What blockchain can and cannot do
1、 Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. It is essentially a disintermediated database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a bitcoin network transaction, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
2. Application
1. Art instry
ascribe enables artists to declare ownership by using blockchain technology, issue numbered and limited edition works, and target at any type of digital form of art. It even includes a trading market where artists can buy and sell through their websites without any intermediary services
In recent years, bitproof is the most advanced application in many document time stamp applications, which will make the traditional notarization method become the past. Bitproof offers more services than free versions including blocksgin and originstaemp, including one for intellectual property. Interestingly, bitproof recently cooperated with an it school in San Francisco to put their students' academic certificates on the blockchain, completely redefining how to handle and use diplomas and student certificates Development instry colu is the first enterprise to allow other enterprises to issue digital assets. They can "token" all kinds of assets to impress many people. Although the free bitcoin wallet couperparty also allows simple tokens to be issued and traded among other wallet holders, the tokens of colu can be set with various states and types, can be detached from or returned to the system, and can be stored on BitTorrent's network when the data stored on the blockchain is too large4. Real estate instry
they plan to make the whole instry chain process more modern and solve various problems faced by everyone when participating in real estate, including naming process, land registration, agency, etc
5, Internet of things
a possible application scenario is: generate corresponding behavior through transaction, assign address to each device, inject a certain fee into the address, and perform relevant actions, so as to achieve the application of Internet of things. Similar to: PM2.5 monitoring point data acquisition, server leasing, webcam data call, DNS server, etc
6. Insurance instry in the past two years, the hottest topic in the field of science and technology can not be separated from blockchain technology. This underlying technology, born out of bitcoin, has proved its highly secure and reliable architecture and algorithm design with more than seven years of stable operation. At the same time, with innovative technologies such as distributed ledger and smart contract, it has opened up a huge imagination space for instrial upgrading of many instries. Some instry experts even predict that blockchain technology will set off the second Internet revolution
extended materials:
in 2008, Nakamoto proposed the concept of "blockchain" in the white paper on bitcoin, and established bitcoin network in 2009, developing the first block, namely "Genesis block"
the shared value system of blockchain was first imitated by many cryptocurrencies, and improved in workload proof and algorithm, such as equity proof and scrypt algorithm. Subsequently, the blockchain ecosystem has been evolving all over the world, with the emergence of ICO for the first token sale, Ethereum for smart contract blockchain, "asset token sharing economy with light ownership and heavy right to use" and blockchain countries
at present, people are using this shared value system to develop decentralized applications (DAPP) in all walks of life, and build decentralized autonomous organizations and decentralized autonomous communities (DAS) around the world
what is a blockchain? How does it work
bitcoin has become the trend of modern Internet, followed by blockchain. It is said that blockchain technology will lead to fundamental changes in Internet operation, enterprise operation and everything else
but what is blockchain? Most of us don't know much about blockchain. If you want to understand blockchain, you can read this article carefully
what is a blockchain? In the simplest terms, blockchain is a distributed ledger
to understand what this means, let's first look at its opposite: a centralized ledger. Because blockchain technology starts from finance, we will also use the bank as an example
the following is the process of our bank debit card transaction:
you can buy goods by swiping your card in the store
the merchant sends the bill to your bank to get the agreed amount
your bank will verify whether you are likely to authorize the purchase
banks remit money to businesses
finally, the bank records this information in its ledger
there are a lot of technologies involved here, but basically that's it. The last step is important - the bank keeps track of all transactions made by the customer. This ledger goes all the way back to the first transaction the bank made
the ledger is kept, maintained and supervised by the bank. You can read it in your online bank account, but you can't change it. The bank is in full control. If it decides to make a change, there's nothing you can do
it is crucial that if hackers can access the bank's ledger, it may lead to many problems. They can change the account balance to make it look like some transaction never happened, and so on
that's why distributed ledger is so cool
blockchain network visualization
if the bank operates on a distributed ledger, each member of the bank will have a of the ledger. Whenever any member of the bank makes a purchase, they will tell all other members of the bank
each member validates the transaction and adds it to the ledger (the added record is called a "block"). This has some important benefits because there are no centralized permissions to manipulate records. Hacker access to one ledger won't be a big problem because other ledgers can easily verify it
on the other hand, it requires a lot of work. In short, the second system is blockchain (at least in the financial scenario)
as mentioned above, blockchain is a decentralized transaction list. If I send Xiaoming two bitcoins, I will send a message to everyone in the network, saying "I am sending Xiaoming two bitcoins", and they will record the transaction<
bitcoin and blockchain
let's take bitcoin as an example to illustrate
bitcoin transaction
but the transaction must be verified. This is where blockchain technology has become a bit more complex. Each bitcoin wallet (which we will complete in one second) has a public and private key
you use your private key to send transaction requests to other members of the network and confirm that you have cryptocurrency in your account. If they do, they allow transactions to register on the ledger
the mechanism of public / private key system is very complex, but it comes down to that every transaction is verifiable and secure< However, the computing cost of the whole system is very high. Everyone who updates the ledger needs a lot of authority to validate transactions and modify the ledger. This is where mining comes in. People who verify and modify use their own computing resources, and each time they get a small transaction fee
and they're using a lot of electricity to do it
