X13gpu miner
The miner is better
-
the electricity charge for mining with graphics card is very high, and the performance is not high, so it can't even earn the electricity charge
-
mining is an investment more than time and speed. We should try to dig more money in the shortest time. Therefore, the professional mining machines of BTC now stress the characteristics of simple operation, small footprint and low power consumption. For example, Yingtai has developed a professional mining motherboard with a computing power of 23.488g/hash, and the proct model is btc-24gh< br />
when building bitcoin, Nakamoto wants bitcoin to be a decentralized currency, not only for use and trading, but also for mining. But it backfired. With the increasing value of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, mining has become an instry. The competition is more and more fierce, and the pursuit of mining computing power is higher and higher. Therefore, from ordinary computer mining, ASIC mining machine and GPU mining machine have evolved
the algorithm of ASIC mining machine is almost sha256, while the algorithm of GPU mining is different. For example, the algorithm of BTG is equihash, and the algorithm of BCD is optimized x13. Although it is not absolute, it can be simply considered that the currency of sha256 algorithm is generally mined by ASIC mining machine. Other algorithms are basically using GPU miner. There are also exceptions. Scrypt's Leyte coin used to be mined by GPU miner, but later scrypt's algorithm was also conquered by ASIC chips, such as ant miner L3 +, which is the ASIC miner used to dig Leyte coin
ASIC miner refers to the miner that uses ASIC chip as the core of computing power. ASIC is the abbreviation of application specific integrated circuit, which is a kind of electronic circuit (chip) specially designed for a specific purpose. Some mining machinery factories have designed ASIC chips specially for computing the sha256 algorithm of bitcoin, and the mining machinery using them is ASIC mining machinery. Because ASIC chip is only built for specific computing, its efficiency can be much higher than that of CPU. For example, the current mainstream ant miner S9 is ASIC miner, which uses 189 ASIC chips, the computing power reaches 13.5th/s, and the power consumption is only 1350W. As a comparison, the computing power of gtx1080ti, the flagship computer graphics card, will not exceed 60mh / s even if it is optimized well. The difference is tens of thousands of times
GPU miner refers to the miner that uses GPU graphics card as the core of computing power. Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, bitcoin and diamond use graphics algorithms, so the speed of computing with graphics card will be the highest. Compared with ASIC miner, GPU miner is more well-known, because it is a computer with enhanced graphics card configurationthe purpose of GPU miner is to make money, so we should pursue the power consumption ratio and maximum profit, so we should pay attention to the cost performance. Generally, the medium and high-end positioning graphics cards, such as AMD rx560 and rx570, have high power consumption ratio, which is a good choice for GPU miner. While flagship cards such as gtx1080ti and AMD vega64 have the strongest single card performance, they are not cost-effective in terms of price and power consumption
in addition, the ASIC miner also has some exotic procts, such as the USB miner of burning cat, which is slightly larger than the U disk, and the power consumption is only 2.25w, which is the smallest bitcoin miner at present
< / blockquote >the above quoted digcoin.com - "Introction to mining machinery classification" has many professional terms. I hope it can help you, thank you
What about ASIC? It is a more optimized circuit than the CPU mentioned above. There is no specific definition, but there is a rule in the field of chip design: the more general computing platform, the less efficient it is to complete specific computing. ASIC is the most dedicated computing platform. If we understand this, we can come to such a basic conclusion: in the mining field, if we use the computing power proof mechanism, as long as the CPU can dig, ASIC can dig. No matter what algorithm is used, ASIC can dig. There is no reason that CPU can dig, but ASIC can't, So the biggest difference between GPU and ASIC is their specific computing power.
the essence of BTC / eth mining machine is data computing equipment
mining has developed from the initial personal computer mining, video card mining and personal mining machine mining at home to the cluster and professional large-scale mining. No matter from the initial CPU mining, GPU mining, or later FPGA mining, ASIC mining, large-scale cluster mining, its essence is to focus on improving the data computing capacity of mining equipment. The main internal parts of the mining machine are the power calculation board or graphics card, and the large cooling fan
the essence of IPFs miner is data storage device
the different essence of miner makes the configuration characteristics of storage miner very different from BTC / eth miner. The storage miner mainly used for data storage does not need too much computing power, that is, the performance of CPU is not required to be too high, and the memory capacity is suitable, but it needs a large capacity of storage space. That is to say, the density of hard disk per unit space should be large, and as many hard disks as possible should be equipped. At the same time, the I / O performance of data storage should be high, and the bandwidth channel should be as high as possible. Because of the special requirements of data storage, mining machine must be stable, safe and not easy to damage
filecoin officially announced that GPU is needed for mining. Although it means that computing power resources are also needed, the miners who use GPU get rewards for mining blocks. Most of them don't participate in mining blocks and only provide storage devices. They don't need GPU and can mine as long as they have a hard disk
