Q: What is bitcoin bifurcation and why

A: the reason why bitcoin bifurcates is that the underlying technology of bitcoin is blockchain. Some people begin to think that bitcoin's block capacity is too small and there are always congestion. So they ask for bitcoin's upgrade and expansion. Some people think that bitcoin's function is too single and its future development is not optimistic, So these people ask bitcoin to have the function of building DAPP (decentralized application), and some support it, while others oppose it. This kind of divergence can be understood as the bifurcation of bitcoin

Q: the classification of bitcoin bifurcation

A: there are two kinds of bifurcations of bitcoin, one is soft bifurcations, the other is hard bifurcations, so what is soft bifurcations

Q: the formation principle of soft bifurcation

A: soft fork refers to optimizing and modifying bugs in the original bitcoin network to improve the capacity of the block, such as 2m, 4m or 8m, 16m. The segwit lightning network is the mainstream solution, which is equivalent to a traffic jam on the main road, and the development team will build an auxiliary road to help the main road to divert congestion

this is a mild solution, which can make the original bitcoin network compatible with the network after soft bifurcation, and the main transaction of bitcoin is still on the main chain

Q: disadvantages of soft bifurcation

A: of course, there are disadvantages of soft bifurcation, that is, it can only solve the temporary congestion problem, and after the implementation of soft bifurcation, it can only keep the network unobstructed for a few years. In the future, it needs continuous expansion, which has an impact on the stability of the system

Q: what is hard bifurcation and its formation principle

A: another solution is hard fork, which means to upgrade the bitcoin system again, change the height of the block completely in the form of code, and take bitcoin unlimited as the mainstream solution. Generally speaking, it is equivalent to a traffic jam on the main road. We directly abandon this road and find a place to build a three-dimensional transportation hub on the ground and underground. All new cars use this transportation system, which changes the block size of the bitcoin network and optimizes the processing speed of the network

Q: what are the disadvantages of hard bifurcation

A: but hard bifurcations also have disadvantages, that is, they are not compatible with the original bitcoin system, which requires all people in the bitcoin network to support hard bifurcations. If some people do not support hard bifurcations, there will be two versions of bitcoin network, which will proce two bitcoins. The blockchains of the two bitcoins form a competitive relationship, This kind of internal friction will lead to greater price volatility and uncertainty of bitcoin's future situation

Q: a classic case of bitcoin bifurcation

A: Eth and etc are typical cases of hard bifurcation. The Dao project is a crowdfunding project initiated by slock.it, a blockchain Internet of things company. It was officially released in May 2016. As of June of that year, the Dao project has raised more than $160 million. It wasn't long before the Dao project was targeted by hackers. Because of the huge loopholes in the smart contract, the Dao project was transferred to ether coin with a market value of 50 million US dollars

in order to recover the assets of many investors and stop the panic, vitalik buterin, the founder of Ethereum, finally proposed the idea of hard bifurcation, and finally completed the hard bifurcation in block 1920000 of Ethereum through a majority vote of the community, rolling back all the Ethereum coins occupied by hackers

even though Ethereum hard bifurcates into two chains, some people who believe in the tamper proof property of blockchain still stay on the original chain of Ethereum classic. Today, Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum classic (etc) are ranked in the top 20 in the global cryptocurrency market value, which is one of the reasons why they are regarded as classic cases in the field of hard bifurcations

Q: the difference and influence between soft bifurcation and hard bifurcation

A: for users, soft forking will not proce new bitcoin currency. They only need to understand the transaction mode and K-line characteristics of bitcoin. They only need a mainstream wallet of bitcoin

hard bifurcation will generate new currencies, and there may be more than one new currency. Once the core code of bitcoin is modified and the core code of bitcoin is reconstructed, there may be a second time for the first time, and btc1 and btc23456789 may all happen. Users will be confused. Which kind of coin would be better for me to trade? What kind of bitcoin do I use to pay for a large circulation range? In short, users with dyschooia will crash. Moreover, users need to download wallets of different hard bifurcated systems, which brings complex operation to save and pay bitcoin

