex control logic and many optimization circuits. So unlike CPU, GPU is good at large-scale concurrent computing, which is suitable for password cracking
in short, CPU is a general-purpose operation. In short, it means brainless calculation and violent calculation. Whether it's 100 children sharing apples or simulating the earth, it can be decomposed into the most basic calculation of 1 + 1 = 2. GPU is specially designed to deal with high-order mathematical algorithms, such as calculating the relative positions of light source, object, viewpoint and shadow, which requires trigonometric functions to be piled up. The bitcoin digger uses SHA-256, a secure hash function invented by the US National Security Agency, which is generally used for password encryption and decryption. This algorithm can perform a large number of 32-bit integer right-rotate operations, which is very suitable for GPU which is good at large-scale concurrent computing and password cracking.

8. Although the power interface of ant S1 mining machine is the same as the power interface of the graphics card, and the graphics card can also be used for mining, the mining machine can not be used as a graphics card. At least, there is no graphics card interface. If the mining machine can calculate the program of the graphics card in a timely way through expansion, then it will certainly have no gain or loss. It is meaningless. In theory, it can be transformed into a graphics card, but in theory!

9. The general difference between professional miner and video card miner is that professional miner is a little better in terms of calculation, but it is easy to deal with the late mine disaster of video card miner.
