Virtual currency making money by mining
in the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, etc., which can be used to buy Herbs and equipment, but only in his own game console; The special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider is used to purchase the services within the website
there are four types of virtual currency in the market:
1. Game currency developed by game operators for players to use as a trading medium in online games
2. A special virtual currency issued by the portal or instant messaging tools for use in the operating cyberspace
3. Interactive virtual currency, which can be used in the issuing entity of virtual currency and can purchase goods and services from non issuing entities
4. Based on cryptography and modern network P2P technology, a special electronic and digital network cryptocurrency is proced through complex mathematical algorithm
the instrialization of virtual money will form a virtual money market. If the emergence of the stock market is the proct of the combination of instrial capital and financial capital, then virtual currency will be the proct of the combination of service capital and financial capital. Modern service instry, especially personalized modern information service instry, will become the instrial foundation of personalized virtual currency
the personalized virtual money market is different from the stock market and derivative financial instrument market. The latter is more established for the needs of instrialization, which is also reflected in meeting the needs of the so-called modern service instry; The instrial foundation of the former is closely related to the demand of informatization
The future of the tertiary instry is different from the service instry, its development direction is the post-modern service instry, that is, the experience instry, that is, more personalized instry to meet the development needs of spirit, culture and entertainment. The stock market will make more use of information to guide the rational investment of instry and service instry, while the personalized virtual money market will make more use of information to guide the perceptual consumption of experience instryjoin the army of mining to mine; Carry out the spot and futures trading of virtual currency on the trading platform to earn the price difference; Use your own goods or services in exchange for virtual currency
virtual currency is legal in China. At the end of 2013, the central bank defined bitcoin and other virtual currencies as a kind of special Internet goods. People can buy and sell freely at their own risk, denying its monetary attribute.
in view of the possible risks of virtual currency, many international organizations and central banks have responded publicly to the supervision of virtual currency system. These responses can be roughly divided into four categories: warning and risk warning, supervision and registration permission, legislative norms, and explicit prohibition
(1) warning and risk warning
some central banks and regulators have issued risk warnings against the special currency and virtual currency system. The federal financial regulatory authority of Germany, the Bank of France, the central banks of the Netherlands and Belgium have issued public warnings against the possible money laundering and terrorist financing caused by the use of bitcoin. In the report released at the end of 2013, the European Banking authority (EBA) warned consumers of many risks of virtual currency, such as exchange loss, e-wallet theft, unprotected payment, price fluctuation and so on. Although Spain did not have a similar risk warning, it issued a timely information announcement related to virtual currency
(2) supervision and registration license
generally speaking, international organizations believe that the supervision of virtual currency should find a balance between risk prevention and innovation promotion. Since 2012, Sweden has required transactions related to virtual currency to be registered with financial regulators. Other countries pay attention to qualification supervision, so as to make it indirectly meet the requirements of prudential supervision. In other countries, the regulation mainly focuses on the business model of virtual currency transaction. The financial prudential regulatory authority of France regards the provision of bitcoin circulation and trading services and the act of earning funds in the process as a payment service and requires the authorization of the government. In addition, some countries focus on the intermediary institutions related to virtual currency. The German federal financial regulatory agency and Danish regulators believe that the provision of intermediary services for virtual currency needs to be authorized< (3) legislative norms
at present, some countries have proposed legislation to regulate virtual currency transactions. Canada plans to legislate to allow the government to supervise the transaction of bitcoin, and to include the transaction of more than US $10000 into the scope of suspicious supervision. The United States hopes to adjust the relevant legal structure should be compared with the development of the special currency. In order to make the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) applicable in the context of network, the financial crime enforcement network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued the explanatory guidance on the behavior and subject definition of private generation, holding, distribution, trading, acceptance and transmission of virtual currency in 2013. The European central bank stressed that it should strengthen international cooperation under the existing legal framework, and regulate virtual currency from the European and global level under the existing legal framework. More countries believe that bitcoin is not a currency in circulation, has no legal status, and does not meet the definition of financial instruments, such as Finland, Sweden, Malaysia and Indonesia
(4) it is forbidden
in some countries, bitcoin related transactions are prohibited. In December 2013, the people's Bank of China banned financial institutions from trading in bitcoin, which was subsequently extended to payment service providers. The central banks of Thailand and Indonesia share the same attitude. The circulation of anonymous internet currency (including bitcoin) is prohibited by the Russian judicial inspection department as a substitute for currency. The Central Bank of Russia has earlier included the provision of bitcoin services in the scope of suspicious transaction monitoring. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has banned the issue of unregistered shares in exchange for bitcoin, and unregistered online securities trading activities in virtual currency.
