Fractal Bitcoin is creating a FOMO craze. After supporting the development of the inscription rune industry for a year and a half, the Unisat team proposed the most native 2-layer solution for the Bitcoin ecosystem in the past year and a half, and gained broad consensus in the community: user interaction enthusiasm continues, with the number of interactive addresses reaching about 6 million; ecological projects compete for First and work all night to catch up with progress; BTC miners frantically switch computing power to test mining FB. This is a resonance of the interests of multiple parties in the Bitcoin ecosystem since Ordinals.
Fractal Bitcoin has set up a unique mining mechanism. One-third of the blocks support dual mining in the joint mining pool. On the one hand, it ensures the security of the chain, and on the other hand, BTC's existing computing power can mine BTC and FB at the same time.
@SoloFractal has used the technical experience accumulated over the years in the field of Web3 to publicly conduct mining power tests on computers (I9 \4090), 0.3-4T small computing power mining machines, and S21 \ S19 large computing power mining machines since August 14, and announced the progress of the test every day. After 3 days of testing, we have completed the testing of three types of mining equipment that everyone may use. The test network results are summarized as follows:
1. Computer (I9\4090)
Fractal Bitcoin has just started mining. It is generally believed that the computing power is not large in the early stage, and it should be possible to mine with a computer. We have specially conducted tests.
- Use CPU MINER to mobilize the CPU for testing, and it shows unsuccessful
- Use CGMINER to mobilize GPU for testing. The startup is successful, and the computing power is only 10Gh/s
Summary: Although computers can be used for mining, the many S19 models on the market caused the early mining power of Fractal Bitcoin to be too high. At the same time, because the comprehensive power of computers is 200-300W, it is relatively power-consuming. It is recommended not to use computers for mining. Even if you mine with a 4090 graphics card, the sound is very loud.
2. 0.3-4T small computing power mining machine
On July 24, a small mining machine with 500G computing power mined a block alone on the Bitcoin mainnet, monopolizing 3 BTC rewards. This instantly ignited the global SOLO mining craze. This time, Fractal Bitcoin has just started mining, and small mining machines should have a certain chance of mining. We tested small mining machines of multiple brands.
1. 320G and 1T luckyminer, directly connected to @SoloFractal mining pool, successfully mined 2 blocks in 24 hours, and received 50 FB rewards
2. 4 T Avalon 3, directly connected to @SoloFractal mining pool, successfully mined 4 blocks in 24 hours, and received 100 FB rewards
Summary: Low-computing mining machines are more suitable for home use, with prices ranging from 60 to 300 USD. Because of their small size (book or mobile phone size), low power consumption (14-140W), low noise (30-36 dB), and power sockets, they can be placed in places with good air circulation such as living rooms. Currently, they are considered one of the better choices for retail investors to participate in mining.
3. S21 \ S19 high computing power mining machine
Directly connected to @SoloFractal mining pool, it successfully mined 60% of the blocks and output in 24 hours, with obvious advantages.
Summary: Mining is not currently supported in China. In addition, high-computing-power mining machines have a power of 3000W, are noisy, and generate a lot of heat, which is not suitable for families. They can only be hosted in foreign mining farms. It is basically too late to test the network at present, so you can wait until the main network is launched to participate.
4. Access to mining pool
The Solo mining set up by @Solo Fractal and Fractal Bitcoin is a SOLO mining platform with a public mining pool address on the Fractal Bitcoin ecosystem. Currently, the computing power of mining machines connected through @Solo Fractal accounts for 60-70% of the computing power of the entire Fractal Bitcoin network.
