1. mining continuous working time is very long
the performance requirements are not high
it is reasonable to choose the monitoring level of hard disk.

It will accelerate the aging of graphics card
in order to make money, the graphics card works continuously for 7x24 hours and runs at full load. Some people will overclock the graphics card in order to earn more money. The general home game graphics card is not designed for this kind of use environment at all. Long time full load operation will lead to accelerated aging of the graphics card, Generally, the life of the graphics card used for half a year of mining is longer than that of the normal use of the players for three years, so now the major brands have made strict restrictions on the quality assurance of the cards

principles of computer Mining:
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually the special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the finite solutions of a system of equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique. In the metaphor of banknotes, bitcoin is the number of the top word of a banknote. If you know the number of the top word of a banknote, you will have the banknote
and the process of mining is to constantly seek the special solutions of the equations through huge amount of calculation. The equations are designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client
after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
3. Mining with the graphics card in the computer requires a long-time operation of the computer, and the graphics card needs a lot of calculation. Compared with the normal use of the computer, it will have greater loss, and the service life will be greatly reced. At the same time, long-time operation, the hardware also emits a lot of heat, if the heat dissipation is not good, it will affect all the hardware
4. If the hard disk is full, replace it. If the data can't be deleted, you can only replace it, and then replace it with a larger capacity
5. A lot of domestic projects will be leaked. It depends on the connotation and more understanding
6. It's not dangerous talk! BT will damage the hard disk ~ ~ ~ many of my friends say that after using BT for more than two months, the hard disk will be damaged to varying degrees. If it is light, the hard disk will emit "click click" when it is running The sound of the sound. Seriously, the hard disk is completely broken. Now, it is generally said that e to the original mistakes of BT's software procers, they used a very poor hash algorithm in their design. As a result, BT does not use the cache before writing data to the hard disk like FlashGet and other commonly used download software, but directly writes the data to the hard disk. At the same time, the capacity of the download file is several times larger than its actual size, It doesn't recover until the download is finished. Therefore, it is precisely because of the use of BT download that the hard disk is always in a state of high-speed operation, so now more and more people believe (or even have experienced) that this is the reason leading to the end of the life of the hard disk ahead of time. It is said that the more BT operation windows are opened at the same time, the more serious the loss of the hard disk is. Finally, I would like to say a few words. I personally suggest that intranet users should not use BT, because even if portmap is used, the speed of Intranet is not much faster than that of Internet users. Compared with Internet users, it's almost one day a day. Internet users are still loyal to BT at the risk of damaging the hard disk, because the high speed of the Internet is too attractive. However, when downloading, you should also pay attention to the propriety, and don't open too many downloading projects at the same time, unless your home is wholesale of hard disk.:) BitTorrent (BT for short, commonly known as BT download, abnormal download) is a multi-point download of open source P2P software, very convenient to use, just like a browser plug-in, very suitable for the newly released popular download. Its characteristics are simple: the more people download, the faster the speed.
7. Of course, there will be damage to the hard disk.
let's tell you how to protect the hard disk by BT download.
although BT download is very popular now and there are many resources on the network, it seems that more and more people think that BT download has a great loss to the hard disk, which will lead to the end of the hard disk's life ahead of time, and even some people say that they have had such experience. Today, we will not discuss whether BT download will harm the hard disk. We will just talk about how to protect our hard disk if BT download is harmful to the hard disk. Here are some tips in practical application
1. Use a dedicated hard disk
if you want to have extra hard disks, such as small hard disks that have been upgraded and eliminated, it's easy to say. Install the hard disk on the machine and make a partition to store the files downloaded by BT. after downloading, them to other partitions. In this way, if BT really "eats" the hard disk, it also "eats" your "leftovers", with little loss and no heartache<
2. Don't turn on the machine for a long time to download
BT download maniacs often turn on the machine all day and all night to download by themselves, and it's a common thing that they don't turn off the machine for three or five days. Such a situation leads to the high temperature of the hard disk, accelerating its aging and fatigue. Moreover, the current 7200 RPM high-speed hard disk has a large heat output. If the cooling condition of the chassis is not very good, it will be even worse. So when I download BT resources, in principle, the continuous time is generally not more than 12 hours. At the same time, I can consider adding a better fan to the hard disk<
