Chapter 673: Acquisition

readx;

Soon after the year, the general network operation speed of the Bitcoin network once rushed to 100Ghash/s, but soon after, it instantly fell back to about 70G, and has been stable around this area since then. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, it has completely entered the era of graphics card mining, the previous CPU mining has been completely eliminated, a computer with a good configuration, the mining income is less than one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the graphics card mining, and even the electricity bill cannot be earned.

When the mining mechanism is designed, it needs to pay a lot of calculations, and the impact of a lot of computing on the hardware is manifested in the heat generation, whether it is a CPU or a graphics card, the chip must consume a lot of power when running at high speed.

In the early days of the Bitcoin network, its value had a lot to do with the amount of electricity consumed, which was equivalent to the effort of miners, and its value had to be at least higher than the electricity they paid to be accepted.

Of course, as more and more people join the Bitcoin network, the value of Bitcoin begins to break away from this causal relationship, and now the price of Bitcoin is close to one dollar, and as more and more media reports are being made, more and more people are paying attention to Bitcoin, which is the main reason for Bitcoin's rapid appreciation.

At present, Bitcoin mining has entered the era of pool mining.

A bitcoin mining pool is a mining center that collects a large number of scattered computing power, gathers these computing power, and combines them into a single unit, thereby reducing the difficulty of mining bitcoins, in other words, the probability of mining bitcoins will be greatly increased.

Then, the mining pool distributes the mined bitcoins according to the proportion of computing power contributed by the miners. This mechanism is similar to raising funds to invest and then dividends, except that the "funds" concentrated in the center of the mining pool are everyone's computing power, and the dividends are Bitcoin.

In the eyes of miners, computing power is money, and they do it this way. You can quickly realize the computing power you have and sell it for money.

According to statistics, the current computing power of Bitcoin mining pools has reached 10,000 mhash/s, accounting for a considerable proportion of the total network.

Moreover. It can be expected that the main mining force in the future will be mining pools, and the probability of mining bitcoin is very small.

The overall development of the Bitcoin community is also very smooth, with many products and services emerging around Bitcoin. Corresponding bitcoin exchanges have also been established around the world, but the largest exchange is still a trading website called mtgox, basically, the price of bitcoin is benchmarked against it, and the price of other websites around the world fluctuates with it.

In addition to Bitcoin trading stations. Websites for Bitcoin futures and Bitcoin stocks have also emerged.

Just the other day, in a newly established futures website, the first short sale trade was carried out. This means that Bitcoin futures have officially begun, and in the future, everyone will be able to short sell Bitcoin.

At the same time, a stock trading website called GLBSE also appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It is a dedicated Bitcoin stock trading site where everyone can issue shares while others can buy them using Bitcoin.

Before that, all individual shares were traded on the Bitcoin forum.

This is a free market, and the GLBSE is only responsible for confirming the identity of the issuer. It is only proved that the person actually exists, and then he has the right to issue shares.

Everyone's purpose of issuing shares is different, some say to buy mining machines for mining, raise funds, and distribute the mined bitcoins, and others. said that he had a very profitable business, and he also came to IPO.

In real life, if you want to issue shares, you can only do it on the stock exchange, and it needs to go through strict audits, and the issuer cannot be an individual, it must be a company.

And in the world of Bitcoin, this restriction does not exist, and any individual can issue it, as long as you can gain the trust of others, that is, the holders of Bitcoin, believing that you can bring them something in return.

Obviously, the risk is very high, and some people are likely to run away with the money raised. Just as some people have set up investment funds before, promising many people that they will invest in Bitcoin-related projects with extremely high rates of return, and in the end, many of these investment funds have been proven to be scams.

In the early days of the development of the Bitcoin community, everything was the most primitive, as if the stock and securities trading market had just appeared, and all the mechanisms were incomplete, and it was easy for some dishonest people to take advantage of it.

In the early days of the Bitcoin community, there was a high degree of trust between each other, and everyone attached great importance to their reputation in the community, and basically most of the trading activities were based on mutual trust and ethics.

In the early days, Bitcoin wasn't very valuable, and there were relatively few users, so there was no problem.

But in the later stages, many problems in the Bitcoin community gradually surfaced.

