Fishing boat miner mining pit
mining chip has gone from CPU mining to GPU mining to FPGA mining, and now it has entered the era of ASIC mining. However, the way of mining has also experienced from one or two mining machines to small mining machine workshops, and now it has entered the era of large-scale mining
(1) mining mode: from one miner to large-scale mine
if you start to try mining, you need to prepare a miner, a computer with internet connection, an AUC, a raspberry pie, power supply and various connecting cables. The connection order of various devices is network cable - & gt; Raspberry pie - & gt; Microusb cable - & gt; AUC-> 4Pin cable - & gt; Mining machine and power supply
how to mine a mine pool
the location of a mine pool is also very particular. It's not that a mine pool can be built anywhere, but it needs early-stage capital investment. A mine pool is to combine a single mining machine together. Because of the collection of many miners' computing power, the computing power of the mine pool accounts for a large proportion, and the probability of digging bitcoin is higher. The mine pool will distribute rewards according to the contribution value of each equipment
there are many mines all over the world, and the scale of each mine varies from big to small. Generally, small mines no longer have great advantages. Large mines have many miners for mining. For each miner, he can join any mine or join multiple mines at the same time, The first task of the mine pool is to distribute the income to the miners
(1) PPLNs method
this method gathers the shares g by all miners together. Whenever a certain amount of shares is accumulated (generally 30 million shares), the mine pool will allocate the profits of the previous stage to the miners according to the proportion of contribution
in this way, the income of miners depends entirely on the time needed to dig 30 million shares in the mine pool. If you are lucky, you can dig them in a short time, then the income of miners will be more, otherwise it will be less. In return, the pool charges a 3% tax
(2) PPS mode
for users, the income of this mode is relatively stable
the profit mainly depends on the miner's mining speed. As long as the mining speed is stable, the corresponding profit can be obtained, and the profit is real-time, that is, the mine pool will pay the profit for the miner while the miner is running
obviously, every time a block is calculated, the mine pool has paid for all the miners. If the block fails in the subsequent confirmation link, all the losses will be paid by the pool operator. Therefore, this method reces the risk of the miners, but transfers the risk to the pool operator
therefore, usually the ore pool can charge a handling fee to make up for the possible losses caused by these risks. In this mode, the tax of the ore pool is 7.5%
the above is about how to mine. The difficulty of mining has greatly increased, but the mining army is expanding. If the basic equipment does not meet the standard, it will be difficult to gain in the mining instry, because the value of the virtual currency may not be equal to the price of an equipment, and many miners are not just digging bitcoin, Instead, we choose other virtual currencies to mine.
Bitmine is real
bitcoin is proced by mining. Every 10 minutes, the miners of the whole network work out an arithmetic problem together. Whoever works out the answer first is equivalent to digging into this block, and the miner can get the bitcoin reward of system rebirth
after bitcoin is g in the mine, the income is distributed according to the proportion of the mine's computing power, so as to ensure a more stable input-output
every other time point, bitcoin system will generate a random code on the system node. All computers in the Internet can search for this code. Whoever finds this code will generate a block and then get a bitcoin. This process is often called mining. Computing this random code requires a lot of GPU operations, so the miners purchase a large number of graphics cards to get bitcoin profits more quickly, which is also an important reason for the recent shortage of graphics cards
