Bitcoin mining is a difficult work. When one considers the spread of economic resources to extract traditional goods such as gold, copper or oil, exploration of these resources in this field is always done in advance, to ensure that no capital is not invested in a mining project. But due to the nature of the Bitcoin Protocol, miners are unable to tolerate anything, because finding a purely statistical and random event. Due to the presence of only 144 pieces a day, there is no way to ensure a bonus of the work of the mining factor in a timely manner without a large contrast, unless the mining factor has a large number of retail rate. Miners need about 1.2 % of the total retail (about 10 Exhashes per second at the time of writing this report) to ensure fixed batches and reduce the variation of their revenues significantly. Capex required to achieve such a retail amount is to arrange hundreds of millions of dollars. Unless a giant institution mine worker has a huge herd of ASIC, he will face a problem in his hands.
Princess mining has been created to address and solve this problem. Let's take one mine worker, with a small but large mining process. Of the 52560 Summites, it is expected to find one, because it has 1/52560 of all the network segmentation. In other words, he is expected to find one block every 12 months. But his electricity bill comes due every 4 weeks, and if he is waiting for a whole year, he pays bills before obtaining some revenues across the door, it will go bankrupt. Given this contradiction between its continuous costs and its revenues, the idea comes to his mind. Start to find 499 other people with a similar process, forcing a deal. Instead of mining everyone alone, the mining factor suggests to others that they are all collectively as if they were part of the same entity, and they divide mining bonuses according to the work of each mine worker every time a person finds a mass. If each worker has a 1/52560 mine of all network fragmentation, 500 miners are expected to find a community almost twice a week. Through the mining approach in the pool, each mine worker guarantees that all the effort and hard work they have done repeatedly. In this way, everyone gets their bills every month, and by the end of the year, they were all able to avoid bankruptcy. However, there are still sources of contrast within these same payments.
Princess mining is confirmed to obtain mining salaries often compared to individual mining. However, it does not guarantee predictable batches based on the retail power of each mine worker. This problem is usually known as the risk of group luck. Let's go back to the previous example. 500 mines with 1/52560 of the total network fragmentation is expected to find 500 pieces per year. However, they may find 480., 497. Or 520. There is no guarantee that the pool will stipulate 500 pieces per year. The chance of the assembly is calculated by dividing the number of blocks in the number of blocks that were expected to be found based on the total assembly pools. If the billiard group is 480 blocks when it was expected to reach 500, then the pool is 95 %. Billiards have great fluctuations in profits over short periods. However, luck tends to come out over time, and payments will eventually be in line with the expected distribution based on the group fragmentation rate. Two additional workers contribute to the total contrast to the bonuses of the payment of miners, where the first factor is more important than a second. The first is transaction fees. This tends to vary greatly as it has seen in the past few years. The transactions fees from the blocks that were extracted immediately after the last half of the half of more than 50 % of the total mass bonus for the first time in the history of Bitcoin. As of the date of writing this article, (Bloc 883208), there were many boredom blocs last week, as Mimpol was wiped for several occasions during these past days. A completely leap in such a short time. The second factor is related to the contrast of time between the blocs in the network. When the block after another is found, there is less time for transactions to accumulate in Mempool, which leads to a decrease in transactions fees in that mass. On the contrary, if it is more extended between the blocks, more transactions will be broadcast, which increases the transactions fees in this process.
Painful uncertainty. Especially when there is a large capital in danger. Consequently, most miners find valuable in obtaining more predictive and volatile batches to recover the large amount of the capital. This is where the payment scheme plays for full payment of swimming. FPPS works as a traditional insurance product. Transferring pure risks. Regardless of the number of blocs that miners in the group find collectively and what are the treatment fees paid for them, miners are salaries by the assembly based on the expected value of their retail power. A gathering assumes all this risks. The FPPS provides to workers through any other method. Consequently, no one should be surprised when he learned that FPPS is the standard to a large time when it comes to payments, although it is not without a large cost.
