What does filpool do
mining steps:
(1) Download bitcoin official client, click here to download bitcoin official client
(2) after installing the client, start the client, and the client will start to synchronize network data within 3 minutes after startup. Because bitcoin data is huge, it may take several hours (depending on network speed and computer performance). The picture shows the client synchronizing network data:
please make sure that your C disk has more than 10GB of free space. If the C disk is not enough, you need to set the data to D disk or e disk. Check the method of putting bitcoin packets to D disk
(3) if your client displays English and you are not good at English, You can set it to Chinese. Click here to see how to set the bitcoin client to Chinese.
(4) the client's synchronization of network data will not affect our mining. First, we get our account address and click the "collection address" button of the client. At this time, you will see a very long list of addresses, similar to your bitcoin account, The bitcoin account address is automatically generated and unique in the world
(5) your account is now 0.00 BTC, which means you don't have bitcoin yet, but you can start mining now. Download an easy-to-use mining software cgminer. Click here to download the bitcoin mining software cgminer (cgminer can dig bitcoin and most of the coins, But not all currency mining can use cgminer)
(6) you need to confirm your graphics card model, if it is NVIDIA graphics card, then you can directly mine, please skip this step. If it is an ATI graphics card, you need to install an AMD SDK package in addition to cgminer. Click here to download the AMD SDK installation package
(7) cgminer is an English interface, but it does not affect a rookie to use it. Please unzip the downloaded cgminer to anywhere on your computer, and then enter the cgminer folder
(8) in the cgminer folder, create a new text file (txt) and write the content code as:
cgminer - O http://pool.btc38.com : 9332 - U XXXXXX - P btc38
change the above XXXXXX to the account address of your BTC wallet (get your address according to section 4 of this tutorial), After filling in, it is shown in the figure:
Xiaobian has configured the mine pool and port for you in the above code (the mine pool is a completely free mine pool provided by bitage). If you want to use other mine pools and ports in the future, please modify the mine pool URL and port by yourself
(9) change the. TXT suffix of the newly created TXT text file to. Bat suffix (if you compare dishes, the suffix will not be displayed at the back of the text file and the file name suffix will not be changed, please click here). After modification, the file is as shown in the figure:
(10) then double-click the run.bat file above to start mining. For example, if you get 0.001 bitcoin, it will be stored in the BTC address you fill in. (because BTC mining is very difficult at this stage, you may have to wait for a whole day to get BTC revenue. When mining, there may be some cards on the computer screen, because most of the resources of the graphics card are occupied.). (11) you may also want to know how to understand the mining interface. The figure below mainly indicates your speed and status:
note: in fact, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large, and the output of bitcoin every 10 minutes is very limited, so mining is very difficult, If you have a powerful graphics card, there will be certain benefits. If your graphics card is not good, it may take you n hours to get a little bit of bitcoin. This tutorial is written by Xiaotian, editor of bitage (btc38. Com). The purpose is to let you get started and experience bitcoin. If you want to get better benefits through mining, You need to learn more about bitcoin pools and bitcoin mining strategies
4. Bitcoin mining pool
as mentioned above, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large, and the output of bitcoin every 10 minutes is very limited, resulting in the situation that tens of millions of people scramble for a block. Therefore, if you use personal computers to mine alone, you may not be able to grab a block in a whole year, People have come up with a team mining method. The so-called team mining is the mining pool that we are going to talk about now
the mine pool is a server designed through a specific algorithm. All users connected to the mine pool server will form a team to mine. Although the performance of personal computers is small, the overall performance of thousands of people will become very powerful. In this case, the success rate of mining will be greatly improved, Once the team in the mine successfully creates a block, then all the team members will pay dividends according to the performance of each person's computer. For example, 1000 people are mining in the same mine pool. After digging out a block, the reward of n bitcoins generated by the block will be distributed according to the computer performance of the 1000 people. If your computer performance is strong, it may get 1 in 100; if the performance is backward, it may get 1 in 10000
in this case, the developer of the mine pool will generally charge 1% ~ 3% of the fee for each user as a handling fee, but because this method makes it more stable for everyone to get bitcoin, almost everyone will choose to mine in the mine pool instead of mining alone
as mentioned in the mining tutorial above, the mine pool provided free of charge in the bit age adopts the P2P technology architecture and does not charge any fees to users. It is one of the mainstream mine pools. In addition, there are BTC guild and deepbit, which are also very popular. Although the design of each mine pool is not the same, but the use method is basically the same and simple, so this tutorial will not do further description, you can explore by yourself. Even though Xiaobian has configured the mine pool and port provided by bit era for you by default in the previous tutorial, in order to let you have a deeper understanding of the mine pool, here are several mainstream mine pools for you to choose:
bit mine pool (free, recommended by Xiaobian) | bitcoin.cz (suitable for novices) | BTC Guide (the oldest brand) | deepbit (stable and efficient) | f2pool (domestic)

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

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 tokenB. 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 -
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
-
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

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
Bitcoin mining machine is a kind of computer used to earn bitcoin. This kind of computer generally has professional mining chips and works in the way of burning graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. It is one of the ways to get bitcoin that users download software from personal computer and then run specific algorithm to get corresponding bitcoin after communicating with remote server
mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment, and a competition of computing power among miners. Miners with more computing power are more likely to dig bitcoin. With the increase of computing power in the whole network, it is more and more difficult to dig bits with traditional devices (CPU, GPU). People have developed chips specially used for mining. Chip is the core part of mining machine. The process of chip operation will proce a lot of heat, in order to cool down, bitcoin miner is generally equipped with heat sink and fan
bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency. Bitcoin mining system is the process of carrying out mathematical operation for bitcoin network through computer hardware. Miners who provide services can get a reward, because the network reward is calculated according to the tasks completed by miners, so the competition for mining is very fierce
bitcoin mining started with low-cost hardware such as CPU or GPU, but with the popularity of bitcoin, the mining process has changed greatly. Nowadays, the mining activities are transferred to the field programmable gate array, and the hash speed can be achieved through optimization. The mining efficiency of this mode is very high
The ranking of domestic filecoin mining pool is relatively clear, but there is no very strict measurement in IPFs field. The basis for judging whether the mining pool is efficient depends on its unit output efficiency! Interstellar infinite has developed the Shensuan mining pool system exclusively, and the mining efficiency has been far ahead of the global mining pool systems
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
there has been no major safety accident in the fishpond f2pool. In addition, 51% of the problems often occur in large foreign mines, which also gives the fishpond f2pool opportunities for rapid development. They are all people in the circle, and they also work as information websites and have a wide range of contacts.
