Ethereum can't see computing power
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; Or
start soft bifurcation to recover funds; Or
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 etc hot money, okex, AAX, etc

what model is the graphics card? It is recommended to re install the graphics card driver on the official website of the graphics card brand. The instability of the graphics card driver will also affect the performance of the graphics card
-
if the driver of this version can not be used normally, you need to contact the official technician to provide the driver file for re installation< br />
-
about the variability of blockchain
-
eth, if most people agree to modify the chain, that is, variability, then they can modify the blockchain records and contracts
-
etc, blockchain records and contracts can't be modified, that is, they can't be tampered with
-
here are the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods
The advantage of -
variability is that people can make timely changes to make the right decisions. Therefore, modifying the specification is more practical than finding loopholes
-
non modifiability means that no matter how smart people are at that time, it is impossible not to make mistakes. Therefore, when problems arise in this scheme, it is best to find and solve the loopholes through the existing legal framework
-
differences in development
-
eth, whether it is intentionally arranged or since its birth, the core decisions of blockchain are made by Ethereum foundation with the participation of the community and most of them are developed by it
-
etc, the decision-making of blockchain is mainly decided by the feedback of three loose, collaborative teams with community participation
-
in any case, anyone can put forward improvement suggestions for the two kinds of blockchains. This is the benefit of open source, and it is also very common. You will find that developers of the two chains communicate with each other through GitHub and reddit. I hope to improve the frequency of communication in order to achieve the common goal
-
about compatibility
-
at present, the two kinds of blockchains are compatible with each other. Contracts or applications written by eth can be applied on etc, and vice versa
-
eth, focusing on ewasm, is committed to providing a platform for more and more developers, while the issue of contract security is secondary, such as viper
-
etc focuses on making developers create more secure contracts, such as viper, iohk research, at the cost of consuming the number of potential developers
-
it's obvious that both chains can accept each other, regardless of whether their wishes are the same or not. My view is that the number of developers is not necessarily related to the quality of the proct
-
about the transaction speed
-
eth, the average is 25 seconds, which will be shortened after upgrading
-
etc, with an average time of 14 seconds, maintained at 10-14 seconds after upgrade, according to ecip-1010 and ecip-1036 protocols
-
about the block capacity
-
eth, with the daily trading volume of eth graally reaching 5 million, the block capacity is graally saturated. This situation is similar to the recent transaction cost of bitcoin. This problem can be solved by expanding the block capacity by increasing the default fuel limit
ETC， At present, there is still a lot of room for block capacity. As more and more people accept etc, the block capacity will also increase, just like eth
-
about community
-
eth, mainly discuss on reddit
-
etc, mainly discuss on slack
-
about monetary policy
-
eth, the planned supply is growing steadily, resulting in an average inflation of 3% in eth blockchain in its life cycle
-
etc, before 2025, inflation will reach 3%, and then the total supply will reach 200 million etc, and then there will be deflation
As for the regional distribution of trading volume, China accounts for 20%, South Korea 25% and the United States 25% In etc, China accounts for 50%, South Korea 25% and the United States 10% About securities, at present, investors do not have the option to trade securities. Recently, one of eth's ETFs, trading open-end index funds, was denied by the regulators -
etc owns etc trading trust, which allows investors to own etc instead of the asset itself
etc (Ethereum Classic) is a bifurcated currency that Ethereum hard bifurcates after 1920000 blocks, and its function is very similar to Ethereum. Etc adheres to the concept of decentralization and supports the consensus mechanism of blockchain guarantee. Etc firmly believes that once the blockchain starts to run, its development direction will not be controlled by any central team, but will be determined by the consensus of the people participating in the whole network and the consensus of the computing power of the whole network
the Ethereum blockchain hard branching in July 2016 aims to transfer the Dao funds stolen by hackers to an account controlled by investors, and let the old transaction records be forgotten by history. Most Ethereum developers are involved in the reversal, as are exchanges, startups and other members of the ecosystem. A few days later, the project returned to normal. But not everyone wants to forget the old record. As a result, a small number of miners continued to use the original blockchain as a protest. They described the hard fork as a capital withdrawal for the abandoned project of the Dao. So Ethereum classic (etc) was born

Bitcoin uses SHA-256 encryption algorithm. When mining, it competes with computing power. In order to improve computing power, bitcoin has gone through four stages: CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining and now ASIC mining machine mining, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher
Ethereum uses the ethash encryption algorithm. In the process of mining, it needs to read the memory and store the DAG file. Because the bandwidth of each read memory is limited, and the existing computer technology is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough in this problem, so no matter how to improve the computing efficiency of the computer, the memory read efficiency will not be greatly improved. Therefore, in a sense, Ethereum's ethash encryption algorithm is ASIC resistant.
