Virtual currency without Wallet

1. E-wallet is an independent program, which belongs to personal wallet after registration

2.

virtual currency wallets and local wallets are wallets specially used to store virtual currency

difference: local wallets are installed on their own computers or mobile phones, while online wallets encrypt the private key and put it on the server

personal computers may be implanted with Trojans; The wallet server also has the risk of being attacked by hackers, and the encrypted private key is cracked. Server security is better than personal computers, but it is easier to attract hackers' attention

< H2 > extended data:

virtual currency Wallet:

there are three main types: Online wallet, client wallet (mobile client, computer client) and hard wallet

1. Online Wallet: it refers to the operation of virtual currency relative to wallet by users in the form of network; The main form is website, which users can visit through computer and mobile phone

2. Client Wallet: it is an installation software, which needs to be downloaded to the computer or mobile phone, and can only be used after installation; This is the type of mobile app wallet that I just mentioned

3. Hard Wallet: it is similar to the wallet in the form of U disk, which is a real type of wallet

local Wallet:

the English name of local wallet is local wallet. Local wallet is to store private key and transaction data in local terminal, such as computer, mobile phone or other local devices; It refers to the storage location of the key, and its concept is independent of online wallet and offline wallet

the English name of local wallet is local wallet. It is one of the terms related to bitcoin wallet in blockchain. Local wallet is to store private key and transaction data in local terminal, such as computer, mobile phone or other local devices; Local wallet refers to the storage location of key, which is independent of online wallet and offline wallet

the local wallet is installed on your own computer or mobile phone, while the online wallet is encrypted and put on the server. Personal computers may be implanted with Trojans. Hackers may steal your wallet files and record your wallet password; The wallet server may also be attacked by hackers, and the encrypted private key may be cracked. Server security protection is better than personal computers, but it is also easier to attract hackers' attention. In terms of security, I think these two types of wallets are similar

to enhance the security of local wallet and online wallet, it's better to set a more complex password, and don't forget it. Both local wallet and online wallet are easy to use and easy to use. Because online wallet is not limited by clients, it is easier to use than local wallet. Bitcoin core, Bitai wallet and bitpai wallet all belong to this category

3. In addition to bitcoin, there are many other virtual currencies in the virtual world< Liteoin (LTC) was released on October 7, 2011, and is currently the most valuable counterfeit currency, accounting for about 2% of BTC's market value. The current unit price is US $2.31, with a total currency value of US $38 million

this is also a distributed (decentralized) digital currency. Unlike the sha256 mining algorithm used by bitcoin, LTC adopts scrypt algorithm. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory. Each hash is used as the seed of the input, and then it needs a lot of memory to store another pseudo-random sequence to generate the pseudo-random points of the sequence and output the hash value. In the mining of BTC (bitcoin), it is not enough to rely on simple graphics card mining (it takes about ten to dozens of days to dig a BTC with general configuration graphics card). The emergence of various expensive mining machines has raised the threshold for ordinary people to get BTC through mining, while LTC has certain advantages in using PC graphics card mining This passage comes from Zhihu.)

compared with BTC, litecain has made a little improvement in technology. If BTC is gold now, LTC is silver for the time being

the biggest advantage of litecoin is that it can confirm the authenticity faster. The virtual currency is designed and maintained by Charles Lee. Bitcoin transactions need to be verified, and the average verification time is more than 10 minutes. Most transaction websites need 1 hour to verify. The average transaction confirmation time of liteoin is 2.5 minutes. Developers claim that shortening the verification time increases the practicability of virtual currency. The bitcoin mining efficiency of customized machine and AMD GPU is the highest, making it almost unprofitable for miners using CPU mining. Litecain's mining excludes GPUs and custom processors, so it doesn't rely too much on a small number of professional miners

ppcoin

ppcoin (PPC) was released on August 19, 2012, which has improved the original technology of BTC. Use proof of make and add the concept of coin age

ppcoin is a bifurcated project of bitcoin, which aims to achieve energy efficiency and maintain the best performance of the original bitcoin as far as possible. The unit price of ppcoin is US $0.22 and the total currency value is US $4 million

ppcoin does not have a fixed upper limit of money supply, but it does not mean that ppcoin has obvious inflation compared with bitcoin. Bitcoin can be compared to gold. The annual inflation rate of gold is about 1-3%. Although gold has no known upper limit of money supply, we still know that it is a reliable scarce commodity

