Learn more about mining <a href=\"https:\/\/cymood.com\/web\/2021\/09\/28\/mining-staking-and-forging-for-noobs\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>With different protocols for creating coins, from the investor&#8217;s point of view we have another feature to be studied before making any purchase.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In fact, cryptocurrencies investors must analyze the blockchain protocol before investing in coins. Consensus algorithms can be the key to success with effects on inflation rates, security and the total value of the currency. Learn what is a Blockchain <a href=\"https:\/\/cymood.com\/web\/2021\/04\/22\/what-is-a-blockchain\/\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But what is a Blockchain protocol? <\/p>\n<p>A blockchain protocol is the common term for defining consensus methods.<\/p>\n<p>Consensus methods are different systems created to reach consensus and validate transactions in a blockchain network.<\/p>\n<p>Some require miners to hold coins, others require hardware to mine such as computers or graphics cards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We know there are 3 types of consent which are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proof of work, proof of stake and delegated proof of stake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s briefly see some details:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proof of work<\/strong>: from energy to value<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin and other coins use Proof of Work (PoW) as a consensus algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>In the PoW consensus type, miners participate in the network by adding large amounts of computing power.<\/p>\n<p>Big miners create physical mining rigs, consisting of several graphics cards in series, if not hundreds.<\/p>\n<p>More powerful platforms equate to more chances of closing the next block and receiving the next block&#8217;s reward coins.<\/p>\n<p>Blockchain Transactions also include transaction fees.<\/p>\n<p>So, in this case, the miner has to buy a large number of expensive graphics cards, spending a lot of money before earning a single bitcoin (or any other currency).<\/p>\n<p>Miners can create a mining pool to combine their computing power and add more chances of receiving rewards.<\/p>\n<p>In the proof of work economy Miners must spend thousands of dollars to build computer technology plants and pay high electricity bills to participate in networks of this type of blockchain otherwise, there would be no currency and no blockchain<\/p>\n<p>In theory, these costs should add great value to a PoW coin<\/p>\n<p>Miners don&#8217;t want to sell coins below their mining cost<\/p>\n<p><em>If you want to find out the minimum cost of a coin of this type, you need to look:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The cost for miners to mine new coins (rig + electricity)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The time to create a block and its reward<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Let&#8217;s take an example. If we have a PoW scheme with:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Quick block creation times<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>High reward<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Low total amount of money offered<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then the total supply will reach its maximum rapidly. As long as the demand for money is high, the currency should perform well. Otherwise you can see how the market reacts and wait until all the coins are created.<\/p>\n<p><em>In another PoW scheme we have:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Slow block creation times<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Low reward for blocks created<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>high total money supply<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this example, the inflation rate is low due to lower demand. The coin will be profitable as long as it is new and scarce on the market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proof-of-Stake<\/strong>: no more platforms and computers<\/p>\n<p>Proof of Stake or PoS does not require the purchase of mining rigs or the payment of huge electricity bills<\/p>\n<p>The POS is a very different consensus model that allows all coin holders to contribute to the network and block building<\/p>\n<p>You have to keep the coins in your wallet, activate staking and leave your computer on and you will receive rewards by acting as a miner<\/p>\n<p>In this way, the Pos is a great incentive to hold coins also because the more coins you have, the more you contribute to the network and the more you have the chance to solve the next block.<\/p>\n<p>So, in this case, miners have to spend a lot of money to buy coins to stake.<\/p>\n<p>This is much simpler and faster than the proof of work protocol<\/p>\n<p>The only available metrics are total supply, current supply, inflation rate, and current market price. So, you can analyze this market in a similar way to a fiat currency by measuring supply and demand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DPOS Delegate proof of Stake<\/strong> with reliable nodes<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a variation of the classic POS.<\/p>\n<p>In this protocol, all coin holders elect delegates.<\/p>\n<p>These delegates are the only ones authorized to verify and add new blocks to the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>In this case we can have a centralization of the first users with many coins. By the way, delegates need to be voted on by the community, so a good reputation and participation in the coin community is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Lisk as an example has a Dpos consensus scheme.<\/p>\n<p>As we said earlier for the consensus on the POS, if you want to be a miner you have to buy a lot of coins, but unlike the POS, in this case you have to trust the community. And you can&#8217;t buy or sell trust.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is no perfect system, but these 3 systems can solve the inherent control problems of a decentralized currency. It should also be noted that you have to consider the environmental problem of energy consumption among various factors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In previous articles we have seen that there are different types of coins and therefore there are different ways to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":1836,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,49,52,54,56,58,60],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Blockchain protocols: investors point of view | CYMood.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Blockchain protocols are key element to consider from an investor point of view.