3. Open fewer Download Windows
many people always like to do five or six direct load tasks at the same time when downloading. They hope that the download can be faster, so as to rece the burden of the hard disk. I find that it is harmful, and more connections will have more frequent access to the hard disk. And the bandwidth is fixed. Opening a few more tasks will rece the average bandwidth allocated to each task, and the speed is not fast at all
4. Optimize configuration
in terms of hardware, the author thinks that increasing memory is a good way. At the beginning of the BT download, my machine had only 128MB of memory. During the download process, the hard disk light kept flashing. Later, I added the memory to 512MB, which was much better. If there was only one download task, I could hardly see the hard disk light flashing
in terms of software, be sure to install the disk driver in the motherboard driver. The author's machine installed the latest version of IAA, in the frequent use of hard disk when the sound is not as loud as before
5. Set a larger cache space for the hard disk
windows only has 512KB cache by default, which is obviously not enough. If the memory is more than 256MB, opening a larger cache can rece hard disk read-write and improve performance. Generally, the best effect is set at 8MB ~ 16MB, and I set 32MB. Using "regedit & quot;, Find [HKEY]_ LOCAL_ MACHINE \ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ SessionManager\ MemoryManagement\ If you do not find the key value of iopagelocklimit, you need to create a new one. The type is DWORD. Modify the hexadecimal value according to your memory: 8000 is 32MB, 4000 is 16MB, and so on. This value is the value of how many KB cache you want to set after converting to hexadecimal. Don't forget to restart the computer, of course
6. Rece the priority of BT
because BT takes up more system resources, it may have a certain impact on the performance of the system when it is used. You can use task manager to rece the priority of BT, so that even if it takes up resources, it will not have a great impact on other applications. Select the process tab, right-click the BT software process, and select low or below standard in the priority setting menu

some people point out that the repeated reading and writing of the hard disk by BT will proce high temperature, which will increase the temperature of the hard disk and directly affect the service life of the hard disk. The more people download, the more people read your hard disk at the same time. A large number of repeated reading and writing actions on your hard disk speed up consumption. At the same time, because too many things are downloaded, the arrangement of sectors is chaotic. When reading and writing data, it is necessary to read in different sectors, increase the number of reading and writing, and speed up the consumption of hard disk
it can't be said that all these accusations are wrong, but is there any operation that doesn't damage the hard disk at all? In fact, any operation on the hard disk will consume the hard disk. Unless you seal the hard disk and do not use it, the hard disk will always be strained, so you can only say that BT may aggravate the consumption. But is this accusation Tenable
in fact, the high temperature of the hard disk is caused by the high-speed rotation of the hard disk and the friction with the air. In fact, the heat of the read-write action is very small. Even if you don't use BT, if you run the computer for a long time, listen to music and play 3D games, it will also be a hard disk. And the faster the speed of the hard disk, the higher the temperature. This is the operation problem of the hardware itself, and has nothing to do with the software. Therefore, instead of using BT to protect the hard disk, it is more practical to improve the ventilation state of the chassis
the problem of repeated reading and writing does exist. Some people say that BT is like splitting two or three sections of a unilateral burning firewood to burn together. A lot of reading and writing will greatly accelerate the consumption of hard disk and burn the life of hard disk. Although this statement is reasonable, it is too exaggerated. In fact, it's not only bt that will increase the number of repeated reads and writes. Bad habits will not consume less hard disk than BT. By increasing the read and write buffer of BT program, the read and write times of BT can be greatly reced, and the consumption of hard disk can be reced. And correcting bad habits of hard disk can increase the life of hard disk. Therefore, as long as the adjustment is appropriate, the repeated read-write operation of BT will not consume the life of the hard disk
the situation of sector fault block is similar. There is no denying that the download of BT will proce a lot of blocks, but any computer that has been operating for a period of time will have a lot of blocks. The block itself is only a record of a sector, and will not affect the hard disk. The reason that multiple chunks will damage the hard disk is that each time a program or file is executed, it is necessary to search for different chunks to execute. This will not only slow down the operation speed, but also increase the workload of CPU and head, indirectly consuming the life of the hard disk. But this situation can be repaired by reorganizing the hard disk on a regular basis. Therefore, the life of the hard disk depends on the usage habits, rather than one or two kinds of software<
