Pool GPU
The first step in setting up mining equipment is to choose the right hardware. This article will focus on GPU (graphics card) mining, of course, you can use CPU or ASIC equipment mining. Amd graphics card architecture is very beneficial to mining. NVIDIA card is not suitable for mining because of its low hash rate. The best NVIDIA graphics cards are less than 0.5 megahash. Notebook Hardware mining is not as good as NVIDIA card, which is a bad option for mining. You need to use a desktop system for mining. There is a desktop system to ensure adequate cooling of the hardware
the graphics card or card needs to be able to match the motherboard, and the power supply must have enough PCI-E connectors. Before determining the graphics card, pay attention to these. In order for the system to cool down sufficiently, you need to remove the cover of the chassis in order to get better heat dissipation. This is what people call "open air rig.". If you can aim the system at a fan or air conditioner, you can make the device cooler when it's running, thus extending its life and keeping it efficient
After the computing power of the whole network has been improved to a certain extent, the probability of getting rewards is too low, so that some geeks on "bitcoin talk" can develop a method that can combine a small amount of computing power and operate jointly, and use this method to build websites
in this mechanism, no matter how much computing power an indivial miner can use, as long as he participates in mining activities by joining the mine pool, no matter whether he has successfully mined effective data blocks, he can get a small amount of bitcoin reward through his contribution to the mine pool, that is to say, many people cooperate in mining, and the bitcoin reward is shared by many people according to their contribution
as of January 2019, the top five bitcoin pools in global computing power are btc.com, pool, antpool, flush pool, and f2pool. At present, about 70% of global computing power is in the hands of Chinese miners
extended data:
handling charge:
bitcoin miners will charge a small amount of fees for most transactions, the main purpose of which is to prevent people from sending a large number of boring small transactions and wasting network resources. At present, most of the handling charges for each transaction are & T 3647; 0.0001/kb (0.0001btc / KB). In fact, after 0.9.0, the default handling charge will be reced to & 3647; 0.00001/KB(0.00001 btc/KB)
because the amount of data occupied by most transactions is less than 1 kilobyte, generally speaking, the amount of data is less than 3647; 0.00001 (0.00001 BTC / KB) is enough. At the same time, in the future, when the bitcoin block rewards are less, the service charge will become the main source of miners' income, and the service charge of bitcoin will be related to the number of bytes occupied by the transaction
at present, the calculation standard of service charge in bitcoin system is not mandatory, so users can not give any service charge when the transaction is in progress
however, most miners usually give priority to the transaction with higher handling charges when building data blocks, so that they can get higher remuneration when mining is successful. Therefore, the transaction without any handling charges may take a long time to be processed and incorporated into the blockchain
in addition, e to the block capacity limit of 1MB and the recent increase in bitcoin transaction volume, the handling charges have increased significantly, and the waiting time for the transaction to be confirmed has also become much longer
in short, mining is to use the chip to carry out 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
take a popular example:
I write a string of numbers on a piece of paper and give some hints. Whoever guesses correctly will be given a bonus (mining)
smart people can make more guesses (calculation ability)
some people pay money to invite many people to come back and guess together (mining)
some people call everyone together to guess, no matter who guesses, Distribute the bonus (mine pool) according to the proportion of guessing times of each person
the rest is too long, you can search by yourself...