ppcoin has two types of casting: work certificate and equity certificate. The coinage rate of working proof is affected by Moore's law, which depends on the doubling of our working proof ability. What we all know is that Moore's law will eventually come to an end. By then, the ppcoin of inflation may be close to the gold level. The annual maximum inflation rate of certificate of equity is 1%. At the same time, ppcoin's transaction costs were destroyed to fight inflation. So on the whole, the coin design of ppcoin is still a very low inflation design in the future, which can be comparable with bitcoin<

ppcoin's reward is similar to lottery, which will determine the winning probability according to the number of ppcoin held by miners. Sunny king, one of the founders, said that their design is based on a new concept of long-term energy efficiency

terracoin

terracoin (TRC) was released on October 26, 2012, with a total currency of 42 million. The speed of each block is 2 minutes, slightly faster than LTC. There is not much special in technology, similar to the proction of BTC halved every four years

however, the operation team seems to have a strong business background and may be better than other bitcoins in circulation. The development of virtual currency is getting more and more attention. Now some teams with business background will accelerate the development of virtual currency

namecoin

namecoin is a distributed domain name system based on bitcoin technology. Its principle is the same as bitcoin. The first release date of this open source software is April 18, 2011

namecoin is generated from an original block which is different from bitcoin's main trading block. It uses a new blockchain, which is independent of bitcoin's blockchain. Because it is based on bitcoin, the security, distribution, robustness, encryption and migration of domain names are guaranteed mathematically. You can dig bitcoin and namecoin at the same time

this project was discussed and proposed by bitdns, which is mainly dissatisfied with the defects of DNS. The only top-level domain name of namecoin is. Bit. It costs namecoin to register a. Bit domain name

in addition, Q currency, Shanda currency, starting point currency and various online game currencies are also virtual currencies.

5.

1. Different in nature

putting virtual currency on the platform is controlled by the platform, and putting virtual currency on the wallet is controlled by yourself

2. Different security

if the platform fails, the money will be gone, and the virtual coin will be put in the wallet. No matter whether the platform fails or not, the virtual coin will not have any loss

3. Different transactions

virtual currency platform can be sold or traded in public, while virtual currency wallet can only be traded in private

extended data:

the risk of virtual currency:

1, model risk

virtual currency is not real currency, there is no central bank behind the total control and macro-control, its value depends entirely on its supply

2, liquidity risk

virtual currency is often e to the lack of market depth, after irrational prosperity thinking or sudden panic, the market price rises and falls sharply, it is difficult to buy or sell at a reasonable price, especially when a large number of funds or a large number of virtual currencies enter the market

3, platform risk

at present, many virtual currency platforms need to deposit funds into the platform to buy or sell. In order to attract investors, some platforms often offer free service charges, but some free platforms are risky

6.

There are two reasons for the prohibition of virtual currency trading by the state:

1. The price fluctuates violently and the consumer protection is lacking:

virtual currency is the proct of network, and the digital information flowing in the network is beyond everyone's control. The code of cyberspace is the basis of the operation of virtual currency, investors can only operate through the front-end interface, seemingly "control" the virtual currency. The operator of the virtual currency service organization may become the actual controller of the virtual currency through the control code

bitcoin and other so-called "virtual currencies" lack a clear value basis, the market is full of speculative atmosphere, the price fluctuates violently, and investors blindly follow suit, which is easy to cause capital losses

2. Evade supervision and become the "accomplice" of criminal activities:

bitcoin is popular as a payment tool in the so-called "dark web" world“ The "dark net" is full of all kinds of serious criminal activities. One of the original intentions of the invention of bitcoin is to evade regulation. It has the characteristics of anonymity and convenient cross-border flow, and has become the preferred tool of "underground economy"

the existence of bitcoin and exchanges and other instrial chains has constructed a illegal financial market for asset transfer and financing in addition to legal currency, increased the difficulty of regulatory authorities in managing financial security and stability, and promoted regulatory arbitrage and financial crimes. The risks and social security risks it brings to the financial market are far higher than its innovative value

extended information

virtual currency transactions are not protected by law:

according to the notice on preventing bitcoin risks issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments on December 3, 2013 and the announcement on preventing financing risks of token issuance issued by seven ministries and commissions including the people's Bank of China on September 4, 2017, virtual currency is not issued by monetary authorities, It is not a real currency because it does not have the monetary attributes of legal compensation and compulsion

in terms of nature, virtual currency should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and can not and should not be used as currency in the market. Although citizens' investment and trading in other virtual currencies are personal freedom, they can not be protected by law
