A. What are those working in the blockchain industry doing?
In recent years, blockchain-related concepts have become extremely popular, attracting many people to join the industry. , so what are these people who are really involved in the blockchain industry doing?
Usually what we call "blockchain industry" is a general term that includes three pillar industries that are interrelated and independently formed: currency circle, mining circle, and chain circle. At this stage, the best "money" scene is the currency circle, followed by the mining circle, and finally the chain circle.
Currency Circle
Currency Circle mainly focuses on the issuance, payment, and securities of digital currency (also known as virtual currency, cryptocurrency).
The earliest and most successful digital currency is Bitcoin (BTC). The Bitcoin white paper and software released by the still anonymous tycoon Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008~2009 marked the After the birth of Bitcoin, there are three main ways to issue digital currencies: forks, self-research, and tokens:
1. Among common currencies, BCH, LTC, DCR, and DASH , ZEC, etc. all came from forking BTC, mainly because they have some different propositions in terms of performance, privacy, encryption algorithms, etc.
2. ETH, EOS, etc. are relatively successful self-research projects. They are often not satisfied with issuing a new currency, but try to create a set of public projects that support the development of smart contracts and decentralized applications. platform.
3. Token issuance mainly relies on the capabilities of the aforementioned public platforms to issue new currencies in a very fast and easy way. These new currencies usually have some innovations at the business level. Or integration; Token has opened the door to a new world of digital currency issuance. Project crowdfunding (I-C-O), stable coins (USDT, etc.), platform coins, I-E-O, etc. are taking turns. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming and a mixture of good and bad.
Payment is the basic function of currency. In order to make digital currency faster and more convenient for transactions and circulation, many excellent products have been born, such as online or offline wallets that support many currencies, and peer-to-peer support. Or a settlement system for guaranteed transactions, a platform that supports the mutual exchange of digital currencies and legal currencies, etc.
The emergence of exchanges has given digital currencies strong securities attributes. Common exchanges usually support OTC (C2C) transactions, currency-to-crypto transactions, contract transactions and other functions to provide investors with 7x24 hours real-time online digital currency trading service.There are more investors participating in transactions, and investment services such as quantification, funds, lending, etc. have also been derived. Along with several rounds of bull markets, digital currency has been recognized, accepted and participated in investment by more and more people, and the securities function has developed much more powerfully than the payment function.
Mining Circle
With the development of technology and intensified competition, mining machines, mining pools, mining pools and cloud computing power services integrating the first three have become the core of the mining circle. Main business models.
In a popular sense, mining is the process of generating new digital currencies through computers. Early digital currencies, especially Bitcoin, which has the largest market capitalization, usually used a proof-of-work (POW) mechanism to ensure the normal operation of the decentralized network and give participants digital currency rewards. As the value of digital currencies increases, competition in mining continues to intensify, and the computing power required to generate new coins is also constantly and significantly increasing: the earliest Bitcoins can be mined through the CPU of a personal computer, and later the computing power is stronger The GPU replaced the CPU, and in the future, dedicated mining machines, especially ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) mining machines, became the protagonist. The most important thing in developing ASIC mining machines is the development of dedicated high-performance chips, which represent the most cutting-edge technical capabilities; the second is the stability and energy efficiency ratio of the mining machines. The production of mining machines is usually through foundries, but strong supply chain, logistics management, marketing promotion, after-sales service and other capabilities are also essential.
A mine is a place where mining machines are deployed centrally. The ideal mine is built according to data center standards, but it is almost impossible to achieve it due to cost considerations. The most basic mine construction requires cheap and stable power supply, safe and spacious site, professional operation and maintenance team and other conditions. It also needs to be equipped with rack cabinets, temperature adjustment, noise isolation and other facilities. As the most important resource, cheap and stable electricity is usually owned by a few people (companies). They usually resell resources or build mines for self-operated mining and provide mining machine hosting services.
The emergence of mining pools is also due to the increasing difficulty of mining. Even if you have a state-of-the-art ASIC mining machine, the probability of directly mining coins is very low. Mining pools can unite many mining machines to form a huge computing power pool, increasing the probability of obtaining mining rewards. The main principle is to split the same mining task and send it to the mining machine connected to the mining pool, and receive and verify the calculation results submitted by the mining machine. If it meets the mining requirements, it will be submitted to the chain to obtain rewards. Different mines will also be counted. The computing power of the machine is distributed according to the computing power.
Because of the professionalism and high entry barriers of mining machines, mining pools, and mining pools, only larger and well-funded teams and institutions can participate in mining. Cloud computing power has passed Integrating high-quality resources from mining machines, mines, mining pools, etc., you can directly deliver the specified size of computing power and package itIt has become a simple and easy-to-use mining service for ordinary users to purchase directly, which greatly reduces the cost of funds, time, resources and energy for ordinary users to participate in mining.
