Mining system of CSTK
You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years
the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin
in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned
extended data:
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 bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer
when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. 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 about 21 million
Mining needs high-end graphics card, mining equipment is the first to eliminate NV graphics card. Mining must be done with graphics cards. The overall structure of mining equipment and ordinary PC machine is different is the number of graphics cards. You can install four or eight through pic extension
after expansion, an expansion shelf needs to be made. To fix the graphics card and other equipment, we need to get some fans on the shelf to cool the graphics card
CPU is not very important. But not lower than i5< br />
a total of 2100W bitcoins are issued, and each block is generated for 10 minutes, and a block rewards a certain number of bitcoins. In the beginning, 50 bitcoins were awarded for each block of mining. In the future, the reward was halved for every 21000 blocks (about once every four years). Now, 12.5 bitcoins are awarded for each block generated. The generation time of each block is 10 minutes, but with the development of computer technology, now the mining calculation power is increasing, so the generation time of a block must be less than 10 minutes, which requires certain control measures to ensure this time. This measure is the difficulty of mining. If the output time of each block is less than 10 minutes, the difficulty of mining will be increased. If the output time is more than 10 minutes, the difficulty of mining will be reced. The difficulty adjustment time is 2016 blocks, that is, 2 weeks
after every 2016 blocks, all nodes will automatically adjust the mining difficulty according to a certain formula. This formula is obtained by comparing the latest time spent in 2016 blocks in this cycle with the expected time (20160 minutes, i.e. two weeks)
new difficulty = old difficulty * (time spent in the past 2016 blocks / 20160 minutes)
the principle of bitcoin mining is to implement rules made by people and automatically executed by computers
Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, has stipulated this rule from the very beginning, and those who participate in bitcoin blockchain must automatically abide by it unconditionally
The content ofrules is generally ,
people who pack the circulation data of bitcoin, arrange it into a fixed size, and then upload it to the blockchain for bitcoin whole network synchronous broadcasting can get 50 bitcoins rewarded by the system
under certain conditions, these rewards will be halved, about once every four years
so how to complete the data packing
the person who wants to complete this action must first have the necessary tools, that is, the software to execute the bitcoin blockchain, and the machine (computer at the beginning) to run the software; Then download and save all the bitcoin transaction data that have been recognized by the whole network. At this time, you become a "node" and a part of protecting the blockchain data
Thenode can only get the priority of the packaged data after running a specific mathematical formula and getting the correct answer. The system will automatically give the reward to the node who gets the priority, who completes the packaging first and then uploads it to the blockchain, and receives and approves it from other nodes
if there is bitcoin service charge in the packaged transaction, the service charge belongs to the node
people think that the process of calculating the mathematical formula and then completing the package to get the reward is just like fishing for gold in the river. It is necessary to discard many wrong answers in order to find the right key to get gold, so people compare this process to mining
so bitcoin mining is not really to dig something, or to use computers to constantly collide and guess. Whoever guesses first wins the reward, that's all
Bitcoin mining is a process of using computer hardware to do mathematical calculation for bitcoin network to confirm transactions and improve security
Tesla may support bitcoin payment, which means that there is a "man in the middle entity" processing system between consumers and terminal merchants . Consumers transfer bitcoin from their "digital wallet" to this entity, which converts it into US dollars and gives it to merchants
for example, including at & amp; Companies including T and Microsoft have accepted bitcoin payments through the cryptocurrency payment processor bitpay. Bitpay has begun to accept payments from some luxury car dealers, but has yet to work with Tesla
the transaction settlement of "man in the middle" processing system is to avoid the impact of bitcoin price volatility on businesses. Payment giant PayPal is expected to allow cryptocurrency transactions on its network by the middle of 2021, but still chooses to settle transactions through the intermediary Paxos trust company
companies like Paxos trust company issue so-called "stable currency" linked to US dollars to customers, which means that businesses and paypal do not have to hold bitcoin directly
{rrrrrrr}

Tesla's innovation has two sides.
experts believe that Tesla's innovation may be that it will cancel the "middleman" in the future and create its own currency processing system, which can be used to accept bitcoin payments and carry out liquidation when necessary. In other words, consumers can directly transfer bitcoin to Tesla's system, and Tesla can choose to hold bitcoin or choose to liquidate
but it also means that Tesla needs to set guaranteed exchange rates for its customers in a very short period of time. "Tesla is likely to continue to price electric vehicles in dollars, and if consumers choose to pay for bitcoin, the price could last for five minutes," said Denny masters, chairman of coinshares
an investor who has been optimistic about Tesla for a long time told China Business News: "from the perspective of currency over issuance, musk has his own views, and Tesla's investment in bitcoin is worthy of attention."
