Virtual currency wallet ranking
in December 2018, NASDAQ announced its investment in the cryptocurrency exchange erisx. Compared with bakkt, although behind erisx are Nasdaq, CBOE, CME, fidelity and TD Ameritrade, one of the largest Internet Securities Companies in the United States, they are relatively unknown. But it was approved by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission earlier than bakkt to launch compliant bitcoin futures
NYSE and NASDAQ are competing for the first place, and the London Stock Exchange (LSE), the largest stock exchange in Europe, is not willing to fall behind. In January 2019, the London Stock Exchange Group (lseg) announced that it would provide technology drive for atom asset exchange (AAX exchange) to enter the digital money market in a "curve entry" way.
the ranking of digital currency exchanges is from low to high, including bithumb, okxe, binance, bitmex and coin win national stations Bithumb is the largest digital currency exchange in South Korea, and also one of the top ten exchanges in the world in terms of trading volume. Its daily trading volume exceeds 13000 bitcoins, accounting for about 10% of the global bitcoin trading volume. It promises to provide the lowest handling fee in the world. Bithum accounts for 75.7% of South Korea's bitcoin market, 10% of the global bitcoin market, and 50% of South Korea's Ethereum market
note:
1. Asset security is very critical. You can distribute your bitcoin or other currencies through exchanges, online wallets, hardware wallets and paper wallets, so that you won't lose all your assets when attacked or lost by hackers. The secret key information must not be placed in the mailbox or other unsafe online software
2. Whether it is EOS, etc, BTC, LTC, or other platform currencies, in addition to bitcoin itself has been given the attribute of digital currency gold, other currencies are more related to the application and landing of blockchain instry. Pay more attention to and analyze the trend and ecological construction of blockchain instry, so as to return to the original intention of blockchain value investment, It will also be a way to avoid risks
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
local Wallet_ Network
In 2016, the global ranking of virtual currency is respectively as follows:
< H2 > bitcoin, Leyte, Ecuadorian, reborn, bitstock, doggy, Diablo, futurecoin, diandiancoin and Xingxing < H2 > first place: bitcoinsince its release in 2009, bitcoin has become the most well-known virtual currency. This virtual currency was developed by indivials or organizations under the pseudonym of "Nakamoto Tsung" (whose real identity has always been unknown), and is mainly used by online merchants. However, in recent years, some small physical merchants have begun to accept bitcoin payment. Through complex algorithms and a large number of computing resources, users can obtain bitcoin through "mining". Of course, they can also purchase bitcoin through exchanges or services like bitinstagnt and coinbase. The total amount of bitcoin that can be mined is about 21 million, while the current mining amount has exceeded 11 million. Bitcoin has attracted the attention of Western Union, MoneyGram and paypal. It is reported that these services are evaluating whether users are allowed to use bitcoin on their respective platforms
< H2 > second place: lightcoinlightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central organization. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three significant differences. First, the lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, four times the amount of money issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in lightcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each Leyte coin is divided into 100000000 smaller units, and the third place is defined by eight decimal places: Ecuadorian currency. In December 2014, Ecuador launched the "electronic currency system"
Ecuadorian currency, or EDC, which is a digital currency issued by the Central Bank of the government of Ecuador. In December 2014, the Ecuadorian market was launched, In 2015, the number of Ecuadorian currency members reached 500000, which will be recognized and sought after by investors after launching the European market and Asian market in 2015, and achieve a complete success. It will strongly launch the Chinese market at the end of September 2016, and will issue a limited number of 50 million pieces in China, which has a strong scarcity! This is an international hot topic with a wide range of admirers in the world. Historical currency is a kind of P2P digital code. Ecuadorian currency is not issued by a specific monetary institution. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Ecuadorian currency economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions
