To be honest, I had the same problem with the subject at the beginning. When I saw the news, I was a little confused and went to search. As a result, when I searched for lightning bitcoin or lightning bitcoin, either lightning network or bitcoin came out... This name is quite poisonous
Let's get down to business. Let's draw a conclusion first. It's not a thing at allmany people have talked about what lightning network is. You can look at other people's answers to get a deeper understanding of its mechanism, or you can go to the official website with better English to see their papers directly http://lightning.network/ . Lightning bitcoin official website in Chinese, save the trouble of translation https://lbtc.io/ . The origins of the two lightning bolts are very similar. They both hope to solve the problem of bitcoin network congestion. One is to carry the protocol, and the other is to change the fork to consensus. The results of the two lightning bolts are also good. The transaction speed is greatly improved, which can be regarded as real-time. The following table directly shows the similarities and differences between the two:
as can be seen from the above, the differences between the two are relatively large, and should not be confused any more~
Lightning network is known as one of the most effective cryptocurrency expansion solutions currently being developed. The scheme was proposed in 2015, based on a network at the top of bitcoin blockchain, and finally implemented on the network. The network consists of user generated channels that send payments back and forth in a secure and untrusted manner
For example, suppose I want to pay for every minute I watch. We're going to open up a lightning channel, and as time goes on, we're going to make regular payments from my wallet to the video makers. When I finish, we will close the channel to settle the net balance on the bitcoin blockchain. Because transactions are only between me and the other party and do not need to be broadcast to the whole network, they are almost instantaneous. And because there is no incentive for miners, the transaction cost is low, or even no transaction cost at all
first, it greatly improves performance, As we all know, the number of transfers per second of bitcoin, that is, TPS, is only about 7, and other bitcoin forked coins using POW consensus mechanism are almost the same. The theoretical value of TPS of LBTC can reach 2800, and the current actual level can reach more than 1000, and the performance has been improved by several orders of magnitude. The slogan "fast as lightning" is by no means empty words. If you are interested, you can download a wallet from the official website of LBTC or Cobo to experience it
Second, it greatly reces the energy consumption and participation threshold. As we all know, the high energy consumption caused by POW mining represented by bitcoin has been criticized by the outside world. At the same time, because mining has already become a heavy asset instry, mining machinery, mining and other fields have been monopolized by a few big players, ordinary small and medium-sized investors and new manufacturers have little room to survive, It has formed a situation in which the strong are always strong. However, POS / dpos currencies only need ordinary PCs or even mobile phones to run wallets and stack, so as to obtain revenue
thirdly, it introces chain governance, which achieves a good balance between democracy and efficiency. At the same time, it encourages users to actively participate in community affairs through voting and staging mechanism. In the world of pow, power is power, simple and crude; In the world of POS, those who hold more money will have more right to speak and gain
in the world of dpos, it is not simply to see who holds more money. At the same time, it needs the extensive support of the community to exercise power on behalf of the community. At the same time, the majority of small and medium-sized users also have the opportunity to launch motions, express their demands, and participate in decision-making
because bitcoin has carried too many interests, we are very cautious about any improvement of bitcoin, and the pace is very slow, which leads to the division of the community and the proction of many forked coins. However, in fact, compared with bitcoin, the improvements made by BCH and BSV are quite limited, so the improvement in all aspects is also very limited
therefore, if you take a closer look at LBTC, you will find that it is actually a very interesting bitcoin fork coin. I think it is a very bold and imaginative experiment based on bitcoin. If lightcoin has been used as a testing ground for new technologies and new ideas for bitcoin in many cases, LBTC can be regarded as a testing ground for bitcoin with greater and more thorough changes
just mentioned, one of the biggest obstacles in the promotion and use of bitcoin is that TPS is too low to carry high-frequency transactions. Compared with bitcoin and some well-known bifurcated currencies such as BCH and BSV, the performance of LBTC is improved by several orders of magnitude, and the actual TPS can reach more than 1000
increasing TPS can rece verification time, but it will inevitably sacrifice security or decentralization. If TPS increases blindly, blockchain will completely sacrifice "decentralization". At the same time, the requirements on the miner's machine configuration will be more stringent. If it can not upload the transaction in time, it will proce more unfinished transactions, and the hidden danger will be greater. Although EOS uses 21 super nodes to achieve high efficiency, it also sacrifices some "decentralization" and security, and introces potential risks such as DDoS
in the past two years, many public chain projects blindly pursue high TPS, and often claim to have achieved tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of TPS. In order to improve TPS, some project parties buy millions of equipment to test in a laboratory, which only plays a PR effect or amuses themselves. Such a high TPS is meaningless. Even if it can reach or close to such a number, for the current market demand, it also belongs to excess performance, which is bound to cause unnecessary waste of resources
according to the calculation of relevant research institutions, even if the public chain processes 100 million transactions every day, thousand level TPS is enough. It's worth noting that the TPS of Libra, which is to be launched by Facebook, is also around 1000. You should know that Facebook has as many as 2.7 billion users in the world, which should be determined by them after careful consideration
this means that LBTC's TPS can meet the needs of processing 100 million transactions per day, which is quite pragmatic and can fully meet the needs of global users in the next few years. Moreover, LBTC also has a high degree of scalability. With the further improvement of global Internet infrastructure, the performance of LBTC will continue to improve. It can be said that the current LBTC has found a good balance in the "Impossible Triangle" of efficiency, security and decentralization
in the view of many bitcoin fundamentalists, only the pow path chosen by Nakamoto is the only right way. POW consensus mechanism has experienced nearly 10 years of stable operation and continuous market test, and dpos has been more than 6 years since its birth. So how about doing an experiment to see what wonderful chemical reactions can be proced by combining bitcoin with dpos
if this dpos version of bitcoin can also withstand the continuous test of 10 years, will we still insist that only POW is the only right way for bitcoin? Of course, we don't have a definite answer to this question. Time will tell
although I also claim to be a believer of bitcoin, I think the existence of LBTC is very meaningful. This significance does not mean to replace bitcoin, or like some fans of other forked coins, I think that only the branch I support is the real bitcoin, but to explore more and wider possibilities in technology and form a useful supplement to bitcoin.
first of all, in order to solve the problems of miners centralization and network congestion in bitcoin, a dpos consensus mechanism based blockchain was formed by the lightning team hard branching bitcoin; That's lightning bitcoin (LBTC), and LBTC is an important part of the bitcoin experiment
however, with the rapid development of bitcoin, it is far from meeting the needs of users, so we have put forward various expansion schemes. Nakamoto originally intended to mine with one CPU per person, but at present, the computing power is concentrated in the hands of some large-scale mines and mining machinery manufacturers, and the code modification authority is in the hands of the core team, Ordinary investors who hold bitcoin can't affect the development of bitcoin at all. They lack decision-making power. The essence of bifurcation is that the bookkeeping right and voting right of bitcoin are not separated
LBTC's consensus algorithm effectively separates bookkeeping rights from voting rights. Once bookkeepers commit crimes, they will be deprived of bookkeeping rights, and there is no room for maneuver
lightning bitcoin mining scheme
1. LBTC uses dpos mechanism to block out, and 0.0625 lbtcs are awarded for each block
2. Mining starts from block 500000 and ends at block 131499999 (the end of 2030)
3. The half cycle is every 42 million blocks, and the first half starts at the 265 million blocks
according to the netizens bought, LBTC supports the millions of transactions per second, which is even more than Alipay's peak trading volume, or even basically a second charge, and the handling fee is 0, with very few miners' expenses.
