What Is Cryptocurrency Mining?

Do not think cryptocurrency mining as the operation of a virtual excavator for money. The ‘mining’ is in fact the offering of a computer’s processing power to operate the circulation of virtual money.The userallows their computer to verify the authenticity of pending financial transactions, which grants entitles them for a small compensation from the system.

However, even higher amounts may be received with some cryptocurrencies by the constant emission of new money released into circulation as it is deposited into the accounts of the ‘miners’,the owners of the computers verifying the transactions. The provision of one’s computing power may provide interesting funds, offering the possibility of speculating on the future growth of a currency’s exchange rate and turning their virtual savings into real money.

It has already been indicated that cryptocurrency mining requires a good deal of computing power.In fact, its requirements dwarf the possibilities of contemporary CPUs. Of course one can count onthe free power of their home desktop system. However, its low performance does not make anyone rich – it simply cannot verify a sufficient number of transactions.

One of the more efficient mining tools is the use of the considerably higher performance of one’s graphics processing unit (AMD products are more suitable than nVidia). However, sensible income only comes from a system featuring several GPUs. A fitting method of acquiring such a computer is renting it, which allows people to start mining immediately, without the gross initial investment.

One video card Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 has computing power 2867.2 GFLOPS. At this server are installed 3 cards and they are all connected through PCIExpres-16 slot.
