At present, mining is about electricity price and energy consumption. These two points have advantages, and mining is possible. If you can't do these two things, it's hopeless. Of course, it does not rule out that the electricity fee you added is free, and this can also be used for mining. You need to download a bitcoin wallet and back it up. Just put bitcoin in your wallet. However, if you don't know the technology, I suggest you store Bitcoin in your online wallet, which is very mature now. If you still don't understand, then you can go to Bitcoin House to see some netizens' suggestions.
I. Mine pool
Because the computing level of the whole bitcoin network is rising exponentially, a single device or a small amount of computing power cannot get the block reward provided by the bitcoin network on the bitcoin network. After the computing power of the whole network has been improved to a certain extent, the low probability of getting rewards has prompted some geeks on bitcointalk to develop a method that can combine a small amount of computing power and operate together. The website established in this way is called "Mine Pool".
In this mechanism, no matter how much computing power a single miner can use, as long as he participates in mining activities by joining the mine pool, no matter whether the effective data block mining is successful or not, he can get a small amount of bitcoin rewards through his own contribution to the mine pool, that is, multi-person cooperation mining, and the bitcoin rewards obtained are also shared by many people according to their contributions.
As of June 20 19, the top five bitcoin mining pools in the world are BTC.com, Poolin, AntPool, slush pool and F2Pool, and about 70% of the global computing power is in the hands of miners in China.
Second, the background
In the bitcoin world described in Satoshi Nakamoto's paper, the whole network generates a block every 10 minute on average, and each block contains 50 bitcoins (now 12.5, bitcoins are halved every four years or so), but a block can only be dug up by a lucky person and directly owns 50 of them (now 12.5, bitcoins every four years). This is doomed, if the number of participants in bitcoin mining is huge and dispersed to a certain extent, then the probability of digging bitcoin will be infinitely close to zero, similar to winning the lottery. Perhaps it takes 5~ 10 years to invest in a mining machine to mine a block, which makes bitcoin mining in an embarrassing situation, and ordinary people can hardly participate.
