Mainstream mining equipment

1.

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

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

2.

Bitcoin uses SHA-256 encryption algorithm. When mining, it competes with computing power. In order to improve computing power, bitcoin has gone through four stages: CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining and now ASIC mining machine mining, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher

Ethereum uses the ethash encryption algorithm. In the process of mining, it needs to read the memory and store the DAG file. Because the bandwidth of each read memory is limited, and the existing computer technology is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough in this problem, so no matter how to improve the computing efficiency of the computer, the memory read efficiency will not be greatly improved. Therefore, in a sense, Ethereum's ethash encryption algorithm is ASIC resistant.

different encryption algorithms lead to great differences in mining equipment and computing power between bitcoin and Ethereum

at present, bitcoin mining equipment is mainly ASIC mining machine with a very high degree of specialization. The maximum computing power of a single mining machine is 110t / s, and the scale of computing power of the whole network is more than 120eh / s

the main mining equipment of Ethereum is video card miner, and there are very few specialized ASIC miner. On the one hand, the "ASIC resistance" of Ethereum mining algorithm improves the threshold of developing ASIC miner. On the other hand, after Ethereum is upgraded to 2.0, the consensus mechanism will be transformed into POS, and the miner can not continue mining

compared with the ASIC miner, the graphics card miner has two orders of magnitude difference in computing power. At present, the computing power of mainstream graphics card miner (8 cards) is about 420mh / s, and that of Ethereum is about 230th / s.

from the time dimension of the past two years, bitcoin's computing power of the whole network is growing rapidly, while Ethereum's computing power of the whole network is growing relatively slowly

The ASIC mining machine of

bitcoin is monopolized by several major mining machine manufacturers, and miners can only buy it from the market; Although the graphics card miner of Ethereum is also manufactured by a special miner, the miner can buy accessories from the market and assemble them according to his own demand

3. This depends on what configuration of bitcoin mining machine you buy. Take Avalon mining machine as an example, avalon2
1t package (10 single-mode groups): the price is 13999 yuan; The price of avalon2 single-mode 100g is 1599 yuan; The price of Avalon 2-generation Miner 2 mole 200g is 2500 yuan. At present, Avalon three generation chips have been released, and Avalon 3 mining machine is about to enter the market.

4. In fact, it is the future of the investment platform. With the development of the platform in the future, users can enjoy the value-added benefits brought by the development of the platform. Now Renren mining is flat, and the Taiwan dollar BBC has been listed on the ZG exchange. The income of double mining has far exceeded that of single mining. Renren mining is a large-scale platform in China, The number of physical mining machines has exceeded 100000 a while ago. Renren mine is a platform with great potential, and double mining is not a bad thing.

5. This depends on the brand and computing power of the Miner you buy. According to Avalon, the mainstream miner in the market at present:

avalon2 single-mode group
(chip frequency 1500mh / s) ￥ 488 100 g ￥ 4.9 / g 340W ￥ 2.04 / g 0.0037 BTC
￥ 14.11 51 days
avalon3 single-mode group
(chip frequency 500mh / s) ￥ 1, 988 290 g ￥ 6.9/g 342 w ￥ 0.71/g 0.0108 BTC
￥ 40.93 113 days
avalon3
(chip frequency 450mh / s) ￥ 7866 800 g ￥ 9.8/g 822 w ￥ 0.62/g 0.0299 BTC
￥ 112.91 999 days

6. The selection of mining machines depends on the computing power, the power consumption and the historical reputation, including the stability and after-sales service of the machines
computing power is the ability of a machine to perform operations, that is, how many hash operations can this machine perform per second. At present, the computing power of the mainstream bitcoin miner is 14T, that is, hash collisions of the 13th power of 14 times 10 per second
power consumption is an indicator of the power consumption of the miner ring operation. Electricity consumption will have a huge relationship with mining costs. Generally, a miner will operate 24 hours a day to excavate, so the power consumption sometimes seems to have a small difference, but in fact, the cost gap is relatively large
here is another little knowledge, that is, digital assets of the same algorithm can be mined by the same miner. For example, bitcoin miner can also dig bitcash, Ethereum miner can also dig Ethereum classic
for more professional knowledge, it is recommended to consult the honeycomb miner. There are professionals to help you select and answer for you. The boss comes from the fire coin, and I feel reliable after personal experience.

7. Bitcoin mining is not real. Now bitcoin mining is very complex and requires professional mining equipment. Ordinary mining equipment is basically unable to dig bitcoin, retail Mining has been graally eliminated, large mining has become the mainstream
the so-called hanging of bitcoin mining machine is mostly pyramid schemes, which are very popular in China
it is not recommended that users go to the mining platform to directly trade bitcoin, Ruitai coin and Laite coin.

8. It's the feeling of separating him from home and work. I think he doesn't want to have pressure at home when he comes home. Then don't think so much about it. You don't have to do anything for him, on the contrary, it will increase his pressure. Face his time at home with ease. Just be happy.
