Generation and schematic diagram of bitcoin
The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system. Bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network will get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer
Every other time, the bitcoin system will generate a random code on the system node. All computers in the Internet can search for this code. Whoever finds this code will generate a block and get a bitcoin. This process is often called mining
at present, one bitcoin is divided into eight decimal places based on the current data structure, that is, 0.00000001btc. The smallest unit of bitcoin g by miners is 0.00000001btc
generally speaking, bitcoin is like a gold mountain with a total amount of 21 million gold coins. To get it, players need to use the computing power of the computer to calculate a group of numbers according to the existing algorithms
extended data:
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, And the use of cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation
the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity
warm tips: according to the notice and announcement issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments, virtual currency is not issued by the monetary authority, does not have legal compensation and mandatory monetary attributes, is not a real currency, does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market, Citizens' investment and transaction of virtual currency are not protected by law

Before investing, it is recommended that you first understand the risks existing in the project, and clearly understand the investors, investment institutions, chain activity and other information of the project, rather than blindly investing or mistakenly entering the capital market
investors should not use such information to replace their independent judgment or make decisions only based on such information, which does not constitute any investment operation

historical background
bitcoin is one of the first currencies to realize the concept of "cryptocurrency". In 1998, Wei Dai first expounded the concept of "cryptocurrency" in cypherpunks mailing list. Based on the basic concept of money, which is used to pay for goods, services and debt or any form of records in a given country or economy, bitcoin is a new form of money. Its original design is to integrate the idea of not relying on the central authority, using the principle of cryptography to control the issuance and transaction of money
in 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto published the first bitcoin specification and its proof of concept in the cryptography mailing list. At the end of 2010, Nakamoto claimed that he had transferred to other affairs and left the project. The creator of bitcoin never revealed his true identity, but left his invention to the world. Today, the origin and motivation of the invention of bitcoin is still a mysterious story
since 2010, many developers have devoted themselves to this project, and the bitcoin community has grown rapidly. Between June and July 2011, bitcoin suddenly gained media attention, leading to large-scale buying. The resulting bubble led to the continued decline in the price of bitcoin in the second half of 2011. After that, the price of bitcoin graally rose to the height of 2011
in order to regulate, protect and promote the development of bitcoin, the bitcoin foundation was established on September 27, 2012. Nowadays, with the increasing number of bitcoin users, bitcoin economy is developing rapidly
technical features
any network like bitcoin has the following basic features:
bitcoin can be transferred between any node of the network
the transaction is irreversible
the use of block chain avoids the occurrence of double consumption
the transaction will spread out in a few seconds and pass validation in 10 to 60 minutes
transaction processing and currency issuance are carried out through mining
bitcoin can be received at any time whether it is online or not<
economic rules
the whole bitcoin network jointly implements the following rules:
the total amount of bitcoin issued is about 21 million
a bitcoin can be divided into 8 decimal places, with a total of about 21 × 1014 monetary units
transaction costs are very low and most of them are free
statistics
bitcoin network has been running continuously for more than 48 months. In the past year, bitcoin's security features have attracted attention and developed significantly. As of April 2013:
the longest block chain has more than 232000 blocks
one of the largest distributed computing networks in the world, with more than 65 trillion hashes per second
there are 50000 transactions every day, with a total amount of several million US dollars
the total value of bitcoin in circulation exceeds US $1.3 billion
there is only one major security incident in the protocol, which was resolved in August 2010

Last week, a paragraph about bitcoin became popular:
bitcoin broke through 5800 US dollars (about 38280 yuan) . When it was issued in 2009, 1 US dollar was equivalent to 1300 bitcoins. What is investment? It has increased by 7.54 million times in 8 years. At that time, you spent 38000 yuan to buy some bitcoin. Now you are the richest man in China, surpassing Xu Jiayin, who has 290 billion yuan
but just one week later, on October 20, bitcoin broke through the $6000 mark. Although it fell later, it reached more than $6000 again on October 21, reaching a maximum of $6147. In terms of $6000, bitcoin prices have risen 7.8 million times in eight years
according to cryptocompare, a bitcoin data provider, e to China's strict supervision of cryptocurrency trading, the global share of bitcoin market has been greatly changed. Now, in the total trading volume of the world's bitcoin exchanges, the trading volume of RMB versus bitcoin accounts for about 1.6%

the reporter noted that in the first half of this year, after Japan's legislation recognized bitcoin as a legal payment method, bitcoin's trading volume in Japan surged, and Japanese regulatory authorities have issued certificates to 11 cryptocurrency exchanges. About 58% of bitcoin trading currently takes place in the Japanese market, and nearly a third of yen to bitcoin trading takes place on the bitflyer exchange in Tokyo. In addition, the U.S. and South Korea markets also account for a large part of global bitcoin transactions - the U.S. dollar and the Korean won account for 27% and 7% of the total bitcoin transactions, respectively< br />
1. I now have a 100 yuan personal name coin in my hand Bitcoin)
2.. Who cares about the official account? But you need to guess the number of the money in the comments Mining, random filling, numerical solution)
try your best to guess, and you get 100 yuan in full - personal mining
pay money to gather some people to guess together - mining field
gather people you don't know to guess together, and allocate the 100 yuan in proportion through the number of guesses -
the above is a simple example of analogy, of course, You followed and guessed the number of 100 yuan in my pocket, I promise you. So what's going on with bitcoin mining