however, correspondingly, the user's right to choose has also increased. You can choose the bitcoin code developed by the development team you like and trust. When the bifurcations of bitcoin are not clear, when the soft bifurcations start to activate and the computing power starts to vote, the best way for users to deal with it is to wait and see. Don't recharge and extract bitcoin in the process of bifurcation

in addition, soft fork will change the settlement mode of bitcoin all nodes, and some small settlement will be confirmed by the third party node, namely settlement channel. The settlement channel may incur part of the service charge. Similar to the role and business model of UnionPay

what is bitcoin bifurcation? The difference and influence of soft bifurcation and hard bifurcation

2.

The capacity of a block in bitcoin is 1m (megabytes). A transaction is between 250 and 500 bytes

according to this algorithm, a block contains about 4194.3 transactions

the confirmation time of a block in bitcoin is 10 minutes, so the seven transactions that a block can process per second may sometimes be less than seven

What are the consequences

The bifurcations of

bitcoin are divided into hard bifurcations and soft bifurcations

hard fork means that when the block format or transaction format of bitcoin changes, the UN upgraded nodes refuse to verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes

the upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by the non upgraded nodes, and they continue the chain they think is correct, so they are divided into two chains

What is soft bifurcation

soft bifurcation means that when the data structure of bitcoin transaction changes,

UN upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by upgraded nodes,

and upgraded nodes can also verify the blocks proced by UN upgraded nodes

In the discussion of blockchain, bitcoin and other digital currencies, we often hear the word "bifurcation". So what is bifurcation? What is the effect of bifurcation

blockchain

before talking about bifurcation, popularize a little knowledge of blockchain, so as to help us understand what bifurcation is more easily (if you don't have any concept of blockchain, please read my previous articles, which are all popular words to help you understand what blockchain is)

blockchain, as the name suggests, is a chain composed of blocks. Of course, this kind of chain is just a figurative metaphor. To put it bluntly, data blocks are connected orderly. In bitcoin, the transaction records of bitcoin are stored in the block. The size of the block and the space occupied by the transaction records determine how many transactions can be stored in a block. These transaction records are packaged into blocks, and then the blocks are connected one by one to form a blockchain

We know that bitcoin software, like other software, needs to be updated and modified regularly in order to make it better. So a new version will appear, but not everyone will download the new version, so one miner will run the old version, and some will run the new version. If the old and new versions are not compatible, the blockchain will bifurcate. Because there may be differences between the version blocks and the old version blocks, they cannot be connected to the same blockchain, so there will be two or even more chains, which is called bifurcation

soft forking

soft forking refers to that 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, resulting in temporary forking. This kind of bifurcation will be graally repaired with the upgrading of nodes

hard fork

hard fork refers to the permanent divergence of the blockchain. 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 hard fork occurs. Therefore, in the field of digital currency, hard bifurcation often leads to the emergence of new currencies. For example, the hard bifurcation of Ethereum led to the emergence of eth

What is bifurcation? What is bitcoin bifurcation

4. The hard bifurcations of bitcoin in November are segwit2x, which makes bitcoin expand to 2MB. BCC is a new type of blockchain asset proced by a hard bifurcation of bitcoin. It is a decentralized digital currency supported by a large community of supporters. BCC removes segwit, cancels the limitation of 1m block size, supports 8m block size at most, and adheres to the expansion route on the chain. The purpose is to better realize the "point-to-point encrypted e-cash system" described in Nakamoto's white paper.

5. Hard bifurcation is caused by the unacceptable permanent divergence of blockchain, while soft bifurcation is caused by the acceptable divergence of blockchain. The emergence of hard bifurcations means the emergence of a blockchain that cannot accept the new consensus mechanism. This blockchain is equivalent to the old version of the system, while the new version accepts the new consensus mechanism. Although the two versions are not different, they are still interrelated. The block nodes caused by soft bifurcation are compatible with the new consensus mechanism, and will not form another block chain. Hard and soft bifurcations are common in coin circles. In addition to currency speculation, blockchain can be applied in many places, including medical care, insurance, ecation, food, etc. I know a company specializing in blockchain development, Xuanling technology. Their evaluation in the instry is not bad.