different encryption algorithms lead to great differences in mining equipment and computing power between bitcoin and Ethereum
at present, bitcoin mining equipment is mainly ASIC mining machine with a very high degree of specialization. The maximum computing power of a single mining machine is 110t / s, and the scale of computing power of the whole network is more than 120eh / s
the main mining equipment of Ethereum is video card miner, and there are very few specialized ASIC miner. On the one hand, the "ASIC resistance" of Ethereum mining algorithm improves the threshold of developing ASIC miner. On the other hand, after Ethereum is upgraded to 2.0, the consensus mechanism will be transformed into POS, and the miner can not continue mining
compared with the ASIC miner, the graphics card miner has two orders of magnitude difference in computing power. At present, the computing power of mainstream graphics card miner (8 cards) is about 420mh / s, and that of Ethereum is about 230th / s.
from the time dimension of the past two years, bitcoin's computing power of the whole network is growing rapidly, while Ethereum's computing power of the whole network is growing relatively slowly
The ASIC mining machine of
bitcoin is monopolized by several major mining machine manufacturers, and miners can only buy it from the market; Although the graphics card miner of Ethereum is also manufactured by a special miner, the miner can buy accessories from the market and assemble them according to his own demand
compared with the existing cloud computing, fog computing does not rely on the remote server located in the central computer room, but intelligently connects to the nearest distributed computer resources, so as to achieve the most efficient utilization of computing resources. This topology is characterized by decentralized peer-to-peer network, which is a perfect match with blockchain. If cloud computing represents efficient computing power in the Internet era, then in the era of Internet of things and value networking blockchain, fog computing should be the most efficient way of computing power networking
therefore, compared with the evolution of cloud computing, which is a kind of centralized computing, fog computing is to share computing tasks with all kinds of powerful devices around us, and realize the evolution of decentralized and distributed computing, which coincides with the philosophy of blockchain itself. However, it is necessary to encourage the owners of distributed computing resources to contribute computing power to the fog computing network. It is not only difficult for centralized enterprises (such as Cisco) to organize supply and demand market settlement in real time and monopolize, but also contrary to the decentralized distributed philosophy of fog computing itself, which is difficult to be widely recognized, It is difficult to find a satisfactory solution on how to settle the compensation of fog calculation reasonably
we can see that Amazon's AWS, Microsoft's azure and Alibaba's aliyun are all centralized operators operating centralized computing services, and the combination of blockchain value network and cloud computing network, which are both decentralized philosophy, is almost perfect. Ethereumfog is born for this purpose. Upgrading Ethereum based on Ethereum will really bring fog computing to us. In the near future, many personal computing devices may contribute their computing power to do useful things on ethereumfog chain, and do not waste every resource to earn corresponding returns< We use cloud computing, but it runs in the remote data center; Fog is close to the ground and lingers around us. Fog computing makes both computing and storage decentralized distributed on the devices around us. The combination of blockchain and value Internet makes more people willing to let their computing resources participate in it. The organic combination of supply and demand is becoming more powerful. Ethereumfog etherfog (ETF) is opening the door to the new world of Ethereum.