page 4: does BT damage the hard disk
no! As mentioned above, any operation on the computer will consume the life of the hard disk. The only problem is whether the consumption is serious. There is no denying that BT's operation and extended use habits are all types that will accelerate the consumption of hard disks. The main reason why BT damages the hard disk is not whether there is a cache, because the newly launched BT programs have provided the function of adjusting the cache. If you are afraid of hard disk damage, set the cache to 10MB or 20MB. The biggest cause of hard disk damage is actually BT's sharing concept
let's review the old and learn something new. What is BT's concept of sharing The more people download at the same time, the faster the download. When there are ten users reading your file, plus the write operation when you download, the same file will be read and written 11 times at the same time, which will cause some loss to the magnetic head arm. The more people there are and the more times there are, the more the accumulated consumption will be. In the long run, it does damage the hard disk. Therefore, some people will limit the number of uploads, speed limit and other methods to maintain it. But in fact, this kind of loss is quite slight. The loss is not as exaggerated as "breaking up firewood branches to burn". As long as you control the number and amount of downloads, it is enough to maintain the hard disk
another BT sharing concept that will damage hard disk is "leave seeds". Under the principle of resource sharing, "keeping seeds" is an obligation. The longer the time is, the more virtue it is. But the problem is that even after downloading, the hard disk will not get a chance to rest and maintain the operation of reading and uploading for a long time. As a result, some people will leave after downloading, rather than leave behind as seeds There is a certain basis for the damage of "seed reservation". Any electronic proct needs to have a rest time. Unless your computer has the level of network server, you should always let the computer rest and cool down at the right time. Therefore, whether it's uploading or downloading, the user still needs to rest the hard disk at intervals. However, the practice of "running after getting off" lacks the spirit of sharing. Instead of being a selfish Downloader, it's better to control the number and weight of BT downloads and let the computer rest at the right time
once again, I would like to reiterate that there is no operation that does not damage the hard disk. But good use habits are enough to offset most of the adverse effects, so it still depends on how everyone uses them. If you download or upload all day long, of course, it's not OK. Let the hard disk rest every two or three days.

8. To find out whether BT software is a real hard disk killer or not
Author: unknown date: April 27, 2005 read: 5534 times
Page 1: what is BT
BitTorrent (BT for short) is one of the most popular P2P programs. Its fast download efficiency and extensive download resources are the reasons why players like it. Although BT download is very popular now, and there are many resources on the network, it seems that more and more people think that BT download has a great loss on the hard disk, which will lead to the end of the hard disk life ahead of time. Some people even say that they have had such an experience. There are still many different opinions on whether BT has damaged the hard disk. Even if some people say that they have scrapped the hard disk because of BT, there is no direct evidence that BT has damaged the hard disk. Because who knows the cause of death of hard disk is BT, or bad habits of using hard disk? In the following space, the author will talk about the impact of BT on hard disk, and assume that if BT download is harmful to hard disk, how to protect our hard disk
what is BT
here is a short introction to BT. BT is the most efficient P2P program to download at present. The so-called P2P is the abbreviation of peer-to-peer (peer-to-peer transmission), which is a new way of file transmission. The old transmission mode is master-slave architecture, which transfers one point to many points through the server. The disadvantage is that the more the number of downloads, the lower the download efficiency. P2P users have the characteristics of both "client" and "server". They connect users and servers through P2P programs. They can download and upload at the same time, so as to achieve the goal of fast sharing. Kazaa, eDonkey and WinMX are all P2P programs, and BitTorrent is the most efficient one
page 2: BT features
BT features that the more people download, the faster the file download speed. It usually takes three days to download some hundreds of megabytes of large files with general eDonkey or other P2P programs. But with BT, if there are more seeds and more peers, it may take only a few hours to download hundreds of MB of files. No wonder P2P users are flocking to BT
players only need to install BT program and download torrent file from the network to start BT download. The program will connect to the tracker server to search how many seeds and users are downloading. The more seeds and users there are, the faster the downloading speed will be. After downloading, as long as the user does not close the program, it will automatically become the seed of the file and upload the file for other downloading users to achieve the purpose of sharing
