How many lines of BTC source code

1. Sorry
you can't modify this
because this source code records the development process of bitcoin along the way, the problems encountered in the mining process and the mining difficulty
there is open source code to mine, so no one can change it

2. As a reminder, bitcoin has been exploited to the end. The principle of bitcoin program determines that the longer the generation interval is, the longer the time to generate a bitcoin may have exceeded its value. After all, we have to consider the power consumption and time of the mining computer. Although bitcoin is still very popular, it's a bit late to start now, and it's unlikely to make money.

3. Open source software, see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/

5. Bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. Bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. 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
bitcoin trading is carried out through bitcoin trading platform. At present, the better bitcoin trading platforms in China are okcoin, bitcoin China, fire coin network, 796 trading network, etc. the capital of each company is different. Okcoin is based on technology, and fire coin network pays more attention to user experience, But in terms of professionalism, okcoin is relatively good.

Bitcoin is a kind of electronic currency / network virtual currency

bitcoin: also known as "bitcoin", is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods

on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency

from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees

extended data:

currency features:

1, decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, the whole network is composed of users, and there is no central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom

2, global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3, exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4, low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

6, cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

advantages of bitcoin:

1, it is completely decentralized, without issuing institutions, it is impossible to manipulate the number of issues. Its distribution and circulation are realized through open-source P2P algorithm

2, anonymity, tax exemption and supervision free

3, robustness. Bitcoin is completely dependent on P2P network and has no distribution center, so it cannot be shut down externally. Bitcoin price may fluctuate and collapse, and many governments may declare it illegal, but bitcoin and its huge P2P network will not disappear

4, borderless and cross-border. Cross border remittance will go through layers of exchange control agencies, and the transaction records will be recorded by many parties. But if you trade with bitcoin, enter the digital address directly, click the mouse and wait for the P2P network to confirm the transaction, a lot of money will pass. It does not go through any regulatory agencies and will not leave any cross-border transaction records

5, Shanzhai people are difficult to survive. Because bitcoin algorithm is completely open source, anyone can download the source code, modify some parameters, recompile, and create a new P2P currency

but these counterfeit currencies are very fragile and vulnerable to 51% attacks. Any indivial or organization, as long as it controls 51% of the computing power of a P2P currency network, can manipulate transactions and currency value at will, which will be a devastating blow to P2P currency

many counterfeit coins die in this link. The bitcoin network is robust enough. If you want to control 51% of the computing power of the bitcoin network, the number of CPUs / GPUs required will be astronomical

the weakness of bitcoin

1, the fragility of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities

2, the transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed

3, the price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading

4, the public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control

but the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even distinguish between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless

7. Lightning bitcoin will eventually return to zero. It's better to buy bitcoin than to have money. The main feature of "Shanzhai coin" is that most of them are realized by modifying or even directly applying the source code of bitcoin (bitcoin program is open source). A new name is given and a new kind of currency is born. Only a small number of currencies use the idea of blockchain for reference and implement it without bitcoin source code.

8. It's impossible
