Research progress of graphics card mining
mining, in fact, is a problem-solving process. First, we work out a formula with many answers, and then the dealer releases a random answer every other period of time. An answer is the prototype of a virtual coin. We can see who can calculate the answer at this time, and then this person or these people can divide the virtual coin. When the result comes out, we can find the answer, virtual currency is attached with information such as the computer information and problem-solving time of the tester, so that the virtual currency can be "materialized", that is, it has traceability and uniqueness attributes. At this time, the virtual currency is officially g out
using the graphics card is because the computing method of the graphics card is different from that of the CPU. The CPU focuses on logic computing. The graphics card is simple computing, and mining (that is, solving problems) just needs simple computing power. Therefore, mining with the graphics card
bitcoin miner is the equipment for mining bitcoin. The mining equipment can be ordinary computer or USB miner, It can also be a professional ASIC miner
It is true that ordinary computer CPU can mine bitcoin, but because bitcoin mining has formed a huge instry all over the world, it is difficult for indivials to mine bitcoin with ordinary computers. You need to buy expensive and professional bitcoin
ASIC mining machine
and join the bitcoin miners organization to dig bitcoin, that is, to join a mining pool for mining
First of all, CPU and GPU are designed differently for different missions in the computer:1. CPU is mainly optimized for serial instructions, while GPU is optimized for large-scale parallel computing
Modern multi-core CPUs aim at instruction set parallelism (ILP) and task parallelism (TLP), while GPUs aim at data parallelism (DLP)3. GPU often has a larger bandwidth of memory, that is, the so-called video memory, so it will also have good performance in high throughput applications
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

Simply put, it is to use your graphics card to work for others in your spare time in exchange for compensation. Only AMD's graphics card is suitable
graphics card mining to make money:
1. Determine the virtual currency to be mined
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.
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...
