Ethereum writes its own program
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.
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 theblockchain 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
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.
Ethereum specifies the JSON RPC API application development interface that each node needs to implement. This interface is transport independent. Applications can use this interface protocol to operate Ethereum nodes through HTTP, websocket or IPC and other communication mechanisms:
Recently, a & lt; The 27 year old founder of ether coin made a profit of $1.1 billion; The news of, caused the hot discussion of broad netizens, make boiling on the net. We know that with the development of society, digital currency has emerged in all currencies. The largest digital currency is bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen from less than one cent at the beginning to more than 300000 yuan now, with a huge increase. After bitcoin, it is the second largest digital currency, ether coin, which was launched in 2015 and is now up a lot. So who is the founder? What does he do
The founder of vitalik buterin is a 27 year old programmer who created ethercoin in 2013 and launched ethercoin in 2015. He is a Russian Canadian{ RRRRR}the above are my views on this issue.

Transaction
the behavior of blockchain transaction follows different rule sets
< UL >e to the distributed and unlicensed nature of public blockchain, anyone can sign the transaction and broadcast it to the network
according to different blockchains, traders will be charged a certain transaction fee, which depends on the needs of users rather than the value of assets in the transaction
blockchain transactions do not require any central authority verification. It only needs to use the digital signature algorithm (DSA) corresponding to its blockchain to sign it with the private key
once a transaction is signed, broadcast to the network and mined into a successful block in the network, the transaction cannot be recovered
Ethereum transaction structure
Ethereum transaction data structure: transaction 0.1 eth
{& 39; nonce': 39; 0x00', // Decimal: 0
& 39; gasLimit': 39; 0x5208', // Decimal system: 21000
& 39; gasPrice': 39; 0x3b9aca00', // Decimal system: 10000000000
& 39; to': 39; 39; ,// Sending address
& 39; value': 39; 0x16345785d8a0000',// 100000000000000000 ,10^17
' data': 39; 0x', // Decimal representation of null data; chainId': 1 / / blockchain network ID
}
these data have nothing to do with the transaction content, but have something to do with the execution mode of the transaction. This is because when you send a transaction in Ethereum, you must define some other parameters to tell miners how to handle your transaction. Transaction data structure has two attribute designs & quot; gas": & quot; gasPrice",& quot; gasLimit"
" gasPrice": The unit is Gwei, which is 1 / 1000 eth, indicating the transaction cost
& quot; gasLimit": The maximum gas charge allowed for the transaction
these two values are usually filled in automatically by the wallet provider
in addition, you need to specify which Ethereum network to execute the transaction (chainid): 1 represents the Ethereum main network
ring development, tests are usually carried out locally and on the test network, and transactions are carried out through the test eth issued by the test network to avoid economic losses. After the test, enter the main network transaction
in addition, if you need to submit some other data, you can use & quot; data" And & quot; nonce" Attach as part of a transaction
a nonce (number used only once) is the value used by Ethereum to track transactions, which helps to avoid double spending and replay attacks in the network
Ethereum transaction signature
Ethereum transaction involves ECDSA algorithm. Taking JavaScript code as an example, the popular ethers.js is used to call ECDSA algorithm for transaction signature
you can use the online application composer to deliver signed transactions to Ethereum. This is known as "offline signature.". Offline signatures are particularly useful for applications such as status channels, which are smart contracts that track the balance between two accounts and transfer funds after a signed transaction is submitted. Offline signature is also a common practice in dexes
you can also use online wallet to create signature verification and broadcast through Ethereum account
with Portis, you can sign a transaction to interact with the gas station network (GSN)
