What does video card mining mean? Does video card mining really make money?

Do you know what graphics card mining is? Many friends who don't understand have only heard one word but don't know what the so-called mining means. Is it really carrying a hoe down the well? The answer is definitely not. Before we talk about mining, let's learn about virtual currency. The earliest virtual currencies are Bitcoin, Ethereum, TEDA, Ripple, Ada, Bi 'an, Lite and EOS.

In the early days, the CPU of our computer could mine. Later, due to the increasing difficulty of mining, the computing power of CPU has declined, and when high-end mining is needed, graphics cards will be used to mine. At the earliest time, AMD, that is, ATI, was mainly used to mine graphics cards, while NVIDIA used less. They all used the mainstream high-end graphics cards at that time, such as RX570/580/470/480 of A card, GTX1060/1070/1080 of NVIDIA, and even NVIDIA specially developed the mining graphics card P 106. With the increasing income from mining, the price of graphics cards is also rising. At first, the market price 1500 yuan's video card was fired to 3000 yuan.

Then what do we mean by video card mining? Mining is to use our graphics card to violently crack some programs. The greater the workload, the higher the income. Miners generally use 6-8 graphics cards, with more 10- 12. At present, it is more and more difficult to mine GTX 10 series graphics cards and RX400/500 series graphics cards. The memory of these graphics cards is only 3G4G, which can't meet our performance requirements and will be eliminated soon. The main mining forces in the future mainly include RX570/580/590, and graphics cards with at least 8G memory.

Are some friends very concerned about how high the income of this thing can be? Let's just say. Mining used to be a profiteering industry. For example, in 20 17, when a mining machine with 6 graphics cards peaked, the daily income could reach 150 yuan. Our net income is 130, which is nearly 4000 yuan a month. Of course, this is only theoretical, and there will still be some market fluctuations in it. 20 17, the market is bullish. In fact, if you are lucky, you will be able to return to your capital in about 70 days. There are also some uncontrollable factors, such as the "94 incident" on 20 17. Many people can't stand the decrease in income and have to sell their machines out of the pit. This period of time is known as. No matter how expensive the machine used to be, the cost was recovered in 70- 100 days. After that, the assets of this mining machine became our net cost, that is, we earned the whole mining machine for nothing, and the profit was considerable. This is just an opportunity. What if there are 30, 50 or even 65,438+000 machines working at the same time? Is it violent to make money?

Some friends must be impatient. Would you like to ask if mining is still profitable now? It is suggested that friends in into the pit should not like those in into the pit. Why? Because mining is a game in which capital is competing, we small self-employed people can't afford to play and can't afford it. This is a long-term investment process, and short-term investment is difficult to pay off. Anyone who has experienced mining knows the 94 incident in 20 17, the115 incident and the battle between BCH and BSV. At that time, the 1 15 incident also caused several major crashes. After the crash, many people lost confidence. This has also led to a large number of mining cards flooding into the market, so I said above that I should try not to buy those graphics cards, and if I buy mining cards, I will lose a lot.

A friend wants to ask me why I can't buy a mine card. What's the difference between mine card and ordinary graphics card? Because the mine card has been in a humid environment and has been working at high load, some interfaces of the mine card have been burned out and scrapped, and even those that have not been scrapped have left hidden dangers. If you use a mine card, it may not suddenly collapse one day, and the probability of such a rollover is still quite high.

So I don't recommend you to enter this circle. It's not that you don't make money. It's just that we self-employed people can hardly survive in this circle. This is a test of human nature. We won't make money in the short term. At present, the people who make money are basically large enterprise-level teams. Nowadays, mining has become an industrialized and standardized industry, and the era when self-employed individuals made a fortune by mining has become a thing of the past.

? Finally, I would like to add that the above-mentioned mining market was before 202 1, but this year is a special year, and virtual currency has skyrocketed. For example, at the peak of Bitcoin, it reached 40W+ RMB, but it was also risky. A few days ago, it plummeted by 30%, causing many people to explode! Although it rose a lot later, this kind of skyrocketing and plunging is really unbearable for a small heart. The price of graphics cards has also increased several times because of mining. For example, the release price of 3070/3080 rose to 10,000, and even the low-end graphics card like 1660 rose to more than 5,000. If you bought a mine graphics card the year before last, congratulations! If you want to start now, be careful! The current graphics card market will increase your mining cost several times. Once there is a mine disaster, these graphics cards will plummet immediately, and your loss will be too great. Therefore, everyone is not ready for everything. No, into the pit.
