Generally speaking, most miners will not choose to mine at home, one reason is the high cost of electricity consumption at home, and the other reason is the operation of mining machines will produce high noise, which affects their daily lif...

In the early days of blockchain, a single computer could make money on a daily basis due to the small number of miners. With the total network hashrate growing, however, independent mining quickly became unprofitable. To deal with, some dev...

Broadly speaking, mining machine can be any machine that can run mining programs, such as professional mining machine, home computer, smart phone, server, smart router, smart watch, smart TV, and so on. In a narrow sense, mining machine ref...

"Hashrate" refers to the total combined computational power that is being used to mine and process transactions on a Proof-of-Work blockchain.Hashrate refers to the number of hashes that can be executed per second. Taking Bitcoin as an exam...

Cryptocurrency difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to mine a block in a blockchain for a particular cryptocurrency. A high cryptocurrency difficulty means it takes additional computing power to verify transactions entered on a bl...

Mining is a process of algorithmic computing, which, from the perspective of a computer and code, is a specific process of repeatedly executing a Hash function and testing the results of its execution. Different blockchains vary with algori...

Blockchain has seven features including: decentralization, global circulation, anonymity, tamper-proof, openness and transparency, traceability, and autonomy. ·Decentralization Decentralization is the most basic feature of blockchain, m...

The blockchain, according to its access mechanism, can be divided into three basic types, namely: public blockchain, consortium blockchain, and private blockchain. ·Public blockchain The public blockchain is the earliest blockchain, whi...
