1. 108 essential knowledge points for getting started with blockchain

108 essential knowledge points for getting started with blockchain

(Fellowers are welcome to communicate)

1. What is blockchain

Packing together the information of multiple transactions and the information indicating the block, after verification This package is the block.

Each block stores the hash value of the previous block, creating a relationship between blocks, that is to say, a chain. Together they are called blockchain.

2. What is Bitcoin

The concept of Bitcoin was proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, with a total number of 21 million. The Bitcoin chain generates a block approximately every 10 minutes, and this block is mined by miners for 10 minutes. As a reward to miners, a certain number of Bitcoins will be issued to miners, but this certain number is halved every four years. Now it's 12.5. If this continues, all Bitcoins will be available in 2040.

3. What is Ethereum

The biggest difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin is the smart contract. This allows developers to develop and run various applications on it.

4. Distributed ledger

It is a database that is shared, replicated and synchronized among network members. To put it bluntly, all users on the blockchain have accounting functions and the content is consistent, which ensures that the data cannot be tampered with.

5. What is quasi-anonymity?

I believe everyone has a wallet, and the wallet address (a string of characters) used to send transactions is quasi-anonymity.

6. What is open transparency/traceability

The blockchain stores all data from history to the present, anyone can view it, and can also view any data in history.

7. What is tamper-proof

Historical data and current transaction data cannot be tampered with. The data is stored in the block on the chain and has a hash value. If the block information is modified, its hash value will also change, and the hash values of all blocks following it must also be modified to form a new chain. At the same time, the main chain is still conducting transactions to generate blocks. The modified chain must always generate blocks synchronously with the main chain to ensure that the length of the chain is the same. The cost is too high, just to modify a piece of data.

8. What is anti-DDoS attack

DDoS: Hackers control many people’s computers or mobile phones and allow them to access a website at the same time. Since the bandwidth of the server is limited, a large amount of traffic The influx canThis may cause the website to fail to function properly, resulting in losses. However, the blockchain is distributed and there is no central server. If one node fails, other nodes will not be affected. Theoretically, if more than 51% of the nodes are attacked, problems will occur.

9. Definition of main chain

Taking Bitcoin as an example, at a certain point in time, a block is mined by two miners at the same time, and then 6 blocks are generated first. The chain of blocks is the main chain

10. Single chain/multi-chain

Single chain refers to the data structure that handles everything on one chain. The core essence of the multi-chain structure is composed of public chain + N sub-chains. There is only one, but in theory there can be countless sub-chains, and each sub-chain can run one or more DAPP systems

11. Public chain/alliance chain/private chain

Public Chain: Everyone can participate in the blockchain

Alliance chain: Only alliance members are allowed to participate in accounting and query

Private chain: Writing and viewing permissions are only controlled by one person In the hands of the organization.

12. Consensus layer, data layer, etc.

There are six overall structures of the blockchain: data layer, network layer, consensus layer, incentive layer, contract layer, and application layer. Data layer: a layer that records data, belonging to the underlying technology; network layer: a structure for building a blockchain network, which determines how users are organized. Consensus layer: Provides a set of rules to allow everyone to reach agreement on the information received and stored. Incentive layer: Design incentive policies to encourage users to participate in the blockchain ecosystem; Contract layer: Generally refers to "smart contracts", which are a set of contract systems that can be automatically executed and written according to their own needs. Application layer: Applications on the blockchain, similar to mobile apps. Former Distributed Storage R&D Center

13. Timestamp

The timestamp refers to January 1, 1970 Day 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds 0... The total number of seconds from the current time to now, or the total number of nanoseconds and other very large numbers. Each block is generated with a timestamp indicating when the block was generated.

14. Block/block header/block body

Block is the basic unit of blockchain, and block header and block body are components of blockchain. The information contained in the block header includes the hash of the previous block, the hash of this block, timestamp, etc. The block body is the detailed data in the block.

15. Merkle tree

Merkle tree, also called binary tree, is a data structure for storing data. The bottom layer is the original data contained in all blocks, and the upper layer is each The hash value of a block. The hash value of this layer is combined in pairs to generate a new hash value, forming a new one.layer, and then layer by layer, until a hash value is generated. Such a structure can be used to quickly compare large amounts of data, and you can quickly find the bottom-level historical data you want without downloading all the data.

16. What is expansion?

The size of a Bitcoin block is about 1M and can save 4,000 transaction records. Expansion means making the block larger so that more data can be stored.

17. What is a chain?

Each block will save the hash of the previous block, creating a relationship between the blocks. This relationship is a chain. Data such as block transaction records and status changes are stored through this chain.

18. Block height

This is not the height mentioned in terms of distance. It refers to the total number of blocks between the block and the first block on the chain. This height indicates which block it is, and is just for identification purposes.

19. Fork

Two blocks were generated at the same time (the transaction information in the block is the same, but the hash value of the block is different), and then in Two chains are forked from these two blocks. Whoever generates 6 blocks from these two links first will be the main chain, and the other chain will be discarded.

20. Ghost Protocol

Mining pools with high computing power can easily generate blocks faster than mining machines with low computing power, resulting in most of the blocks on the blockchain being generated by these mining pools with high computing power. However, the blocks generated by mining machines with low computing power are not stored on the chain because they are slow, and these blocks will be invalid.

The ghost protocol allows blocks that should be invalidated to remain on the chain for a short time, and can also be used as part of the proof of work

. In this way, miners with small computing power will contribute more to the main chain, and large mining pools will not be able to monopolize the confirmation of new blocks.

21. Orphan block

As mentioned before, orphan blocks are blocks generated at the same time. One of them forms a chain, and the other does not form a chain. Then this block that does not form a chain is called an orphan block.

22. Uncle block

The orphan block mentioned above, through the ghost protocol, makes it part of the proof of work, then it will not be discarded and will be saved in the main chain superior. This block is the next

23 replay attack

The hacker resends the message that has been sent to the server. Sometimes this can deceive the server into responding multiple times.

24. Directed acyclic graph

Also called data set DAG (directed acyclic graph), DAG is an ideal multi-chain data structure. Most of the blockchains mentioned now are single chains, that is, one block is connected to another block, and DAG is multiple blocks connected. The advantage is that several blocks can be generated at the same time, so the network can process a large number of transactions at the same time, and the throughput will definitely increase. However, there are many shortcomings and it is currently in the research stage.

25. What is mining

The mining process is to perform a series of conversions, connections and hash operations on the above six fields, and continue to try them one by one. The random number you are looking for, and finally successfully find a random number that meets the conditions: the value after hashing is smaller than the hash value of the preset difficulty value, then the mining is successful, and the node can broadcast the area to neighboring nodes. block, neighboring nodes receive the block and perform the same operation on the above six fields to verify compliance, and then forward it to other nodes. Other nodes also use the same algorithm to verify. If there are 51% of nodes in the entire network If all verifications are successful, even if this block is truly "mined" successfully, each node will add this block to the end of the previous block, delete the list in the block that is the same as its own record, and resurrect again. the above process. Another thing to mention is that regardless of whether the mining is successful or not, each node will pre-record the reward of 50 Bitcoins and the handling fees of all transactions (total input-total output) in the first item of the transaction list (this is " The most fundamental purpose of "mining" is also the fundamental reason to ensure the long-term stable operation of the blockchain), the output address is the address of this node, but if the mining is unsuccessful, the transaction will be invalidated without any reward. Moreover, this transaction called "production transaction" does not participate in the "mining" calculation.