Jybusd: the lucky dollar is a kind of digital currency, but it has been proved to be a kind of digital currency fraud

digital currency investment needs to pay attention to the following matters:

1. Regular security platform

we must trade through regular digital currency investment platform. If we want to trade through digital currency investment, we can choose digital currency with business license and corresponding company service telephone, which will be relatively safe

2, a small amount of capital investment

investment in digital currency investment leverage investment risk is greater, novice early do not blindly pursue money and profit, can survive in this investment market is the most critical. At the same time, in order to prevent the loss of too much money after being cheated, we must keep an optimistic attitude according to our own situation, and we must participate in a small amount of money to rece the investment risk

3. If you are cheated, report to the police in time. Although the police may not help, but at least let the police on record, so as to recover the loss also has a certain help

extended data :

common digital currency:

1, bitcoin (BTC)

bitcoin the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009, which is a P2P digital currency based on SHA-256 algorithm. Point-to-point transmission means a decentralized payment system, The total issue amount is 21 million

2. Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a public blockchain with smart contract function, and its founder is vitalik buterin

3. XRP

ripple is a decentralized asset transmission network, which is used to solve the asset conversion and trust problems between financial institutions and users

4. Bitcoin cash (BCH)

BCH is a kind of hard bifurcated bitcoin, which modifies the code of bitcoin, supports large blocks, and does not include segwit. To solve the problem of capacity expansion

5. Lightcoin (LTC)

lightcoin is derived from bitcoin, and its founder, Li Qiwei, went online on June 22, 2017

6. Dash

changed its name to dash after its original name was darkcoin. It is a digital currency that supports real-time transactions and aims at protecting users' privacy. Based on bitcoin, its unique two-layer network can make it more comprehensive for testing and updating

7. Xem

Xinjing coin is a new type of digital virtual coin based on Java, which adopts a new synchronous solution based on POI of proof of importance, and is said to be the first encrypted coin to realize multi signature at the block chain level

Small ant stock (NEO)

Neo, using blockchain technology and digital identity for asset digitization, using intelligent contract for automatic management of digital assets, realizes a distributed network of "intelligent economy". In June 2015, GitHub launched a real-time open source project in 2014, with a total amount of 100 million. Founder Da Hongfei, Zhang Zhengwen

9. Monroe is a new generation of virtual currency based on cryptonote protocol and dedicated to privacy protection

7. Bitcoin trading platforms at home and abroad basically support 24-hour trading, and there is no problem of settlement

bitcoin is a consensus network, contributing to a new payment system and a fully digital currency. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, which is controlled by its users without a central management organization or middleman. From the user's point of view, bitcoin is much like Internet cash. Bitcoin can also be regarded as the most outstanding three style bookkeeping system.

8. This number is not fixed, because the price of bitcoin is constantly changing. The highest price of bitcoin is more than $19000. At present, the price of bitcoin is around $4000. You can log in to the bitcoin exchange to view the bitcoin market in real time.

9. For specific information, you need to check the announcement issued on the official website or consult official personnel. This so-called elite currency actually has no application scenarios, it is a pure hype tool. Development operators rely on money to make profits. It is also impossible to have its own community and fixed user groups. It is different from bitcoin, Ruitai coin and Laite coin, which have experienced social tests.

10. Hard bifurcation is for digital currency, that is, the original digital currency is split into two links, a new one and an old one. After this problem occurs, when the digital currency is traded, it doesn't know which one to use. As a result, if it can't be traded, it will be abandoned. You don't have to worry too much. Recently, kushenleng wallet has a digital currency hard fork scheme, which can activate the support for double chain and provide one click replay attack. Scanning code can easily solve the hard fork problem and ensure asset security.
