1. Go is an open source programming language, which makes it easy to construct simple, reliable and efficient software. If you want to learn this programming language, you should first find a good tutorial. Brother Lian's go language + blockchain training has recently published a new set of go language tutorial, and the teacher's speaking is very good

with the global hot discussion of the concept of "blockchain", the application of blockchain technology has been quietly added to the daily life scenes such as finance, logistics, credit reference, manufacturing and retail. Some experts have shown that the future blockchain will be closely related to people's lives, and the integration of blockchain technology and people's daily life is the general trend

the popularity of the blockchain market has triggered a large number of talents demand based on blockchain technical personnel, and the popularity of blockchain talents is rising at the speed of light. According to the "2018 blockchain high salary list" released by lagou.com, Tencent, Xiaomi, Suning, Jingdong and other domestic enterprise giants have released many high salary blockchain post demands, trying to explore blockchain related technologies and applications. It is also pointed out in the list that the demand for high salary jobs is mainly based on blockchain related technical jobs, among which Suning and Keda have been given the highest monthly salary of 100k

the huge market demand for technical talents will inevitably lead to the explosive emergence and growth of the whole blockchain training market. Most of the training modes can be divided into online training, traditional IT organization training, and offline short-term training camps, which mainly focus on high-end forms. However, in the process of the hot market evolution, there are also a variety of blockchain training chaos: lecturers' qualifications are watered down, and even the most basic names are not disclosed, the syllabus is opaque, and the teaching quality is shrinking, Unreasonable class arrangement and uneven training fees and so on

with the large-scale development of the whole blockchain training market, brother company ecation, together with Yin Cheng, a senior blockchain expert, and his Tsinghua Shuimu Weiming team, has set up a blockchain college. With its professional and powerful team of technical lecturers, detailed and comprehensive curriculum system, and a large number of authentic enterprise blockchain projects, it aims to deepen the blockchain teaching and training field, And train more professional technical talents for enterprises and society<

Yin Cheng, a senior blockchain technology expert, graated from Tsinghua University, is the dean of brother Lian blockchain college. He once served as Google Algorithm Engineer, the world's most valuable expert in the field of Microsoft blockchain, and the gold medal lecturer of Microsoft tech.ed conference. Proficient in C / C + +, python, go language, sicikit learn and tensorflow.

2.

One of the characteristics of blockchain projects (especially public chains) is open source. Through open source code, to improve the credibility of the project, so that more people can participate. But the open source code also makes it easier for attackers to attack blockchain system. In the past two years, there have been a number of hacker attacks. Recently, the anonymous currency verge (xvg) was attacked again. The attacker locked a vulnerability in the xvg code, which allowed malicious miners to add false timestamps on the block, and then quickly dig out new blocks. In a few hours, the attacker obtained nearly $1.75 million worth of digital currency. Although the subsequent attack was successfully stopped, no one can guarantee whether the attacker will attack again in the future

of course, blockchain developers can also take some measures

one is to use professional code audit services,

the other is to understand the security coding specifications and take preventive measures

the security of cryptographic algorithm

with the development of quantum computer, it will bring a major security threat to the current cryptosystem. Blockchain mainly relies on elliptic curve public key encryption algorithm to generate digital signature for secure transactions. Currently, the most commonly used ECDSA, RSA, DSA, etc. can not withstand quantum attacks in theory, and there will be greater risks. More and more researchers begin to pay attention to cryptographic algorithms that can resist quantum attacks

of course, in addition to changing the algorithm, there is another way to improve the security:

refer to bitcoin's treatment of public key address to rece the potential risk of public key disclosure. As users, especially bitcoin users, the balance after each transaction is stored in a new address to ensure that the public key of the address where bitcoin funds are stored is not leaked

security of consensus mechanism

the current consensus mechanisms include proof of work (POW), proof of stake (POS), delegated proof of stake (dpos), practical Byzantine fault tolerance (pbft), etc

POW faces 51% attack. Because POW depends on computing power, when the attacker has the advantage of computing power, the probability of finding a new block will be greater than that of other nodes. At this time, the attacker has the ability to cancel the existing transaction. It should be noted that even in this case, the attacker can only modify his own transaction, but not the transaction of other users (the attacker does not have the private key of other users)

in POS, attackers can attack successfully only when they hold more than 51% token, which is more difficult than 51% computing power in pow

in pbft, when the malicious nodes are less than 1 / 3 of the total nodes, the system is secure. Generally speaking, any consensus mechanism has its own conditions. As an attacker, we also need to consider that once the attack is successful, the value of the system will return to zero. At this time, the attacker does not get any other valuable return except destruction

for the designers of blockchain projects, they should understand the advantages and disadvantages of each consensus mechanism, so as to select an appropriate consensus mechanism or design a new consensus mechanism according to the needs of the scene

security of smart contract

smart contract has the advantages of low operation cost and low risk of human intervention, but if there are problems in the design of smart contract, it may bring greater losses. In June 2016, the Dao, the most popular funding project of Ethereum, was attacked. The hacker obtained more than 3.5 million Ethereum coins, which later led to the bifurcation of Ethereum into Eth and etc

there are two aspects of the proposed measures:

one is to audit the security of smart contract, and the other is to follow the principle of smart contract security development

the security development principles of smart contract are: to be prepared for possible errors, to ensure that the code can correctly handle the bugs and vulnerabilities; Release smart contracts carefully, do well in function test and security test, and fully consider the boundary; Keep smart contracts simple; Pay attention to the threat intelligence of blockchain and check and update in time; Be clear about the characteristics of blockchain, such as calling external contracts carefully

security of digital wallet

there are three main security risks in digital wallet: first, design defects. At the end of 2014, a user lost hundreds of digital assets e to a serious random number problem (repeated r value). Second, the digital wallet contains malicious code. Third, the loss of assets caused by the loss or damage of computers and mobile phones

there are four main countermeasures:

one is to ensure the randomness of the private key

The second is to check the hash value before installing the software to ensure that the digital wallet software has not been tampered with

