How to explain mining

mining: that is, bitcoin mining, is a process of using computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it

Bitcoin mining is a process that uses computer hardware to calculate the location of bitcoin and obtain it

mining is an incentive process to record data in the bitcoin system. In the bitcoin system, indivial users have the right to pack blocks after calculating a specific hash value by using CPU or GPU to hash

and in order to reward this user for packing blocks, the system will give a certain amount of bitcoin as reward. Because this process is very similar to "mining" in real life, most people call this process mining. In addition to bitcoin, other electronic virtual currencies can also be obtained through mining rewards, such as Ethereum, Monroe and so on

mining risk:

1, currency security

the withdrawal of bitcoin requires hundreds of keys, and most people will record this long string of numbers on the computer, but frequent problems such as hard disk damage will make the key permanently lost, which also leads to the loss of bitcoin

2, system risk

system risk is very common in bitcoin, and the most common one is bifurcation. Bifurcation will lead to a drop in currency price and a sharp drop in mining income. However, many cases show that the forking will benefit the miners, and the forked competitive currency also needs the miners' computing power to complete the minting and trading process. In order to win more miners, the competitive currency will provide more block rewards and handling charges to attract miners. Risk makes miners

Computer Mining: when users "mine" bitcoin, they need to use the computer to search for 64 bit numbers, 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 set of numbers, then they will get 25 bitcoins. In short, it's about looking for bitcoin

e to the decentralized programming adopted by the bitcoin system, only 25 bitcoins can be obtained every 10 minutes, and by 2140, the maximum number of bitcoins in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system is able to achieve self-sufficiency, resist inflation through coding, and prevent others from destroying these codes

the corresponding laws and regulations of computer mining in China:

in China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty

the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) on June 4, 2009 stated that the application scope of virtual currency of online games was defined for the first time, and the distinction between the current virtual currency of online games and the virtual props in the game was made; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate

in China, some Taobao stores also began to accept the use of bitcoin, and the number of businesses will graally increase

in October 2013, the first bitcoin quarterly, one bit, was released

on October 15, 2013, the network accelerator service of the network announced its support for bitcoin

on October 26, 2013, btcmini reported that GBL was hacked

on October 31, 2013, Lei Teng, a famous Internet lawyer, proposed the event of "filing a case to investigate the closure of GBL bitcoin trading platform as soon as possible", analyzed the "value function" and "use function" of bitcoin, and bitcoin should be governed by relevant laws

Mining is a process of increasing the bitcoin money supply. Mining also protects the security of the bitcoin system, prevents fraulent transactions, and avoids "double payment", which means spending the same bitcoin multiple times. Miners offer algorithms for bitcoin networks in exchange for the opportunity to get bitcoin rewards. The miners verify each new transaction and record it in the general ledger

in the past, ordinary computers could be used to mine, but now it is basically impossible. Because the operation mechanism of bitcoin is becoming more and more difficult, the performance of ordinary computers at home is limited, and it is difficult to decrypt bitcoin. Now there are new machines on the market, professional coin digging machines, called mining machines

Mining precautions:

if you want to invest in virtual currency mining, in addition to the need to buy mining machines, you also need a suitable site and a special person to take care of and maintain it. Of course, the appropriate electricity price is also essential. However, the general investors will encounter a series of difficult problems from the beginning of purchasing mining machines

trusteeship, in a simple sense, is to put the purchased mining machines in the professional mines of trusteeship enterprises, and then the trusteeship enterprises provide you with ore pools and special personnel to maintain them. Of course, the electricity prices that these trusteeship enterprises can get are very low, and there is no need to worry about the legitimacy of these enterprises. They must all meet the national standards