26. Mining machines/mining farms

Mining machines are computers with various configurations, and computing power is the biggest difference between them. A place where mining machines are concentrated in one place is a mining farm

27. Mining pool

Miners join together to form a team, and the computer group under this team is a mining pool. Mining rewards are distributed based on your own computing power contribution.

28. Mining difficulty and computing power

Mining difficulty is to ensure that the interval between generating blocks is stable within a certain short time, such as Bitcoin’s 10 minutes.

Block 1. Computing power is the configuration of the mining machine.

29. Verification

When verification in the blockchain is a confirmation of the legality of the transaction, each node will verify the transaction once when the transaction message is propagated between nodes. Whether the transaction is legal. For example, verify whether the syntax of the transaction is correct, whether the transaction amount is greater than 0, whether the entered transaction amount is reasonable, etc. After passing the verification, it will be packaged and handed over to the miners for mining.

30. Transaction Broadcast

This is the sectionPoints send information to other nodes over the network.

31. Mining fees

For the blockchain to work non-stop like a perpetual motion machine, miners need to maintain the system. Therefore, the miners must be given favorable fees to make it sustainable.

32. Transaction confirmation

When a transaction occurs, the block recording the transaction will be confirmed for the first time, and will be confirmed in every area on the chain after the block. Block is reconfirmed: When the number of confirmations reaches 6 or more, the transaction is generally considered safe and difficult to tamper with.

33. Double transaction

That is, I have 10 yuan, I use the 10 yuan to buy a pack of cigarettes, and then instantly use the 10 yuan that has not yet been paid. Bought another cup of coffee. So when verifying the transaction, you need to confirm whether the 10 yuan has been spent.

34. UTXO unspent transaction output

It is a data structure containing transaction data and execution code, which can be understood as digital currency that exists but has not yet been consumed.

35. Transactions per second TPS

That is throughput, tps refers to the number of transactions the system can process per second.

36. Wallet

Similar to Alipay, it is used to store digital currencies, and blockchain technology is more secure.

37. Cold wallet/hot wallet

A cold wallet is an offline wallet. The principle is to store it locally and use QR code communication to prevent the private key from touching the Internet. A hot wallet is an online wallet. The principle is to encrypt the private key and store it on the server. When it is needed, it is downloaded from the server and decrypted on the browser side.

38. Software Wallet/Hardware Wallet

A software wallet is a computer program. Generally speaking, a software wallet is a program that interacts with the blockchain and allows users to receive, store, and send digital currencies and can store multiple keys. Hardware wallets are smart devices that specialize in handling digital currencies.

39. Airdrop

The project sends digital currency to each user’s wallet address.

40. Mapping

Mapping is related to the issuance of blockchain currency and is a mapping between chains. For example, there are some blockchain companies that have not completed the development of the chain in the early stage. They rely on Ethereum to issue their own currency. The issuance and transactions of the early currency are all operated on Ethereum. With the development of the company, the company's own chain development has been completed. The company wants to map all the previous information on Ethereum to its own chain. This process is mapping.

52. Short position (short selling)

The seller believes that the currency price will fall in the future, and sells the currency he holds (or borrows it from the trading platform) (coin) sell, wait for the price of the currency to fall, buy at a low price to take profits

53. Open a position

Buy virtual currencies such as Bitcoin

54 . Cover the position

Buy Bitcoin and other virtual currencies in batches, for example: buy 1 BTC first, and then buy 1 BTC later

55. Full position

56. Rebound

When the currency price falls, the price rebounds and adjusts because it falls too fast

57 .Consolidation (sideways)

The price fluctuation is small and the currency price is stable

58. Yin fall

The currency price declines slowly

59. Diving (waterfall)

The currency price fell rapidly and to a large extent

60. Cutting meat

After buying Bitcoin, the currency price fell, as Avoid expanding losses and selling Bitcoin at a loss. Or after borrowing currency to go short, the price of the currency rises and you buy at a loss.Enter Bitcoin

61. Hold-up

Expect the currency price to rise, but unexpectedly the currency price falls after buying; or expect the currency price to fall, but unexpectedly the currency price rises after selling

62. Unwinding

After buying Bitcoin, the currency price fell, causing temporary book losses, but then the currency price rebounded and the loss turned into profit

63. Short

After selling Bitcoin because of the bearish market outlook, the price of the currency continued to rise. I was unable to buy in time, so I failed to make a profit

64. Overbought

The currency price continues to rise to a certain height, the buyer's power is basically exhausted, and the currency price is about to fall

65. Oversold

The currency price continues to fall to a certain low, the seller's power Basically exhausted, the currency price is about to rise

66. Lure bulls

The currency price has been consolidating for a long time, and it is more likely to fall. Most of the short sellers have sold Bitcoin, and suddenly the short sellers will The price of the currency is raised, inducing many parties to think that the price of the currency will rise, and they buy one after another. As a result, the short parties suppress the price of the currency, making the long parties trapped

67. Lure shorts

Buying by long parties After Bitcoin, the price of the currency was deliberately suppressed, making short sellers think that the price of the currency would fall, and they sold them one after another. As a result, they fell into the trap of the bulls

68. What is NFT

The full name of NFT is "Non-Fungible Tokens", which is non-fungible tokens. Simply put, it is an indivisible copyright certificate on the blockchain. It is mainly used to confirm and transfer digital assets. The difference from digital currency is that it is unique and indivisible. In essence, it is a unique digital asset.

69. What is the Metaverse

The Metaverse is a collection of virtual time and space, consisting of a series of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and the Internet (Internet) Composed of digital currency, which carries the function of value transfer in this world.

70. What is DeFi

DeFi, the full name is Decentralized Finance, which is "decentralized finance" or "distributed finance". "Decentralized finance", as opposed to traditional centralized finance, refers to various financial applications based on open decentralized networks. The goal is to establish a multi-level financial system based on blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. As a basis, re-create and improve the existing financial system

71. Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

72. Bitcoin and Q Coin are different

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset with no issuing entity. Q Coin is an electronic currency issued by Tencent. It is similar to electronic points, but it is not actually a currency. Q Coin requires a centralized issuing institution. Q Coin can only be recognized and used because of the credit endorsement of Tencent. The scope of use is also limited to Tencent's games and services. The value of Q coins is entirely based on people's trust in Tencent.

Bitcoin is not issued through a centralized institution, but it is widely recognized around the world because Bitcoin can self-certify its trust. The issuance and circulation of Bitcoin are jointly accounted for by miners across the entire network, and are not A central authority is also needed to ensure that no one can tamper with the ledger.

