mining 2021

 Earlier this year, I wrote an article about mining Bitcoin on any PC and also shared the details of the

cryptocurrency mining PC I built in 2018. By mining some bitcoins, I have a deeper understanding of how cryptocurrency mining works. (And earned more than $1,600 in the process.) What if you want to take it to the next level and use modern components to build your own cryptocurrency mining computer in 2021? I decided to look for answers and asked my friend Adam (a computer engineer for a security company) for help. (When I asked him how he wanted to be featured in this article, he asked about "the magnificent Adam", but let's continue talking about "Adam".) Adam has a comprehensive set of "modern home PCs for cryptocurrency mining" List of materials. Only use the details of major retailers (such as Amazon or Newegg) for development. I bought all the parts, built a computer, and tested its functions. This is my method and how you can build your own modern mining computer. First-principles mining refers to the mathematical process performed by computers to create new cryptocurrencies and record transactions on the blockchain.Most cryptocurrency mining computers use graphics cards or GPUs to perform mining operations. You can use the processor to mine, but it is not efficient. This is the bad news for PCs built for mining in 2021: With the amazing soaring of cryptocurrency prices, finding GPUs today can be an incredible challenge, and GPU prices are skyrocketing. Completely out of control. "Potential miners are now paying $850 for a GPU that was a few hundred dollars in the past. This tutorial assumes that you acquired the GPU through a side transaction (debugger details are not provided), or you already have a GPU (in my case, I There is an NVIDIA 1070 GTX in the previous cryptocurrency experiment, which was priced at $349 in 2018. Your goal is to use the simplest components to collect non-GPU bits on a mining PC as cheaply as possible, which shows what is needed to build the foundation Parts need to be better, cheaper, more efficient and more effective. Compared to a few years ago, it is easier to obtain, and now it is easier and more economical to build a basic mining PC than before.This is the material list made by Adam the Great (sorry) for my entry-level mining PC: Gigabyte GA-A320M motherboard ($45.99) Roswell SRM-01B box ($19.99) Oloy 8 Drive GB ($37.99) 128GB M2 SEKC SSD (US$25.99), 500W Raidmax power supply (US$33.98) AMD A10-9700 CPU (US$85.99) When I bought them in March 2021, their total cost was US$249. They are more expensive, about $332 on Amazon.Even if the price fluctuates, you should be able to buy this full-spec product for around $300 without a GPU. You can make some changes to the specification to adjust your mining computer for better performance or even cheaper. If you have a SATA drive, you can eat it and save the cost of M2 devices. My M2 device broke, or messed up my device (more on that later), so anyway I ate an old SATA drive on a PC that I never used. You can also skip this case. Many miners construct their PCs as "banking assemblies" with all components open. Some people even use their own hands to build boxes with wood or other materials for the platform. Be careful not to touch or damage your components. You can also change the parts list to make the mining computer more efficient. In previous mining experiments, I replaced it with Raidmax power supply in the latest version.Platinum power supplies are more efficient, which means they can use less power to mine cryptocurrency, which will help reduce operating costs. Creating cheaper (or more powerful) versions of building blocks, adding parts you have on hand, etc., creating a custom mining PC is fun-you can build it from scratch, so you can take any action. Construction First, I put all the parts on the workbench. First, I knocked on the metal surface to dissipate static electricity, then opened the package and inspected everything. Then, install the motherboard connector of my motherboard in the Rosewill box. Then I aligned and installed the motherboard. I forgot for the first time