in this way, each transaction will be verified and added to the ledger, and the person who performs the verification and modification will be paid. This is a reasonable system
at the same time, it is also very safe. To change a single block, you have to change each subsequent block. After all this is done, validation will fail because other copies of the chain will show someone tampered with one
how to define blockchain is a difficult problem
although the mechanism behind blockchain technology is not always intuitive, it seems that it is not too difficult to explain what blockchain is. But what we're describing here is the traditional definition
we can use this special type of blockchain for a wide range of applications;, Such as cryptocurrency, sharing medical information, sending security messages and so on. But more blockchain like technologies are being developed for other uses
for example, companies may use internal blockchains to manage problem tracking in software. Each block in the chain may represent a problem, and users can publish updates to the network. But is this a blockchain? In this case, the ledger is not public, it is only visible within the company
some people will say that this is not a blockchain
other blockchain like technologies are not encrypted. Are they still blockchain? What if it's centrally managed but uses other blockchain features? What defines the lowest level of blockchain technology? There is no consensus on these issues
what is a blockchain wallet
we usually hear people talk about bitcoin wallets, Ethernet wallets and other cryptocurrency specific wallets. But wallet technology can be used in any system that uses blockchain
a wallet is the software or hardware that "saves" your cryptocurrency. But it doesn't really have anything, it's just a place to store public and private keys. This information allows you to access the currency shown in the public ledger
the wallet is the only record of the key. So if you lose it, you will no longer be able to access your cryptocurrency
in the future of blockchain, how will it change our lives
one important thing about blockchain is that it is a public resource and no one really owns it because everyone owns it
blockchain is more than science fiction. We don't need to understand the mechanism behind this technology, but you need to understand that it may completely change our lives in the next 20 years
that sounds bold, but remember, 20 years ago, we were browsing the Internet on Netscape, using the most advanced Motorola flip phone, and buying our first DVD player. At that time, if we imagined that the computer could be held in our hands, and that we could buy a car, pay for money and watch movies on it, it would be considered a fantasy
although the impact of blockchain may not be as obvious as the Internet or as tangible as mobile phones, blockchain will effectively solve many troubles in daily life. For example, intermediary entrapment, transaction delay and so on. In our present life, middlemen can be seen everywhere. We take it for granted that they are a part of our life. If one day, these intermediaries no longer exist, you will find that the world will become a different one
imagine that by 2040, blockchain may become a mature and widely used technology. One day, you can't do without blockchain, just as you can't do without the Internet now, you will be surprised that this decentralized accounting technology has become a part of your lifestyle<
first praise
+ 1
because the library led by Facebook this time is mainly a virtual currency for mobile payment. Therefore, it is also considered as a challenge to the traditional financial instry in the United States . Because we know that the traditional financial instry in the United States uses credit cards for payment, but the virtual currency launched by Facebook is likely to have the most severe impact on the credit card system of the traditional financial instry in the United States. So it is also possible to break the monopoly on the U.S. financial instry. So this is good news for the whole society and the whole world
But we all know that as an American company, Facebook will first consider the interests of Americans, not the interests of the whole world. Therefore, it is impossible for the United Nations to make a very favorable decision at present"FB (corruption)" is a common term on the Internet. They call themselves "FB" elements, and some even give their organizations a fashionable name
"FB" activities are not limited to playing with cars. Its contents include model air show, karaoke, photography competition, swimming, rock climbing, playing ball, skiing and so on. Some "FB" organizations will also carry out some exchange activities. For example, a certain "FB" organization in Chongqing and a certain "FB" organization in Cheng formed a "Cheng Chongqing joint" FB "team and went to a" Western Grand Canyon hot spring "dozens of kilometers away from Yibin City to have a unique outdoor activity. They took a lot of photos and put them on the Internet for netizens to read. They not only publicized the interest of "FB", but also showed the image of the two organizations, which left a deep impression on each other
they call themselves "corrupt elements", but they are not corrupt at all. They all play with their own cars and spend their own money. Compared with those real corrupt elements who drive on the bus and can pay for everything, they have a very different realm.
Is Facebook really just trying to improve its AI technology by recording users' voice conversations? Facebook lets its contractors listen to and record specific voice conversations that users make through the Facebook Messenger chat platform. According to the report, the reason why Facebook allows contractors to record users' voice conversations is to improve its artificial intelligence (AI) technology. A Facebook spokesman told CNBC: "like apple and Google, we have suspended manual audio censorship more than a week ago
Facebook has been exposed to monitor users' voice calls again. Facebook admits that it has hired an external contractor to transcribe users' voice recorded in messenger into text. Facebook's explanation of this behavior is the basis for AI learning and comparison. At the same time, Facebook also emphasizes that these voice sources are completely anonymous, And it's all agreed by the provider. However, Facebook did not inform the contractor employees of the purpose of doing so. External contractors did not know the source of voice, let alone why Facebook converted voice into text. In the face of queries from many users, Facebook chose to suspend the work of voice transcription
let's talk about the most understandable one. Isn't garbage sorting advocated now? In order to better promote the implementation of waste classification policy and effectively enhance the well-being of residents, Hangzhou Qulian Technology Co., Ltd. and Xi'an Sikes Internet of things Co., Ltd. jointly developed the first "Qulian intelligent waste classification system" based on "blockchain + aiot" technology in China. This system has been implemented in many communities and instrial parks in Hangzhou, such as "new lake Shangri La", "new lake film" and "cloud fox science and Technology Park", and has been widely praised.