73. What is a mining machine?

Taking Bitcoin as an example, a Bitcoin mining machine is a professional equipment that competes for accounting rights by running a large amount of calculations to obtain new Bitcoin rewards. It is generally composed of a mining chip, a heat sink and a fan, and only performs A single calculation program consumes a lot of power. Mining is actually a competition between miners for computing power. Miners with more computing power have a greater probability of mining Bitcoin. As the computing power of the entire network increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to mine bits with traditional equipment (CPU, GPU), and people have developed chips specifically for mining. The chip is the core part of the mining machine. The operation of the chip will generate a large amount of heat. In order to dissipate heat, Bitcoin mining machines are generally equipped with heat sinks and fans. Users download Bitcoin mining software on their computers, use the software to assign tasks to each mining machine, and then start mining. Each currency has a different algorithm and requires different mining machines.

74. What is quantitative trading?

Quantitative trading, sometimes also called automated trading, refers to the use of advanced mathematical models to replace human subjective judgments, which greatly reduces the impact of investor sentiment fluctuations and avoids extreme fanaticism or pessimism in the market. make irrational investment decisions. There are many types of quantitative trading, including cross-platform trading, trend trading, hedging, etc. Cross-platform trading means that when the price difference between different target platforms reaches a certain amount, sell on the platform with a higher price and buy on the platform with a lower price.

75. Blockchain asset over-the-counter trading

Over-the-counter trading is also called OTC trading. Users need to find their own counterparties and do not need to match the transaction. The transaction price is determined by negotiation between the two parties. The two parties can fully communicate through face-to-face negotiation or telephone communication.

76. What is a timestamp?

The blockchain ensures that each block is connected sequentially through timestamps. Timestamps enable every piece of data on the blockchain to have a time stamp. Simply put, timestamps prove when something happened on the blockchain and cannot be tampered with by anyone.

77. What is a blockchain fork?

Upgrading software in a centralized system is very simple.Just click "Upgrade" in the app store. However, in decentralized systems such as blockchain, "upgrading" is not that simple, and a disagreement may even cause a blockchain fork. Simply put, a fork refers to a disagreement when the blockchain is "upgraded", resulting in a fork in the blockchain. Because there is no centralized organization, every code upgrade of digital assets such as Bitcoin needs to be unanimously recognized by the Bitcoin community. If the Bitcoin community cannot reach an agreement, the blockchain is likely to form a fork.

78. Soft fork and hard fork

Hard fork means that when the Bitcoin code changes, the old nodes refuse to accept the blocks created by the new nodes. Blocks that do not comply with the original rules will be ignored, and miners will follow the original rules and create new blocks after the last block they verified. A soft fork means that old nodes are not aware of the changes to the Bitcoin code and continue to accept blocks created by new nodes. Miners may work on blocks they have no understanding of, or validation of. Both soft forks and hard forks are "backwards compatible" to ensure that new nodes can verify the blockchain from scratch. Backward compatibility means that new software accepts data or code generated by old software. For example, Windows 10 can run Windows XP applications. Soft forks can also be "forward compatible".

79. Classification and application of blockchain projects

Judging from the current mainstream blockchain projects, blockchain projects mainly fall into four categories: Category 1: Currency; The second category: platform category; the third category: application category; the fourth category: asset tokenization.

80. USDT against the US dollar

USDT is Tether USD, a token launched by Tether that is against the US dollar (USD). 1USDT=1 US dollar, users can use USDT and USD for 1:1 exchange at any time. Tether implements a 1:1 reserve guarantee system, that is, each USDT token will have a reserve guarantee of 1 US dollar, which supports the stability of the USDT price. The unit price of a certain digital asset is USDT, which is equivalent to its unit price in US dollars (USD).

81. Altcoins and alternative coins

Altcoins refer to blockchain assets that use the Bitcoin code as a template and make some modifications to its underlying technology blockchain, among which Those with technological innovations or improvements are also called alternative coins. Because the Bitcoin code is open source, the cost of plagiarism in Bitcoin is very low. You can even generate a brand new blockchain by simply copying the Bitcoin code and modifying some parameters.

91. Bull market, bear market

Bull market: rising market

Bear market: falling market

92. Blockchain 1.0

A currency trading system based on distributed ledgers, represented by Bitcoin

93. Blockchain 2.0

Ether The contract blockchain technology represented by Fang (smart contract) is 2.0

94. Blockchain 3.0

In the era of intelligent Internet of Things, it goes beyond the financial field and provides services for various industries. Centralized solution

95. Smart Contract

Smart Contract is a computer protocol designed to disseminate, verify or execute contracts in an information-based manner. Simply put, Set up an electronic contract in advance, and once both parties confirm it, the contract will be automatically executed.

96. What is a token?

The token economy is an economic system with Token as the only reference standard, which is equivalent to a pass. If you own Token, you have rights and interests, and you have the right to speak.

97. The difference between big data and blockchain

Big DataData is the means of production, AI is the new productivity, and blockchain is the new production relationship. Big data refers to a collection of data that cannot be captured, managed and processed within a certain time range using conventional software tools. It is a massive, high-growth and high-volume data set that requires new processing models to have stronger decision-making power, insight discovery and process optimization capabilities. Diverse information assets. Simply understood, big data is massive data accumulated over a long period of time and cannot be obtained in the short term. Blockchain can be used as a way to obtain big data, but it cannot replace big data. Big data is only used as a medium running in the blockchain and has no absolute technical performance, so the two cannot be confused. (A simple understanding of production relations is labor exchange and consumption relations. The core lies in productivity, and the core of productivity lies in production tools)

98. What is ICO?

ICO, Initial Coin Offering, is the initial public offering of tokens, which is crowdfunding in the blockchain digital currency industry. It is the most popular topic and investment trend in 2017, and the country launched a regulatory plan on September 4. Speaking of ICO, people will think of IPO, and the two are essentially different.

99. Five characteristics of digital currency

The first characteristic: decentralization

The second characteristic: having open source code

The third feature: independent electronic wallet

The fourth feature: constant issuance

The fifth feature: global circulation

100. What is decentralization?

It has no issuer, does not belong to any institution or country, and is a publicly issued currency designed, developed and stored on the Internet by Internet network experts.

101. What is measurement (scarcity)?

Once the total amount of issuance is set, it is permanently fixed, cannot be changed, cannot be over-issued at will, and is subject to global Internet supervision. Because the difficulty of mining and mining changes over time, the longer the time, the greater the difficulty of mining, and the fewer coins are mined, so it is scarce.

102. What is open source code?

The alphanumeric code is stored on the Internet. Anyone can find out the source code of its design, everyone can participate, can mine it, and it is open to the world.

103. What is anonymous transaction? Private wallet private?

Everyone can register and download the wallet online without real-name authentication. It is completely composed of encrypted digital codes. It can be sent and traded globally in real-time point-to-point without resorting to banks or any institutions. It cannot be traced by anyone without my authorization. ,Inquire.