the reason why BT is faster than WinMX and other P2P programs is that it has no mechanism of queuing to download. BT's concept is "as long as the number of people who download at the same time is more, the download will be faster", which is a little different from WinMX's concept of "the more the number of downloads completed, the faster the download will be". Therefore, if the files are very old, the efficiency of using BT to download will be reced accordingly, and even "extinct" situation will occur. It is necessary to "seek seed" from the person who has completed the download to continue transmission. However, BT has a large number of users. If a torrent file becomes extinct, a new torrent will be available for download in the near future. In addition, BT has the advantage of downloading large files. Therefore, BT is called "abnormal download" by some people. Does BT damage the hard disk
OK, back to the point. There has been a saying circulating on the network that the developers of BT use a bad hash algorithm because they lack the consideration of maintaining the hard disk, which makes BT download not like flash get and other commonly used download software to use the cache before writing the hard disk data, but directly write it to the hard disk, causing damage to the hard disk and ending the life of the hard disk earlier. However, some netizens who are familiar with computers put forward the evidence that BT does not consume hard disk. However, there is a saying in China that "we would rather believe in it". Therefore, it is beneficial to assume that BT will hurt the hard disk and make some rescue preparations
then, what is the reason that BT damages hard disk? There are nothing more than: 1. Temperature; 2、 Repeat read and write operations; 3、 Sector fault block, etc. will be explained one by one in the following space<
page 3: BT's three major accusations
BT's three major accusations: high temperature, repeated reading and writing, sector block
some people point out that the repeated reading and writing of BT to the hard disk will proce high temperature, which will increase the temperature of the hard disk and directly affect the service life of the hard disk. The more people download, the more people read your hard disk at the same time. A large number of repeated reading and writing actions on your hard disk speed up consumption. At the same time, because too many things are downloaded, the arrangement of sectors is chaotic. When reading and writing data, it is necessary to read in different sectors, increase the number of reading and writing, and speed up the consumption of hard disk
it can't be said that all these accusations are wrong, but is there any operation that doesn't damage the hard disk at all? In fact, any operation on the hard disk will consume the hard disk. Unless you seal the hard disk and do not use it, the hard disk will always be strained, so you can only say that BT may aggravate the consumption. But is this accusation Tenable
in fact, the high temperature of the hard disk is caused by the high-speed rotation of the hard disk and the friction between the hard disk and the air. In fact, the calorific value of reading and writing is very small. Even if you don't use BT, if you run the computer for a long time, listen to music and play 3D games, it will also be a hard disk. And the faster the speed of the hard disk, the higher the temperature. This is the operation problem of the hardware itself, and has nothing to do with the software. Therefore, instead of using BT to protect the hard disk, it is more practical to improve the ventilation state of the chassis
the problem of repeated reading and writing does exist. Some people say that BT is like splitting two or three sections of a unilateral burning firewood to burn together. A lot of reading and writing will greatly accelerate the consumption of hard disk and burn the life of hard disk. Although this statement is reasonable, it is too exaggerated. In fact, it's not only bt that will increase the number of repeated reads and writes. Bad habits will not consume less hard disk than BT. By increasing the read and write buffer of BT program, the read and write times of BT can be greatly reced, and the consumption of hard disk can be reced. And correcting bad habits of hard disk can increase the life of hard disk. Therefore, as long as the adjustment is appropriate, the repeated read-write operation of BT will not consume the life of the hard disk
the situation of sector fault block is similar. There is no denying that the download of BT will proce a lot of blocks, but any computer that has been operating for a period of time will have a lot of blocks. The block itself is only a record of a sector, and will not affect the hard disk. The reason that multiple chunks will damage the hard disk is that each time a program or file is executed, it is necessary to search for different chunks to execute. This will not only slow down the operation speed, but also increase the workload of CPU and head, indirectly consuming the life of the hard disk. But this situation can be repaired by reorganizing the hard disk on a regular basis. Therefore, the life of the hard disk depends on the usage habits, rather than one or two kinds of software<

The main reason why BT damages the hard disk is not whether there is a cache, because the newly launched BT programs have provided the function of adjusting the cache. If you are afraid of hard disk damage, set the cache to 10MB or 20MB. The biggest cause of hard disk damage is actually BT's sharing concept.

