Filecoin confirmed that the next development version USES single/multiple GPU mining, and CPU mining is abandoned

According to the information released by the official Slack of Filecoin, the next development and test network of Filecoin will require single GPU or multiple GPU mining. Currently, the Filecoin team is testing the mining performance of video CARDS such as Nvidia 2080ti. It is understood that previously popular CPU mining machine will not be able to participate in Filecoin mining, and ethereum graphics card mining machine will have the opportunity to participate in mining.

According to the official, Nvidia 1080ti graphics card has been confirmed to participate in Filecoin mining. But that doesn't mean Filecoin will become a mine currency for the graphics card, which is configured to run campaign nodes. According to the official source, the reason for using the graphics card is that it requires a large number of post-snark calculations in a block time, and the current optimal solution for Snark computing is GPU rather than CPU.

Filecoin administrator Why said that the latest AMD thread ripper processor may be as good as the GPU in terms of performance, but it needs to be tested. "it takes a lot longer to dig out a block than a block with a normal CPU," he said.

Regarding the fact that many people don't understand how Filecoin mines from cpus to gpus, administrators say they've been discussing it on slack for months, which may have something to do with the whole machine that all the miners bought before. It is understood that all the CPU configuration hardware on the market cannot participate in the new Filecoin mining.

Although Filecoin has not officially released specific graphics card parameters, feedback from current test CARDS and other developers suggests that the graphics mining machines used to mine ethereum may also be available for Filecoin mining. It is understood that the development team is testing the performance of the graphics card to determine the specific mining configuration, the test process will take about a week.

Silver block rhythm BlockBeats reminded, according to the circ and other five departments issued in August 2018 on the guard against in the name of the "virtual currency" "block chain" illegal fund-raising risk warning "file, please the public rationality block chain, don't blindly believe in reduction commitment, set up correct concept of money and investment philosophy, effectively raise the risk consciousness; To the illegal crime clue that discovers, can report to concerned branch actively reflect.
