Background: the financial application of blockchain technology brings high investment value
2018 China international big data instry Expo opened in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province on the 26th. At the meeting, it was pointed out that China will vigorously develop the digital economy in the future, deeply implement the action plan for the development of big data and cloud computing, and deeply study blockchain technology and application. Especially in the field of finance, the landing application has become the focus of the scientific and financial circles
1. The value source of blockchain is that it can perfectly solve the pain points of the current financial instry:
in today's asset securitization, insurance, supply chain finance, commodity trading, asset custody and other financial scenarios, e to many participants, high cost of credit evaluation, low settlement efficiency of intermediary institutions and other reasons, Traditional financial service methods are difficult to effectively solve the long-standing core pain points in the instry, such as information asymmetry, complex and rendant processes, and high information verification cost
2. Why can blockchain solve the above pain points:
blockchain technology integrates many basic technologies, such as distributed accounting, tamper proof, built-in contract, etc., and constructs a trust building mechanism with lower cost. The financial application based on blockchain technology can realize the ability of all market participants to obtain all transaction information and asset ownership records in the market without discrimination, and effectively solve the problem of information asymmetry; Smart contract embedding reces the error rate of payment and settlement, simplifies the process and improves efficiency; At the same time, based on transparent information and brand-new trust mechanism, there is no need to spend manpower, material resources and financial resources to confirm information among participants, which will greatly rece the trust cost between institutions, and then rece the price of financial services and transaction costs
3. The application of blockchain technology in the financial field mainly includes the following aspects:
among which bitcoin is the most famous. On the basis of bitcoin, a large number of other types of decentralized digital currencies have been derived. Such as: the heyday of bits
Compared with the traditional payment system, blockchain payment can directly carry out end-to-end payment for both parties without the help of the banking system, which can greatly improve the speed and rece the cost③ digital bills
④ bank credit management: the advantage of blockchain is that it can rely on program algorithm to automatically record credit related information and store it on every computer in the blockchain network, with transparent information, tamper proof and low cost
The major financial institutions and exchanges in Europe and the United States have explored the application research of building the next generation of financial asset trading platform based on blockchain technology4. The development prospect of blockchain. The future development of blockchain technology will have the most vitality with alliance chain as the entry point, and will have a significant effect and far-reaching impact on the transformation of traditional financial instry pain points
in response to the good investment prospects of blockchain, domestic enterprises such as Alibaba, Jingdong and Netcom have entered the market. The application of financial scenarios based on blockchain technology not only brings us security and convenience, but also provides us with broader investment space. The rise and price surge of digital currency represented by bitcoin (bitcoin was about RMB 20 cents when it was first listed in 2009, and its current price is about US $7300!) It's the best proof that people with a keen sense of smell have made a lot of money from it
Abstract: This is an encrypted digital currency based on the bitcoin developed by Nakamoto Tsung, which improves and adds many new functions, such as the double-layer reward system network, also known as the main node network. It also includes anonymous payment to improve the interchangeability (bitage) and real-time payment function docking to realize real-time transaction confirmation without relying on the authority of the center (P2P mall) In 2009, Nakamoto put forward the concept of bitcoin. Since then, bitcoin has spread rapidly in mainstream applications and commercial uses, becoming the first digital currency to attract a large number of users, which is a milestone in the history of digital currency. However, from the perspective of completing the transaction, we can find an important problem, that is, it takes too long for bitcoin block to confirm the transaction. Traditional payment companies have found a solution to enable the buyer and the seller to realize zero confirmation of bitcoin transaction, but this solution usually requires a trusted third party to complete the transaction outside the agreementbitcoin provides pseudonym transaction, realizes the one-to-one transaction relationship between sender and receiver, and can always record the transactions occurred in the whole network. Bitcoin only provides low-level privacy protection, which is well known in academia. Despite this deficiency, many people still believe in the transfer history recorded by blockchain
based on Nakamoto's achievements, bitshengshi is an encrypted digital currency with the purpose of protecting privacy. We have made a series of improvements on the basis of the concept of bitcoin, resulting in a decentralized cryptocurrency with good anonymity. It supports tamper proof real-time transactions, and has a point-to-point sub network that can provide service reward system for bitsheng network
2. Master node network
the whole node is the server running on the P2P network, so that small nodes can use them to accept the dynamic changes from the whole network. These all nodes need significant traffic and other resources that consume a lot of cost. Therefore, it will be observed that the number of these nodes on the bitcoin network presents a steady downward trend over a period of time, so that the block broadcast time needs an additional 40 seconds. In order to solve this problem, many solutions have been put forward, such as the introction of Microsoft Research's new incentive plan and bitnodes incentive plan

It's said that the currency circle has been going on for one day and the stock market has been going on for one year. Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's not unreasonable. In recent days, bitcoin has gone up sharply, but it has come down slightly today. It's estimated that no one can match the speed of the bull bear conversion in the currency circle. However, among many virtual currencies, how can we find high-quality projects? Xiaobian thinks that the bull market is not surprising. The key point is that the bear market still insists on giving weekly reports, at least for the projects with reliable teams. Today Xiaobian still brings you weekly reports of some high-quality projects. The following is the latest weekly project progress report (April 9-April 15, 2018) released by ubtc team. The specific information is as follows:
pre upgrade of Ub smart contract:

bitcoin cash (BCC) is a new type of blockchain asset proced by a hard bifurcation of bitcoin. It is a decentralized digital currency supported by a community of large block 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
after BCC successfully separated from the main chain of bitcoin on August 1, it went to an independent development road and was considered as a strong competitor of bitcoin in the community. Even some people in the community think that BCC is the real bitcoin.

more than 99% of the earth's gold goes into the core. This distribution of gold is formed ring the long-term deepening of the earth. The crust formed in the early stage of the earth's development has a high gold abundance. Therefore, it can generally represent the Archean greenstone belt composed of the early resial crust, especially the mafic and ultramafic volcanic rock assemblage. The gold abundance value is higher than that of all kinds of rocks in the crust, which may become the earliest "source bed" of gold deposits
Silver Gold Deposit: refers to the natural or artificial alloy of gold, which contains at least 20% silver. The earliest known coins in the West were made from it
Gold occurs mainly in the form of argentogold, followed by native gold. The silver gold deposit is mainly granular, some of which are dendritic, vein and flaky. Its occurrence is mainly interstitial gold, followed by fissure gold and a small amount of inclusion gold. The main gold bearing minerals are pyrite and quartz, followed by galena, chalrite and sphalerite
when the silver content of gold ore reaches 10-15%, it is called silver gold ore.
