How much does it cost to build a mine pool

at present, the computing power of bitcoin in the whole network has reached 2.36 billion hash collisions per second, which is equivalent to the number of water droplets in more than 200000 50 meter long standard swimming pools. But even with such a large amount of computing power, it will take about 10 minutes to hit a hash value that meets the requirements

in 2012, bitcoin's output was halved for the first time, and in July 2016, bitcoin's output was halved for the second time. At present, 12.5 bitcoins are awarded for recording one page of account book. The next halving will take place around 2020, and the total number of bitcoins will not increase by 2040, with a total of 21 million. In other words, the difficulty of digging bitcoin is increasing, while the time required is increasing

1. at present, according to the official income method of fil, there are three ways: one is to provide hard disk storage to obtain income (storage miner), the other is to provide bandwidth resources to obtain retrieval income (retrieval miner), and the third is mining and packing block income (storage miner). Based on the above rules, only enterprise level and cloud mine pool can meet the three kinds of income at present

   In terms of configuration, based on mining rules, the following configuration suggestions are given:

   CPU: 4 cores or above, Inteli series is the best, memory is at least 8g, if you want to get retrieval revenue, memory needs more than 16g, hard disk space is recommended to be more than 4T to get storage revenue

2. household mining machine (current situation analysis, There are the following disadvantages:
   A. more than 95% of domestic IP addresses are not static, which leads to mining default platform withholding pledge token

   B. you need to buy pledge token, and you need to spend some extra money to buy token to start

   C. the sound of power outage is loud, and the events affecting neighbors lead to no income

   D. unfortunately, your family is in the second, third, fourth and fifth tier cities, Basically, we can't get the order

   e. the home miner advertised by a Yingkuang machine can't mine and can be retrieved. The retrieval needs an uplink bandwidth of at least 10m, and the space-time proof (IPFs anti cheating mechanism) may need a higher stable bandwidth of more than 20m. Who's community's network can meet the above requirements within 24 hours, so the retrieval is also very difficult

   It is said that the investors who started brainwashing and bought the household miner in March of 18 bought a small box at 5-10 times the price and put it at home as a decoration, so the household miner is used to cut leeks, because it has a low threshold, and then you can hardly dig fil

3. Enterprise trusteeship miner

   a, In terms of hardware configuration, the cost of setting up a mine is relatively high. If the leasing meets the national application conditions, the purchase price of a single configuration combination is about 3-10 times of the cost price, which is relatively high

   B. the same computer room is generally leased to multiple enterprises for storage and application, which will lead to multiple operating systems running at the same time, Lack of unity, easy to be attacked by hackers

   C. vicious competition of all mining machines in the mine, internal consumption of computing power, unbalanced order distribution, resulting in some machines grabbing orders and some machines not having orders, and Unbalanced Income

   D. different independent IPFs mining machine systems, it is difficult to unify parameter grabbing orders in real time

   E. unable to resist regional policy risks, For example, the national policy risk

   F. the biggest advantage of enterprise level is high configuration, centralized basic management, and room conditions are superior to household mining machines. At the same time, the above situation is accompanied by

4. cloud mining pool

   A. computing power leasing, the price is relatively low for hosting mining machines, The leasing time is controllable

   B. the IDC rooms of general cloud mine pool are defense class, which can prevent hackers from intruding

   C. the output of the mine pool is shared throughout the network, and there is no worry about the failure of a purchased node, and there is no income

   D. the hardware input is allocated throughout the network, and the personal input-output ratio is cost-effective

   E. unified scale management, and there is no single node debugging, Single maintenance status

   D. node layout is generally multi city and multi country, regional policy risk

   E. third party real-time monitoring, high degree of information disclosure, always know the output status of ore pool

   F. unified operation and maintenance system, real-time unified parameter adjustment, pricing strategy, order grabbing strategy, storage strategy

5. for the above analysis, At present, the existing cloud mining pools in China, such as a cat cloud mining pool, a Yingyun node, an inter cloud mining pool, and a chain cloud mining pool, claim to be globally distributed in the publicity. After actual verification, their mining pools are either small private mines established by themselves or professional mining machine trusteers cooperated in China, and most of them are limited to China, Because the construction cost of the mine pool is very high, and the cost of cooperation with domestic cloud service providers is even higher, we should set up our own small mine pool to publicize the global layout

   currently, it is recommended to learn about "Noah cloud pool". After verification, the channel cloud service providers of Noah cloud pool are currently cooperating in Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany and Poland, and their technical background is relatively strong. Please check other relevant information

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
