Blockchain 100 questions
what is centralization
the so-called centralization means "ownership" or ownership by the company. For example, Tencent's q-coin, which is issued by Tencent, is a kind of centralized electronic currency, including the total amount and the issuing method, is supervised and controlled by Tencent. You can use it, trade and go shopping, but you always have to operate in the framework of Tencent, and the final right of interpretation belongs to Tencent
the issuing mode of bitcoin is preset by the program and encryption algorithm, and runs on multiple nodes all over the world. No one or organization can modify it (everyone has his own account book, so it is impossible for one person to control everyone's account book at the same time. If there is such a technology, why should it be so complicated, If you want to blackmail money into your account, you will be the richest man in the world. There is no one left, And it is not controlled by any single person or organization
take an example: for example, Lao Zhang borrows 100 yuan from Lao Li, but Lao Li is afraid that he will default, so he asks the village head to do notarization and write down the account. This is called centralization. But if you don't find the village head, you can use the loudspeaker to shout in the village: "I Lao Li lent Lao Zhang 100 yuan! Please put it in the account book. "We all put this account in our own account book. This is called decentralization
anyone who transfers money between them will release information through loudspeakers. After receiving the information, everyone will record the transaction in their own account book. With distributed ledgers, it doesn't matter if Lao Zhang or Lao Li's ledgers are lost, because Lao Zhao, Lao Ma, Lao Wang and other families have ledgers
the main advantages of blockchain are that it does not need intermediary participation, the whole process is open and transparent, and the cost is low, and the data security is high
at present, blockchain is in a stage where everyone talks about blockchain, but can't perceive its actual technical charm. Since 2017, it has graally come into our sight, and we have graally realized that bitcoin is more fierce than real estate speculation (the price of mining machinery has skyrocketed! The news is on the screen But I still don't know
so, in which fields can blockchain be applied, what kind of changes will it bring to our future life
the core key: everyone has an account book, everyone has an account book, and the information recorded in each person's account book is consistent and synchronous, and the information is completely transparent. If it is fake, it will be the public enemy of the whole people, which greatly increases the cost of data fraud
core key 2: decentralization, which does not need a central system to manage data, prevents some people from changing data and damages the interests of the majority of people
Application:
1. Account security and privacy protection: currency transfer, exchange, payment system. Blockchain can help prevent data manipulation and fraud, prevent distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), and effectively protect users' network privacy. Key words: anti counterfeiting, anti-counterfeiting, loan payment
2. Copyright regulation and interest disputes: for example, when a song is downloaded, from the author to the procer and then to the singer, they can get payment in real time through the blockchain, without having to wait for a long time like the traditional way, or even get no reward e to right disputes. Instead of waiting for publishers to provide royalty checks, creators can freely control the process from publishing to payment through blockchain application. Key words: real time receipt, no property dispute
3. Internet of things + artificial intelligence: the intelligent devices in the Internet of things based on the blockchain will be used to monitor the real-time situation of urban infrastructure such as bridges, roads, power grids, etc. the blockchain can connect these intelligent devices together for unified management to help them monitor more efficiently. This will help people better understand how to build a smart city in the future. Key words: unified monitoring, intelligent city
4: proof of existence: in life, once you are asked to prove that you are you, that your mother is your mother, that you have never been married, that the house belongs to you, and so on, things seem very simple. Once it falls on you, it is a great trouble. The application of blockchain technology can perfectly solve the above embarrassment. At that time, all the information that belongs to you will be recorded accurately and can not be tampered with. No one has the right to change it. When the technology develops to a certain stage, birth certificate and marriage certificate may be recorded on the blockchain. Keywords: no keywords
in addition to the application scenarios mentioned above, blockchain technology can also be applied to e-commerce, data storage, logistics and other fields. As long as we grasp the characteristics of blockchain technology, it will become easy to understand.
