In the field of blockchain, if bitcoin is a floppy disk, then Ethereum is a CD, he is a technological innovation. Ethereum is all about reimagining the way the Internet works. From shopping to app development to database storage, Ethereum wants to change all of these old things. In the future, on Ethereum, you will own and control all your data, thanks to blockchain.
ETH is an open source blockchain platform that allows people to freely develop smart contracts. Just like Android and Windows in the Internet, IT provides a set of specialized footlanguage for people to develop on. It provides a variety of modules for users to build an app. If building an app is like building a house, ethereum provides walls, roofs, floors, etc., and users just build the house like building blocks, so the cost and speed of building an app on Ethereum is greatly improved.
The mining algorithm of Ether is called Ethash, which is characterized by the positive correlation between the mining efficiency and memory size and memory bandwidth. In order to achieve high performance computing, a large amount of cache space is required, so as to resist ASIC mining machine. At present, miners generally buy a few pieces of graphics card, and then buy a special motherboard home DIY, or directly buy graphics card mining machine finished products.
For mining this behavior, the core lies in the “computing power”, with the increase of the difficulty of mining, a PC computer has been unable to meet the demand of mining, and the emergence of mining machine just to meet this demand. On the cost of mining machine, take the graphics card mining machine as an example, according to the configuration of the price, under normal circumstances, if the configuration of six GeForceGTX1070 graphics card, the price is generally about 22,000 yuan (for reference only, the actual prevail).
Mining machine hardware requirements, CPU and memory and hard disk capacity requirements are not high, mainly the motherboard requirements are provided with five PCI-1 slots and one PCI-E slot, through six PCI-E1X to 16X adapter can be matched with six independent graphics cards, power requirements are 1250W best, to meet the power of six graphics cards. The most important is the requirements of the graphics card, mining mainly rely on GPU computing, the best GTX1060 start, GTX1070, GTX1080 can, and AMD’s RX570, RX580 can, the better the performance of the graphics card, the higher the computing power, the higher the income. In addition, the heat dissipation of the graphics card is very important, it is best to have a digging machine with an electric fan or add a few chassis fans.
Now access to ethereum ETH method is actually a lot of, but mobile phone mining, is the future development trend, very convenient, do not buy their own mining machine, mobile phone can be mined, at any time to withdraw money, as long as you have a mobile phone, whether it is Apple or Android, can.
