挖矿#
Mining in the context of cryptocurrency such as Dash refers to the process of searching for solutions to cryptographically difficult problems as a method of securing blocks on the blockchain. The process of mining creates new currency tokens as a reward to the miner. Mining is possible on a range of hardware. Dash implements an algorithm known as X11, which the miner must solve in order to earn rewards. A number of X11 ASICs are available on the market, which help make Dash secure against brute force attacks on the blockchain.
挖矿活动的盈利性取决于矿工采用的挖矿设备的算力、网络当前的算法难度、硬件设备产生的支出和电费。如需了解更多信息，请浏览以下链接：
主节点 vs. 挖矿#
和比特币及其它加密数字货币一样，达世币以包含所有交易的分布式帐本为基础，这些帐本也称区块链。达世币和比特币区块链由于共识机制的存在得到了保障，这种共识机制被称作工作量证明（PoW）。矿工通过专用的设备来解决难题，在难题解决后，他们有权向区块链添加新的区块。如果运行软件的其他用户认为难题已经得到了恰当的解决，那么新的区块将会被添加到区块链上，而矿工也将得到区块奖励。
Dash works a little differently from Bitcoin, however, because it has a two-tier network. The second tier is powered by masternodes (Full Nodes), which enable financial privacy (CoinJoin), instant transactions (InstantSend), and the decentralized governance and budget system. Because this second tier is so important, masternodes are also rewarded when miners discover new blocks. The breakdown is as follows: 80% of the block subsidy is split between the miner and a masternode per the distribution found here, while 20% is reserved for the budget system (created by superblocks every month).
主节点系统也称服务量证明（PoSe），因为主节点的实质正是为网络提供关键的服务。事实上，整个达世币网络都由主节点监督，它们有权驳回由矿工创建的不合格的区块。如果矿工尝试占有全部的区块奖励或运行旧版的达世币软件，那么主节点网络就会孤立该区块，使它无法添加到区块链上。
简而言之，矿工组成了网络的第一层级，为用户提供资金的发送和接收服务并防止双花支付的发生。主节点则构成了网络的第二层级，为达世币与众不同的性能提供支持。主节点不参与挖矿活动，因此挖矿的设备并不能充当主节点。要想持有主节点，用户必须持有1000达世币作为”保证金”。这笔保证金始终由持有人全权掌控，并且可以被持有人自由支配。换言之，保证金不会以任何方式予以锁定。不过，一旦保证金被转移或支付，对应的主节点将会下线并停止接收区块链奖励。
矿池#
Mining Dash in pools is more likely to generate rewards than solo mining directly on the blockchain. Mining dash using P2Pool is strongly encouraged, since it is a good way to distribute, rather than centralize, the hashing power.
If you would like to set up your own P2Pool, documentation of the process is available here and the code for p2pool-dash is available on GitHub. Other mining pools are listed below and may be advantageous for different reasons such as ping latency, uptime, fee, users, etc. A guide to using a typical mining pool can be found here.

除了加入矿池之外，用户还需要创建达世币地址以便接收资金。如需浏览在Dash Core钱包内的操作，请点击此处。
ASIC挖矿#
ASIC是专用集成电路的缩写，指的是专为某一目的而设计的处理器。专用集成电路是加密数字货币挖矿的热门工具，因为它们的效率高于CPU或GPU并因此能为用户带来更高的利润。