Chain Circle
Blockchain was born out of the underlying implementation of Bitcoin. In a narrow sense, blockchain is a way to connect data blocks in sequence in chronological order. A chained data structure composed of , is a technology that uses cryptography to ensure a decentralized ledger that cannot be tampered with or forged.
Blockchain is the carrier technology of digital currency. At the same time, after more than ten years of development, people have gradually realized that the advantages and characteristics of blockchain technology can be applied to wider fields, so they There are so many people who are devoted to the research, development and promotion of blockchain technology, which mainly include three parts: chain building, DAPP development, and blockchain+.
The popularity of blockchain technology has led to the development of many blockchains. The carrier chains of digital currencies such as BTC, BCH, ETH, EOS, etc. are usually released to the public network and developed by the open source community. A blockchain that is maintained and can be used by anyone can be called a public chain. Application-oriented chains led by commercial companies such as FaceBook, Internet, and Tencent are developed and deployed on intranets and are often called private chains.
DAPP refers to decentralized applications developed on the blockchain through smart contracts and other technologies. Most of them are applications for ordinary users on the public chain, such as electronic pets, gambling games, and decentralized applications. Exchanges, light games, etc. Blockchain+ is more of a commercial application developed by commercial companies based on private chains combined with a certain business field, such as points system, copyright certificate, decentralized storage, bank securities, etc.
With the development of blockchain technology, I believe that more and more chains and excellent chain-based applications will be born.

B. The "Riemann Hypothesis" was confirmed, touching the hearts of blockchain people Which nerve
If you want to search for the most popular words in 2018, "blockchain" will definitely be on the list. Thanks to the famous Bitcoin, blockchain technology and related industries have suddenly become a new investment trend. Internet giants such as BAT have successively released white papers on their respective blockchain industry layouts. JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs Group, Nas Financial giants such as Dak have also expressed their enthusiasm for blockchain technology. Various blockchain projects are coming one after another, which is almost dizzying.
However, a few days ago, aThe report that the "Riemann Hypothesis" was confirmed broke out in the media. The famous British mathematician Michael Attia claimed to have proved the Riemann Hypothesis with a "simple" and "new" method, and at the 2018 Heidelberg His relevant certificates were announced at the winners forum. In his lecture, this wise jazz gentleman gave a general direction for proving the "Riemann Hypothesis". It is expected that in the next few weeks or even months, many mathematicians around the world will work hard to prove in this direction to confirm Is Atiya's plan feasible? As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the blockchain field. Some people in the industry even pointed out: "Once the Riemann Hypothesis is confirmed, it will affect the life and death of the blockchain."
One is one of the "seven major mathematical problems in the world" that has stumped the world for 159 years. One is a new investment trend based on technologies such as distributed data storage. If you want to know how the former controls the fate of the latter, it is necessary to first take a look at this "Li" that has caused generations of mathematical geniuses to rack their brains but dream about it. Mann guessed what it was.
The prototype of the protagonist in the Hollywood classic film "A Beautiful Mind" and Nobel Prize winner in economics John Nash had studied the Riemann Hypothesis in the mid-to-late 1950s, but not long after that Unfortunately, he suffers from schizophrenia. Many people believe that the painful process of studying the Riemann Hypothesis is the main cause of Nash's illness, and it is not mainly caused by the huge psychological pressure caused by participating in military work as is generally believed. This shows the breathtaking magic of the "Riemann Hypothesis".
The written explanation of the "Riemann Hypothesis" is difficult to understand. In fact, in layman's terms, Riemann believed that the distribution of prime numbers is not chaotic and traceless, but that the secret of its distribution is completely hidden. Within a special function - in particular, the series of special points that make that function take on the value of zero has a decisive influence on the detailed laws of the distribution of prime numbers. If this conjecture is confirmed, some encryption algorithms based on this will inevitably become useless.
So will blockchain technology really be ruthlessly slaughtered because of this?
More and more people already know that blockchain is a new application model that integrates distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. As the underlying technology of Bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains information about a Bitcoin network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of its information and generate the next block. piece. Not only Bitcoin, but the Tokens issued by current blockchain projects are also based on this principle. Bitcoin and blockchain tokens are called cryptocurrencies, and their security and encryption are reflected in this.
One is based on encryption algorithms, and the other reveals encryption rules. It seems that blockchain technology will indeed be destroyed by the "Riemann Hypothesis" - in fact, this is not the case!
The encryption algorithm of blockchain technology is an asymmetric algorithm and a hash algorithm based on the discrete logarithm problem on the elliptic curve function. It has nothing to do with the prime number distribution function assumed by the "Riemann Hypothesis". For example, fuel vehicles and electric vehicles use are two different sources of power. The so-called statement that "the Riemann Hypothesis is confirmed will affect the life and death of the blockchain" is nothing more than an error caused by the fragile nerves of blockchain people.
