Civil servants dig for bitcoin
As of July 24, 2020, the state has not issued any laws to prove that bitcoin mining machine is illegal
bitcoin mining machine is one of the ways to obtain bitcoin. Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency proced by open source P2P software
it doesn't rely on the issuance of specific monetary institutions, and it is generated through a large number of calculations of specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction
extended data
the issue and transaction of bitcoin are realized by mining, and it is cast at a certain but slowing rate. Each new block is accompanied by a certain number of new bitcoin from scratch, which is used as a coinbase transaction to reward the miners who find the block
the reward for each block is not fixed. For every 210000 blocks mined, it takes about four years, and the currency issuance rate is reced by 50%. In the first four years of bitcoin's operation, each block created 50 new bitcoins. Each block creates 12.5 new bitcoins. In addition to the block award, the miner will receive a handling fee for all transactions within the block<

It's not against the law
The laws and administrative regulations in China do not prohibit the proction, holding and legal circulation of bitcoin, nor do they prohibit the sale of bitcoin mining machines2. The investment and transaction of "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin are on the rise. For this kind of virtual goods generated in the Internet environment after the development of Internet technology, there are policy and commercial risks in related transactions. However, under the premise of not violating the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations, the contract signed by the parties is a valid contract
3. Bitcoin is generated by "miner" and "mining", and "miner" can be assumed by anyone in any place in the world. "Mining" is a process in which "miner" provides certain computer computing power according to the open source software provided by the designer, and obtains the special solution of the equation through complex mathematical operations, The miner who gets the special solution gets a certain amount of bitcoin reward
Because bitcoin is based on workload proof, it is related to computing power. To have computing power, we need to consume power, so its power consumption is very large. It is precisely because of such a large power consumption that the safe and stable operation of bitcoin system can be guaranteed
extended information:
according to the data of btc.com website, up to now, the computing power of the whole bitcoin network is about 51.65 eh / s, which is equivalent to 1.84 million bitcoin S15 (28T computing power, 1596w power) mining machines in operation, and the daily power consumption is about 69.92 million kwh. Divided by the current proction of 1800 bitcoins per day, excluding other costs, each bitcoin will consume 38800 kwh of electricity. "
from this point of view, although the current price of bitcoin is expensive, the cryptocurrency market website coinmarketcap.com shows that the current unit price is about $7900, but the cost of mining a bitcoin is not low at all

blockchain technology is a subversive technology. It is expected to build a "value Internet", promote the whole economic system to achieve technological change, organizational change and efficiency change, and make an important contribution to the construction of a modern economic system. Therefore, it has attracted wide attention from all walks of life
Fifth, further improve the relevant laws and regulations and regulatory measures. The application of blockchain technology is not outside the law, and new technology is not an illegal shield. Establishing and improving the corresponding regulatory rules and mechanisms is of great significance for maintaining the benign operation of the blockchain instry ecology, preventing risks, and recing the compliance risks of related enterprises. In addition, we have noticed that many places have introced policies to promote the development of blockchain instry in local areas, which will also play a positive role in accelerating the implementation of blockchain technology in instrial scenariosThere are risks
on the one hand, the Internet real name system can become the "iron broom" to sweep away bad information, on the other hand, it will make all Internet platforms become "fat meat" in the eyes of hackers, increasing the risk of personal information leakage of Internet users
according to the analysis report on the situation of personal information leakage from websites in 2016 released by 360 patch day vulnerability platform in March 2017, 58.5% of the website vulnerabilities in 2016 will lead to the leakage of real name information, 62.4% of the website vulnerabilities will disclose behavior information, and the number of possible leaks can reach 4.23 billion and 4.01 billion
according to insiders, hackers often get users' registration information on Internet platforms and sell it to lawless elements by "scanning numbers and colliding libraries", but many platforms still lack effective defense measures against this "colliding library attack"

holds up the "umbrella" of personal information for real name netizens
the major Internet platforms graally improve their own defense systems from both technical and regulatory aspects to prevent hacker attacks from leading to user information leakage. It is understood that a security team has been set up on an Internet shopping platform to discover high-level persistent threats on the internal network based on the security risk detection and identification of network security attacks, mine and detect phishing websites targeting buyers and businesses, and deal with them in a timely manner
the relevant departments of the state have successively issued various laws and regulations to ensure the information security of Internet users
"China's" decision on strengthening the protection of network information "," tort liability law "and its judicial interpretation and a series of legal provisions have repeatedly stressed the issue of personal information security. It can be seen that China's network information security and personal data security have been raised to the highest level of the country, and strict legal proceres and clear legal authorization are required for the use and collection of personal information. "
Zhu Wei, deputy director of the communication law research center of China University of political science and law, believes that under such a background, the comprehensive establishment of the real name system can actually strengthen the personal information security protection of users
