Bitcoin bifurcation August 1, 2017

1.

The capacity of a block in bitcoin is 1m (megabytes). A transaction is between 250 and 500 bytes

according to this algorithm, a block contains about 4194.3 transactions

the confirmation time of a block in bitcoin is 10 minutes, so the seven transactions that a block can process per second may sometimes be less than seven

What are the consequences

The bifurcations of

bitcoin are divided into hard bifurcations and soft bifurcations

hard fork means that when the block format or transaction format of bitcoin changes, the UN upgraded nodes refuse to verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes

the upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by the non upgraded nodes, and they continue the chain they think is correct, so they are divided into two chains

What is soft bifurcation

soft bifurcation means that when the data structure of bitcoin transaction changes,

UN upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by upgraded nodes,

and upgraded nodes can also verify the blocks proced by UN upgraded nodes

2. As for whether there is token after bitcoin bifurcation, it mainly depends on whether the wallet supports bitcoin bifurcation
as we all know, there are two common types of bitcoin wallets:
first, the network version, which does not need to be downloaded by users, can directly access the wallet platform through a computer or mobile phone, and use bitcoin wallets
Second, the stand-alone version, which needs to be downloaded from the computer (or the lower end of the mobile phone) and installed before it can be used
in addition, there is a bitcoin wallet (Hard Wallet) similar to U disk
as a bitcoin wallet service platform, coin pack thinks that whether the bitcoin in the wallet will generate new tokens after bifurcation mainly depends on whether the wallet supports bitcoin bifurcation
as a bitcoin wallet, whether it is a network version, a stand-alone version or a hard wallet, it is necessary to compare the bifurcated support of bitcoin before a new token can be generated; Whether there is a new token proct depends on the users
users can also consult the customer service of the wallet to learn about the bifurcations of bitcoin.

3. The hard bifurcations of bitcoin in November are segwit2x, which makes bitcoin expand to 2MB. BCC is a new type of blockchain asset proced by a hard bifurcation of bitcoin. It is a decentralized digital currency supported by a large community of supporters. BCC removes segwit, cancels the limitation of 1m block size, supports 8m block size at most, and adheres to the expansion route on the chain. The purpose is to better realize the "point-to-point encrypted e-cash system" described in Nakamoto's white paper.

4. Bitcash is derived from bitcoin. Holding a bitcoin can get a bitcash, so there is no issue price in essence.

5. Because there has been an irreconcilable spear in the bitcoin community, and this contradiction is still difficult to solve. Expansion team: the classic bitcoin scheme proposed by Gavin Andresen, the successor of Nakamoto, and the Bu scheme supported by Chinese miners. Sw: supporting SW is mainly the core team and the BS company behind it. The debate between the two parties has been going on. The two parties once reached a consensus in Hong Kong, but later the core went back on its words and the two parties became even more incompatible. The core party has strong strength abroad. It has captured western public opinion by using the water army to fight public opinion. In China, there are also many water armies. However, in China, the core does not have an advantage in fighting against the core.