104. What is a combination?Make a deal?

Contract trading refers to an agreement between buyers and sellers to receive a certain amount of an asset at a specified price at a certain time in the future. The objects of contract trading are standardized contracts formulated by the exchange. The exchange stipulates standardized information such as commodity type, transaction time, quantity, etc. A contract represents the rights and obligations of the buyer and seller.

105. Digital Currency Industry Chain

Chip manufacturers, mining machine manufacturers, and mining machine agents mine and export to exchanges for retail investors to speculate in coins

106. Who is Bei Feng?

Beifeng: Digital currency value investor

Investment style: Steady

Build a community: Beidou Community (high-quality price investment community)

107. Beidou Investment Strategy

Combining long-term and short-term, focusing on price investment, no touching contracts, no short-term play

Reasonable layout, Scientific operation, prudent and conservative, earn periodic money

108. Beifeng?

Welcome currency friends and seek common development

2. A beginner’s guide to investing in digital currency (blockchain), just read this article

Blockchain Chain and digital currency investment has a higher entry barrier than other investment methods. Many friends want to invest in digital currency but don’t know where to start or what to learn. Although 51Coins has updated a lot of relevant knowledge in the "Beginners Playing Coin" section, it is not systematic enough

This time we will systematically organize the information related to blockchain and digital currency investment. In summary, let everyone understand and invest in digital currency faster and more conveniently

1. Understand the blockchain and digital currency

No matter what you invest in, you must understand it. The same goes for blockchain and digital currencies. There are many introductions about blockchain on the Internet, some are too profound, and some are not comprehensive enough. I personally think the video "100 Questions on Blockchain" produced by Huobi is better

100 videos , all of which are blockchain-related knowledge, including: the birth of Bitcoin, operating principles, blockchain FAQs, mining, wallet introduction, etc., and are all in the form of animated videos, making it easier for everyone to understand. Although the explanation is not detailed enough, it can give you a preliminary understanding of digital currency and blockchain

2. Choose a trading platform

After understanding digital currency, you can try to use the trading platform Purchase a small amount of digital currency and experience the process. digital currencyAll purchases and sales must be completed through a trading platform, which is equivalent to a stock exchange in the stock market. It is recommended to choose a large trading platform for the trading platform, which has a comprehensive range of currencies, convenient transactions, and guaranteed fund security

The following three platforms are recommended: Binance, Huobi, and OKEX (ranked in no particular order)

3. Choose a wallet

If digital currency is compared to cash, a wallet is equivalent to a bank card, used to store digital currency. There are many types of wallets, and the most commonly used ones now are mobile APP wallets (light wallets). Wallets are also divided into types. Different similar digital currencies cannot be transferred to the same wallet. For example, if imtoken is an Ethereum wallet, it can only store Ethereum and tokens issued based on Ethereum, but not other currencies

There are also wallets that claim to support all digital currencies, but most of these wallets are not yet complete.

Of course, after we buy digital currency, we don’t need to deposit it in the wallet, but directly put it in the exchange account, which can save the handling fee and not be so troublesome. Large exchanges such as Huobi and OKEX are relatively It is safe. I personally basically put digital currencies on exchanges

4. Determine the investment plan

Before investing in digital currencies, we must first determine our investment plan and plan to invest. How much money, how much loss you can accept, what is the expected return, and how long the investment time frame is, determine it before investing. Digital currency is a high-risk, high-yield investment product. In the novice stage, you can invest only your spare money that does not affect your life. There is no limit on the amount of investment, and the minimum investment is a few hundred yuan.

Wait until you truly understand the market before making the appropriate investment. Increase the investment amount, but remember to keep the investment amount within your tolerance

5. Select the investment currency

After selecting the trading platform and confirming the investment plan, you can purchase Digital currency, so which one should we buy among so many digital currencies? When buying coins for the first time, it is recommended to choose mainstream coins. You can choose a few coins that you like among the top 20 in the market or recognized value coins

Find out what these coins are for and whether they are available What is the actual value, what news has recently affected the currency price trend, etc.

Understand these issues before buying, and be sure to pay attention to the purchase price before buying

The two most important points are to deepen the understanding of blockchain and technical analysis (K line)

These two are too broad and cannot be learned overnight, so I will not introduce them, K You can find a lot of online knowledge online. As we invest longer, understand more currencies, and come into contact with more related matters, we will gradually deepen our understanding of blockchain.

3. What is EOS

EOS has four different meanings, as follows:

1. EOS: Electronic and Electrical

Electrical Over Stress (EOS) is a common damage to components The reason is that overvoltage or overcurrent generates a large amount of heat energy, which causes the internal temperature of the component to be too high and damages the component (often called burnout). It is a common damage caused by pulses in the electrical system. electronic devices.

2. EOS: Embedded Operating System

Embedded Operating System (Embedded Operating System, referred to as: EOS) refers to the operating system used for embedded systems. The embedded operating system is a widely used system software, which usually includes hardware-related underlying driver software, system kernel, device driver interface, communication protocol, graphical interface, standardized browser, etc.

The embedded operating system is responsible for the allocation of all software and hardware resources, task scheduling, control and coordination of concurrent activities of the embedded system. It must embody the characteristics of the system in which it is located, and be able to achieve the functions required by the system by loading and unloading certain modules.

3. EOS: SDH-based Ethernet

POS (Packet Over SDH, SDH-based packet switching) and EOS are two different implementation methods for SDH networks to carry IP services. . POS technology appeared earlier, and EoS appeared later, with some technological evolutions.

The main difference with POS is that the Ethernet frame is first encapsulated and then mapped to the VC (virtual container) of SDH/SONET, and then the information is processed according to the SDH cross-mapping system.

4. EOS: Blockchain

EOS can be understood as Enterprise Operation System, a blockchain operating system designed for commercial distributed applications. EOS is a new blockchain architecture introduced to achieve performance expansion of distributed applications. Note that it is not a currency like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but a token released based on the EOS software project, called Blockchain 3.0.

(3) A collection of 100 blockchain questions for further reading:

Characteristics of blockchain (EOS)

1. EOS is somewhat similar to Microsoft’s windows platform. It supports multiple applications by creating a developer-friendly blockchain underlying platform. Run at the same time, providing the underlying template for developing dAPP.

2. EOS solves the problems of delay and data throughput through parallel chains and DPOS. EOS can handle thousands of transactions per second, while Bitcoin has about 7 transactions per second, and Ethereum It is 30-40 transactions per second;

3. EOS has no handling fees and has a wider general audience. To develop dApps on EOS, the network and computing resources required are allocated according to the proportion of EOS owned by the developer. When you own EOS, it is equivalent to owning computer resources. With the development of DAPP, you can lease the EOS in your hand to others for use. From this point alone, EOS also has extensive value.

4. Blockchain 100 - Zhou Kaiyu: Can blockchain credit investigation innovation break industry credit barriers

Mr. Zhou Kaiyu, CEO of Zhenxing Technology

Currently, credit reporting has become a key part of the credit system and forms an important support in the operation of the modern financial system. There are certain difficulties and pain points in traditional credit reporting, but the decentralized and non-tamperable characteristics of blockchain will change in one fell swoop the issues of insufficient data privacy protection involved in the credit reporting process and consensus trust issues in the data sharing transaction process.