FPPS is not a free lunch. To bear any bad luck period and all the risks associated with the FPPS Payment scheme, gatherings need to get large pockets of fat. These capital requirements are high cost of money. And gatherings are not charitable organizations. These high costs ended by miners through the higher assembly fees. As we mentioned earlier, miners need a position in mind the fact that the FPPS payment system works as an insurance collar. Insurance policies depend on the opposite parties. Sometimes, the opposite parties fail to honor their obligations when they are needed, as witnessed again in the 2008 global financial crisis. The mines must trust that the complex will fulfill the obligations of the insurance contract. Certainly, if the pool is very large in size, then this danger is really very small. Groups can also develop ways to empty this danger of their operations. But does Bitcoin not spin confidence and the risks of the party's counter -party if possible? Bitcoin ethics appears to have not yet reached the side of the pool mining of the protocol.
Moreover, any of the miners who receive FPPS bonuses for their work must necessarily lose any revenues related to transactions nails. The FPPS Payment Forms sets MINER by analyzing the transaction fees from the previous N Blocs and “expected value” calculation of transactions. The complex then uses this account to determine the amount of miners to pay the transaction fee part of their shares. As a result, when the transaction fees rise, the payment is made according to what happened in the past, as there are no transaction fees at all. There is no need for a doctorate in mathematics to understand that all these rewards end in the pockets of the pool instead of miners in this scenario. Moreover, even if there is a modern height in transactions, gatherings cannot put this in payment accounts. The possibility of no such height is hardly minimal. In other words, the gatherings do not have any guarantee that the high fees are consistent and frequent in the future. Therefore, they cannot include them in mining workers' payments without risking bankruptcy.
FPPS
Take a closer look at how to build a FPPS payment scheme, we can easily see that it looks like modern pension systems for many governments, not sustainable by design. FPPS as it is today, it will collapse under its weight soon. Over time, transaction fees will be a greater percentage of the total payment for workers. This dynamic, along with its inherent fluctuation, will lead to a significant increase in the total payment contrast, thus increasing the costs of securing FPPS to the end. In other words, as a Coinbase's bonus continues to half, the remedies in the mass will increase significantly. If the contrast increases, the risks associated with providing this insurance product for workers. Thus, it will also have to increase insurance premiums as well. This means that FFPS will risk more risks when compromising fixed payment to miners. With more risks, capital costs come higher. It should still be seen to the extent that the assembly will have to rise to continue providing FPPS insurance products. Eclipse insurance can determine the exact amount. One thing we definitely know. It will not be cheap, because it's not really.
Fees will make a much higher collection for the stable payments provided by the FPPS method of rewarding the PPLNS method more attractive to any of the miners looking to increase their profit to the maximum, as the previously described dynamic for the variable composition of the block is run. Under this scheme, miners are pushed once a mass is found by the complex. Upon finding a block, the complex evaluates the number of valid shares that each worker has contributed during a period consisting of the last block N blocks that the complex found and distributing payments accordingly. This time window is referred to as a PPLNS window. The biggest setback with this payment method is, of course, the risks associated with the gathering of the assembly are less than 100 % and the risks that may be periods when the complex does not find any block and as a result, miners do not get their salaries. However, a gathering with only 1 % of the retail rate has a chance of 0.0042 % only to not find a block within a week, while the chances of the pool luck are less than 90 % per year about 1.09 %.
Will there be a market for FPPS gathering services at a high enough price that compensates the complex for all the variations associated with the total bonus bonuses? Nobody can definitely know. One thing we know. Blessing fees should be enormous. The revenues that miners will have to lose to be very large so that they do not deserve all this effort to get rid of the risks associated with not being constantly paying in time. While other most mature players enter the Bitcoin mining industry, such as energy companies, one should expect other risk management tools easily available in the market for miners to hedge all kinds of risk. The new innovative payment charts of the gathering will appear because these tools become more available to everyone.
The revenues and profitability of miners will be greatly affected by the dynamics shown in this article. Alternative payment charts and hedge strategies will be needed for any mine worker looking to increase their operation profitability to the maximum. The FPPS payment method may still be useful for the dove from today. But as previously explained, the FPPS will soon be buried in the history of Bitcoin.