Because Bitcoin itself has a very high level of anonymity, it naturally protects users, including those who steal, launder, and scammer.

As the price of Bitcoin continues to climb, there have been some hacks and scams since the beginning of this year.

There are people who hack into the servers of trading websites and steal bitcoins from website wallets, and there are people who commit scams by raising funds and issuing shares.

Bitcoin's smooth sailing situation began to change, it became difficult, and the price began to fluctuate back and forth significantly.

In fact, Lin Hong had already expected this situation, and it can be said that this is the inevitable law of the development of such things, because it is determined by human nature.

Lin Hong did not meddle in these foods, Bitcoin has embarked on its own development path, any bumps and resistances are what it must face in the process of growth, and the current recurrence is for a more violent rise in the future.

Since Lin Hong last announced the fusion scheme between Bit Messenger and Bitcoin, the open source community has been working on this.

Someone has developed an additional client that integrates some of the functionality of BitMessenger into the Bitcoin wallet client, but only in the prototype and is only being tested internally.

Lin Hong lived in Tanglin City until after the Lantern Festival, and after drinking the wedding wine of his eldest brother Zhang Cheng, he returned to the company headquarters in Shanghai.

In the office, Zhang Jin is reporting to him.

"Mr. Lin, in the past few days, we have been in contact with most of the domestic game development companies, some of which are interested in selling, and I have selected three of them that are more powerful, if we want to enter the game field, the acquisition of one or several of them is the fastest effective way to enter this industry."

A few years ago, Lin Hong talked to Zhang Jin about this matter.

The three-color fire company has been accumulating for such a long time, basically it has been in a state of internal research and development, except for the linx system, there is not a single socially oriented product, and linx is open source, which cannot bring any profits to the company for the time being.

Lin Hong believes that this year, the company should be able to enter the stage of force, on the one hand, part of the research and development results commercialized, on the other hand, it will begin to expand rapidly, no longer as conservative as before.

At present, the first areas to expand are manufacturing and gaming.

Lin Hong himself is a game lover, when he first came into contact with the computer, he had the experience of playing games all night, and although he was busy, when a new game appeared, he would also find time to play it, but he rarely played it for a long time. Mainly because these games are too simple for him, or his operations are too perverted, and they are beyond the scope of ordinary players.

His favorite game production company is Blizzard in the United States, which has produced heavyweight historical masterpieces such as "Warcraft", "StarCraft", and "Diablo", each of which is a milestone in the history of the game.

Unfortunately, Lin Hong's previous intention to entrust Phyllis to invest in Blizzard was not achieved.

At present, Blizzard has become a giant, a leading company in the game, and it is impossible for him to invest or acquire it again.

After thinking about it, Lin Hong finally decided to let the three-color fire company do it himself.

He believes that with Lin Xiaoxing, Tricolor Fire will sooner or later surpass Blizzard and become the most popular game company in the world.

Lin Hong's plan to make a game was not all for Lin Xiaoxing, in fact, he had already considered this idea when the superbrain system came out.

For human society, games have always been an indispensable thing, before the birth of computer games, people also had a lot of games in their lives, hunting, playing cards, sports, etc., these are games.

Video games have a longer history than computers, and the Linux system was written by researchers at Bell Labs to play games.

Games can be used not only for fun, but also for learning. Lin Hong's plan to develop game products will not be limited to these existing game genres, and if it goes well, perhaps at some point in the future, he will combine games and superbrain systems to form an organic whole.

Lin Hong's focus is still on the superbrain system.

The purpose of expanding the manufacturing department is also to be able to further develop the superbrain system and build superbrain hardware in batches.

3D printing technology is a very high-tech technology, even if they now master the core technology, there is no corresponding materials and equipment to build.

The development of China in this area is greatly lagging behind the developed world of the West, and Lin Hong must start from the bottom to accumulate if he wants to put this technology into application as soon as possible.

Lin Hong took the information handed to him by Zhang Jin, skimmed it a little, and finally said: "These three companies are good, if you can, you can buy them, and then they will be reorganized and merged into the same company." ”

What surprised him a little was that he actually saw Gu Wei's company in the information.
