Will bitcoin decrease after it forks
The capacity of a block in bitcoin is 1m (megabytes). A transaction is between 250 and 500 bytes
according to this algorithm, a block contains about 4194.3 transactions
the confirmation time of a block in bitcoin is 10 minutes, so the seven transactions that a block can process per second may sometimes be less than seven
What are the consequences The bifurcations of
bitcoin are divided into hard bifurcations and soft bifurcations
hard fork means that when the block format or transaction format of bitcoin changes, the UN upgraded nodes refuse to verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes
the upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by the non upgraded nodes, and they continue the chain they think is correct, so they are divided into two chains
What is soft bifurcationsoft bifurcation means that when the data structure of bitcoin transaction changes,
UN upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by upgraded nodes,
and upgraded nodes can also verify the blocks proced by UN upgraded nodes
In the discussion of blockchain, bitcoin and other digital currencies, we often hear the word "bifurcation". So what is bifurcation? What is the effect of bifurcation
blockchain
before talking about bifurcation, popularize a little knowledge of blockchain, so as to help us understand what bifurcation is more easily (if you don't have any concept of blockchain, please read my previous articles, which are all popular words to help you understand what blockchain is)
blockchain, as the name suggests, is a chain composed of blocks. Of course, this kind of chain is just a figurative metaphor. To put it bluntly, data blocks are connected orderly. In bitcoin, the transaction records of bitcoin are stored in the block. The size of the block and the space occupied by the transaction records determine how many transactions can be stored in a block. These transaction records are packaged into blocks, and then the blocks are connected one by one to form a blockchain
We know that bitcoin software, like other software, needs to be updated and modified regularly in order to make it better. So a new version will appear, but not everyone will download the new version, so one miner will run the old version, and some will run the new version. If the old and new versions are not compatible, the blockchain will bifurcate. Because there may be differences between the version blocks and the old version blocks, they cannot be connected to the same blockchain, so there will be two or even more chains, which is called bifurcation
soft forking
soft forking refers to that when the new consensus rules are released, nodes that have not been upgraded will proce illegal blocks because they do not know the new consensus rules, resulting in temporary forking. This kind of bifurcation will be graally repaired with the upgrading of nodes
hard fork
hard fork refers to the permanent divergence of the blockchain. After the release of the new consensus rules, some nodes that have not been upgraded cannot verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes, and usually hard fork occurs. Therefore, in the field of digital currency, hard bifurcation often leads to the emergence of new currencies. For example, the hard bifurcation of Ethereum led to the emergence of eth
What is bifurcation? What is bitcoin bifurcationas we all know, there are two common types of bitcoin wallets:
first, the network version, which does not need to be downloaded by users, can directly access the wallet platform through a computer or mobile phone, and use bitcoin wallets
Second, the stand-alone version, which needs to be downloaded from the computer (or the lower end of the mobile phone) and installed before it can be used
in addition, there is a bitcoin wallet (Hard Wallet) similar to U disk
as a bitcoin wallet service platform, coin pack thinks that whether the bitcoin in the wallet will generate new tokens after bifurcation mainly depends on whether the wallet supports bitcoin bifurcation
as a bitcoin wallet, whether it is a network version, a stand-alone version or a hard wallet, it is necessary to compare the bifurcated support of bitcoin before a new token can be generated; Whether there is a new token proct depends on the users
users can also consult the customer service of the wallet to learn about the bifurcations of bitcoin.
The Ministry of Commerce issued the overall pilot plan for comprehensively deepening the innovation and development of service trade, which mentioned that digital RMB pilot projects should be carried out in Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and other pilot areas in central and Western China. The people's Bank of China formulates policy safeguard measures, which are promoted by relevant departments in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou, xiong'an new area and the future Winter Olympic Games scene, and then extended to other regions
as the case may be. For example, two people have digital money bags in legal digital currency in their mobile phones, as long as their mobile phones have electricity, Even if there are no network, two mobile phone can touch the digital coins in one person's electronic wallet to another person, that is to say, the digital money does not need to bind any bank account when it is paid, unlike now, WeChat and Alipay need to bind the bank card, and the statutory digital currency does not need to bind the bank account unless it is charged to the legal digital currency. Or withdraw money from legal digital currency for transfer between financial users and users without account binding
