Introduction of video card mining
A graphics card, a software that can earn bitcoin. Inject new bitcoin (data hashing) into the whole bitcoin market, and then the market will have a certain incentive mechanism (allocate bitcoin to you in proportion). Because if you don't get it, no one will do it, just like your computer is a miner, and bitcoin is the reward
Computer graphics card mining: refers to the process of mining bitcoin with computer graphics card
video card mining is a formula with many answers. Users download the decoder from personal computer and then run a specific algorithm to decode it. After communicating with the remote server, they can get the corresponding bitcoin. The more powerful the graphics card is, the faster the decoding speed is, and the faster bitcoin will be g. It's also called mining

Mining, in fact, is to use graphics card to dig bitcoin
bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items
for mining machines, the most important thing is the graphics card. Generally, you can choose the most basic motherboard that supports 6 graphics cards, and later you can choose the more complex motherboard that supports more than 12 graphics cards. The specific suggestions are as follows:
1. CPU - CPU can choose the most basic and cheap CPU, as long as you can bring the system up normally, Generally, you can choose Intel's g3900 CPU with a unit price of about 200 yuan< Operating system is too laggy. If you use 6 graphics cards, you need at least 4G of memory. If you are 12 graphics cards, the windows operating system needs at least 8g of the memory. Otherwise, the system will be very stuck and then can not work normally. The Linux operation system can be 4G memory. < br > />2.
3. Motherboard - it is recommended for novices to directly choose the special mining motherboard of Yingtai series. The models are tb250 BTC with 6 card slots and tb250 btcpro with 12 card slots, as well as H81 series motherboard of Huaqing
4. Hard disk - SSD hard disk is needed for hard disk, because the reading speed is fast, and virtual memory needs to be set. SSD hard disk can improve some performance theoretically. If you use Windows system, you need at least 64GB, and Linux system can use 16GB
5. Operating system for windows, it is recommended that win10 system, corresponding to NVIDIA series and AMD Series graphics cards, can recognize up to 8 cards respectively. If the motherboard of 12 cards needs N cards and a cards to be mixed, then we can make full use of the motherboard graphics card slot
6. Graphics card - the mainstream mining graphics card models are amd Series graphics cards rx470, rx570, rx580, NVIDIA Series graphics cards gtx1060, gtx1070 and so on. It is recommended to choose 4G or more memory, and 8g is the best.
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
In short, mining is the use of chips for a random number related calculation, get the answer in exchange for a virtual currency. Virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer
In his paper, Nakamoto stated:"in the absence of central authority, it not only encourages miners to support bitcoin network, but also enables bitcoin's currency circulation system to have the initial source of money injection."
Nakamoto compares the generation of bitcoin by consuming CPU power and time to the consumption of resources by gold mines to inject gold into the economy. Bitcoin mining and node software mainly initiates zero knowledge proof and verification transactions through peer-to-peer network, digital signature and interactive proof system
each network node concts broadcast transactions to the network. After these broadcast transactions are verified by miners (computers on the network), miners can use their own work proof results to express their confirmation. The confirmed transactions will be packaged into data blocks, and the data blocks will form a continuous data block chain
Nakamoto himself designed the first version of bitcoin mining program, which was later developed into the first generation of widely used mining software bitcoin, which was popular from 2009 to mid-2010
each bitcoin node will collect all the unconfirmed transactions and gather them into a data block. The miner node will add a random adjustment number and calculate the SHA-256 hash value of the previous data block. The mining node tries again and again until it finds the random adjustment number so that the hash value is lower than a specific target
extended data
at the earliest, bitcoin miners were mining through Intel or AMD CPU procts. But because mining is a computing intensive application, and with the continuous improvement of mining number and equipment performance, the difficulty graally increases, now using CPU mining has no profit or even loss
as of 2012, since the first quarter of 2013, miners graally began to use GPU or FPGA and other mining equipment [5]. At the same time, a large number of ASIC devices were launched in mid 2013
since July 2013, the computing power of the whole network has shown a straight-line rise e to the large number of ASIC equipment put into operation. Based on the average computing power in July 2013, all CPU mining equipment has been unable to generate positive revenue, and FPGA equipment is close to no revenue
according to the estimation of average computing power in September 2013, the existing small ASIC mining equipment developed for indivials will also be close to no positive revenue in the next 1-2 months. A large amount of computing power is monopolized by cluster ASIC mining equipment with 5 th ash / s or more. Because of no profit, indivial mining is almost squeezed out of mining groups. Some bitcoin miners have raised funds to build machine rooms and install a large number of mining equipment in places where low-cost electricity can be obtained
in order to save the cost of mining, some bitcoin miners make mining programs into malicious programs to infect other people's computers on the network to mine for themselves
in short, mining is to use the chip to carry out a calculation related to the random number, and get the answer in exchange for a virtual coin. Virtual currency can be exchanged for the currency of each country through some way. The stronger the computing power, the faster the chip can find this random answer. Theoretically, the more virtual coins can be proced per unit time. Because it's about random numbers, you can only get rewards if you happen to find the answer. It's possible that one chip will find the answer in the next second, or ten chips won't find the answer in a week. The more chips compute at the same time, the easier it is to find the answer, and the mining machine with built-in multi chips appears. And a number of mining machines to form a "mine" at the same time mining is to improve efficiency. In the mine pool, multiple "self-employed" join an organization to mine together. No matter who finds the answer and digs out the virtual coin, everyone gets the corresponding reward according to the calculation ability of contribution. This way can make the income of "self-employed" more stable
take a popular example:
I write a string of numbers on a piece of paper and give some hints. Whoever guesses correctly will be given a bonus (mining)
smart people can make more guesses (calculation ability)
some people pay money to invite many people to come back and guess together (mining)
some people call everyone together to guess, no matter who guesses, Distribute the bonus (mine pool) according to the proportion of guessing times of each person
the rest is too long, you can search by yourself...

the difference between mine card and ordinary graphics card
the most essential difference between special mine card and ordinary graphics card is whether there is a display interface, some have no or only one interface, and other mainstream HDMI, DVI, DP HD interfaces have been castrated, so they can only be used for mining, not suitable for playing games
the special mine card is only equipped with PCI-E 1.1 because it only aims at the general calculation application of mining with low bus bandwidth requirements × 16 interface, and the ordinary game graphics card is equipped with a higher specification of the mainstream pci-e2.0 / 3.0 specification
to see if the core is yellow, some parts of the new card will be light yellow, but at that time, the color of the protective paint is yellow, while the core yellow of the mine card is yellow and burnt yellow caused by high-frequency use of heat for a long time
