As a newly launched blockchain project, Filecoin has not been known for a long time in China. It is completely an emerging industry. For many people who are new to Filecoin, there are many things that need to be paid attention to, such as computing power. This is a problem that everyone is more concerned about. V|jasonbody
To put it simply, Filecoin's mining principle is to store data in a storage server to obtain effective computing power to obtain network revenue rewards.
Before the Filecoin mainnet was launched, there were disputes about cloud computing power and physical mining machines in the market. Some said that cloud computing power was better, and some said that physical mining machines were better. Nowadays, the concept of full computing power has appeared again. Let's analyze it.
Cloud computing power: is to split the physical mining machine for secondary sales, such as a 96T overall mining machine, and split it into several 8T computing power units for sale. This mechanism is more friendly to small-scale funders, with low participation threshold and good flexibility. But the disadvantage is that because cloud computing power is considered a virtual product, there is no entity, unlike physical mining machines, it is a real thing, so there is room for operation, such as oversold conditions, 96T mining machines can be sold for 192T or even more In many cases, transparency is also open to question.
Mining machine: Since Bitcoin is also sold as a whole mining machine, all this is better understood. Because of Filecoin's mining mechanism, there is an encapsulation period. At present, the head company generally has about 100 days. The encapsulation process produces coins, such as If 1T of effective computing power is packaged today, then the first day is the output of 1T of block explorer's 24H mining efficiency. Tomorrow 1T will be packaged again, and the next day will be the output of 24H mining efficiency 2T. Until the package is full!
Secondly, all mining machines have a redundant design. For example, a mining machine labeled 96T, the actual maximum computing power cannot reach 96T. At present, the best storage solution in the industry is four-copy backup. Disk acquisition rate and stability are in the forefront of the industry, especially stability is the most critical. Therefore, for a 96T mining machine, the effective computing power is generally around 80T. So if someone says that their mining machine is not redundant, if it is not stupid then it is bad, deliberately cheating consumers.
Full computing power: Full computing power is not a form of special envoy. It is the same as cloud computing power or physical computing power. It is generally a product after the mainnet is launched. It refers to the sale of encapsulated computing power, so It has no encapsulation waiting period. For example, if the mining machine packs 1T effective computing power today, then the 1T effective computing power is the so-called full storage power. Because the packaged computing power needs to invest in packaging time, pledge coins, gas fees and other expenses in the early stage, its price is generally much higher than that of cloud computing power and far exceeds its cost. I believe many people have seen that some companies currently promote package pledges, and gas fees sell such computing power, and the prices are generally ridiculously high. The minimum starts from 5000/T, and the highest is 12 thousand.
Among the above three computing power products, full computing power is also the shortest mining cycle, so it seems that the output is higher, but considering the cost factor, it has the longest payback cycle!
Through the description of this article, small funds participate in cloud computing power, and if the amount of funds is large, they will participate in mining machine investment. If the computing power is full, it still needs to be carefully considered. Only in this way can your profits be maximized.
