1 is a diagram illustrating the overall configuration of a mining management system according to an embodiment.

According to an embodiment, the mining management system may provide an environment in which a plurality of mining nodes may perform mining on virtual currency together. The mining management system may provide the mining node with information about the virtual currency and the full server on a predetermined basis. Here, the predetermined criterion may mean profitability. Through this, the mining management system can achieve higher profitability.

Blockchain is a core technology for implementing virtual currency, and it is a technology that enables transactions without third party guarantees based on a consensus structure. For example, virtual currency includes all kinds of electronic money with blockchain technologies such as bitcoin, litecoin, and ethereum. Virtual currency may be referred to as digital currency, coin or cryptocurrency.

The block chain has a structure in which blocks are connected. Each block contains a history of transactions performed over a period of time. The blockchain is formed by mining nodes 111 and 113 participating in the blockchain network. Each mining node (111, 113) has a copy of the blockchain containing the transaction details. Transactions with a majority of the blockchain network's consent are recorded in the newly created block. The newly created block is connected to the already created block chain.

The propagation of transaction information of virtual currency with blockchain is promised by the protocol, and when a transaction information of virtual currency with blockchain occurs, one mining node propagates to the next X nodes designated. The blockchain necessary to carry out a virtual currency transaction with a blockchain is loaded through pyramidal propagation that repeatedly propagates to the next X nodes designated for each of the X nodes that have received the transaction information of the virtual currency having the blockchain. This is done by propagating to all blockchain holding nodes that have been made.

By repeating this process, it can be confirmed that the original transaction is true. Mining must be performed to create the block. Mining, like the central banks of traditional currencies, is responsible for the supply of currency and the guarantee of transactions. Mining guarantees the authenticity of consensus by requiring a certain effort. Proof of Work, a kind of mining method, refers to a problem solving task, which can be performed by putting a certain amount of computational power. Since the required task is to obtain a hash value using a hash function, the computing power can be referred to as a hash rate.

The mining nodes 111 and 113 are provided with compensation corresponding to the hash rates provided by the mining nodes 111 and 113. When the mining nodes 111 and 113 that perform mining solve the hash value of the specific block, the transaction record is recorded in the block and a new block is generated. The mining nodes 111 and 113 receive a certain amount of virtual currency as a reward for solving the hash value.

According to an embodiment, the mining management system may include a management server 120, one or more pull servers 131 and 133, and one or more mining nodes 111 and 113. The pull servers 131 and 133 may be connected to one or more blockchains 140. Each block chain 140 may correspond to a different virtual currency. Each of the pull servers 131 and 133 may be connected to one or more blockchains 140. For example, full server 1 131 may be connected to block chain 1 and block chain 2, and full server N 133 may be connected to block chain 2 and block chain M.

The full servers 131 and 133 may provide the mining nodes 111 and 113 with an environment in which a specific coin may be mined together. The pool may be referred to as a mining pool. The pool servers 131 and 133 provide an environment in which a plurality of mining nodes 111 and 113 are connected in parallel on a network to perform mining together. If mining nodes 111 and 113 each individually perform mining, no compensation is provided. However, the full servers 131 and 133 use a large hash rate to increase the probability of success. By distributing the reward to the mining nodes 111 and 113 participating in the mining, it is possible to provide a more stable mining environment.

The mining nodes 111 and 113 may access one or more blockchains based on the information received from the management server 120. For example, the management server 120 may provide information about the virtual currency corresponding to the full server 1 131 and the block chain 1 so that the mining node 1 111 connects to the block chain 1 through the full server 1 131. The data may be transmitted to the mining node 1 111.

The full servers 131 and 133 may transact the reward to the electronic wallet address provided by the mining nodes 111 and 113 based on the hash rates provided by the mining nodes 111 and 113. The electronic wallet address may include the electronic wallet address of the management server 120.

Here, the transaction does not mean that the virtual currency is physically transferred, but it means that the ownership transfer information of the coin is recorded in the block of the newly created block chain, such as the ownership transfer registration of the real estate. The block acts like a public ledger. Coin's transaction records are included in the block in encrypted form. A transaction may be referred to as a transfer.

The management server 120 may distribute a reward to each of the mining nodes 111 and 113 based on hash rates provided by the mining nodes 111 and 113. The management server 120 may retain the reward until the mining nodes 111 and 113 request it, or may transact the reward to the electronic wallet addresses of the mining nodes 111 and 113.

This is for the pull server 205 to distribute the reward to the management server 203.

In operation 217, the mining node 201 may mine the virtual currency in the full server 205 based on the virtual currency information received from the management server 203. The mining node 201 may obtain a hash value by using a hash function corresponding to an algorithm applied to virtual currency. Although there are various types of virtual currency, there are about 5 encryption methods applied to virtual currency, including SHA 256 and Scrypt. Mining software is disclosed that allows a mining node to mine a virtual currency based on an encryption technique corresponding to each virtual currency. The mining node 201 may mine the virtual currency using mining software.

In step 219, the mining node 201 may transmit mining resource information to the management server 203. Through this, the full server 205 may distribute a reward to the management server 203 in response to the effort of the mining node 201. In step 221, the mining node 201 may send mining resource information to the pull server 205. Through this, the management server 203 may distribute a reward to the mining node 201 in response to the effort of the mining node 201. The mining resource information may include information about a computational capability that the mining node 201 inputs for mining. For example, the mining resource information may include an operation time of the mining node 201.

The pool server 205 may distribute a reward to the management server 203 based on the mining resource information. Even if the mining node 201 does not obtain a hash value, the management server 203 may receive a reward as a reward for the computational power input by the mining node 201 according to the policy of the full server 205. The pull server 205 may transact the virtual currency corresponding to the mining resource information with the electronic wallet address of the management server 203.

In step 223, the full server 205 may transmit the transacted virtual currency information to the management server 203. The transacted virtual currency information may include the amount of virtual currency transferred. The management server 203 may store the amount of the virtual money sent.

In step 225, the management server 203 may allocate contributions to the mining node 201. The management server 203 may allocate contributions to the mining node 201 based on the transactional virtual currency information and the mining resource information of the mining node 201. The management server 203 may distribute the reward to the mining node 201 based on the calculation time of the mining node 201 among the amount of the virtual currency remitted as the reward.
