Ethernet mining token

1. Although filecoin has not been officially launched, the parameters of the miner have not been determined. However, filecoin mining based on IPFs technology is a new battlefield full of opportunities. Of course, excellent miners have to take the lead. Let's understand what kind of configuration filecoin mining needs& lt; div>& lt; div>& lt; h2>& lt; b> 1、 Network broadband & lt/ b>& lt;/ h2>& lt; p>& lt; b> 1. Have up and down line bandwidth& lt;/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Because IPFs needs to download data from other nodes on the network, and also provide upload data service to other nodes, it has special requirements for uplink bandwidth and downlink bandwidth, so it must have uplink and downlink peer-to-peer dedicated bandwidth before mining& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 2. Set a public static IP address & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Filecoin mining, we must ensure a stable access speed, now office and home broadband are generally dynamic IP, need to go through N layer ISP conversion, can not guarantee the normal access between remote servers. In order to ensure the efficiency of mining, it is very important to set a static IP address of public network& lt;/ p>& lt; h2>& lt; b> 2、 Hard disk storage & lt/ b>& lt;/ h2>& lt; p> Although there are two ways for filecoin mining, the most important thing is hard disk storage mining. After all, bandwidth mining requires very high network transmission, and this kind of large-scale traffic download and upload channel is not what ordinary miners have& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 1. High capacity hard disk & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> The larger the capacity of hard disk, the greater the potential and ability of filecoin mining. If it is affected by the price of hard disk, we can also increase the number of hard disk to meet the requirement of large capacity& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 2. Compatibility & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Since we want to increase the number of hard disks, we should pay attention to the compatibility design of hard disks. It is necessary to ensure that hard disks of different brands, capacities and performances can be put together in a harmonious way. Only in this way, the utilization rate of hard disk will be improved, and the work efficiency of miners in the later period will be greatly improved& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 3. Work 24 hours a day & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Since the choice of hard disk mining method, data download and storage are 24 hours running. If all data is lost e to the quality of the hard disk itself, then the mortgage token will be confiscated by the system, so we should consider this aspect when choosing the hard disk& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 4. Status display & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Only when the hard disk has status display, can we clearly confirm whether the current hard disk is in read-write state, normal power on state, or fault state. In this way, it is helpful to find and replace the hard disk in time when there is a failure, which does not affect the effective mining work of the miner& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 5. Hot swap Design & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Hot swap design means that the mining machine system supports hot swap hard disk, allowing the replacement of hard disk in the charged state, and will not damage the hard disk and data. This design can also improve the efficiency of filecoin mining and rece the probability of damage to mining machinery and equipment& lt;/ p>& lt; h2>& lt; b> 3、 Location & lt/ b>& lt;/ h2>& lt; p> The mining method of filecoin token will choose the principle of proximity& lt;/ p>& lt; p> From one point of view, if you have something to go out, you will definitely choose the nearest taxi to get on the roadside instead of crossing several streets to find a good-looking taxi to get on. This is how filecoin distributes mining& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Therefore, the geographic location of filecoin mining is best selected in the first tier cities for distributed layout& lt;/ p>& lt; h2>& lt; b> 4、 Hardware configuration & lt/ b>& lt;/ h2>& lt; p>& lt; b> 1.CPU</ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> The essence of filecoin mining is the storage server, which focuses on the I / O performance of the storage, and does not require high computing performance of the whole machine. Therefore, CPU only needs to meet the basic performance of mining machine& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 2. Memory & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> During the reading and writing of filecoin mining machine, the information is mainly stored in the memory temporarily. The size of the memory directly affects the reading and writing performance of the mining machine and the overall mining performance. In the economic conditions, the larger the memory of the mining machine, the better. It is recommended to choose the mining machine with Linux operating system and more than 4G memory& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 3. Network interface & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> The performance of filecoin mining machine is mainly reflected in I / O reading and writing. The low performance or small number of network interfaces will seriously affect the work and efficiency of mining machine. It is suggested that the home miner should be equipped with at least one Gigabit Ethernet port (RJ45 interface) as standard, and it is better to have two Gigabit Ethernet ports& lt;/ p>& lt; p>& lt; b> 4. Miner Design & lt/ b>& lt;/ p>& lt; p> Although filecoin mining machine configuration requirements are not high, but there are some places to pay attention to& lt;/ p>& lt; p> 1) Thermal design & lt/ p>& lt; p> Filecoin miner needs to work 24 hours a day. Of course, we should pay attention to the heat dissipation of hardware. Cooling design mainly depends on the fan, ct, and chassis. Pay more attention to this aspect when starting mining machine& lt;/ p>& lt; p> 2) Silent Design & lt/ p>& lt; p> After all, the miner is 24-hour operation, if the decibel of miner is too large, for a long time, people's mood will certainly become irritable& lt;/ p>& lt; p> 3) Dust proof design & lt/ p>& lt; p> It depends on whether the miner is professional or not. The st-proof design is one of the key indexes& lt;/ p>& lt; p> 4) Shockproof Design & lt/ p>& lt; p> The operation of the filecoin miner will definitely proce slight shaking. If multiple mining machines are placed in the same position, these vibrations will form resonance. Resonance is harmful not only to the hard disk, but also to the whole mining machine. Therefore, the filecoin mining machine needs to have a shockproof design.

