mining is the only way to obtain undeveloped bitcoin, which needs to purchase professional mining equipment for mining, which is called mining machine in the instry
bitcoin miner obtains bitcoin through a lot of calculation through hash algorithm. As we all know, the number of bitcoin is constant, 21 million. As time goes on, the number of miners increases and the number of miners decreases.
the difficulty of bitcoin system is dynamically adjusted. Every 2016 bitcoin is g, an adjustment will be made, The adjustment is based on the block time of the previous 2016 blocks. If the average block time of the previous cycle is less than 10 minutes, it will increase the difficulty. If it is more than 10 minutes, it will rece the difficulty. The purpose is to ensure that the system can output a block every 10 minutes, so the difficulty adjustment time is about 2 weeks (2016 * 10 minutes), that is to say, the output will be halved every four years, And the difficulty will be adjusted every 14 days, so the general trend seems that the output of mining will be less and less
2. Purchasing power for bitcoin
after the prevalence of mining, there are some bitcoin mines, that is, multiple mining machines are concentrated in one place for mining, unified maintenance and management, low electricity price, to rece the cost of mining
the most important parameter of bitcoin mining machine is computing power. The higher the computing power is, the higher the output will be. In the difficulty of bitcoin mining, how much bitcoin can be g with 1t computing power is also used to measure the current difficulty of mining. Therefore, some mines will directly sell computing power to users to dig coins. In this way, the mining risk is relatively lower, and there is no need to buy mining machines and equipment, and no need to maintain them, The maintenance and management of mining machine is relatively troublesome for Xiao
3. Reward for bitcoin
with the rising price of bitcoin, bitcoin has gained more popularity than before, and its position in virtual currency is also unmatched by other currencies. There are some real procts of reward bitcoin mechanism in the market, and cat disk is one of them< The simplest way to get bitcoin is to find the person who holds bitcoin to buy bitcoin, which is equivalent to buying goods. But bitcoin is not required by everyone. Therefore, it is necessary to find the person who holds bitcoin and carry out direct transfer transaction. At the same time, there are certain risks, The other side needs indivials to grasp whether they are cheaters or not, so I don't recommend such transactions on the basis of not being acquaintances or not having certain trust
2. Online trading
there are many trading platforms for bitcoin, large or small. At present, the relatively large and well-known trading platforms are Huo coin, coin security, okex, uto market,... And so on. These platforms are more convenient and safe as three-party guarantee transactions, and the only risk is platform running, But the possibility is relatively small, but some small platforms are not without security
100 bitcoins disappeared
Li received and installed mining tools. On the evening of October 26, he was inced by Michael to put 100 bitcoins in his wallet. However, when the bitcoin in the E-wallet just reached 100, it suddenly disappeared. Li suddenly panic God, and then contact Michael, the convenience of invisible disappeared
Li told reporters that at present, a bitcoin costs about 5000 or 6000 yuan, and 100 bitcoins are worth 500000 or 600000 yuan. Afterwards, Li reported the case to the police. However, to Li's disappointment, because bitcoin is a virtual currency, there is no relevant domestic law to regulate and protect its transactions. The police did not file a case“ Now, this man named Michael is still active on the Internet. He's just taking advantage of the law. " Li told Anhui Business Daily
there is a Trojan horse in "mining tools"
How could Li's bitcoin disappear? 360 security engineer contacted him and tested Michael's "mining tool", and found that this tool is a very popular "bitcoin robber" Trojan horse this year. According to the analysis of 360 security center, most of the "bitcoin thieves" Trojans are disguised as mining tools, simplified wallets and other compressed files. Once a player is recruited, the Trojan will automatically search for bitcoin wallets and steal them through e-mail, hacker remote control and other means.
this is also a distributed (decentralized) digital currency. Unlike the sha256 mining algorithm used by bitcoin, LTC adopts scrypt algorithm. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory. Each hash is used as the seed of the input, and then it needs a lot of memory to store another pseudo-random sequence to generate the pseudo-random points of the sequence and output the hash value. In the mining of BTC (bitcoin), it is not enough to rely on simple graphics card mining (it takes about ten to dozens of days to dig a BTC with general configuration graphics card). The emergence of various expensive mining machines has raised the threshold for ordinary people to get BTC through mining, while LTC has certain advantages in using PC graphics card mining This passage comes from Zhihu.)