Mr. Zhou Kaiyu elaborated on the advantages of the combination of blockchain and credit reporting, and described the development status of the blockchain credit reporting industry at the legal level. At the same time, he expressed his views on the future development of Zhenxing Technology and the future direction of blockchain innovation.

Zhenxing Technology is positioned as a blockchain value ecological enterprise and is committed to building the next generation of trusted application service basic network based on blockchain. In June 2017, the company established a stable team structure and carried out related technical matters. From July to August, the first version of Zhenxing’s technical white paper was completed. At present, Zhenxing has implemented the first version of the system and has also started to provide related services in terms of blockchain-based identity verification. In the later stage, further development based on the second version of the credit evaluation system will be carried out.

In terms of ecological construction in the future, Mr. Zhou Kaiyu said that the blockchain credit industry has both value and opportunity. He hopes that industry partners with some high-quality resources on the B-side in the early stage can jointly expand services and eventually achieve A large number of users gather on the C-side, creating an ecological environment for high-credit preference transaction customers. In terms of the company's development plan, Zhenxing will break the inherent thinking of traditional blockchain anonymous verification, build a decentralized strong identity verification basic network, and integrate a trusted Internet service ecosystem.

The original intention of choosing a project that combines credit reporting with blockchain

“Choose blockchain to develop because it has a communityIt is a consensus reward for maintaining the stability of the entire system. The consensus reward is a process of social value redistribution. In the process of social value redistribution, a value effect is formed in which the wool comes out of the pig and is paid by a third party. While achieving credit value, it is a means to encourage everyone to maintain high credit. "Mr. Zhou Kaiyu said.

According to Mr. Zhou Kaiyu, in the traditional credit reporting process, the traditional centralized method is used to process data. The data exists on a centralized platform, but it is difficult to verify the security of user data. Sexual issues. However, personal privacy data issues have attracted attention at the social, government, enterprise and other levels. The blockchain will form a combination with the blockchain through the credit alliance.

At the same time , Block Hall Chain can combine some personal security mechanisms to achieve comprehensive and strict protection of personal privacy data and complete credit reporting services with authorized attributes. In Zhenxing’s credit reporting services, it combines the advantages of blockchain , using personal data and individuals themselves to provide diversified credit reporting services through data services.

What are the advantages of the combination of blockchain and credit reporting?

In the region The main core of the combination of blockchain and credit reporting is at the data level, since credit reporting uses a large amount of user data. In a decentralized system like blockchain, data needs to be maintained by everyone, and everyone can It is difficult to change data, which can clearly guarantee the security of user data. Any access to data must be authorized by the user.

Regarding the current legal status of blockchain credit reporting, Mr. Zhou Kaiyu introduced, "In terms of credit reporting, the country has many management regulations to regulate the processing of customer data by enterprises. Blockchain + credit reporting is a very good technical method." In his view, "District Blockchain + credit reporting has become the only basic technology that can fully meet all requirements in terms of privacy protection when most technologies currently cannot meet the needs of credit reporting. ”

What are the options for future blockchain innovation?

Mr. Zhou Kaiyu said that the development of blockchain is still in an early stage. There is a huge space in the direction. Currently, we are optimistic about the direction of innovation, such as asset digitization. Asset digitization will be a relatively long process, and various applications will continue to emerge during development. In terms of technological innovation, blockchain There is still a lot of room for the chain, and more attempts are being made in new directions of upgrading and balancing subdivisions.

Zhenxing hopes to build a value exchange ecology with high performance value, and It is hoped that under its nourishment, everyone will be happy to maintain their personal credit, and everyone can gain benefits from the credit transaction process. In the future development of Wuxiaokai, maintaining high credit and combating dishonest people will be the core concept.

Big data is the means of production, AI is the new productivity, and blockchain is the new production relationship. Big data refers to a collection of data that cannot be captured, managed and processed within a certain time range using conventional software tools. It is a massive, high-growth and high-volume data set that requires new processing models to have stronger decision-making power, insight discovery and process optimization capabilities. Diverse information assets. Simply understood, big data is massive data accumulated over a long period of time and cannot be obtained in the short term. Blockchain can be used as a way to obtain big data, but it cannot replace big data. Big data is only used as a medium to run on the blockchain.There is no absolute technical performance, so the two cannot be confused. (A simple understanding of the production relationship is the labor exchange and consumption relationship. The core lies in productivity, and the core of productivity lies in production tools)

6. Blockchain 100 questions: What information does the blockchain record?

The blockchain is the Bitcoin network A large ledger, and each block is equivalent to a page in the ledger. So what information is recorded in the "account book

"? Currently, each block of Bitcoin mainly records data such as block header, transaction details, transaction counter, and block size.

The "block header" contains all information except transaction information, mainly including the hash value of the previous block header:

Used to ensure that blocks are concatenated in order ; Timestamp: records the generation time of the block; random number: the answer to the arithmetic problem of the entire network mine

; Difficulty target: the difficulty coefficient score of the arithmetic problem.

"Transaction Details" records in detail the transferor, incomer, amount and digital signature of the transferor

of each transaction, which is the name of each transaction in each block. main content.

The "transaction counter" represents the number of transactions contained in each block.

"Block size" indicates the size of each block data. Currently, each block is limited to 1MB, and the possibility of expansion in the future cannot be ruled out

.

7. Ultra-detailed compilation of blockchain and cryptocurrency industry terms (recommended collection)

Bitcoin Glossary: Every blockchain and cryptocurrency phrase you need to know

Despite the difficulties, blockchain technology has become mainstream. Bitcoin has become a household word, with financial institutions around the world investing in the cryptocurrency or allowing their clients to do so. At the same time, NFT has attracted the participation and appreciation of celebrities from all walks of life.

But despite this, blockchain technology remains very mysterious. Only talented engineers - many of whom were early adopters of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum - can truly understand this, while it can still be difficult for laypeople.

Below is a glossary of blockchain terms you may find useful. (All phrases are arranged in English alphabetical order)

Airdrop (Airdrop)

An airdrop is when a company drops a cryptocurrency or NFT directly into your wallet. Instead of an IPO, the blockchain service will launch tokens and airdrop them to users who have used the service. There are several reasons for this: it could be pure marketing, as the airdrop raises awareness of the tokens people can invest in, or it could provide governance tokens for the DAO.

A recent example: the Ethereum Name Service allows users to change their wallet number to a wallet name (such as CNET.eth). Last December, it launched its own ENS token, airdropping a certain amount to everyone who uses the service. The more people use the Ethereum name service, the more tokens they get airdropped — worth tens of thousands of dollars in some cases.

Altcoin

Any cryptocurrency that is not Bitcoin or Ethereum is called an Altcoin. Sometimes called "shitcoins."

Binance

The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, where people buy and trade cryptocurrencies. It is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service for tax evasion and money laundering.

