Network gold mining
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
extended data
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
Online mining is real, that is, traffic mining
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 />
. The bitcoin system ensures that bitcoin will not be g out too quickly by adjusting the difficulty coefficient. Every 10 minutes, the whole network is absent from work to jointly calculate a difficult problem, compete for bookkeeping rights and bitcoin rewards. If the computing power of the whole network continues to grow, bitcoin will be g out soon. In order to ensure that bitcoin can be g out in about 10 minutes, Nakamoto designs the difficulty of mining for bitcoin, Every 2016 blocks (about 2 weeks) are dynamically adjusted, so that the difficulty after adjustment makes the expected time for each block to be generated 10 minutes. Now the difficulty coefficient is about 480ph / S (Note: September 2017), which is about 68 billion times that of Genesis block. In other words, with the current computing power, the miners in the whole network need to go through about 300 trillion hash operations to find a qualified answer, Generate a new block
. Compared with point-to-point trading, mining and other purchases on the trading platform are the most popular ways to obtain blockchain assets, that is, floor trading. Floor trading of blockchain assets is similar to stock trading. The platform can help you match up, and you don't need to know who your trading partner is. Your trading partner may be one person or many people, Whether it's buying or selling, the trading platform will record the hanging order price of everyone. The buyer and the seller can obtain the latest transaction price through the real-time order. At the same time, the trading platform will summarize the historical transaction price and volume into a K-line chart, which is convenient for investors to analyze the market trend. For example, the UTOR market is the mainstream trading platform in the world.
if you just store it in the trading platform account, you can cash it at any time. Just like stock trading, if you sell it with a registered order, you can cash it into your bank account, Can be transferred to the member account of the future world. When the price of EGD super increases by 10%, the net gold you buy can be realized by 10%
in 1982, David JOM first proposed the untraceable cryptography network payment system< In 1990, JOM extended his idea to the original cryptology anonymous cash system< In 1998, David published an article on an anonymous and distributed e-cash system, which he named "B-money"
in 2008, a self styled Japanese American engineer, TSUO Nakamoto, published a paper on the e-cash system of digital currency in the mailing list of a cryptography website
on January 31, 2009, Nakamoto created bitcoin, the first digital cryptocurrency in history
by 2013, bitcoin had increased by 460000 times. At the same time, there was a wave of digital currency all over the world, releasing hundreds of digital currencies successively, and forming a digital currency ecological chain with hundreds of billion US dollars of investment
in October 2013, the world's first bitcoin ATM came out in Vancouver, Canada
in early 2014, the U.S. law passed the resolution that bitcoin is the legal property of citizens
on January 1, 2014, after bitcoin, the Internet, network gold, was born
the concept of network gold was put forward by Dr. David of the United States in 1982. With the development of the Internet, after 30 years of continuous invention and improvement by international players such as Zhongben Cong in 2009, it was finally invented by 17 it experts from seven countries headed by former Microsoft engineers on January 1, 2014.