compared with BTC, litecain has made a little improvement in technology. If BTC is gold now, LTC is silver for the time being
the biggest advantage of litecoin is that it can confirm the authenticity faster. The virtual currency is designed and maintained by Charles Lee. Bitcoin transactions need to be verified, and the average verification time is more than 10 minutes. Most transaction websites need 1 hour to verify. The average transaction confirmation time of liteoin is 2.5 minutes. Developers claim that shortening the verification time increases the practicability of virtual currency. The bitcoin mining efficiency of customized machine and AMD GPU is the highest, making it almost unprofitable for miners using CPU mining. Litecain's mining excludes GPUs and custom processors, so it doesn't rely too much on a small number of professional miners
ppcoin
ppcoin (PPC) was released on August 19, 2012, which has improved the original technology of BTC. Use proof of make and add the concept of coin age
ppcoin is a bifurcated project of bitcoin, which aims to achieve energy efficiency and maintain the best performance of the original bitcoin as far as possible. The unit price of ppcoin is US $0.22 and the total currency value is US $4 million
ppcoin does not have a fixed upper limit of money supply, but it does not mean that ppcoin has obvious inflation compared with bitcoin. Bitcoin can be compared to gold. The annual inflation rate of gold is about 1-3%. Although gold has no known upper limit of money supply, we still know that it is a reliable scarce commodity
ppcoin has two types of casting: work certificate and equity certificate. The coinage rate of working proof is affected by Moore's law, which depends on the doubling of our working proof ability. What we all know is that Moore's law will eventually come to an end. By then, the ppcoin of inflation may be close to the gold level. The annual maximum inflation rate of certificate of equity is 1%. At the same time, ppcoin's transaction costs were destroyed to fight inflation. So on the whole, the coin design of ppcoin is still a very low inflation design in the future, which can be comparable with bitcoin<
ppcoin's reward is similar to lottery, which will determine the winning probability according to the number of ppcoin held by miners. Sunny king, one of the founders, said that their design is based on a new concept of long-term energy efficiency
terracoin
terracoin (TRC) was released on October 26, 2012, with a total currency of 42 million. The speed of each block is 2 minutes, slightly faster than LTC. There is not much special in technology, similar to the proction of BTC halved every four years
however, the operation team seems to have a strong business background and may be better than other bitcoins in circulation. The development of virtual currency is getting more and more attention. Now some teams with business background will accelerate the development of virtual currency
namecoin
namecoin is a distributed domain name system based on bitcoin technology. Its principle is the same as bitcoin. The first release date of this open source software is April 18, 2011
namecoin is generated from an original block which is different from bitcoin's main trading block. It uses a new blockchain, which is independent of bitcoin's blockchain. Because it is based on bitcoin, the security, distribution, robustness, encryption and migration of domain names are guaranteed mathematically. You can dig bitcoin and namecoin at the same time
this project was discussed and proposed by bitdns, which is mainly dissatisfied with the defects of DNS. The only top-level domain name of namecoin is. Bit. It costs namecoin to register a. Bit domain name
in addition, Q currency, Shanda currency, starting point currency and various online game currencies are also virtual currencies.
on the evening of October 23, Beijing time, the 150th anniversary edition of Nature magazine published a paper claiming that Google has successfully achieved "quantum hegemony" this event named "Hello world" in the quantum field immediately occupied the front page of the mainstream media, and the description of "quantum computing in 200 seconds = 10000 years of the most powerful supercomputer on earth" in the paper has become a hot topic of the whole Internet
at present, many cryptography and quantum cryptography experts are advocating the establishment of financial security system as soon as possible, except that the encryption currency projects such as TaiFang and quantum chain focus on quantum resistance. According to William tooton, a reporter from Bloomberg technology, on twitter last month, the National Security Bureau has been committed to the research of related technologies. Therefore, unless the threat of quantum computing suddenly erupts, bitcoin still has time to deal with its arrival“ Bitcoin is alive, consensus is there, currency is there, if not upgraded, it will not disappear because of algorithms or vulnerabilities. But the problem of quantum resistance has not been solved. With the continuous development of quantum computers and the arrival of more qubit chips, this will still be the sword of Damocles hanging on the head of cryptocurrency. "< br />
Compared with bitcoin's prestige, although the rise of the value of ether currency is more terrible than that at the beginning of the year, its reputation and market scale are still inferior to bitcoin. Peter szilagyi, director of bitcoin development team, brought the data of Ethernet network nodes to Google Earth to tell you clearly how Ethernet will dominate the digital currency world in the future
in the two years since its birth, Ethereum has rapidly occupied the rich countries or regions in the world
if we compare the richer regions in the world, such as Europe and North America, with the poorer regions in Asia and South America, & quot; In an email interview with CNBC, szilagyi wrote: & lt; You will find that the density of active nodes is related to the transportation convenience, instrialization and affluence of the region. In my opinion, this correlation is e to the relatively concentrated resources required for the full operation of Ethereum& rdquo;