The third is to use cold wallet

The fourth is to back up the private key

3. Introction to seven core technologies of blockchain operation on January 15, 2018
1. Blockchain links
as the name suggests, blockchain is a chain composed of blocks. Each block is divided into block head and block body (including transaction data). The block head includes the prevhash value (also known as hash value) of the previous block used to realize the block link and the random number (nonce) used to calculate the mining difficulty. The hash value of the previous block is actually the hash value of the head of the previous block, and the random number calculation rule determines which miner can obtain the right to record the block
2. Consensus mechanism
blockchain is accompanied by the birth of bitcoin, which is the basic technology architecture of bitcoin. Blockchain can be understood as an Internet-based decentralized accounting system. A decentralized digital currency system like bitcoin requires the consistency of accounting of honest nodes without a central node, which needs blockchain to complete. Therefore, the core of blockchain technology is a consensus mechanism to reach a consensus on the legitimacy of transactions between indivials without mutual trust without central control
there are four main types of consensus mechanisms in blockchain: pow, POS, dpos and distributed consistency algorithm
3. Unlocking script
script is an important technology to realize automatic verification and contract execution on blockchain. Every output of every transaction does not point to an address in the strict sense, but to a script. A script is like a set of rules that constrain how the receiver can spend the asset locked on the output
the validation of transactions also depends on scripts. At present, it depends on two kinds of scripts: Lock script and unlock script. Locking script is a condition added to the output transaction, which is realized by a script language and located in the output of the transaction. The unlocking script corresponds to the locking script. Only when the conditions required by the locking script are met can the assets corresponding to the script be spent, which is located in the input of the transaction. Many flexible conditions can be expressed by script language. Interpretation script is similar to the "virtual machine" in our programming field, which runs in every node of the blockchain network in a distributed way
4. Transaction rules
blockchain transaction is not only the basic unit of a block, but also the actual effective content recorded by the blockchain. A blockchain transaction can be a transfer, or the deployment of smart contracts and other transactions
as far as bitcoin is concerned, a transaction refers to a single payment transfer. The transaction rules are as follows:
1) the input and output of the transaction cannot be empty
2) for each input of a transaction, if its corresponding utxo output can be found in the current transaction pool, the transaction will be rejected. Because the current transaction pool is the transaction not recorded in the blockchain, and each input of the transaction should come from the confirmed utxo. If it is found in the current trading pool, it is Shuanghua trading
3) for each input in a transaction, the corresponding output must be utxo
4) each input unlocking script must verify the compliance of the transaction together with the corresponding output locking script
5. Transaction priority
the priority of blockchain transaction is determined by the blockchain protocol rules. For bitcoin, the priority of a transaction to be included in a block is determined by the time when the transaction is broadcast to the network and the amount of the transaction. With the increase of transaction broadcast time on the network and the increase of transaction chain age, the priority of transaction will be improved and eventually be included by the block. For Ethereum, the priority of the transaction is also related to the transaction fee that the publisher is willing to pay. The higher the transaction fee that the publisher is willing to pay, the higher the priority that the transaction is included in the block
6. Merkle proof
the original application of Merkle proof is bitcoin, which was described and created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Bitcoin blockchain uses Merkle proof to store transactions in each block. So that the transaction can not be tampered with, but also easy to verify whether the transaction is included in a specific block
7. RLP
RLP (recursive length prefix) is one of the main encoding methods of object serialization in Ethereum. Its purpose is to encode the sequence of arbitrary nested binary data.
4. "A network-based computer processing technology, corresponding to centralized. As the performance of personal computer has been greatly improved and the popularity of its use, it is possible to distribute the processing power to all computers on the network. Distributed computing is a concept opposite to centralized computing. The data of distributed computing can be distributed in a large area
5. It's a public list of all the transactions that have been sent. It ensures that everyone knows the real owner (address) of each bitcoin. All full function nodes on the network will keep a of the blockchain< Br > block is an independent unit in the blockchain. Each block contains the hash value of the previous block (so it is impossible for someone to delete or modify any block on the blockchain without making some hash values on the blockchain mismatched), as well as as as many unconfirmed transactions that can be found on the network, and a number called nonce random number. Someone who is creating a block must find a suitable nonce random number so that the hash value of the block is lower than a certain threshold (the target value). This can only be done by trying all the random numbers one after another until a random number with the desired hash value is found. The lower the target value is, the more difficult it is to find a suitable random number. Deliberately making block creation so difficult is to prevent someone from spending bitcoin, and then create and promote his own blockchain that does not include the transaction that shows that bitcoin has been spent just now, erase the transaction record once and allow him to spend bitcoin twice. When a valid block is created, it will be distributed to the whole network, and then search for the next block based on this block.
6. When someone does something wrong, people's first reaction is to stop him. However, e to the factors of status and timing, sometimes direct check will have the opposite effect
I think the first step is to make sure that your parents are not deceived, because parents may be better at communicating. Then work with your parents to stop your uncle
I think you can find one or two professionals to teach your uncle, such as your teacher, and you can also find the content of online rumor refutation.