1. Jinrong China Financial Instry Co., Ltd.
this is a digital currency trading platform in Hong Kong. At the beginning of trading, it developed on the principle of safeguarding the rights and interests of customers. Similarly, in order to expand trading customers, the company launched the privilege of opening accounts free of charge, and gave customers some concessions in some festivals, This is an important reason why the enterprise takes the first place in the domestic formal blockchain platform
2. Bitfinex
is a digital currency trading platform in Hong Kong, China. It is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. It occupies an important position in the world's cryptocurrency trading and circulation. It also provides the world's most liquid registration policy and plays an important role in the world's trading operations, At present, it occupies the second place in the domestic regular blockchain platform
3. Fire coin network
this is an earlier digital currency trading platform in China, mainly trading bitcoin. As the third instry of domestic regular blockchain platform, it is the trading platform with the largest bitcoin trading volume in China. Many new digital asset trading platforms have been developed under the company, For the future development of the foundation
This is a digital currency trading platform jointly established by some digital currency enthusiasts, and its founder is Zhao CHANGPENG. In fact, this trading platform didn't attract much attention at the beginning. With the continuous operation of the company and the founder's understanding of digital currency, this enterprise has become the top four domestic regular blockchain platforms, which shows the power of this platform This is one of the most popular digital asset trading platforms in the world. There are many kinds of digital currencies for trading, and their main functions are cash out and derivative trading. They are well-known in the world's exchangesblockchain is actually two words, block and chain. Every bill is a block, which is linked together to form a blockchain.
first, at the beginning of bitcoin's operation, Xiaoming was given 200 yuan, and it was stipulated that whoever recorded the account first could get 10 yuan (this is the consensus mechanism, which encourages everyone to agree to do the same thing), Then give you a lot of blank bills, once a transaction occurs, you can fight for bookkeeping
1 one day, Xiao Ming gave Li Si 100 yuan (that's the deal). Then Xiao Ming could roar in the crowd and I gave Li Si 100 yuan (and sign his name). When you hear this, you can fight for bookkeeping.
2 because Wang Wu remembers quickly, he yells in the group when he finishes it first, and I remember well. This is Wang Wu, and he sends the bill to others. Wang Wu remembers very well, and there is no mistake after confirmation (Li Si signed his name), so Wang Wu gets a reward of 10 yuan, Then everyone put the bill on the last page of their books& lt; There can be multiple transactions at a time & gt
3 Wang Wu likes the glory of the king. He always likes a hero, demacia, but it costs 25 yuan, but Wang Wu only costs 10 yuan, which is obviously not enough. Wang Wu starts to think that I can keep my own account. Anyway, I can't see anything from the account book. Soon, Wang Wu got another chance to keep accounts. Besides keeping good records of other accounts, Wang Wu added one. Wang Wu gave Tencent 25 and then announced it in the group
4 while Wang Wu was waiting for demacia, Li Si carefully looked at the bill and found that it was all his own signature, no problem. However, Li Si found that Wang Wu had only 10 yuan to pay for the bill, so he refused. Similarly, everyone refused
5 Wang Wu's plan failed at the cost of wasting a lot of energy without rewards
the above basically explains the process of regional chain,
is the above explanation clear? Do not understand the place, you go to ask, lieyun finance it
The explosive blockchain gives people unlimited fantasy. When many people think about the benefits of blockchain, one of its problems has aroused people's concern, that is, security. Some time ago, 360 discovered a high-risk vulnerability in the blockchain, which can control all the nodes on the EOS. We all know that 51% of the nodes in the blockchain can tamper with the data, let alone 100%. Let's see what's going on
On May 29, 360 Vulcan team announced that it had discovered a series of high-risk security vulnerabilities of EOS platform. It is verified that some of the vulnerabilities can remotely execute arbitrary code on EOS nodes, that is, they can directly control and take over all nodes running on EOS through remote attacks. For more details, please clickTen instry application scenarios of blockchain are listed on Oracle's website, including finance, proction, ecation, media, entertainment, government, retail business, health, medical care, supply chain, insurance and public utilities. Is it very tall? But what I want to say is that these application scenarios, in front of real high-energy blockchain applications, can only hide in the corner and shiver
now the real high-energy application scenario of blockchain is Ponzi application, commonly known as "Ponzi scheme". It is a smart contract type Qianbao, a blockchain game for rolling in and out of money, an ICO for trading, and a global pension platform
Ponzi scheme is one of the oldest application scenarios of our human beings. After Internet plus, the Ponzi scheme has upgraded the Internet + "Internet plus Ponzi scheme". The Internet enabled the Ponzi scheme, so there was an event similar to the 10 billion level of Qianbao. Before the Internet era, there were few Ponzi schemes on such a large scale. They were enabled through the Internet, and paid through mobile app. Finally, they rolled for several years and reached the 10 billion level
