Ethereum is no longer decentralized

1. Ethereum is a new and open blockchain platform, which allows anyone to build and use decentralized applications running through blockchain technology in the platform
just like bitcoin, Ethereum is neither controlled nor owned by anyone - it is an open source project created by many people around the world. Different from bitcoin protocol, Ethereum's design is very flexible and adaptable. It is very easy to create new applications on the Ethereum platform. With the release of homestead, anyone can use the applications on this platform safely
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. It does not give users a series of preset operations, but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes. In this way, it can be used as a platform for many types of decentralized blockchain applications
in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator.

2. I think it's similar. I've seen i-swap recently. I'm going to get to know it.

Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (also known as "Ethereum")

The token on the

blockchain is called ether, and the code is eth. It can be traded in many foreign exchange markets of cryptocurrency, and it is also the medium used to pay transaction fees and computing services on Ethereum

the concept of Ethereum was first proposed by vitalik buterin, a programmer, from 2013 to 2014, inspired by bitcoin, with the general meaning of "next generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform", and began to develop through ICO crowdfunding in 2014. As of February 2018, Ethernet is the second highest cryptocurrency in market value, second only to bitcoin

extended data:

Ethereum platform has no characteristics and value. Like programming languages, it's up to entrepreneurs and developers to decide what to use. However, it is clear that some application types benefit more from the functions of Ethereum than others. Ethereum is especially suitable for those applications that automatically interact directly between points or promote group coordination activities across networks

for example, coordinate the application of point-to-point market, or the automation of complex financial contracts. Bitcoin enables indivials to exchange money without the help of financial institutions, banks or governments. The impact of Ethereum may be more profound

in theory, any complex financial activities or transactions can be automatically and reliably carried out on Ethereum with coding. In addition to financial applications, any application scenario with high requirements for trust, security and persistence, such as asset registration, voting, management and Internet of things, will be affected by Ethereum platform on a large scale

First of all, we need to understand what is MLM:

MLM refers to the illegal behavior of organizers and development personnel to obtain wealth by calculating and paying remuneration to the developed personnel based on the number or performance of the personnel directly or indirectly developed, or requiring the developed personnel to pay certain fees to obtain the qualification to join. The essence of MLM is "Ponzi scheme", that is to say, the money of later comers is distributed to the income of former comers

However, the new type of MLM does not restrict personal freedom, does not accept ID cards and mobile phones, and does not take classes collectively. Instead, it uses capital operation as a banner to pull people to cheat money, drives luxury cars, wears gold and silver, and uses money to attract your relatives and friends to join in, and finally makes you lose all your money

then judge whether the ether coin is a kind of MLM, whether you need membership fee, whether you need to ask your relatives and friends to join

extended materials:

Ethereum is an underlying technology platform on which developers can create distributed applications. With the application, there will be transactions. With a transaction, you need money to complete the transaction. In this way, money has value, and investors' investment has a return. If the transaction volume on the platform is larger and larger, the demand for money will be higher and higher, and the money will be more and more valuable

from the perspective of image, bitcoin creates a kind of digital gold, while Ethereum creates a country, and Ethereum is the credit currency of the country

after bitcoin, there are thousands of digital virtual currencies in the world, many of which are completely deceptive in the guise of "digital currency". Previously, Haikou Municipal Public Security cracked down on a pyramid selling organization called "Eurasian currency", which operated on the internet pyramid selling platform, making more than 40000 investors cheated, involving 4.06 billion yuan. The field of virtual currency has just started, so we need to be cautious

5. In fact, the rise and fall of digital currency is a normal situation. The key is to see whether you are optimistic about its long-term value. Relatively speaking, if the long-term value is worth investing in, then the short-term decline can be ignored. At the same time, if you don't know much about digital currency users, it is recommended to choose a reliable and good platform for investment. The investment period needs more than six years, Word of mouth should always be good, you can take a look at AEX, fire coin these two, but also more reliable, you can also understand their own network first

6. Ethereum is not a kind of currency, but a decentralized intelligent protocol. It can be understood as a huge global account book. The logic of this intelligent protocol does not need a specific server to support its daily operation. Instead, it is the protocol terms given by the executors before entering among the scattered users. This is an application evolved from decentralization
compared with bitcoin, we can find that Ethereum is more difficult to develop a new encryption technology than bitcoin. This breakthrough has greatly reced the development cost and time for developers who apply blockchain technology. The emergence of Ethereum once again reiterated the need to split the center, as well as the feasibility and advantages of decentralized distributed applications, to the existing economic market, the financial sector a new direction of development and throw to the society a new entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities.

