Filecoin's second test has been restarted, and a new standard has been introduced in the computing power ranking!

On June 19, 2020, the Filecoin Phase II testnet was restarted. As the last competition before the start of the Global Miner Competition, the level of attention attracted by this restart is definitely no less than that of the second test.

Since everyone has been paying more attention to the Filecoin project recently, the editor feels it is necessary to help everyone analyze some inside information about the ranking list after the restart of the test network.

Hash power ranking

For many investors, the first thing they pay attention to is definitely the ranking.

Again, it is indeed very one-sided to simply and crudely judge a manufacturer's strength by ranking, because you never know the specific machine equipment models, quantities and technical optimization solutions used by the manufacturer behind the ranking.

However, although the ranking cannot directly prove strength, it can indirectly explain some problems.

In this restart, the top-ranked nodes have changed very little compared to the nodes in the second test. The top ten nodes are Spacetime Cloud Alliance, Xianhe System, 1475 Tianru, Manniu, Cloud Storage, Star Alliance, and Pomegranate. This also shows that big manufacturers are still big manufacturers and their performance is still very stable. It is also a reliable option chosen by most customers.

Coin production per T

According to the editor's understanding of the current situation in the circle, as the last test before the mining competition, everyone has gradually begun to focus on the amount of currency produced as another key indicator. After all, when the mining competition starts or the main network is launched, the actual productivity is what investors need to pay most attention to. After all, a vase is beautiful, but a practical and valuable vase is more fascinating.

Here we need to distinguish between the two concepts of total coin production and unit coin production.

Total coin production: The total coin production refers to the total amount of coins produced by a miner. No matter how many machines the miner uses, or whether it is a single machine or a cluster, as long as the data runs under one node, it is counted as the total coin production.

Unit coin production: Unit coin production refers to the FIL produced per T, which is the total coin production divided by the total computing power.

In my opinion, what is more important and concerning to investors is the unit coin production, that is, the effective coin production per ton. A high total coin production does not necessarily mean a high effective coin production per ton. After all, what you eat is grass, and what you squeeze out is milk. As an investor, you certainly don’t want to eat a lot and produce very little. You would rather eat the same amount of grass and produce as much milk as possible, right?

In fact, we can easily calculate the unit coin production of each node on the leaderboard. The calculation method is also very simple, that is, total coin production/total computing power = single T effective coin production. The editor has calculated it for you, the details are as follows:

The data of effective coin production per T compiled by the editor

From this chart, we can see that there is still a gap in the amount of coins produced by each company, and investors can consider it on their own. In addition, the editor also reminds that investment is risky and you need to be cautious when entering the circle (rich people please feel free to do so). The right choice will bring better returns.
