Many Taiwanese people have heard bitcoin, but in fact there is another kind of virtual token "Ether," and in Taiwan there are even a group of people who specialize in acquiring the pool of video cards on the Internet. Reporters Find a nano-level miners Mike, come forward to show how the card mining, but also how to increase passive income.
Xiao Li pointed out that in 2016, he began to pay attention to bitcoin, but at that time, Taiwan did not have much information about it, so he was relying on GOOGLE to translate the data to foreign websites for searching information. At that time, the price of one bitcoin was still Between $ 500 and $ 600, NT $ 16,000 up and down, but then still think virtual tokens are not too late to buy insurance.
In the investigation of information when inadvertently found another kind of virtual token ether (ETH), then the price of ether is still $ 10 to $ 20, so he not only pay attention to bitcoin but also slowly in the investigation of the ether Currency information, until March 2017, the price of the etheric coin suddenly rose several times, he began to check how to mine.
Xiao Li crawl slowly from foreign websites, I realized that the original bitcoin can also mine, but need to use a professional mining machine to dig, but the price of a mining machine to 7 to 10 million, due to the threshold is too high , He moved his head to the etheric head.
From the information on the network found that the ether was mining card with a video card, so Mike in May 2017 long time to spend about 4 million set of 4 AMD RX580 graphics card machine excavation, that When the price of ether has reached more than 200 dollars, and he can dig every 2 days 0.1ETH, 1 month down conversion can be about more than 9,000 yuan of passive income, 2 months down electricity costs about 2,000 yuan, 1 month net Earn 8000 yuan.

About dug for six months, Xiao Li has dug to five etheric coins, more than 40,000 yuan of mining machine has been back to the capital, so he will mine more than 40,000 yuan sold, five ether has been left until 2018 It was sold for a long time in January. When sold, the price of ether was about 1400 U.S. dollars (about NT $ 42,000), so Xiao Li made more than 200,000 yuan only by dug for six months.
However, Mike mentioned that the difficulty of mining ether ether will gradually increase with the number of miners, if now only admission, then back to the time may be extended to 1 year, and even heard that soon after the ether digging The way mines will change as well as the need for an exclusive miner to dig as bitcoin does.
