Decentralized organization Dao
a brief history of etheric Classics (etc)
etheric classics began with an unfortunate event
in May 2016, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) held a token sale with the goal of establishing a blockchain based venture capital to fund future decentralized applications (dapps) in the Ethereum ecosystem
basically, Dao is a complex smart contract that operates in a decentralized way - computer code that automatically performs tasks between multiple parties when conditions are met
despite its ambitious goals and successful token sales, Dao's code has a major vulnerability that allows attackers to steal eth from decentralized organizations
the attacker took advantage of this vulnerability in June 2016, triggering the infamous Dao hacking event, and maliciously stole eth worth about US $50 million
there is no doubt that Dao hacking has shocked Ethereum community and made eth price drop from $20 to $13
after the Dao hacking, the Ethereum community has to choose from three options
< UL >do nothing and try to bear the consequences of the attack
start soft bifurcation to recover funds
deploy a hard fork to recover the lost eth
both soft and hard bifurcations are significant network upgrades. However, soft fork allows users who are not upgraded to communicate with upgraded users, while hard fork is not backward compatible with previous versions
as developers realize that deploying soft forks will expose the network to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, Ethereum community decides to initiate hard forks to recover the funds lost in Dao hacking attacks
although this scheme is supported by most people, a small number of people in Ethereum community oppose it. They think that "code is the law" and blockchain network should be unchangeable
the failure of both sides to reach an agreement on the solution eventually led to the fragmentation of Ethereum blockchain
those who tried to recover the lost eth chose the hard fork and opened the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain as we know it today, while another group stayed on the original Ethereum classic (etc) chain
what problems does ethereal classic solve
Ethernet classic (etc) is a blockchain platform that allows developers to deploy smart contracts and dapps
although this function is the same as Ethereum (ETH), etc blockchain has two main differences
first of all, Ethereum classic community opposes tampering with distributed ledger and supports the view that "blockchain network cannot and should not be modified"
secondly, although there is no rigid upper limit on the total supply of eth, it is allowed to create 230 million etc at most by adopting the monetary policy of constant supply
as a bonus item, ethereal classic launched Atlantis hard bifurcation last year to increase the interaction with Ethereum and improve the privacy protection of transactions through ZK snarks
the trading platforms recommended by ethereal classic etc are: Fire coin, okex, AAX, etc strong>
De flow means that all social resources can be aggregated and distributed with one click
in a system with many nodes, each node has a high degree of autonomy. Nodes can connect with each other freely to form a new connection unit. Any node may become the stage center, but it does not have the mandatory central control function. The influence between nodes will form a nonlinear causal relationship through the network
This kind of open, flat and equal system phenomenon or structure is called decentralization
extended materials:
compared with the previous Internet (WEB 1.0) era, today's Internet (Web 2.0) content is no longer proced by professional websites or specific groups, but by the participation of the whole Internet users and the creation of equal power levels. Anyone can express their views on the Internet or create original content to proce information together
with the diversification of network service shape, 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
Blockchain blockchain is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism and cryptocurrency algorithm. Is a shared distributed ledger in which transactions are permanently recorded through additional blocks
2, block - block
in the bitcoin network, data will be permanently recorded in the form of files, which we call blocks. A block is a set of records for some or all of the latest bitcoin transactions and is not recorded by other previous blocks
3. Node -- a of the ledger operated by the participants of the blockchain network
Decentralization is a phenomenon or structure, which can only appear or exist in a system with many nodes or in a group with many indivials. The influence between nodes will form nonlinear causality through the network5. Consensus mechanism
consensus mechanism is to complete the verification and confirmation of the transaction in a very short time through the voting of special nodes; For a transaction, if several nodes with unrelated interests can reach a consensus, we can think that the whole network can also reach a consensus
6. POW -- proof of work refers to how much money you get depends on the amount of work you contribute to mining. The better the performance of the computer, the more money you will be given
In POS mode, your "mining" income is directly proportional to your currency age, and has nothing to do with the computing performance of the computer8. Smart contract
smart contract is a kind of computer protocol which aims to spread, verify or execute the contract in an information way. Smart contracts allow trusted transactions without a third party, which are traceable and irreversible
9, time stamp
time stamp refers to the string or encoding information used to identify the recorded time and date. The international standard is ISO 8601
Turing completion refers to the ability of a machine to perform calculations that any other programmable computer can perform DAPP decentralized application is an open source application that runs automatically, stores its data on the blockchain, motivates it in the form of cryptocurrency token, and operates with protocols showing valuable proof Dao, a decentralized autonomous organization, can be regarded as a company that operates without any human intervention and gives all forms of control to a set of unbreakable business rules13. Privatekey - private key
a private key is a string of data that allows you to access a token in a specific wallet. As cryptocurrency, they are hidden except for the owner of the address
14. Publickey -- public key
is paired with private key. The public key can calculate the address of the currency, so it can be used as a certificate to own the address of the currency
