I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 89 Digging and digging in the small garden

After Fang Qingye got up this morning, he received a message from a girl from Dongguan on QQ saying that the mining software had been debugged, named BTMiner, and sent to him in a compressed package.

"Husband, do I need to upload the software to the website and make it public?" The Dongguan girl asked in the final message.

"Sure." Fang Qingye replied.

Any virtual currency must be played by many people. If you play it alone behind closed doors, its value is zero.

"OK!" The Dongguan girl's message came back immediately.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Fang Qingye asked with concern.

"I'm debugging my laptop. I want to mine, too. I want to mine my first Bitcoin, hehe."

"I wish you success." Fang Qingye replied, downloaded the compressed package and started installing it.

The program is very simple and an icon will be generated on the desktop very quickly.

It’s quite vivid.

A hoe and a mountain.

After everything is installed, you still need to register and then start the program.

Fang Qingye was a little excited.

Actually, you can just debug the computer and let it run automatically, as long as the laptop has power and the network is working. But Fang Qingye wanted to see if the BTMiner program could really mine Bitcoin as the Dongguan girl said.

After entering the interface and clicking Run, the system starts running automatically.

Fang Qingye decided to have breakfast first and then go back to the room to observe. At this moment, his mobile phone QQ suddenly rang, and the Dongguan girl's sailor suit avatar started jumping again.

"Husband, I mined the first Bitcoin block and got a mining reward—50 Bitcoins! Spread the flowers."

"Congratulations." Fang Qingye immediately typed back: "How long have you been digging?"

"About ten minutes."

Mine 10 Bitcoins in 50 minutes?

My dear.
But it is understandable that Bitcoin is now like a naked gold mine. You can dig up gold by just digging with a hoe.

As more and more miners join the team and the gold becomes less and less, more and more time and energy will be required.

The girl from Dongguan is still excited.

"My husband, I want to give this block a commemorative name."

Seeing the line of words sent by the other party, Fang Qingye replied with a smile.

“Then let’s call it the Genesis Block, right?”

“Yeah, I also want to add this: On October 31, 2008, the invincible beauty of the universe dug out her first Bitcoin here, Ouye!”

what?
"On October 2008, 10, the most beautiful girl in the universe mined the first Bitcoin here. Yay!"

Fang Qingye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this somewhat childish remark.

"Okay, let's stop chatting. I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy. Bye, husband." The Dongguan girl typed over and sent a yawning emoji.

"Why, you don't want to dig anymore?"

"Just play for a bit, then dig hard and burn your little universe, Pikachu!"

Before Fang Qingye could reply, the other person's profile picture had turned gray.

It seems that I am really sleepy.

Fang Qingye hurriedly went to the restaurant to finish breakfast, then quickly returned to his room and found that he had also mined a block and obtained 50 bitcoins.

He checked the time, about 12 minutes, and immediately took out a notebook to write it down. An exciting yet boring day had begun.

The notebook was mining. When a block was mined, Fang Qingye immediately recorded the time required, which took up several pages.

他发现，理论上10分钟可以生成一个区块，获得奖励50个比特币，一台机子一天有24小时，每小时产生6个区块所以一天能够挖到的比特币数量为50个比特币/区块* 6个区块/小时* 24小时= 7200个比特币！

But it was impossible. Fang Qingye started mining at 24:7 in the morning and worked on his laptop for a total of 1200 hours. By : the next morning, he had only mined bitcoins.

It is mainly affected by the CPU speed of the laptop and the network speed, and may be lower.

But it’s pretty good!
Consider the price of Bitcoin in eleven years.
Okay, let’s go to class!

Fang Qingye didn't remove the room card, letting the laptop continue working, and then went out and drove to the training class.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Fang Qingye found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

I'm not late, am I?
The teacher hasn't arrived yet.

Fang Qingye looked at the empty podium.

It doesn't matter.
Fang Qingye walked to his seat in the back row as if no one was around. As soon as he sat down, he heard Cheng Zhenzhen say, "Of course, Fang Qingye, you're going to make a big splash."

"What do you mean?"

"Minister Jia praised your paper publicly yesterday, saying that the ideas you put forward are very fresh and have practical significance! He also said that you are a rare talent."

"Really? I've taken leave, so I don't know."

"Oh, really, yesterday was your highlight moment, why did you ask for leave? Did you go to see your girlfriend?" Cheng Zhenzhen began to use her rich imagination again.

"Yeah." Fang Qingye held back his laughter and answered seriously.

Cheng Zhenzhen said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Well, this senior sister is good in this respect. Unlike Xia He, she likes to ask about gossips like dating and blind dates.

At lunchtime, Fang Qingye hurriedly drove back to his hotel after finishing his meal. He mainly wanted to see if his laptop was still working properly.

Fortunately everything is OK.

The back of the computer is getting a little hot.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Fang Qingye drove back to the training school in a hurry. A few minutes before class started, he saw several people gathered in the classroom. Ma Xudong was sitting in the middle, talking in front of the computer.

"Someone, under a pseudonym, published an article on a US P2P Foundation website titled 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.' It's incredibly groundbreaking! A link to the article was shared in one of my groups. I've downloaded it and put it in the group space. You can take a look."

Ma Xudong pointed to the full English text and said.

"Ma Xudong, English is so difficult to understand, why don't you just translate it into Chinese?" said a student named Zheng Yi.

"Yes, but first tell us what it means." Zhang Wenqing was a little curious.

"Okay, the author is called DHDK, which is obviously a pseudonym. I call him the Great God. In his article, he conceived a network virtual currency called Bitcoin, which has the characteristics of decentralization, anonymity, and security."

Ma Xudong's eloquent speech immediately attracted a group of people. Even Cheng Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the back, walked over to listen carefully.

Fang Qingye walked around the crowd and sat quietly in his seat.

"Hey, you're talking about Bitcoin. I remember Minister Jia mentioned the concept of online virtual currency when he was explaining Fang Qingye's paper yesterday!" Zhang Wenqing suddenly said.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Yeah, I initially thought he was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect someone online had actually started researching it!"

Some people started to talk, but more people looked at Fang Qingye who was sitting in the back.