2. GPU mining

Hardware

algorithm is difficult to solve in memory. In order to make DAG suitable for memory, each GPU needs 1-2gb of memory. If you get an error prompt: error GPU mining. GPU memory fragmentation? It means you don't have enough memory. GPU mining software is based on OpenCL, amd GPU will be faster than NVIDIA GPU of the same level. ASIC and FPGA are relatively inefficient, so they are blocked. To get OpenCL for chip integration platform, try:
amd SDK OpenCL
NVIDIA CUDA OpenCL
Ubuntu Linux settings

for this quick guide, you will need Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.04 and fglrx image driver. You can also use NVIDIA drives and other platforms, but you have to find your own way to get an effective OpenCL installation, such as genoil's ethminer fork
if you are using 15.04, go to & quot; Software and updates 〉 extra drives & quot; Set to & quot; Use the video driver & quot; from fglrx for AMD graphics accelerator
if you are using 14.04, go to & quot; Software and updates 〉 extra drives & quot; Set to & quot; Use the video driver & quot; from fglrx for AMD graphics accelerator;. Unfortunately, for some people, this method may not work, because there is a known program error in Ubuntu 14.04.02 that will prevent you from switching to the exclusive graphics drive necessary for GPU mining
therefore, if you encounter this program error, go to & quot; "Software and update" update & quot; Select & quot; Pre release reliable update proposal & quot;. Then, back to & quot; Software and updates 〉 extra drives & quot; Set to & quot; Use the video driver & quot; from fglrx for AMD graphics accelerator;. After restarting, it's worth checking that the drive is now properly installed (for example, by going to & quot; Additional drives & quot;)
no matter what you do, if you are using 14.04.02, once installed, do not change the drive or drive configuration. For example, the use of aticonfig – initial (especially the - F, - force option) will & quot; Destruction & quot; Your settings. If you accidentally change the configuration, you will need to uninstall the drive, restart, install the drive again and restart.

Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (also known as "Ethereum")

The token on the

blockchain is called ether, and the code is eth. It can be traded in many foreign exchange markets of cryptocurrency, and it is also the medium used to pay transaction fees and computing services on Ethereum

the concept of Ethereum was first proposed by vitalik buterin, a programmer, from 2013 to 2014, inspired by bitcoin, with the general meaning of "next generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform", and began to develop through ICO crowdfunding in 2014. As of February 2018, Ethernet is the second highest cryptocurrency in market value, second only to bitcoin

extended data:

Ethereum platform has no characteristics and value. Like programming languages, it's up to entrepreneurs and developers to decide what to use. However, it is clear that some application types benefit more from the functions of Ethereum than others. Ethereum is especially suitable for those applications that automatically interact directly between points or promote group coordination activities across networks

for example, coordinate the application of point-to-point market, or the automation of complex financial contracts. Bitcoin enables indivials to exchange money without the help of financial institutions, banks or governments. The impact of Ethereum may be more profound

in theory, any complex financial activities or transactions can be automatically and reliably carried out on Ethereum with coding. In addition to financial applications, any application scenario with high requirements for trust, security and persistence, such as asset registration, voting, management and Internet of things, will be affected by Ethereum platform on a large scale

4. The token of Ethereum is proced in the process of mining, with a mining rate of 5 Ethereum coins per piece. The mining process of Ethereum is almost the same as that of bitcoin. For each transaction, miners can use the computer to run the unique title metadata of the block through hash function, and guess the answer repeatedly and quickly until one of them wins

many new users believe that the sole purpose of mining is to generate ether in a way that does not require a central issuer (see our guide "what is ether?"). It's true. The token of Ethereum is proced in the process of mining, with a mining rate of 5 Ethereum coins per piece. But mining is at least as important. Usually, banks are responsible for keeping accurate records of transactions. They make sure that money is not created out of thin air and that users don't cheat and spend money many times. However, blockchain introces a new way to keep records, the whole network instead of intermediary, to verify transactions and add them to the public ledger