However, it can also be seen from this that the emerging industry of blockchain is extremely fragile. A slight external disturbance can cause panic and uneasiness in the industry, and even the trembling of the wind and the panic of the grass and trees. Several cryptocurrency theft incidents in history have caused large-scale market declines. In fact, the theft incidents are not due to security vulnerabilities in the blockchain technology itself, but due to the systems and trading platforms of some project parties. Caused by system security vulnerabilities. Until breakthroughs are made in quantum technology, Bitcoin will remain one of the most difficult technologies on the planet to hack. However, due to the stabilizing pressure from the regulatory level and the lack of clarity and deliberate confusion in the media circle, and the fact that some blockchain projects are indeed confusing and have frequent loopholes, the general public is waiting and watching when facing blockchain technology and applications. It is not difficult to understand the questioning attitude and the fragile nerve that can be touched at any time.
It is conceivable that before blockchain technology can complete decentralization and achieve point-to-point trust, there will be a long way to go in how to make people trust the blockchain technology itself.
C. The Great Migration of Blockchain Talents: Where do those who leave their jobs go?
In fact, there are very few blockchain talents in China, and most of them are just pseudo-blockchains. Talent, blockchain talent mainly flows to first- and second-tier cities. Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing are all cities where blockchain is popular. There is a WaykiChain project in Shenzhen that is also good in the community. Needless to say, Huobi and OK in Beijing. ETP and NEO in Shanghai are the leaders in public chains.
D. Why the legendary blockchain founder Satoshi Nakamoto has always wanted to remain anonymous
The Bitcoin white paper was first published in late 2008, when the creator sent it to the crypto mailing list multiple recipients in . Strangely, its creator pretended to be Satoshi Nakamoto, hiding behind a pseudonym.
Another reason for Nakamoto’s anonymity could be explained by the fact that creators of alternative currencies could easily put themselves at risk .
In 1998, Hawaii resident Bernard von Nohaus created a private currency called the Liberty Dollar. It had been popular for some time, but its minting was suddenly raided by the FBI and Secret Service in 2007. Following a criminal prosecution in 2009, the money was confiscated and Bernard von Neuhaus was convicted of "manufacturing goods related to official U.S."Private coins competing against cryptocurrencies".
In addition, in 2007, a digital currency called e-gold was accused of being illegal because it did not collect enough customer information. Its owner was sentenced to house arrest, and the company Being shut down. Government agencies arresting entrepreneurs for alternative currencies may be a factor in China's decision to remain anonymous.
Bitcoin is available to everyone. This means it can be used to pay for both legal and illegal services, as well as Legal bidding. However, it has been a popular payment method on dark web markets. Notorious dark web market maker and operator Ross Ulbricht was charged with facilitating drugs and other contraband Jailed for the deal.
Ross Ulbricht appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in December 2017 but remains in jail. If Nakamoto reveals his true identity, it can be inferred that he may face a similar fate.
Who could he be?
In 2016, Australian programmer Craig Wright claimed to be Chinese. He provided some evidence, but it was later discovered that This is not conclusive as it is publicly available from books. He has also been accused of forging announcements and blog posts to show his authentic Chinese version. For example, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently claimed that Reg White is a liar.
The other is Hal Finney. He is a famous cypherpunk and cryptographer. He was also the first person to receive Bitcoin from Japan in 2009. He was also the first person to download the Bitcoin client. However, before his death in 2014, Hal Feeney refuted the idea that he was Chinese.
Some people believe that Nick Szabo, a famous cryptographer scholar, probably Nakamoto. Before the launch of Bitcoin, he designed the architecture of a distributed digital currency, which he called Bitcoin. Although the architecture was never moved, it is similar to Bitcoin's design. This leading to widespread speculation. But he has repeatedly denied it.
While Nakamoto's true identity may never be revealed, importantly, the operation of the technology will not be affected.
< p>E. How many people are engaged in the blockchain industry across the countryQichacha data shows that there are currently 45,600 blockchain-related companies in my country, of which more than 40,000 are in operation. Guangdong Province accounts for 52.5%.
F. What does Blockchainer do? Can you explain what blockchain is?
Blockchain is a distributed ledger. It is a new type of decentralized protocol. The data on the chain cannot be changed or forged at will, thus providing a trust-building paradigm that does not require the accumulation of trust. The blockchain can be understood as a ledger, and people only need to join an open and transparent database to establish trust through peer-to-peer Accounting, data transmission, certification or smart contracts to achieve credit consensus without resorting to any middle party. This open and transparentThe clear database includes all past transaction records, historical data and other relevant information. This information is securely distributed and stored in a series of data blocks generated using cryptographic methods, which is a block. The blockchain is formed by connecting the genesis block to the current block. I don’t understand what kind of blockchain people you are referring to. If you are a junior player now, they are also called leeks. The green color of leeks is consistent with the decline of digital currencies. Leeks will be cut several times a year, which is a good description. Jiuzhuang BCBOT is specifically competing for this group of players.
