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

< H2 > extended materials:

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

Those people are living a good life now, those who played bitcoin in the early days & lt; The pig of tuyere & quot; Made a lot of money

I. Nakamoto found bitcoin, and now it is fading out of the bitcoin circle< p> the discussion of bitcoin in many forums is no longer limited to & quot; Is bitcoin a scam;, Instead, it extends to & lt; Can bitcoin become a global currency in my opinion, bitcoin is a full digital bubble. A virtual currency constructed by algorithm has no national support behind it. Moreover, the scarcity of bitcoin will inevitably lead to its appreciation very quickly, especially under the guidance of market economy. behind the currencies used by countries in daily life are endorsements with national prestige, just like the reason why the US dollar circulates around the world is not because the strong national strength of the United States ensures the liquidity of the US dollar Nakamoto's original simple idea of letting bitcoin replace the currencies of various countries and become the object of global circulation is a joke in terms of power struggle between countries

5. In January 2013, Avalon released the 60g / s miner specification and accepted the booking. In January 2013, Avalon delivered the world's first commercial bitcoin ASIC miner, and the core developer of bitcoin network, Jeff
garzik, was fortunate to be the owner of the first commercial ASIC miner.
the most difficult mining problem was 0, and the computing power was about 2p at the beginning of 2013, and now it has reached 100p

6. Bitcoin mining machine for bitcoin mining equipment mining equipment ordinary computer USB mining machine professional ASIC mining machine with ordinary computer CPU really for bitcoin mining. Because bitcoin mining has formed a huge instry all over the world, ordinary computer is difficult to dig bitcoin. You need to buy expensive and professional bitcoin ASIC mining machine and join bitcoin miners' organization to dig bitcoin, that is, join the mine to mine bitcoin The threshold of mining machine market is high. It is suggested that new players who want to dig for gold should be cautious. At present, bitcoin mining needs professional ASIC mining machine. For example, Avalon mining machine, the mainstream of the market, is said to be the fourth generation of Avalon 28nm process chip, that is, the chip flow. It is expected that the focus of research and development will be on the fifth generation of chip 16nm process chip

8. Mining machine manufacturers have gone through several major reshuffles. At present, the more active mining machine manufacturers are Ajie mining machine, ant mining machine, and of course, several well-known foreign mining machine manufacturers. Avalon, the earliest miner in the coin circle, and roast cat have disappeared. On the one hand, the upgrading speed of mining machinery is too fast, on the other hand, the strength of the R & D team has been unable to keep up with the needs of the times

however, each miner has its own advantages. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. The scope of application is different. Some mining machines have high energy consumption, high computing power and low price, which are suitable for users with low electricity price; Some mining machines have low energy consumption, high efficiency, high price and high electricity price. Of course, you can also go to bitcoin home to check the recent mining related reports.

9. Since the birth of bitcoin, bitcoin mining has gone through the following four stages:
CPU mining → GPU mining → professional miner mining → mine pool mining
on January 3, 2009, the founder of bitcoin, Nakamoto Tsung, g up the first batch of bitcoin with computer CPU
with the recognition of bitcoin, more and more people are mining, the computing power of the whole network is rising, and the difficulty of mining is graally rising
the first graphics card mining software was released on September 18, 2010. A graphics card is equivalent to dozens of CPUs, and the mining capacity has been significantly improved
later, someone invented a professional mining equipment based on mining chip, namely mining machine. At present, the instry-leading ant miner is equipped with nearly 200 bm1387 chips, which is equivalent to the computing power of more than 30000 GPUs
as more mining machines are added to mining, it is difficult for a single mining machine to dig bitcoin. As a result, the miners concentrated their mining machines and formed mines and pools.