Even if some people say that they have scrapped the hard disk because of BT, there is no direct evidence that BT has damaged the hard disk. Because who knows the cause of death of hard disk is BT, or bad habits of using hard disk? In the following space, the author will talk about the impact of BT on hard disk, and assume that if BT download is harmful to hard disk, how to protect our hard disk
what is BT
here is a short introction to BT. BT is the most efficient P2P program to download at present. The so-called P2P is the abbreviation of peer-to-peer (peer-to-peer transmission), which is a new way of file transmission. The old transmission mode is master-slave architecture, which transfers one point to many points through the server. The disadvantage is that the more the number of downloads, the lower the download efficiency. P2P users have the characteristics of both "client" and "server". They connect users and servers through P2P programs. They can download and upload at the same time, so as to achieve the goal of fast sharing. Kazaa, eDonkey and WinMX are all P2P programs, and BitTorrent is the most efficient one

BT features that the more people download, the faster the file download speed. It usually takes three days to download some hundreds of megabytes of large files with general eDonkey or other P2P programs. But with BT, if there are more seeds and more peers, it may take only a few hours to download hundreds of MB of files. No wonder P2P users are flocking to BT
players only need to install BT program and download torrent file from the network to start BT download. The program will connect to the tracker server to search how many seeds and users are downloading. The more seeds and users there are, the faster the downloading speed will be. After downloading, as long as the user does not close the program, it will automatically become the seed of the file and upload the file for other downloading users to achieve the purpose of sharing
the reason why BT is faster than WinMX and other P2P programs is that it has no mechanism of queuing to download. BT's concept is "as long as the number of people who download at the same time is more, the download will be faster", which is a little different from WinMX's concept of "the more the number of downloads completed, the faster the download will be". Therefore, if the files are very old, the efficiency of using BT to download will be reced accordingly, and even "extinct" situation will occur. It is necessary to "seek seed" from the person who has completed the download to continue transmission. However, BT has a large number of users. If a torrent file becomes extinct, a new torrent will be available for download in the near future. In addition, BT has the advantage of downloading large files. Therefore, BT is called "abnormal download" by some people. Does BT damage the hard disk
OK, back to the point. There has been a saying circulating on the network that the developers of BT use a bad hash algorithm because they lack the consideration of maintaining the hard disk, which makes BT download not like flash get and other commonly used download software to use the cache before writing the hard disk data, but directly write it to the hard disk, causing damage to the hard disk and ending the life of the hard disk earlier. However, some netizens who are familiar with computers put forward the evidence that BT does not consume hard disk. However, there is a saying in China that "we would rather believe in it". Therefore, it is beneficial to assume that BT will hurt the hard disk and make some rescue preparations
then, what is the reason that BT damages hard disk? There are nothing more than: 1. Temperature; 2、 Repeat read and write operations; 3、 Sector fault block, etc. will be explained one by one in the following space<
page 3: BT's three major accusations
BT's three major accusations: high temperature, repeated reading and writing, sector block
some people point out that the repeated reading and writing of BT to the hard disk will proce high temperature, which will increase the temperature of the hard disk and directly affect the service life of the hard disk. The more people download, the more people read your hard disk at the same time. A large number of repeated reading and writing actions on your hard disk speed up consumption. At the same time, because too many things are downloaded, the arrangement of sectors is chaotic. When reading and writing data, it is necessary to read in different sectors, increase the number of reading and writing, and speed up the consumption of hard disk
it can't be said that all these accusations are wrong, but is there any operation that doesn't damage the hard disk at all? In fact, any operation on the hard disk will consume the hard disk. Unless you seal the hard disk and do not use it, the hard disk will always be strained, so you can only say that BT may aggravate the consumption. But is this accusation Tenable
in fact, the high temperature of the hard disk is caused by the high-speed rotation of the hard disk and the friction between the hard disk and the air. In fact, the calorific value of reading and writing is very small. Even if you don't use BT, if you run the computer for a long time, listen to music and play 3D games, it will also be a hard disk. And the faster the speed of the hard disk, the higher the temperature. This is the operation problem of the hardware itself, and has nothing to do with the software. Therefore, instead of using BT to protect the hard disk, it is more practical to improve the ventilation state of the chassis
the problem of repeated reading and writing does exist. Some people say that BT is like splitting two or three sections of a unilateral burning firewood to burn together. A lot of reading and writing will greatly accelerate the consumption of hard disk and burn the life of hard disk. Although this statement is reasonable, it is too exaggerated. In fact, it's not only bt that will increase the number of repeated reads and writes. Bad habits will not consume less hard disk than BT. By increasing the read and write buffer of BT program, the read and write times of BT can be greatly reced, and the consumption of hard disk can be reced. And correcting bad habits of hard disk can increase the life of hard disk. Therefore, as long as the adjustment is appropriate, the repeated read-write operation of BT will not consume the life of the hard disk
the situation of sector fault block is similar. There is no denying that the download of BT will proce a lot of blocks, but any computer that has been operating for a period of time will have a lot of blocks. The block itself is only a record of a sector, and will not affect the hard disk. The reason that multiple chunks will damage the hard disk is that each time a program or file is executed, it is necessary to search for different chunks to execute. This will not only slow down the operation speed, but also increase the workload of CPU and head, indirectly consuming the life of the hard disk. But this situation can be repaired by reorganizing the hard disk on a regular basis. Therefore, the life of the hard disk depends on the usage habits, rather than one or two kinds of software<

no! As mentioned above, any operation on the computer will consume the life of the hard disk. The only problem is whether the consumption is serious. There is no denying that BT's operation and extended use habits are all types that will accelerate the consumption of hard disks. The main reason why BT damages the hard disk is not whether there is a cache, because the newly launched BT programs have provided the function of adjusting the cache. If you are afraid of hard disk damage, set the cache to 10MB or 20MB. The biggest cause of hard disk damage is actually BT's sharing concept.