15, miner
try to create a block and add it to the computing device or software on the blockchain. In a blockchain network, when a new effective block is created, the system will automatically give the block creator (miner) a certain number of tokens as a reward
16. The mine pool is a fully automatic mining platform, which enables mining machines to contribute their computing power to mine together to create blocks, obtain block rewards, and distribute profits according to the proportion of computing power contribution (that is, mining machines access the mine pool - provide computing power - obtain income)
17, public chain
fully open blockchain, refers to anyone can read, anyone can send transactions and transactions can be effectively confirmed, people all over the world can participate in system maintenance, anyone can read and write data through transactions or mining
18. Private chain
write permission is only for the blockchain of a certain organization or a specific few objects. Read permission can be open to the outside world or restricted to any extent
19, alliance chain
consensus mechanism is a blockchain jointly controlled by several designated institutions
20, side chain
wedged side chains technology, which will realize the transfer of bitcoin and other digital assets between multiple blockchains, which means that users can access the new cryptocurrency system when they use their existing assets
21, cross chain technology
cross chain technology can be understood as a bridge connecting the blockchains, and its main application is to realize atom transaction, asset conversion, information exchange within the blockchain, or solve Oracle problems among the blockchains
22. The hard fork
blockchain has permanent divergence. After the release of the new consensus rules, some nodes that have not been upgraded cannot verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes, and usually the hard fork will occur
23, soft forking
when the new consensus rules are released, nodes that have not been upgraded will proce illegal blocks because they do not know the new consensus rules, which will lead to temporary forking
24, hash -- hash value
generally translated as "hash", but also directly transliterated as "hash". In short, it is a function that compresses messages of any length to a message digest of a fixed length
25, main chain
the word "main chain" comes from the main network (, relative to the test network), that is, the officially online and independent blockchain network
for those who don't know the "jargon" in the currency circle, let's learn it as soon as possible:
1. What is legal currency
legal currency is legal tender, which is issued by the state and the government. It is only guaranteed by the government credit, such as RMB, US dollar and so on
2. What is a token
token, usually translated into token. Token is one of the important concepts in blockchain. Its more well-known name is "token". However, in the view of professional "chain circle" people, its more accurate translation is "token", which represents a proof of rights and interests on the blockchain, rather than currency
There are three elements oftoken
one is digital proof of rights and interests, which must be in the form of digital certificate of rights and interests, representing a right, an inherent and intrinsic value
The second is cryptocurrency, whose authenticity, tamper proof and privacy protection are guaranteed by cryptocurrency Third, it can flow in a network, so it can be verified anytime and anywhere3. What is warehouse building
the establishment of a position in a currency circle is also called opening a position, which refers to a trader's new purchase or sale of a certain amount of digital currency
What is Sohasuoha refers to investing all the principal
What is airdrop
airdrop is a very popular marketing method of cryptocurrency. In order to let potential investors and cryptocurrency enthusiasts get token related information, token teams often air drop tokens
6. What is lockup
position locking generally refers to investors opening a new position opposite to their original position when the market moves in the opposite direction after the sale and purchase contract, which is also called lock, lock order, or even butterfly double flying
What is candy
doughnut candy is a kind of free digital currency issued to users when all kinds of digital currencies are just issued in ICO. It is a kind of momentum and publicity of the project itself by the issuers of virtual currency projects
What is breakingbreaking refers to falling below, and issuing refers to the issuing price of digital currency. Broken currency circle refers to the price of a digital currency falling below the issue price
What is private placementprivate placement is a way to invest in cryptocurrency projects, and it is also the best way for cryptocurrency project founders to raise funds for platform operation
What do you think of the K-line diagram
K-line chart is also called candle chart, Japanese line, yin-yang line, bar line, red and black line, etc., commonly referred to as "K-line". It is based on the opening price, the highest price, the lowest price and the closing price of each analysis cycle
What is hedging
General hedging refers to two transactions which are related to the market, opposite in direction, equal in quantity and balanced in profit and loss. In the futures contract market, buy the same number of positions with different directions. When the direction is determined, close out the positions in the opposite direction and keep the positive direction to make profits
What is the positionposition is a kind of market agreement, which promises the initial position of the sale and purchase contract, and the buyer is long and in the expected position; The selling contract is short and in the expected position
What are the advantagesgood news: refers to the news that the currency gets the attention of the mainstream media, or a breakthrough in the application of a technology, which is concive to stimulating the price rise
14. What is bad news
bad news: news that causes the price of bitcoin to fall, such as technical problems of bitcoin, central bank's crackdown, etc
What is reboundthe phenomenon of currency price rising e to rapid decline in the downward trend. The recovery is less than the decline
What is leverage
leverage trading, as the name suggests, is to use small amount of funds to invest several times the original amount, in order to obtain multiple returns or losses relative to the fluctuations of the investment object
in addition, find other suspicious processes to avoid viruses having daemons or other hidden processes