computing this random code requires a lot of GPU operations, so the miners purchase a large number of graphics cards to get bitcoin more quickly and make profits
bitcoin has a halving effect, that is to say, every four years, the number of bitcoin will be halved. In this way, the computing power of bitcoin will increase, that is, the difficulty of mining will increase. Under normal circumstances, mining generally refers to the use of mining machine, that is, the computer to dig. These all refer to the single operation, or the operation of the whole mine. Cloud computing power mining refers to mining with multiple people. You can participate in mining as long as you invest a small part
the usual steps of bitcoin mining are "purchase miner - deploy miner - set miner - get profit", but the deployment of miner is affected by many factors, such as electricity price, site, temperature, noise, operation and maintenance, etc. These barriers need certain conditions and knowledge to eliminate, so it gives birth to a sub mole of mining instry - cloud computing power
cloud computing power is a remote mining mode. Users purchase cloud computing power contracts through the platform, rent computing power mining, and obtain revenue regularly. The advantage of cloud mining is that users don't need to deeply understand the mining principle and various software and hardware, or buy expensive mining machines, and they don't need 24-hour maintenance. As long as they place an order, they can participate in mining, which is similar to purchasing usufruct procts
for mine owners, renting and selling the right to use the computing power for a period of time to customers at a price slightly lower than the self operated mining income can quickly return cash, purchase the latest mining machinery in advance, expand the proction scale, and win the possibility of profit in the forward market. To some extent, it can also retain mining machinery at a low currency price, transfer risk, and hedge the single risk of self operated mining business< However, compared with direct participation in mining, cloud computing power also shows the following disadvantages:
even if the platform fully displays relevant information such as mines, mining machinery, cooperation and teams, it is still difficult for users to judge the quality of computing power, real-time operation status (such as power failure, site temporary inspection) or real revenue data behind the platform
the risk of speculation in bitcoin (short-term trading to earn spread) is higher than that of Tuen bitcoin (long-term bullish), but most Tuen bitcoin investors often lack judgment on short-term price changes and "get off early". Cloud computing power brings a small amount of bitcoin income to investors every day, which is also controlling investors' frequent operation in disguised form. Therefore, for many people who like bitcoin, there will be such a saying: "it's better to dig money than to fry money"
the market opportunity of cloud computing power is to provide indivials with a more neutral way of investment. The threshold is lower than that of self built mines, the risk is lower than that of short-term operation, and the cost is lower than the market price. It also allows mines to share the costs and risks and obtain more abundant cash flow
the main risk of cloud computing power lies in the authenticity and stability of computing power behind the contract. In our long-term contact with the mining instry, the high-frequency words we hear are "pit": reasons for power failure beyond common sense, various incidents ring the transportation of mining machinery, constant interference of viruses and extortion, fluctuation of futures and tardy spot, obstacles of cross-border trade, and team ghosts that can't be prevented. Therefore, real and stable computing power is scarce to a certain extent, Behind it is often years of experience. As an information intermediary, cloud computing power platform will become its core competitiveness in how to help users select high-quality cooperative mine cooperation, design friendly and attractive procts, formulate professional and transparent instry standards, establish disaster recovery plans to deal with various risks, and provide high-quality services throughout the whole process of investment
of course, mining is a long-term development instry, and cost recovery also needs a certain period, so whether you can make money mainly depends on whether you can stick to it.
Development:
1. Bitcoin (bitcoin) is a kind of network virtual currency, which can buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals. In 2013, the U.S. government recognized the legal status of bitcoin, making the price of bitcoin soar. In China, on November 19, 2013, a bitcoin was equivalent to 6989 yuan
2. On January 7, 2014, Taobao announced that it would ban the sale of Internet virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin from January 14. West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe; On February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that relevant institutions would pay attention to the current situation of bitcoin encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency. On January 11, 2017), the Shanghai headquarters of the people's Bank of China and the Shanghai Municipal Finance Office carried out on-site inspection of bitcoin China.