Ethereum mining

although "no trust" or "trust minimization" monetary system is the goal, there are still people who need to ensure the security of financial records and ensure that no one cheats. Mining is one of the innovations that makes decentralized records possible. Miners have reached a consensus on the history of transactions in terms of preventing fraud (especially double spending on ether) - an interesting issue that hasn't been addressed before the decentralized currency works on the blockchain. While Ethereum is looking at other ways to reach a consensus on the effectiveness of the deal, mining currently keeps the platform together

how mining works
today, the mining process of Ethereum is almost the same as that of bitcoin. For each transaction, the miner can use the computer to guess the answer repeatedly and quickly until one of them wins. More specifically, the miner will run the unique header metadata (including time stamp and software version) of the block through the hash function (which will return a fixed length, unordered string of numbers and letters, which appears to be random), changing only the 'nonce value', which will affect the hash value of the result

if the miner finds a hash that matches the current target, the miner will be granted ether and broadcast the block across the network for each node to verify and add to their own ledger . If miner B finds the hash, miner a stops working on the current block and repeats the process for the next block. It's hard for miners to cheat in this game. There is no way to fake the work and come up with the right answer to the puzzle. That's why solving puzzles is called "proof of work."

on the other hand, others have little time to verify whether the hash value is correct, which is exactly what each node does. About every 12-15 seconds, a miner finds a stone. If the miner starts to solve the puzzle faster or slower than this, the algorithm will automatically re adjust the difficulty of the problem so that the miner can rebound to about 12 seconds of solution time

miners earn these ethers randomly, and their profitability depends on their luck and the computing power they put in. The specific workload verification algorithm used by Ethereum is called "ethash", which aims to require more memory, making it difficult to mine with expensive ASIC. Special mining chips are now the only profitable way to mine bitcoin

in a sense, ethash may have achieved this goal successfully, because dedicated ASIC is not available for Ethereum (at least not yet). In addition, as Ethereum aims to shift from proof of work mining to "proof of equity" (which we will discuss below), buying ASIC may not be a wise choice because it may not prove useful for a long time< However, Ethereum may never need miners. Developers plan to abandon proof of work, the algorithm currently used by the network to determine which transactions are valid and protect them from tampering to support proof of equity, which is guaranteed by token owners. If and when the algorithm is launched, proof of equity can become a means to achieve distributed consensus, and the consensus uses less resources.

5. Ethereum is a blockchain. Compared with bitcoin, it can increase smart contracts, complete Turing and faster network speed. Etherem has a lot of block chain procts with regional centralization, such as digix, gold Internet of things and so on.

6. Yes, it's a mobile mining platform based on Ethereum network. It's a strategic proct launched by referring to the experience of predecessors, as well as token incentive.

7. When a user wants to store a certain data or file, he sends a storage request to the system and pays a certain amount of filecoin token at the same time. At this time, the retrieval miner goes to battle again, finds a suitable storage miner, stores the data to the storage miner's hard disk, and the filecoin token paid by the user belongs to the storage miner.

8.

The filecoin token will be allocated to the four main participating groups in the filecoin network. This allocation scheme has also been written into the filecoin protocol and recorded in the genesis block of the filecoin blockchain. Each participant group is crucial to the creation, opening, growth and maintenance of the network:

1. 70% of the participants will be allocated to the filecoin miners (mining reward), which are mainly used to maintain data storage, maintain blockchain, allocate data, run contracts, etc

2. 15% was allocated to protocol laboratories (original allocation, 6-year lock-in period) for research, engineering, development, business development, marketing, distribution, etc

3, 10% is allocated to investors (6-month to 3-year lock-in period), mainly providing funds for network development, business development, partnership, support, etc

The remaining 5% will be allocated to the filecoin Foundation (6-year lock-in period) for long-term network management, partner support, academic funding, public work, community building, etc

at present, compared with other coins, the distribution principle of filecoin is very beneficial to miners. It's just right for the interstellar Aoyun miner to be the miner specialized in digging filecoin. I'm more optimistic about IPFs ecology

9. After joining, as long as you don't participate in mining, there will be tokens all the time
If mining, tokens will be converted into Vicat
then you need to wait for Vicat to increase in value
