Basic concepts of blockchain Technology

1.

From the perspective of technology and architecture, I will tell you my understanding of blockchain in common language

what is blockchain? In a word, blockchain is a storage system. To be more specific, blockchain is a distributed storage system without an administrator and each node has all the data

What are the common storage systems like

first, how to ensure high availability

the common storage system usually uses "rendancy" to solve the problem of high availability. As shown in the figure above, if the data can be copied into several copies and rendant to multiple places, high availability can be guaranteed. The data in one place is hung, and there is data in other places. For example, the master-slave cluster of MySQL is the same principle, and the raid of disk is also the same principle

two points need to be emphasized in this place are: data rendancy often leads to consistency problems

1. For example, in the master-slave cluster of MySQL, there is actually a delay in reading and writing, which means there is a inconsistency in reading and writing in a short period of time. This is a side effect of data rendancy

The second point is that data rendancy often reces the efficiency of writing, because data synchronization also consumes resources. If you add two slave libraries, the write efficiency will be affected. The common storage system is to use rendancy to ensure the high availability of data

so the second question, ordinary storage system, can write more

the answer is yes, for example, take this graph as an example:

in fact, MySQL can do a master-slave synchronization of al masters, master-slave synchronization of al masters, two nodes can be written at the same time. If you want to do a multi room multi live data center, in fact, multi room multi live data synchronization. What we should emphasize here is that multi-point writing often leads to the consistency problem of writing conflicts. Take MySQL as an example, suppose that the attribute of a table is self incrementing ID, then the data in the database is 1234 now. If one of the nodes writes and inserts a piece of data, it may become 5, and then these 5 pieces of data are synchronized to another master node, Before synchronization, if another write node inserts a piece of data, a piece of data with self incrementing ID of 5 will be generated. Then, after the generation, synchronize to another node, and the synchronized data will conflict with the two local 5's after it arrives, which will lead to synchronization failure and write consistency conflict. This problem will occur in the case of multi-point writing

how to ensure consistency in multi-point writing

the reform "Swan class" gives you more technical work

2. The definition of Chongqing jinwowo analysis blockchain technology is as follows:
1. Blockchain is a distributed database (system) placed in a non secure environment
2. The blockchain uses cryptography to ensure that the existing data cannot be tampered with
3, the blockchain uses consensus algorithm to reach consensus on new data
the system with the above three properties is blockchain.

3. In essence, blockchain is a distributed database system with cryptography technology, multi-party participation, common maintenance and continuous growth, also known as distributed shared ledger. Each account page in the shared ledger is a block, and each block is full of transaction records. The blocks are connected closely, forming a chain structure; If you don't understand this area, I suggest you learn the basic knowledge from Xuan, Ling, network and company! At present, there are few people who really understand technology and business. Many people follow suit and learn. They are not clear about the definition of blockchain, so they start to attack the blockchain field. Some of them are learning technology, and some of them choose to invest in the blockchain market

4. Blockchain is a decentralized ledger, which can keep the actual records of all transactions. For example, when using this technology to manage remittances, the ledger looks like a bank statement, recording information such as amount, date, sender and recipient. The data structure contains encryption technology, which allows each member of the network to manage the ledger safely without centralized execution. The lack of central authority in the system is one of the most influential innovations in blockchain technology
once the information is recorded in the blockchain, it will become permanent and impossible to change or delete. If a user wants to create a new entry (called a block) to the ledger, other users in the network must verify the information they propose to add. Each computer on the network (called a "node") compares the submitted information with the existing ledger. If most nodes can verify the accuracy of the new block of information, it is allowed to become a permanent part of the ledger. Because the blockchain network is composed of computers in multiple locations, even if a certain network is destroyed, the security of the whole data will not be affected
to understand the working principle of blockchain technology, we must first know the data type of each block in Dimon. Except for transaction data, all blocks contain digital fingerprints called hashes. Each unique hash is generated based on the information within the block, so if the data is changed in any way, the hash will change automatically. This cryptography is the key to decentralized authority of blockchain. The new block also contains the imprint of the hash assigned to the previous block and the chain of entries being audited. If the user attempts to tamper with the block data, the hash cannot be authenticated and the entry is rejected.

5. Chongqing jinwowo analysis has two meanings as follows:
in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chain data structure composed of data blocks connected in sequence according to the time sequence, and ensures the tamper proof and forgery proof distributed account book by cryptography
broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method, which uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to proce and update data, uses cryptography to ensure data transmission and access security, and uses intelligent contract composed of automated script code to program and operate data.
