bitcoin is an e-money payment system based on the global network
bitcoin is an e-money system based on the global decentralized network system, without the participation of central banks and third-party institutions, with a fixed total amount. Bitcoin has the characteristics of payment system and currency at the same time. Global network nodes are maintaining the bitcoin network all day<
English: bitcoin currency symbol: abbreviation: BTC or XBT
Introction to bitcoin by wiki
different from traditional currency, bitcoin's operation mechanism does not rely on the support or credit guarantee of central bank, government and enterprise, but on the network agreement reached with seed files in the network, which is a decentralized and self-improvement monetary system, Theoretically, it ensures that no one, institution or government can control the total amount of bitcoin or create inflation. Its total amount of money graally increased at the designed rate, and the increase rate graally slowed down, and finally reached the limit of 21 million in 2140<
Introction to bitcoin in network
bitcoin is based on a set of cipher codes and generated by complex algorithms. This rule is not interfered by any indivial or organization and is decentralized; Anyone can download and run the bitcoin client to participate in the proction of bitcoin; Bitcoin uses electronic signature to realize circulation, and checks repeated consumption through P2P distributed network. The generation and consumption of each bitcoin will be recorded through the P2P distributed network and informed to the whole network. There is no possibility of forgery. Bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue, it is generated through a large number of calculations of specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction<

the difference between bitcoin and bitcoin
it should be noted that
in English, the words bitcoin and bitcoin represent two concepts of payment network and monetary unit
bitcoin starting with capital B represents bitcoin network system or bitcoin network protocol, which is a payment system based on decentralized network
you can simply understand bitcoin as a public accounting system built on the Internet and not manipulated by any third party. Bitcoin, which starts with lowercase B, refers to the digital currency (e-money, e-cash, cryptocurrency) built on bitcoin network. Bitcoin is the payment accounting unit built in bitcoin payment system. We call bitcoin the network system that proces bitcoin<
in Chinese, bitcoin and bitcoin are both called bitcoin without distinction in many places
its main features are as follows:
1. Decentralization
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom< Bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership
private key is required to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost
bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a small transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5. No hidden cost
as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay<
6. Bitcoin is not completely anonymous

it will take some time to protect privacy when using bitcoin. All bitcoin transactions are publicly and permanently stored in the network, which means that anyone can view the balance and transaction records in any bitcoin address. Unless the bitcoin holder discloses personal information ring the transaction, the bitcoin address will not be associated with the real identity of the bitcoin holder. This is why it is recommended that bitcoin holders use multiple bitcoin addresses; In fact, you should create a new address each time to receive bitcoin. This is especially important when using bitcoin in public places, such as on websites. In addition, you can also consider using tools like tor to hide your IP address from being recorded.

7. Bitcoin is still experimental
bitcoin is an experimental new currency in active development. Although its experimentality is diminishing with its increasing usage, remember that bitcoin is a new invention, exploring ideas that have never been tried before, so no one can predict the future of bitcoin.
Step 1: download the wallet and unzip / install it to a directory you selected on disk D (this screenshot takes catcoin as an example):
Step 2: right click catcoin-qt.exe to create a shortcut (it is recommended that you rename this shortcut to avoid confusion with the original EXE file)
Step 3: right click on the newly generated shortcut and click properties
Step 4: add "
- dataDir =. / data" (- dataDir is preceded by a space, remember)
Step 4: create a new folder named "data" in the current directory
Step 5: if you are a new wallet, just open the shortcut. After opening, you can enter the data directory to see if all the data is in it
if you are an old wallet, please the data in the directory corresponding to the wallet in the original
% appdata% to the data directory
PS1, remember to use this shortcut to open your wallet in the future. You can also this shortcut to the desktop, so you can open your wallet directly from the desktop
PS2. After the test, xmascoin
can't set the directory of the data file in this way. I don't know why.
it is based on bitcoin protocol, but different from bitcoin, it can also "mine" efficiently through consumer hardware. Liteoin provides you with faster transaction confirmation (2.5 minutes on average). It uses hard memory and mining workload proof algorithm based on scrypt (an encryption algorithm). It is oriented to ordinary computer and graphics processor (GPU) used by most people. The litecain network is expected to proce 84 million currency units
one of the design purposes of litecoin is to provide a mining algorithm, which can be run simultaneously on the machine mining bitcoin. As the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designed for bitcoin mining (Avalon proced the world's first ASIC bitcoin miner in 2012) graally emerged, litecoin also followed the technological evolution. But before the widespread use of litecoin currency, it is unlikely that there will be an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) specially designed for litecoin. But in fact, under the expulsion of interests, there has been an ASIC miner with scrypt algorithm, and the competition has become white hot. Many people claim that the recent decline of Leyte coin has something to do with the manufacturers of Leyte coin miner
similarly, at present, the competition among bitcoin mining machine manufacturers is still fierce. Since Avalon proced the world's first ASIC bitcoin miner, so far, it has upgraded three generations of miner chips, and the fourth generation of 28nm miner will come out soon.
Compared with bitcoin, its competitor, liteoin block chain can handle more transactions. Due to the more frequent generation of data blocks, the network can support more transactions without modifying the software in the future. Therefore, businesses can get faster transaction confirmation, and they can still wait for more transaction confirmation when they sell large amount of goods< In fact, digital virtual currency is far from the above. Forbes magazine listed the top 30 virtual currencies in the market by their total market value and price as of 10:00 a.m. local time on the 27th. Caijing.com and venture capital Post said that there are at least 60 kinds of virtual currencies currently traded According to the Forbes report, bitcoin ranked first in market value and unit price. It was the lightcoin designed by Li Qiwei, a former Google programmer, that won "erlianya". In the past week up to the 27th, the price of lightcoin rose rapidly from $6 to $26, a considerable increase. The third to fifth place in the total market value are spot money, nominal money and prime money. The report counted the 24-hour gains as of the 27th. Almost all of the 30 currencies rose, with the biggest increase of the quark currency, reaching 278.55%. The report also said that almost all virtual currencies have taken a ride in the current round of bitcoin's rise, but most of them have poor business, with 8 companies with a total market value of less than $1 million and 19 companies with a unit price of less than $1