The decentralization of blockchain refers to the form of social relations and content generation formed in the process of blockchain development. It is a new network content proction process relative to "centralization"

blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a decentralized 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 batch of bitcoin network transactions, which is used to verify the effectiveness of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block

blockchain is unified in the whole network, so it is logically centralized. From the perspective of architecture, blockchain is based on peer-to-peer network, so it is decentralized. From the perspective of governance, blockchain makes it difficult for a few people to control the whole system through consensus algorithm, so it is decentralized

extended data:

characteristics of blockchain Decentralization:

decentralization, not without the center, but by the node to freely choose the center, freely determine the center. In short, centralization means that the center determines the node. The node must depend on the center, and the node cannot survive without the center

in a decentralized system, anyone is a node, and anyone can be a center. Any center is not permanent, but phased, and no center is mandatory for nodes

with the diversification of network service forms, the decentralized network model becomes more and more clear and possible. After the rise of Web2.0, the services provided by Wikipedia, Flickr, blogger and other network service providers are decentralized. Any participant can submit content, and Internet users can create or contribute content together

8. Whether a currency is counterfeit depends on whether it meets the basic characteristics of blockchain. Blockchain is divided into public chain and private chain. The public chain is a block chain based on the principle of decentralized open consensus, which has two characteristics: 1. Decentralized, single point can not be controlled; 2; 2. Open, all people or institutions can participate in any part of the blockchain ecology; Private chain or alliance chain is a local decentralized and non open block chain based on internal or self trust. It has two characteristics: 1. Local decentralization. For example, several banks run one node and have equal computing power; 2. In closed operation, only officially designated participants can participate in the core work of blockchain operation, and even block queries are limited or not open to the outside world at all; Ethereum started as a community project and is still on the road of decentralization. However, Ethereum chooses to become more and more decentralized and public chain like bitcoin. At present, Qube is the largest trading platform of Ethereum in China, followed by oke, and the trading volume of bitmex abroad is not small. Its recognition is second only to BTC.

9. Many people are optimistic about the decentralized exchange. The private key is in their own hands and they enjoy complete control over the user's assets. However, e to the congestion of Ethereum's public chain, the trading experience of the decentralized exchange on Ethereum is not very good and slow. At present, the most promising is the X protocol, but if the problem of Ethereum is not solved, its application problems can not be started at all
in comparison, the decentralized exchange based on EOS is much better, because its TPS is fast enough to handle the decentralized application at the present stage, and its speed is much better than that on Ethereum. Whaleex, in particular, is very smooth in use, with fast transactions. It is not inferior to those centralized exchanges. Among all decentralized exchanges, whaleex is excellent
therefore, I think the decentralized exchange on EOS may break out faster than that on Ethereum, especially the whale exchange, which will be a dark horse. The smart contract of their home is also the only one that has passed the slow fog security audit. The security is particularly high and the use is assured.

10. Centralized trading platform, because the transaction data is not on the chain, so as long as there is a matching opponent single, the transaction speed is extremely fast. At the same time, the operation steps of the centralized trading platform are simple, the threshold of use is low, and it can provide rich trading pairs, so more users will choose the centralized trading platform, and more users will have better trading depth, which further promotes the transaction speed of orders on the centralized trading platform
e to the need to link transaction data and wait for miners to pack and broadcast transaction confirmation, the transaction speed of decentralized transaction is slow. The operation steps of decentralized trading platform are relatively complex, and the use threshold is higher. When it comes to the transaction of different blockchain assets, such as bitcoin and Ethereum, it needs more complex cross chain technology, and many decentralized trading platforms can't realize it, so the supported transactions are less than the centralized trading platform
celletf is a comprehensive application platform for defi (celletf. IO), which relies on the deployment of Ethereum public chain, including a number of smart contracts / protocols, passive bidding mechanism and ETF primary and secondary al market architecture. With only one site, it can embrace the unlimited possibilities of defi.