Blockchain

Blockchain is a "distributed database". Simply put, it is a decentralized ledger that records information in digital “blocks.” Once a block is mined and added to the chain, it cannot be changed, so the blockchain provides a public record of unchangeable data.

There are many different blockchains with varying degrees of decentralization, efficiency, and security. Many people have their own cryptocurrencies - for example, Ethereum is a cryptocurrency built on the Ethereum blockchain.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency, built on the Bitcoin blockchain. It was created in 2009 by a person or group of people under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Only 21 million pieces can be minted, of which approximately 18.9 million are already in circulation.

Burning

Cryptocurrency is "burned" by sending to a wallet that can only receive but not send. Burning mechanisms are often used to create a deflationary effect: the fewer tokens in circulation, the scarcer the tokens held by investors.

Buy the dip

This refers to buying more of an asset after its price has fallen. For example, if the price drops by $10,000, a Bitcoin holder might “buy the dip.”

Cold Wallet

A cryptocurrency wallet that is not connected to the Internet. These wallets are safer and less susceptible to scams.

Cross-chain

The ability to send data, tokens or assets from one blockchain to another. This is different from “multi-chain” services that are built to work on multiple blockchains.

Cryptography

A form of information encryption in which data can only be decrypted using a key. Blockchains using a proof-of-work protocol rely on solving extremely complex cryptographic puzzles in order to mine and verify new blocks.

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is a token native to the blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are typically minted with each new block mined. For example, every time a new Ethereum block is mined, two Ether coins will be obtained as compensation for the miners.

A cryptocurrency is a token. Their birth is their defining factor: other tokens are created using platforms and applications built on top of the blockchain, while cryptocurrencies are built into the blockchain’s protocol.

Decentralized Applications (Dapps)

Abbreviation for Decentralized Applications.

Dao (DAO)

A decentralized autonomous organization. The DAO is an organization that makes decisions through consensus: all holders of governance tokens receive voting rights in organizational decisions, and the solution with the most votes is the DAO's action plan. Imagine a decentralized investment bank, but instead of fund managers making investment decisions, holders of their governance tokens vote on how to invest the funds in their treasury.

Decentralized exchange

Decentralized exchanges are used to buy and trade cryptocurrencies. Unlike typical exchanges, these exchanges use peer-to-peer trading that bypasses any centralized authority. These include Uniswap and Sushiswap.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

“decentralizedThe abbreviation of "finance". DeFi is any financial instrument that uses blockchain technology to bypass centralized institutions, such as smart contracts or DAO.

Diamond Hands

Diamond Hands is A person who holds financial assets for the long term or during periods of price volatility.

DYOR

Abbreviation for "Do Your Own Research."

Ethereum (ETH)

A cryptocurrency mined on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum has a market capitalization second only to Bitcoin, but is a more commonly used cryptocurrency. Most altcoins are also built on Ethereum, Hence the peg to Ethereum. Most NFTs are also built on Ethereum, which is why Ether is the main token used in NFT transactions.

Ethereum

With A blockchain that competes with Bitcoin. It aims to take the blockchain technology pioneered by Bitcoin developers and use it for more complex financial instruments such as smart contracts.

Flash loan )

Flash loan is a DeFi tool that allows loans to be made without collateral. Flash loan allows you to borrow money to buy assets, but only if the asset can be purchased and the interest repaid within the same block .Imagine using a loan to purchase a $1 million house, but the loan will only be approved if you have lined up another buyer who is willing to pay you enough to repay the loan plus interest.

These loans use smart contract technology.

FUD

Short for "fear, uncertainty and doubt". This may be legitimate, such as when people are concerned about the security of tokens or NFT projects Concerns about the safety or legality or security of an asset, such as an organized move to encourage people to sell, lowering the price of an asset.

Gas

Gas is the price you pay to use the Ethereum network . Each transaction incurs a gas fee, which depends on how overloaded the blockchain is. The price per transaction usually ranges from $50 to $500, but prices can spike when the network is overloaded.

Governance token

Governance tokens are cryptocurrencies that give their owners voting rights on a given project. See also: DAO.

GWEI

The cost of gas is expressed in GWEI. As a rough guide, when gwei is below 50, gas will be cheap, and when gwei is above 100, gas will be expensive.

HODL

An intentional misspelling of "hold" used to encourage people to hold their coins during price drops.

Layer 1 and Layer 2

If you dabble in cryptocurrency, you will have heard of Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions. Layer 1 is the blockchain architecture itself, while Layer 2 refers to the architecture built on top of the blockchain.

For example, take the high gas cost problem of Ethereum as an example. Layer 1 solutions are to make the Ethereum blockchain more efficient, for example by adopting a proof-of-stake protocol. An example of a Layer 2 solution is Immutible X, an exchange built on Ethereum that uses smart contract technology to allow gas-free, carbon-neutral trading.

Liquid Market

A liquid market is a market with a large number of buyers and sellers, which allows buy and sell orders to be completed almost immediately. Cryptocurrency markets are liquid, NFT markets are not. Most legal cryptocurrencies can be bought and sold at any time, as NFT traders are required to list items for sale in the hope that buyers will purchase them manually.

Mainnet

A blockchain protocol for public use will be put into the mainnet. This distinguishes it from a testnet, which is more like a beta release of a blockchain protocol.

Memecoins

Many cryptocurrencies are designed to provide utility or services. Memecoins offer no practical prospects and exist purely as speculative assets. Dogecoin is the most well-known, but there are many, many more.

MetaMask

A browser-based online digital wallet, mainly used on the Ethereum blockchain transaction.

Mining

Mining is the process of verifying transactions and adding blocks toBlockchain process. This usually involves powerful computers solving complex password problems. Crucially, this is also how new cryptocurrencies are added into circulation.

Mining Rig

A powerful computer set up for the specific purpose of mining cryptocurrency.

Mining Farm

A warehouse (or room) of mining equipment that operates around the clock and is used to mine cryptocurrency.

Mint

On the blockchain, minting means verifying information and making it a block on the blockchain.

To "mint" an NFT means to purchase it from its creator during a public sale. The "mint price" is the price at which its creator sells it - for example the "mint price" of Bored Ape Yacht Club is 0.08 Ether. After all NFTs in a collection have been minted, traders who want exposure to the collection need to purchase them from a secondary market like OpenSea.

Multi-chain

Applications or services designed to work with multiple blockchains. This is different from cross-chain applications and services, which are designed to send data or assets from one blockchain to another.

MOON

A sharp surge in price is called "mooning" or "a moon". "To the moon" is a common phrase.

NFT

Non-fungible token. These are digital contracts that prove ownership of digital assets. Currently, they are associated with art, but NFTs can prove ownership of any number.

Off-Chain/On-chain

On-chain refers to things that exist on the blockchain, and off-chain refers to things that exist on the blockchain something other than something. Cryptocurrencies are on-chain currencies, and fiat currencies are off-chain currencies.

