Why are all the comments on Jingdong graphics card mining

1.

mining, in fact, is a problem-solving process. First, we work out a formula with many answers, and then the dealer releases a random answer every other period of time. An answer is the prototype of a virtual coin. We can see who can calculate the answer at this time, and then this person or these people can divide the virtual coin. When the result comes out, we can find the answer, virtual currency is attached with information such as the computer information and problem-solving time of the tester, so that the virtual currency can be "materialized", that is, it has traceability and uniqueness attributes. At this time, the virtual currency is officially g out

using the graphics card is because the computing method of the graphics card is different from that of the CPU. The CPU focuses on logic computing. The graphics card is simple computing, and mining (that is, solving problems) just needs simple computing power. Therefore, mining with the graphics card

bitcoin miner is the equipment for mining bitcoin. The mining equipment can be ordinary computer or USB miner, It can also be a professional ASIC miner

It is true that ordinary computer CPU can mine bitcoin, but because bitcoin mining has formed a huge instry all over the world, it is difficult for indivials to mine bitcoin with ordinary computers. You need to buy expensive and professional bitcoin

ASIC mining machine

and join the bitcoin miners organization to dig bitcoin, that is, to join a mining pool for mining

First of all, CPU and GPU are designed differently for different missions in the computer:

1. CPU is mainly optimized for serial instructions, while GPU is optimized for large-scale parallel computing

Modern multi-core CPUs aim at instruction set parallelism (ILP) and task parallelism (TLP), while GPUs aim at data parallelism (DLP)

3. GPU often has a larger bandwidth of memory, that is, the so-called video memory, so it will also have good performance in high throughput applications

Graphics card mining is a process of increasing the bitcoin money supply

the reason why the graphics card is used is that mining is actually a competition of performance and equipment. The mining machine is composed of graphics card array. With dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards, the cost of hardware and other costs is very high, and there is a considerable expenditure in mining

computers have professional mining chips, and most of them work by installing a large number of graphics cards, which consumes a lot of power. One of the ways to get bitcoin is to download mining software and then run specific algorithm to communicate with remote server to get corresponding bitcoin

extended data

bitcoin does not rely on the issuance of specific monetary institutions, and is generated through a large number of calculations of specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction

the bitcoin system is composed of users (users control the wallet through the key), transactions (transactions will be broadcast to the whole bitcoin network) and miners (the blockchain is generated by competitive computing to reach a consensus at each node, and the blockchain is a distributed public authoritative account book, including all transactions in the bitcoin network)

bitcoin miners manage the bitcoin network by solving the problem of workload proof mechanism with certain workload - confirming transactions and preventing double payment. Because hash operation is irreversible, it is very difficult to find the random adjustment number of matching requirements, which requires a continuous trial and error process that can predict the total number of times

when a node finds the solution matching the requirements, it can broadcast its results to the whole network. Other nodes can receive the new data block and check whether it matches the rule. If other nodes find that they really meet the requirements (the operation target required by bitcoin) by calculating the hash value, then the data block is valid, and other nodes will accept the data block

3. In other words, the task of BTC only needs some specific transistors to execute

the CPU is used to perform mining tasks. Because the CPU needs many transistors to execute various instructions, many transistors are idle in a cycle. The speed is slow and normal

In order to enhance the ability of displaying images, the graphics card saves many transistors which have nothing to do with the display function, so the graphics card can only display pictures, but it is much faster than the CPU in the task of displaying pictures. BTC needs to perform the same tasks as the graphics card, so the mining of the graphics card is faster than the CPU, So a card is more suitable for mining

4. Graphics card uses GPU for general purpose calculation. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance, is much stronger than that of CPU. The actions in bitcoin can be regarded as the use of graphics card to do continuous general computing, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive. The stream processor used by graphics card is just suitable for such an algorithm.

5. It's just that the proceres are all marked, which has no binding force on indivial users. If you want to dig pages, no one can manage it. The reason for writing this sentence is that digging virtual digital tokens (such as bitcoin) has seriously disrupted the graphics card market. The price of the first gtx1066 was 2000 yuan, which once dropped to 1700 yuan, but now it has been fried to more than 3000 yuan

this sentence has a warning effect on enterprise users (large-scale mining machine digs virtual token), manufacturers Sue enterprise users for better benefits, and indivial users Sue time-consuming and laborious, and the impact is not good. In addition, there is also a thick black interpretation that manufacturers printed this sentence in order to boost the momentum of mining and card speculation, so as to make their profits higher.

6. Mining is at the cost of long-term overload operation of the graphics card. Although the use time is very short, there may be many dark problems, so it is not recommended to buy it.

7. Compared with the complex calculation of CPU, GPU used in graphics card is general calculation. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance, is much stronger than that of CPU. The actions in bitcoin can be regarded as the use of graphics card to do continuous general computing, and the computational complexity is relatively low and quite repetitive. The stream processor used by graphics card is just suitable for such an algorithm. It's like constantly solving equations. The graphics card is 2000 middle school students, while the CPU is 8 math doctors. Although the mathematical knowledge of the doctor of mathematics is far more than that of the middle school students, the speed of solving medium-sized equations such as virtual currency is certainly not as fast as that of 2000 middle school students. Therefore, the more graphics cards, the more operations

8. It's said that mining is to burn graphics card, of course, the loss is large