G. The earliest designer of China’s virtual currency blockchain
The earliest designer of China’s virtual currency blockchain is Mr. Zhang Ronghuan. You can search online: Zhang Ronghuan’s genes for the digital economy are in The top-level design of ecological civilization reminds us that the Bitcoin blockchain model is the gene of the digital economy.
H. [Hall of Fame] Founder of Blockchain Pencil (ChainB) - Prince Baozou Gong
Gong Ming, also known as "Prince Baozou Gong", ICO AGE (formerly China The founder of the largest ICO platform) and Blockchain Pencil (the largest Chinese blockchain media). Since 2012, he has been committed to promoting the development of digital currency and blockchain industries. He has translated and written a large number of relevant materials and blockchain white papers, and participated in "Blockchain Society", "Blockchain - New Economic Blueprint", "Digital Currency" and many other works.
Prince Gong of Baozou·Weibo ID
Speaking of Prince Gong of Baozou, people outside the blockchain circle may be unfamiliar, but This title is extraordinary within the circle.
The first time I met Prince Baozou Gong was at the Gravity Zone event in Chengdu. Many blockchain “believers” came for Baozou Gong that day.
Initially, Prince Baozou Gong was just a Weibo ID.
Initial research on digital currency
Just after he was released from prison in 2010, he plunged into the field of digital currency research. With a salary of 1,200 yuan, he silently predicted The trend of digital currency.
In 2012, the transfer payment method was still very traditional. The cumbersome procedures and extremely inefficient transfer process often made Baozou miserable. “After reading the information on Bitcoin at the time, I felt that this could be solved. My past doubts."
Different from most laymen, Bao Bao, a mathematics major, has not only done program development for more than ten years, but also has experience in finance, so he quickly digested the Bitcoin currency and even the logic of blockchain technology. When he transferred the Bitcoins from his wallet to a friend for the first time, Baozhua was particularly excited. "Transferring money is so convenient. It feels like sending an email for the first time. This is the future!"
Bitcoin opens a new era for violenceThe door to the world, so he was very happy to do some science popularization work. "At that time, there were more technical discussions abroad, and I really wanted to spread these things back to China."
Translation & Book Writing
At that time, he translated a large amount of foreign information and reports about Bitcoin on Weibo.
He has translated and written a large number of relevant materials and blockchain white papers, and participated in many publications such as "Blockchain Society", "Blockchain - New Economic Blueprint", and "Digital Currency". book.
Gradually, everyone became accustomed to calling Gong Ming "Prince Baozou Gong", and "Prince Baozou Gong" has become an influential figure in the blockchain circle.
Blockchain Pencil (ChainB)
Prince Gong translated many articles on blockchain technology, and later created blockchain media: Blockchain Pencil. “I always believe that technology is the most important, so the Blockchain Pencil only introduces technology and tells you what is truly valuable. As for the quality of blockchain applications, we will give you various overseas materials for reference. ”
Blockchain Pencil (website domain name ChainB.com) is an authoritative new media that provides the latest and most comprehensive information reports on the global blockchain industry.
The website publishes authoritative, comprehensive and professional blockchain information in real time 24 hours a day, 7 hours a day, including blockchain-related industry trends, company news, events and conferences, etc. The content covers the block chain Chain companies, related venture capital opportunities, digital currency and digital asset-related news and other news.
Participate in the EOS super node election
At an event, Prince Gong Baozou mainly introduced two blockchain projects in which he participated: the decentralized exchange CYBEX and blockchain incubator LongHash.
He said that EOS.CYBEX will develop the first test chain of EOS and provide EOS developers with a complete testing environment and tools for free. Its LongHash incubator can provide free support to outstanding EOS developers around the world. At the same time, taking this opportunity, Baozou officially announced its participation in the EOS super node election.
Why did you choose to work on CYBEX and LongHash? Baozang also has its own considerations: “What we hope to do is a platform that can provide everyone with complete basic services. The biggest starting point for doing these projects is to hope that the industry will be healthy. Development."
With the participation of candidates such as Laomao, Coin Capital, and Gravity Zone, the competition for EOS super nodes is becoming increasingly fierce. Baozou believes in BM's technical strength, which is why he has been paying attention to BTS An important reason for development is that CYBEX is actually in EOSWhat needs to be done is similar to BitShares.
For these reasons, it is expected that Baozou issued "CYBEX will bring together its deep development experience, market operation experience and rich industry resources to empower the EOS community."