OpenSea

It is the largest NFT marketplace, specializing in Ethereum-based NFTs. (NFTs built on different blockchains are often sold on specialized marketplaces. For example, Solana NFTs are sold on Solanat.)

Play to Earn (P2E)

Play to Earn (P2E) games integrate blockchain and reward players with in-game cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies in these games can be exchanged for Bitcoin or Ethereum. The most prominent example is Axie Infinity, where players can earn Smooth Love Potion ($SLP).

Proof of Work

Proof of Work (POW) is a consensus mechanism by which blocks are added to the blockchain. Proof-of-work requires miners to solve complex cryptographic puzzles, which require large amounts of energy from powerful mining equipment, in order to verify new blockchain transactions.

Proof-of-work is a secure and decentralized consensus mechanism, but it is notoriously inefficient. This is how the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains work, although Ethereum will soon move to a more efficient Proof of Stake.

Proof of Stake

Faced with the huge energy demand of proof of work, Proof of Stake (POS) is a newer consensus mechanism that can mine areas more effectively. piece. Proof of Stake allows cryptocurrency holders to validate new blocks on the relevant blockchain.

They do this by staking their cryptocurrency. Network users stake their cryptocurrency, and if their stake is selected via a random algorithm, they have the opportunity to validate a new block – for which they are rewarded in the form of more cryptocurrency. The more cryptocurrencies are staked, the greater the chance that users will be selected to validate new blocks.

Proof-of-work rewards those who expend the most computing power to solve cryptographic puzzles, while proof-of-stake rewards those who have invested in the cryptocurrency for the long term.

Pump and dump (Pump and mp)

Pump and dump schemes involve artificial incentives for a product, causing people to buy it and raising its price. The pump-and-dump coordinators then sell their assets at inflated prices, causing prices to fall sharply.

These exist in traditional markets but are more common in cryptocurrency trading because the low liquidity of micro-cap cryptocurrencies makes their prices easier to manipulate.

Rug pull

A rug pull is when the creator of a cryptocurrency disappears, taking the funds with them. A recent example is the fake Squid Game coins, although these coins are far from rare. “Carpet” is essentially shorthand for “scam.”

Satoshi Nakamoto

A pseudonym for the creator of Bitcoin. The white paper explaining the need for decentralized finance and explaining how Bitcoin works was signed by Satoshi Nakamoto, but no one knows who the real person was. It is speculated that Satoshi Nakamoto was actually several people.

Seed Phrase

When you create a cryptocurrency wallet, you are given a 12-word seed phrase . Every time you log into your wallet on a new device, you will need to use a mnemonic phrase. Never give your mnemonic phrase to anyone.

Sharding

Sharding distributes the network load on the blockchain, allowing more transactions to be processed per second. This sounds boring, but it's very important. Ethereum will integrate sharding next year, which will make using it cheaper and less damaging to the environment.

Shitcoin

Shitcoin is an altcoin that provides no utility, whether it is a memecoin or a void altcoin.

Silk Road

Silk Road was an online black market that was shut down by the FBI in 2013. This is where many people are first exposed to cryptocurrency, as Bitcoin is a popular payment method for illegal goods on the site.

Smart contract

A smart contract is a digital contract that executes itself when required conditions are met. For example, if Wallet X sends 0.08 ether to Wallet Y, Wallet Y sends NFT Z to Wallet X. They are most commonly used for automated trading, but can also be used for more complex purposes, such as quick loans.

Stable coin

Stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. These include Tether and USDC. Their purpose is to allow cryptocurrency traders to keep their coins within the crypto ecosystem without experiencing the volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum price fluctuations.

Staking

Staking is the process of locking funds held in a cryptocurrency wallet to support blockchain network operations. Essentially, it involves locking up cryptocurrency to earn rewards. In most cases, the process requires users to participate in blockchain activities using a personal crypto wallet.

The concept of equity staking is closely related to the Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism. It is used in many other blockchain systems based on PoS or similar.

TLT

Abbreviation for "think long term".

Token

Tokens are various forms of blockchain assets. A cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is a type of token. Other types include governance tokens , which grant holders voting rights in a DAO or service, or utility tokens , which grant access to services based on the number of tokens held.

TXN

Abbreviation for transaction.

Utility Token

A token designed to provide a certain function. These can be access to applications, services or games. Examples include Filecoin, which grants access to blockchain-based digital storage, and Link, which connects smart contracts for off-chain type data.

Vanity Address

Personalized wallet addresses provided by companies such as Ethereum Name Service. It allows you to change your wallet address to a word or phrase of your choice, such as CNET.eth.

Vaporware

Products that were promised but never actually made it to market. The term became popular in the late 1990s with the original dot-com boom and has seen a revival thanks to shady cryptocurrency creators.

Vitalik Buterin

The creator behind the Ethereum blockchain.

Wallet

A cryptocurrency wallet is a place where you can store cryptocurrencies and NFTs. These wallets can be hot or cold wallets – i.e. browser wallets connected to the internet or physical hardware not connected to the internet. Wallets are read-write, which means they can receive information as well as signatures or online IDs.

Web 3

Web3 is the next iteration of the Internet imagined by blockchain enthusiasts. From the invention of the Internet until around 2005, Web1 was the read-only Internet. Web2 refers to the emergence of users being able to produce content and upload it to the Internet. Web3 will be an Internet integrated with blockchain. Imagine owning your social media posts as NFTs, using a cryptocurrency like Ethereum as a universal currency, and having your wallet as a form of ID rather than an email/password combination.

Whale

A person who holds a large amount of cryptocurrency.

Whitelist

Pre-sale list of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Whitelisted investors can purchase assets ahead of a public offering, sometimes at a discount.

WAGMI

Abbreviation for "we're all going to make it".