decentralized encrypted digital currency has no issuing institution, and it does not belong to any indivial, institution, bank or country, so it cannot be shut down. Ecuadorian coin mining machine is mining 24 hours a day, and the extracted Ecuadorian coin can be traded through the trading platform to obtain profits. Ecuadorian coin mining refers to the scrypt algorithm, The process of collecting and sorting the transaction information that has not been recognized by Ecuadorian currency in the past period of time, broadcasting to all nodes in the whole network, and finally being recognized by all nodes and getting Ecuadorian currency. Mining is the only way to issue new currency, which plays an important role in issuing new currency, maintaining Ecuadorian payment function and ensuring system security
Like bitcoin, XRP is a digital currency based on Mathematics and cryptography. However, unlike bitcoin, XRP has no real purpose. XRP has the main function of bridging currency and ensuring security in ripple system, among which the function of ensuring security is indispensable, This requires that all gateways participating in this protocol must hold a small amount of XRPin theory, gateways don't need to buy many xrps, and their prices are very cheap. One XRP is only 0.4 cent (as of March 14, 2015, its price has risen to about 1 cent). Like bitcoin, the number of xrps can not be "over issued" (the total number is 100 billion), but since a small amount of xrps will be destroyed in each transaction, it means that the number of xrps will graally decrease. If ripple protocol can become the global mainstream payment protocol, the gateway's demand for XRP will be more extensive - the demand is strong but the quantity is decreasing, which will lead to the appreciation of XRP
< H2 > fifth place: bitstocksbitstocks adopt an architecture similar to bitcoin blockchain. In the bitcoin blockchain architecture, each transaction data must be written from the previous transaction data, and new outputs are generated almost at the same time to be used for future transaction data writing. Each stroke can only be used once under certain conditions. Each transaction output contains the balance information of bitcoin, proving that it can be used for future transactions. In order not to proce bitcoin out of nothing, the write value of the transaction must be greater than the output value
bitcoin uses a simple script language to evaluate the situation that the balance is insufficient when the transaction is output; However, most of the transaction output only needs the holder's encrypted signature
< H2 > sixth place: dogcoindogcoin, some people call it "dogcoin", was born on December 8, 2013, based on the scrypt algorithm, is the second largest virtual currency in the world after bitcoin in the number of users [1]. Digital currency is a global currency initiated by non-governmental organizations. It does not belong to a certain country, but belongs to the whole mankind. It has the advantages of fast global transfer. For example, it can remit money from China to the United States in a few seconds, with low cost, and the total amount will not be increased at will like legal money, so the total amount is relatively stable
after the launch of dogcoin system, e to the help of reddit (the doge content on this website overflows horribly), the traffic shows an explosive development. However, in two weeks, dogcoin has launched a special blog and forum, with a market value of 100 million as of June 9, 2015. Because there is no pre dig, dog coin distribution is fair, charity, reward culture is popular, and user development is amazing and rapid. On June 9, 2015, the number of Dog Coin client addresses was 1.6 million, more than five times that of Wright coin; The number of active client addresses is 196000 in bitcoin, 83000 in dogcoin and 11000 in lightcoin; There are more than 150000 foreign Twitter users, 1.7 times of bitcoin and 6 times of lightcoin. Facebook likes are the same as bitcoin, far more than lightcoin [2]. The daily real transaction volume has been ranked in the top three of virtual currency for a long time, which is still not as good as the result obtained before the big platform [3]. The biggest value of the enterprise Internet era is the huge number of users. It took one year for the user base of dogcoin to reach one third of the number of bitcoin users, and the seventh place is lightcoin, which is four times the number of bitcoin users. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique[ 8] In the metaphor of RMB, black money is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of the equation system through huge amount of calculation. The equation system is designed to have only 22 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 22 million[ 8]
to mine the dark coin, you can download the special dark coin calculation tool, register various cooperative mine pool websites, fill the registered user name and password (miner user) into the calculation program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of the darkcoin client, you can directly obtain a darkcoin address. When others pay, you only need to post the address to others, and you can pay through the same client. After installing the Black Coin client, it will distribute a private key and a public key. You need to back up your wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, the personal dark coin will be completely lost