the Internet has broken the geographical restrictions, physical restrictions, capital flow restrictions and communication restrictions. As long as you have a mobile phone, you can play Qianbao app. Everyone participates in it, everyone gets into the money, and everyone gives out the money. According to the data of the people involved, it has reached the level of one million. Relatively speaking, the online pyramid scheme (Ponzi scheme 1.0), which still stays on the top of the list, has meetings every day, can't stop brainwashing, and uses violence and illegal means. It's simple and weak. With the rise of blockchain technology, the Ponzi scheme enabled by "blockchain +" can no longer be described as adding wings like a tiger. It is like a chicken changing into a tiger. Like the Internet, the "block chaining +" technology is a solid application to enhance the application scenario. Ponzi's fraud is further upgraded in the two generation of the Internet plus, because of the major improvement and improvement of the scene, turning into Ponzi scheme 3, whose characteristics are mainly in the following aspects:
1, centralization and no summit. The smart contract of blockchain runs automatically, and it does not need human intervention, nor can it be interrupted by human. Code rules are dead and cannot be tampered with. In terms of scene improvement, it solves the biggest pain point of Ponzi scheme for thousands of years, that is, the problem of head running away. Because the head is a program and code, the program of blockchain can exist forever, and no one can delete it. I think this is the biggest breakthrough. This virtual leader is always there. He can't run away, he can't run, he can't change. The rules will never change. He will stick to the Ponzi line for 100 years, 1000 years and 10000 years. It may be said that smart contracts can be iterated, and they can also be manipulated to leave a back door. Yes, but it can be done without iteration. Even if iteration is transparent and visible, it can be seen at a glance with a back door. This is the characteristic of the blockchain smart contract. If you cheat on it, you will get out a under the teacher's eyes. No one will participate in such a smart contract when it is online. Therefore, after technical review and verification, there is no backdoor, fair rules and irreversible smart contract, which can be realized by using blockchain technology. Such reliability, once verified, will never change. This is the certainty of the smart contract. A program or a character's code will not change. It will run one million times and one trillion times, and the result will be consistent and certain
2. The process was transparent. The number, address, account number, amount and time of deposit; Number, address, account number, amount and time of payment; All visible. Blockchain has a public ledger function, which can be viewed by everyone in the world, and the ledger data viewed by everyone is completely consistent. Why does Qianbao burst? Because we can't see his background account, how much money he goes in and how much money he comes out every day, and the details of each transaction. In this way, you can see the assessment of cashing ability before you pay in, and the assessment result is absolutely certain, that is, it will not change after you pay in
3. Complete anonymization. If you've ever heard of zero proof of knowledge. This part can be skipped. In short, some of the things we used to have in the mathematical knowledge base did not have application scenarios after many inventions. Later, it was found that it was easy to use these knowledge for anonymization. The cryptography technology in the blockchain can achieve identity hiding. As we all know, Zhihu can't achieve anonymity in a real sense in terms of technical structure, and blockchain can
The rules are open and fair to all. One yuan in gold, ten yuan in rebate. Everyone is the same rule. It will never change. If you pay one yuan, go to the front and pay for it, then the back will pay for it, and then pay for it. Fair, right? I have reflected on this many times, and I think it is fair5. Sustainable iteration. In the low-level Ponzi scheme, the leader, proct designer, benefit distributor and benefit receiver are often four in one, while the blockchain Ponzi scheme can completely logically separate the four roles. Achieve sustainable iteration. Through collaboration based on socialization, these projects can be iterated on forever. There are now 400 senior engineers who are developing around bitcoin and constantly updating the code. These people can not know anyone. As long as the application is valuable, they can continue to iterate. Which centralized project can be achieved? Even bat level companies can't employ so many professionals scattered around the world. This kind of social iteration is not affected by the changes of a specific person or organization
"blockchain" enabled Ponzi scheme uses different range of blockchain technology, because the technology in this field is still constantly updated, and the application of smart contract has only increased in the past two years. The earliest application of blockchain is bitcoin. Some people think that bitcoin itself has the characteristics of Ponzi scheme. In 2013, I wrote a reply and implicitly pointed out that this new type of Ponzi scheme will have great lethality, because it has the characteristics of no head, open account book, no running away, open and fair rules. Later, I also found that many people around me like Ponzi scheme much more than blockchain technology. As soon as I hear that bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, before I start talking about blockchain technology, I usually walk away in silence. On the contrary, you tell him it's a Ponzi scheme, and then they will ask, where can I buy it? Of course, there is a lot of controversy about whether bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, because the practical application scenarios of bitcoin have been expanding