8. Getting Started with Blockchain What You Need to Know!

What is a blockchain?
Literally: a blockchain is a chain composed of small blocks that record various information, similar to what we will Bricks are stacked one after another, and they cannot be removed after being stacked. Each brick also has various information written on it, including: who stacked it, when it was stacked, what material the brick was made of, etc. You can use this information There is no way to modify it.
From a computer perspective: Blockchain is a relatively special distributed database. A distributed database stores data information on each computer separately, and the stored information is consistent. If one or two computers in Taiwan are broken, the information will not be lost, and you can still view it on other computers.
Blockchain is distributed, so it has no central point. Information is stored in all nodes that join the blockchain network, and the data of the nodes is synchronized. A node can be a server, laptop, mobile phone, etc.
What you need to know is that the data stored in these nodes are exactly the same.
Blockchain Features
Decentralization: Because it is distributed storage, there is no central point. It can also be said that each node is a central point. Applications in life do not require a third-party system (bank , Alipay, real estate agencies, etc. are all third parties).
Openness: The system data of the blockchain is open and transparent, and everyone can participate. For example, when renting a house, you can know the previous rental information of the house and whether there have been any problems. Of course, some individuals here Private information is encrypted.
Autonomy: Blockchain adopts consensus-based norms and protocols (such as a set of publicOpen a transparent algorithm), and then each node operates according to this specification, so that everything is done by machine, and there is no human element. This changes trust in people to trust in machines, and any human intervention has no effect.
Information cannot be tampered with: If the information is stored in the blockchain, it will be saved permanently and there is no way to change it. As for the 51% attack, it is basically impossible to achieve.
Anonymity: There is no personal information on the blockchain, because it is all encrypted and is a string of letters and numbers, so your ID card information and phone number will not be resold. Phenomenon.
Block structure
A block contains two parts:
1. Block header (Head): records the meta-information of the current block
2. Block body (Body): actual data
>Contains data as shown below:
How blockchain works
Let’s take transfer as an example:
Currently our transfers are centralized, and the bank is a centralized ledger. For example, there is 400 in account A There are 100 yuan in account B.
When A wants to transfer 100 yuan to B, A needs to submit a transfer application through the bank. After the bank verification is passed, 100 yuan will be deducted from A's account and 100 yuan will be added to B's account.
After calculation, the balance of account A after deducting 100 is 300 yuan, and the balance of account B after adding 100 is 200 yuan.
The steps for transferring money on the blockchain are: A wants to transfer 100 yuan to B. A will tell everyone about the transfer on the Internet, and everyone will check whether there is enough money in A's account. To complete the transfer, if the verification is passed, everyone will record this information in the blockchain on their computers, and the information recorded by everyone will be synchronized and consistent, so that A will successfully transfer 100 yuan to on B’s account. You can see that there is no bank involved.

Key technical points that need to be understood in blockchain?
Use Hash and asymmetric encryption to ensure that data cannot be tampered with:
Hash: y = hash(x), perform a hash operation on x to obtain y , the original information x can be hidden, because you cannot calculate x through y, thus achieving anonymity.
Asymmetric encryption: The public key and the private key are a pair. If the public key is used to encrypt the data, it can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key.;If the data is encrypted with a private key, it can only be decrypted with the corresponding public key.
Consensus algorithm: Ensure data consistency between nodes.
Is there a sentence or two that can explain the blockchain?

What is blockchain? If you understand these 9 questions, you will understand.
What is blockchain? What can blockchain do? How to make money with blockchain? I believe that many netizens are confused when faced with this new term. So how can we better understand blockchain and make this new technology available to us? The author has collected nine very common questions from the Internet. I hope that after reading this article, you will have a clearer understanding of blockchain.

Nearly omnipotent blockchain technology
Simply put, blockchain is a new application model of computer technologies such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithms. Its core is distributed data, and the result is "decentralization." Blockchain technology can be applied to many scenarios in our lives. Next, let’s take a look at the analysis of blockchain technology!
1. Technology is a double-edged sword. While you are still using your mobile phone to play games, others are already using their mobile phones to make money every month! I want to try Jiaerwu Wuyi Wuba Lingyi Lacquer to make your mobile phone no longer a toy!
Just like nuclear energy is a physical technology, blockchain is an underlying technology at a technical level.
Nuclear energy can be used for atomic bombs and nuclear power generation. Similarly, blockchain can be used for the management of industry and life elements, which may make society more stable, or it may be used by bad guys as the fastest way to commit crimes. .
2. Talking about technical value apart from the application level is muddying the waters
As the underlying technology, blockchain has its application level and negotiation method. Currently, some people talk about blockchain in terms of business models, some in terms of hardware, and some people talk about blockchain in terms of power distribution. It is gradually becoming clear in the market that blockchain is used in the design of technology combinations and business models, from hardware to software to business model to financial design and many other aspects. But not every blockchain can issue coins, and not every blockchain should issue coins.
3. Technology is decentralized, but the application is not necessarily
Blockchain technology is decentralized, but it can be decentralized or not in upper-layer applications. If it is applied to things, industries and projects that cannot be decentralized, it is not decentralized; if it is used to things where everyone can participate universally and have equal authority, then it can be decentralized.
Including coins on the blockchain, if a country adopts legal digital currency, the coins on the blockchain can also be centralized. supportThe blockchain operated by Bitcoin is decentralized, but the alliance chain usually has one or more enterprises as the core control alliance, which becomes centralization.
Technology itself and what kind of business and political ecology the technology can support are completely different things.
4. What kind of people use what kind of tools
As a powerful tool, blockchain is powerful not only because of technology, but also because many talented people have invested in it. field, causing the energy of this technology to be amplified. As for whether the power of blockchain benefits society or cuts leeks? It is possible to make the world more turbulent or to make society more harmonious and beautiful.
On the positive side, more kind-hearted people will come in and reach more consensus, and there will be more legislation, restrictions and norms at the national level, which will ultimately allow us to use this technology to give more people opportunities; on the negative side, In other words, it is possible that more greedy and unethical people will come in to divide the wealth, and it is even possible that people in some countries and regions will use this new technology to commit crimes and terrorism.
5. Blockchain promotes the globalization of civilians
Under the blockchain, the global connection space is closer. The 6-degree space will become 5 degrees or even 4 degrees in the future. Blockchain can inspire The growth of various communities. The globalization of interest groups will become inevitable, and there will be various international communities and summits in the future.
6. Blockchain facilitates co-creation
For example, in the past, the connection between international singers and ordinary people had to go through several barriers, including record companies, agents, sales channels, etc. In the blockchain era, international singers publish their songs under blockchain technology. Everyone has the possibility to become a partner of an international singer, write songs for the international singer, or purchase Tokens to obtain dividend rights from distribution proceeds, etc., and enjoy records. Proceeds from distribution and downloads.
7. Trust will become convenient and low-cost
The combined effect of artificial intelligence, big data and blockchain can resolve disputes at the factual level. The tamper-proof nature of the blockchain allows hundreds or even tens of thousands of machines to maintain the same data and encrypt it. Basic facts will be trustworthy. On this basis, the corresponding contracted and authorized information cannot be changed. Replace manual systems with machines, breaking the loopholes in manual operations, the possibility of cheating and even corruption, so that everyone's information can be confirmed to be authentic and trustworthy.
On this basis, if the trust level of the business system is good, trust between people will be enhanced in the process of implementing the designed system.
8. Interaction leads to creativity, and creativity generates income
Blockchain is a comprehensive ledger. Some exchanges are just ideas and creativity at the moment, but they may be the starting point of a certain cause or even industry in the future. In the previous accounting system, there may not be value. However, under blockchain technology, values that are not yet seen can be recorded. If this leads to products, creative people can benefit. Various human activities may be valuable, creative, and worthy of recording.
From this, a better application of blockchain can record creative-related models, introduction of business opportunities, etc., and put valuable things in an ecosystem. Blockchain can create new ways of cooperation.
9. There will be more legal supporting facilities in the future
The world of blockchain is not a disorderly world. Technology will be used by people, and people are rational.
Records can resolve various factual disputes, and can also cause more issues such as authorization rights, patent and creative copyright management, and many other issues. In the future, there will be more legal supporting systems to not only standardize and manage service consumption and life, but also to avoid related risks and problems, and to avoid and combat crime
