**Bitcoin is a virtual currency developed by someone in the year 2010. As the name implies, namely virtual or digital currency, then the bitcoin used for the purposes of internet such as online shopping, payment via online, to play games. One thing that makes the bitcoin so popular is exchange value continues to grow. No wonder so many people choose bitcoin as inverstasi them.**

**In order for the amount of the bitcoin continues to grow, then we can do a bitcoin mining. Mine the computer, the application requires a bitcoin miner, and an internet connection.**

**Process mining bitcoin will take time that is not computer ability should briefly and also nice and fast. The faster the computers that we use, then the sooner the bitcoin also will be obtained. If you want to mine the bitcoin, then we need a mining device, such as a CPU, GPU, FPGA or ASIC.**

**Bitcoin mining with the CPU is considered first generation to mining device bitcoin. If we mine the CPU then it will likely need a few thousand years to be able to find a valid block, so the mine with the CPU proved quite difficult.**

**Bitcoin mining with GPUS is considered a second generation. GPU graphics card is used in all types of computers today. The GPU can produce very high so that parallelism is quite effective for mining bitcoin. The GPU is considered to have the number of cores that able to do more so that the encryption process is better than on the CPU**

**FPGA is a Digital IC which is used to implement a wide range of digital circuits. On the FPGA chip, we can customize and rearrange its configuration, so that performance is rated good. FPGA is able to reach up to GH/s or about 1 billion hash per second. However, if the miner has hundreds of boards that each is 1GH/s then chances are 50 years need to be able to find blocks bitcoin.**