in the ICO boom, there are a lot of air coins, such as the bogus Ponzi scheme, which has no application scenarios. The buyers probably know that these air coins are Ponzi schemes, but they buy them because the packaging is good. It is estimated that there are hundreds or thousands of such air coins. The scope of the case is all over the world, and the amount involved is more than 10 billion. These ICOS use smart contracts for subscription and distribution, and then circulate in the secondary market by themselves. In this case, there is no guarantee that the money will be paid out, and some people will lose all their money. Many people, blockchain professionals, have always wanted to draw a clear line with these applications, because although these air coins use part of the blockchain technology, they are still a centralized organization or indivial behind them. There are few network nodes, and users directly converge to a certain organization or indivial when they are paid (so they will be swept away), but there is no doubt that, Air money still uses blockchain to make money and raise funds, which solves part of the problem of running away and improves the scope and communication ability of Ponzi scheme. This is an objective situation
and from this year, with the development of technology, the Ponzi scheme, which uses smart contracts to achieve more decentralization, began to surface. Smart contract locking is used for fund in and fund out to complete a complete closed loop of fund in, fund subscription and fund out. It can already be a very pure blockchain application. Some blockchain games can freely admit that they are a Ponzi game after their release. He said: you see, the rules are transparent, the code is visible, the gold entry contract is locked, they can't run away, no one intervenes, and the gold is automatically paid. Early play, early gain. This is a key breakthrough. It's a way to publicly admit that you are a Ponzi scheme, which can't be done by Ponzi scheme 1.0 and Ponzi scheme 2.0 before. Great. It's simple and rough
this solves the major obstacles in the promotion process of Ponzi scheme, which used to rely on brainwashing, but now it depends on code. You see, "this program doesn't run on its own. There's no back door in it, right? Is the leader gone? The capture of Nakamoto does not affect the continued implementation of the program, does it Therefore, the first batch of blockchain Ponzi scams are hooked by code farmers who can understand the code, and then these code farmers stand up again and say that after technical verification, it is really such an effect, driving other people who do not read the code to join
in addition to realizing the Ponzi scheme application scenarios of entertainment, gambling and fraud, blockchain also has the opportunity to make a big show in the Ponzi scheme application scenarios involving the national economy and the people's livelihood and public utilities, which can even greatly enhance people's sense of gain and happiness, and actually improve people's life. For example, the application of national or global public pension platform based on blockchain can solve several major drawbacks of pension: fund misappropriation. The account book is open, the funds are not centralized and locked, and no one can unlock it, except the recipients who meet the rules can pay out the money. There is no possibility of misappropriation
2. Inflation. The current pension system adjusts the coefficient every year according to a series of complex algorithms such as inflation. After adjustment, the recipients are often dissatisfied because the total amount has increased, but the purchasing power has decreased. Using the feature that virtual currency can't be issued, we can control the inflation rate and ensure that we get real money3. Unpredictable problems. It is very difficult for us to predict the pension payment after 30 years, and we can predict it in advance through smart contract. Stimulate the enthusiasm of paying
4. Policy loopholes and fairness. There will be unfairness in the diversification of groups that any pension policy faces. Everyone wants to pay less and get more, pay later and raise earlier. The transparency of blockchain is refined to each account, rather than a set of general policies to plug the loopholes in the implementation process. Everyone is the same, pay more, pay earlier, pay earlier. It can even be inherited and never lostthis has greatly reced the burden and cost of the state's pension management. What the existing pension system can do, after using the blockchain technology, can still be done, such as the state subsidies, just pay money into the contract, lock it in, there will be no fake, such as compulsory payment, and every record is real and traceable. In a word, all the existing systems and rules can be linked to the chain. On the basis of not affecting the existing effect, the efficiency and output level are improved, and fairness is guaranteed. Moreover, because the cost of the huge management system is reced, the absolute number that everyone can get may be increased by a large part. This has played a real effect on improving people's lives, and also has a positive effect
take an example: for example, Sun Tzu asked Li Zi to borrow 100 yuan, but Li Zi was afraid that he would default, so he asked the village head for notarization and added the account. This is called centralization. But if you don't ask the head of the village, you can shout "I'll lend my grandson 100 yuan! Please put it in the account book. "This is called decentralization
in addition, you can refer to bitcoin, the representative proct of blockchain
