Simply put, Bitcoin mining is the process of creating new bitcoins by verifying the transactions in the Bitcoin network.
Today, this is done using purpose-built Bitcoin mining devices, the ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) miners, which are used to solve a mathematical problem (hashing). Miners get rewarded with 12.5 new bitcoins per new block in return. A new block is generated approximately every 10 minutes, resulting in a total of 657,000 bitcoins or $ 3.613.500.000 per year at current valuation.
The capital cost to buy miners, the power consumption of running the hardware, plus operating expenses to keep the operation running are all including inside the transactions cost of verify and check . The more computational power is employed to do the “hashing”, the bigger the share of the total reward that goes to the miner. The block creation rate is stabilized by network self- adjusts the difficulty of the hashing calculations every 10 minutes. As a result, the rate of creating new bitcoins stays the same, no matter if there are 1,000 or 100,000 miners.
Industrial-Scale Bitcoin Mining
Initially, Bitcoin mining was done in warehouses and home basements, to create little “mining farms”, and then we saw an industrial-scale increment in build data center mining by investors, miners groups, cloud mining providers and device manufacturers.
During the past 12 months, the network total hash rate has grown exponentially, surpassing the 8 Exahashes per second. Despite increased hashing device efficiency the global power required for mining-devices has grown exponentially in the past year alone.
Cooling energy, the power required to keep mining devices and data centers cool, is estimated to account for an additional 30–50% on power consumption globally. It is this component of the overall electricity need that is the most variable and also the most addressable as different technologies can be implemented to reduce the cooling electricity overhead substantially.
Today, multi Megawatt complex structures and large engineering are no longer a good option. More professional and technical solutions are required.
Bitcoin mining is a race world and the continuous infrastructure changes, upgrades and maintenance, deployment and development, tends to overload and delays any working performance and optimization. To solve it, the growing number of staff to work 24/7 on a continuous basis. It’s not the “wash-rinse-repeat” experience that one would expect from the business of Bitcoin mining, where long down-time to setup a new cluster leads to higher opportunity costs.
The Bitcoin popularity can be expected that investments into Bitcoin mining will remain attractive for a long time, but the disruptive nature of bitcoin for many existing businesses and even monetary and strategy schemes make its valuation highly volatile within the forecast future until 2040 by Bitcoin model design.
Hardware manufacturing limits are pushing up by crypto mining technology innovation. Higher and unpredictable costs that vary with every data center operator, deployment, cooling, power distribution, infrastructure, connectivity and administration. Bitcoin mining hardware density has long exceeded common IT hardware and even supercomputer densities.
Renting and building out 10MW sites comes with a complete new set of implications more traditional investors will join the arms rush for the fastest and largest Bitcoin clusters. New investments from countries like China and Russia are adding to the pressure.
