Mining creates value
In 2009, bencong invented bitcoin, and set that there are only 21 million bitcoins. By participating in the proction of blocks and providing proof of work (POW), he can get the reward of bitcoin network. This process is mining
the concept of "mining" comes from the existing concepts in our real economic life, such as gold mining and silver mining. Because minerals are valuable, it drives people to pay labor to dig
another important point of bitcoin mining is that the miners who participate in mining recognize the value of bitcoin, and some of them are willing to spend money in the bitcoin market. Therefore, the mining of bitcoin is meaningful

currency characteristics of bitcoin
1, decentralized
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2, bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3, exclusive ownership
controlling bitcoin requires a private key, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4, low transaction cost
bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, about 1 bitfen transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost
as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6, cross platform mining
users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
Mining is a nickname for the exploration method of acquiring bitcoin. Because of its working principle is very similar to mining minerals, so named. In addition, bitcoin explorers who do mining work are also known as miners
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system
bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes
then the bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as a reward to reward the person who gets the answer
extended data:
to be a miner, just "mine" bitcoin and search for 64 bit numbers by computer. By repeatedly decrypting with a computer, it competes with other gold miners to provide the number needed for the bitcoin network
if the computer can successfully create a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins. Bitcoin is decentralized. It needs to create a fixed number of bitcoins per unit of computing time. It can get 25 bitcoins every 10 minutes
by 2140, the upper limit of bitcoin in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system can be self-sufficient, which can be translated into coding to resist inflation and prevent others from sabotaging< br />
Bitcoin is actually a virtual currency. When bitcoin first appeared, if you want to get bitcoin, you have to get bitcoin through mining. Therefore, bitcoin mining appeared. But bitcoin mining is more and more difficult, so it is very difficult to get bitcoin now
so now many people use Haru miner digs Ethereum, Monroe and other virtual coins. Most importantly, BTC can be directly equivalent in the end
Mining bitcoin is also called mining. Starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique
in the metaphor of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of this equation system through a huge amount of calculation. This equation system is designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
bitcoin: also known as "bitcoin", is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods

shortcomings
first, the vulnerability of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities
Second, the transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed Thirdly, the price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading Fourthly, the public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthlessin the very early days, when the computing power of bitcoin was very low, the computer could also carry out a lot of calculations according to the algorithm to "mine" bitcoin
when users "mine" bitcoin, they need to search for 64 bit numbers by computer, and then compete with other gold miners by repeatedly solving puzzles to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a group of numbers, they will get the bitcoin awarded by the block. However, e to the rising value of bitcoin, the number of users of bitcoin mining is very large. There are millions of professional mining machines mining at the same time, and the output of bitcoin is very limited every 10 minutes. As a result, tens of millions of people scramble for a block. Therefore, if you use personal computers to mine alone, you may not be able to grab a block in a whole year, People came up with a method of group mining, so the mining pool was born. There are a lot of users who play after mining
I hope you will adopt it.
Although many investors know nothing about bitcoin mining, they still can't resist the temptation of bitcoin price and plan to invest in the mining army. So if you also want to mine, I believe you will have a question in your heart: "what is a bitcoin miner? What is the principle of bitcoin mining machine? " To solve this problem, let's remember some popular science today
origin of bitcoin
to fully understand the origin of bitcoin, we have to mention the existing financial system
bitcoin mining machine specially used for mining. The popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Leyte coin, zeta coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin, pole coin, BBQ coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world
with the orderly implementation of cashless society, banknotes will inevitably disappear in the long river of history with the passage of time. The future digital currency is believed to be similar to bitcoin, but it is by no means a limited supply. But when the human ability to proce wealth can be completely matched by the computing power of the computer, the issuing speed of e-money is directly proportional to or slightly exceeds the computing speed of the computer to create moderate inflation. In the future, while mining, it is also creating value rather than wasting electricity. In the end, the small changes in proctivity of digital currency match the difficulty of computing power, which may be the final form of human currency
the most familiar and easy to understand is Bill Gates and his Microsoft Windows operating system. Windows has entered into thousands of households and instries. People have improved proctivity and created great value through this computer program. As a result, Microsoft even once became the company with the highest market value in the world
What about bitcoin, also a software with high "value"“ In fact, many people want to know what kind of value bitcoin brings to people and things, thus supporting the consensus on bitcoin and steadily boosting its market value to more than 1 trillion< Miners and other participants in mining ecology
to put it simply, bitcoin mining machine is a machine that keeps making profits for miners. It can lay eggs like a chicken and proce value, and even go to the road of ten billion rich. This is the value of bitcoin for miners, mining airport operators, mining pools (service providers) and other people who participate in the upstream and downstream of mining ecology. Miners are the most important participants for bitcoin, and for miners, the miner that can proce bitcoin is a "hen" that can lay golden eggs. Although the journey of mining is not as simple as expected, and it's really a bit like opening a "chicken farm", which needs to provide all kinds of suitable environment, maintenance and "food" (energy) transportation to successfully proce "golden eggs" for profit, the miners are attracted by the benefit distribution mechanism of bitcoin, and new miners are constantly joining in
2. User
the full name of bitcoin system is a peer-to-peer e-cash system, so for users, it can be used to initiate transfer transactions. So why use it to transfer money? To put it bluntly, it means saving time, effort and money. Bitcoin does not need to transit through banks, third-party payment companies and so on to reach the other party's account directly, which eliminates the processing time, operation manpower and fees of third-party institutions. The fees collected by banks and other financial institutions through financial services can show how huge the fees are. In fact, many people don't understand the concept of the third-party guarantee agency very well. Most of the time, we transfer money for free, because in the credit society, small amount transfer is completed through the credit line between different financial institutions, which is not a real transfer
3. Savers and speculators
because bitcoin has value in use, and has many high-quality characteristics, especially like gold, and some of its characteristics are better than gold. It also has the function of "partial" risk aversion and value saving like gold, so it is graally regarded as gold, an international hard currency, and began to be hoarded by many people
4. People in poor and backward or "turbulent" areas
e to the low transfer cost and short time required by bitcoin. In many poor and backward countries, there is no need to build expensive network infrastructure to transfer money through encrypted network. Bitcoin's infrastructure is built by miners all over the world, which does not need the burden of poor countries' governments. There is no intermediate cost for payment and payment of salaries, which can save a lot of money< There are many such corners in the world, which are remote but rich in mineral resources or natural resources such as water conservancy and wind power. For example, there are many coal mines in some areas, but e to the high transportation cost, they can not be transported out. At the same time, e to the lack of people, the power generated by thermal power, hydropower stations and wind farms built in these areas is very surplus, and the economy of these areas is often relatively backward. At this time, they need and welcome miners to settle in. Miners not only bring a lot of jobs, but also convert the local surplus energy into power resources, and then generate a lot of income through bitcoin mining. This is actually equivalent to storing the energy value that might have been surplus and wasted through bitcoin network, and then paying the local government and people through electricity charges, Drive the local economy<
