IPFs cluster mining
ASIC mining is often used in bitcoin mining, which belongs to computational power proof. Hard disk mining is a kind of storage mining
bitcoin mining is only for sha256 hash value calculation, with single function. Although CPU can calculate, it is not cost-effective in terms of cost and efficiency. Therefore, mining machinery enterprises have specially designed ASIC chips for sha256 (or other algorithms) calculation
IPFs hard disk mining, interstellar Aoyun mining machine belongs to this, two mining methods:
1, storage mining, what you need to contribute is hard disk storage space, the more hard disk space, the higher your mining capacity. That is, the size of hard disk capacity and the number of hard disks
2. What you need to contribute to search mining is to provide network bandwidth. The larger the network bandwidth, the higher your mining capacity
hard disk mining does not need the strong computing power of ASIC, and ASIC does not need much hard disk capacity
as a blockchain, filecoin also needs block procers. Since there are block survivors, block rewards should be given to block procers
how much is the first reward
in the first year, the average reward of a single blockchain is about 145, which graally decreases. In the sixth year, the reward of each block is about 81, which is the reason why the reward of filecoin block is halved in six years
so when the blockchain was just launched, there were 145 rewards for a single block, but there were not so many miners, so it was a very good mining opportunity
What does mining rely on
at present, it doesn't seem to rely on much
how to select block procers
select a number from the previous block, and then hash it with the miner's private key signature. If the hash value meets the conditions, the miner will be selected
this process doesn't need to work hard as bitcoin does, because it only needs to be calculated once, so it seems that high computing power or powerful CPU is useless. Because this algorithm seems to have nothing to do with the pledge space of miners, so as long as the miners meet the conditions, they can be rewarded
storage mining and retrieval mining
as the largest filecoin, this is the driving force of miners' long-term mining. The total number of tokens in filecoin is 2 billion, 70% of which is distributed to miners, that is, 1.4 billion tokens
however, the 1.4 billion tokens need to be subtracted from the block reward tokens to generate the benefits of storage mining and retrieval mining
What are the specific benefits? In fact, it is uncertain, because there are two markets to decide, one is the storage market, the other is the retrieval market. Every miner needs to go to the market to quote, store or search users to find and form orders. So, it's a very dynamic process
this is a bit like the decentralized exchange that we use now. There will be orders or sales orders one by one, and the final platform can only get the average transaction price. And everyone's quotation or order transaction price is different
it should be noted that when filecoin was first launched, there were not too many storage users, so most of the miners' income should come from block rewards. Therefore, it is a major play, which is very worthy of investment
I hope I can help you. Shanghai ello technology is specialized in developing filecoin management platform, and has a deep research on filecoin
