Chapter 673 Acquisition

Not long after the year, the total network speed of the Bitcoin network once rushed to... But soon after, it instantly fell back to about 70G, and has been stabilized in this area since then.

At this time, it has completely entered the era of graphics card mining. The previous CPU mining has been completely eliminated. A well-configured computer, mining income is less than one-tenth or even one-twentieth of that of graphics card mining, and even the electricity bill can't be earned.

When the mining mechanism is designed, it requires a lot of calculations, and the impact of a large number of calculations on hardware is reflected in the heating. Whether it is the CPU or the 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 has a lot to do with the electricity consumed, which is equivalent to the efforts of miners, whose value is at least higher than the electricity bill they pay before it can be accepted.

Of course, with more and more people joining the Bitcoin network, the value of Bitcoin has begun to break away from this causal relationship. Now the price of Bitcoin is close to one dollar. With more and more media reports, more and more people pay attention to Bitcoin, which is the main reason for the rapid appreciation of Bitcoin.

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

The Bitcoin mining pool is a mining center. The mining pool collects many scattered computing power, gathers these computing power and synthesizes it into one, thus reducing the difficulty of mining Bitcoin. In other words, the probability of mining Bitcoin will be greatly improved.

Then, the mining pool will allocate the bitcoins mined according to the proportion of the calculation power contributed by the miners. This mechanism is similar to raising funds to invest and then dividends, but 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 use it in this way. You can quickly realize the computing power you have mastered and sold it for money.

According to statistics, the current computing power of Bitcoin mining pool has reached... occupying a large proportion of the total network.

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

The overall development of the Bitcoin community is also very smooth. With Bitcoin as the center, there are many derived products and services. 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 based on its benchmark, and the prices of other websites around the world fluctuate with it.

Except for the Bitcoin trading station. There are also websites for Bitcoin futures and Bitcoin stocks.

Just a few days ago, the first short trade was conducted in a newly established futures website. This means that Bitcoin futures have officially started, and in the future, everyone will be able to sell Bitcoin short.

At the same time, a stock trading website called GLBSE also appeared in front of everyone. This is a special Bitcoin stock trading website, where everyone can issue shares, while others can use Bitcoin to buy.

Before that, all personal stocks were carried out on the section of the Bitcoin forum.

This is a free market, and GLBSE is only responsible for confirming the identity of the issuer. Only prove that this person does exist, and then you have the right to issue shares.

Everyone has different purposes for issuing shares. Some say that they want to buy miners for mining, raise funds, and distribute dividends on the bitcoins. He said that he had a very profitable business and also came to the IPO.

In real life, if you want to issue stocks, you can only issue stocks on the stock exchange, and you need to go through a strict review. The issuer cannot be an individual, but must be a company.

In the world of Bitcoin, this restriction does not exist. Any individual can issue it as long as you can gain the trust of others, that is to say, the holders of Bitcoin believe that you can bring them a return.

Obviously, this risk is very large, and some people are likely to run away with the funds raised. Just as someone set up an investment fund before, they promised many people that they would invest in Bitcoin-related projects with a very high rate of return. In the end, many such investment funds proved to be scams.

In the early stage of the development of the Bitcoin community, everything was the most primitive. As if the stock and securities exchange market had just emerged, all mechanisms were incomplete, and it was easy to be taken advantage of by some dishonest people.

In the early Bitcoin community, there was a high degree of trust in each other. Everyone attached great importance to their reputation in the community. Basically, most of the transaction activities were based on mutual trust and ethics.

In the early days, Bitcoin was not very valuable, and there were fewer users, and there was no problem.

But in the later stage, many problems in the Bitcoin community gradually emerged.

Because Bitcoin itself has a very high anonymity, it naturally protects users, including theft, money laundering and fraudsters.

With the rising price of Bitcoin, some hacking and fraud incidents have gradually emerged since this year.

Some people hack into the trading website server and steal Bitcoin from the website wallet, while others cheat by raising funds and issuing stocks.

The smooth development of Bitcoin has begun to change and become difficult, and the price has also begun to fluctuate back and forth.

In fact, Lin Hong has already predicted this situation. 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 interfere with these foods. Bitcoin has embarked on its own development path. Any ups and downs and resistance must be faced in the process of its growth. The current repetition is for a more violent rise in the future.

Since Lin Hong last announced the integration plan between Bitcoin and Bitcoin, the open source community has already begun to work on this.

Someone has developed another client to integrate some of the functions of the bit messenger into the Bitcoin wallet client, but it is only a simple prototype, just an internal test.

Lin Hong lived in Dongling City until after the Lantern Festival. 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, we have been in contact with most domestic game development companies in the past few days, and some of them are interested in selling. I have selected three of them with more strength. If we want to enter the game field, acquiring one or more of them is the most 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 accumulated for such a long time, and has basically been in an internal research and development state. Except for the LINX system, there is no social-oriented product, and LINX is open source, which cannot bring any profit to the company for the time being.

Lin Hong believes that by this year, the tricolor fire company should be able to enter the stage of development. On the one hand, it will commercialize some of the R&D results, and on the other hand, it will begin to expand rapidly and no longer be as conservative as before.

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

Lin Hong himself is a game enthusiast. When he first came into contact with the computer, he had the experience of playing games all night. Later, although he was busy, when a new game appeared, he would also take time to play it, but he rarely played it for a long time. The main reason is that these games are too simple for him, or his operation is too abnormal, which is beyond the scope of ordinary players.

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

Unfortunately, Lin Hong's previous intention to entrust Phylise to invest in Blizzard has not been achieved.

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

After thinking about it, Lin Hong finally decided to let the Tricolor Fire Company do it by itself.

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

Lin Hong planned to play games, 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 indispensable. Before the birth of computer games, people also had many games in their lives, such as hunting, playing cards, sports, etc. These are games.

The history of video games is even longer than that of computers. At the beginning, the LINUX system was born because the researchers of Bell Labs wrote it to play games.

Games can be used not only for entertainment, but also for learning. The game products that Lin Hong intends to develop will not be limited to the existing game types. If it goes well, perhaps at some point in the future, he will combine the game and the superbrain system 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 further develop the superbrain system and build superbrain hardware in batches.

3D printing technology is a high-tech technology with a very high technical content. Even if they have mastered the core technology now, there is no corresponding materials and equipment to build it.

And the domestic development in this regard lags far behind that of the developed world in the West. If Lin Hong wants to apply this technology as soon as possible, he must accumulate it from the bottom.

Lin Hong took the information handed to him by Zhang Jin, browsed it a little, and finally said, "These three companies are all good. If possible, take them all of them. At that time, they will be reorganized and merged into the same company."

To his surprise, he actually saw Gu Wei's company in the information. RQ
