Bitcoin light node verification transaction

1.

The remitter will pay bitcoin directly to the other party according to the address of the payee through the computer or smart phone

after the transaction data of bitcoin is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is initially confirmed. When a block is linked to a previous block, the transaction is further confirmed. After six block confirmations in a row, the transaction was irreversibly confirmed

the bitcoin peer-to-peer network stores all transaction history in the "blockchain". The blockchain continues to extend, and once new blocks are added to the blockchain, they will not be removed. In fact, blockchain is a distributed database composed of a group of scattered client nodes and all participants, which is a record of all bitcoin transaction history

extended data

users can buy bitcoin, and at the same time, they can "mine" bitcoin by using computers to perform a large number of calculations according to the algorithm. When users "mine" bitcoin, they need to use the computer to search for 64 bit numbers, and then compete with other gold miners by repeatedly solving puzzles to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, then they will get 25 bitcoins

from 2012 to 2014, bitcoin swept the world, and graally formed the "virtual currency" instry chain represented by bitcoin. This is a change in the financial instry and a new proct of the combination of the financial instry and the Internet. It represents a financial milestone in the new era and marks a new chapter in the history of the Internet. Bitcoin fund is one of the derivative procts represented by bitcoin in the era of "virtual currency"

according to the relevant news reports of Fuhui China, bitcoin fund will be open for operation in the autumn of 2014. Fuhui bitcoin fund, as the world's first operation mode of mutual benefit and win-win with financial management mode, is original and full of temptation and challenge

2. Ah, the transaction logic of bitcoin is generally based on a principle of a blockchain, and then as we say, it is a buy and buy out of content

3. The nodes of bitcoin are software running on the computers of millions of bitcoin users, and millions of bitcoin nodes are interconnected to form a bitcoin network. Bitcoin node software usually includes the following functions:
1) wallet. It's used to store your bitcoin balance. In principle, as long as you have the private key of your own bitcoin address, you can use your own bitcoin
2) verify the transaction or payment. After receiving the transaction, the bitcoin node will use certain algorithms to verify the validity of a transaction. If you only change the balance of bitcoin in your computer, others will not recognize it. Similarly, your wallet will not recognize the transaction changed by others
3) mining. Core wallet can start mining function through a command to join the mining army, while SPV wallet usually can't (SPV is just passing by). However, it is not the node type that hinders home computer mining, but the rapid development of professional mining machines. Compared with ordinary computers, the computing power of ordinary computers is very small. Mining by ordinary computers is like digging your own backyard with a hoe, and then expecting to dig out gold
because of the demand of bitcoin users, bitcoin exchange was born. The exchange provides a place for centralized trading. People put money on the exchange, and the exchange will match and trade together, similar to stocks and securities. Therefore, banning exchanges does not mean banning bitcoin. Bitcoin network cannot be banned. Bitcoin is sent to the exchange's wallet, and all you see is a balance given to you by the exchange. In fact, you no longer have your own bitcoin. Bitcoin network is global. Where there is a network, there will be bitcoin. After the exchange closes, bitcoin will not disappear, but will return to where it should be.

4. The reason why blockchain ledger can be decentralized is that all nodes of the network synchronize the ledger with each other and keep consistent. Therefore, blockchain does not need a centralized bookkeeping institution, so what is the node
bitcoin is a kind of point-to-point e-cash system, more directly, node to node. Each transaction is broadcast by the originator to the nodes around it, and then broadcast to the nodes around it after receiving it, and finally spread to the whole network
every bitcoin wallet is a node, and the node with a complete blockchain ledger is called the whole node. In October 2017, there were about 9300 nodes in the bitcoin network, which were responsible for broadcasting and verifying bitcoin transfer transactions. After the transfer transaction occurs, all nodes broadcast to the whole network. After the mining node verifies that the transaction is correct, it will be recorded in the blockchain ledger. The United States, Germany and France have the largest number of bitcoin nodes, with China accounting for about 5% of the world's total nodes Data source: bitcodes. 21. CO) running bitcoin node does not provide any reward, and it does not need the whole node to transfer bitcoin, so the total number of bitcoin nodes only accounts for a small part of the node number.

5. You are right. Indeed, it will be rolled back. If the transaction is unfortunately packaged on the fork, the transaction is likely to be cancelled after the main chain is synchronized

the reason why we need six confirmations is that it is more difficult to obtain the optimal solution (to prevent single node fraud). One block may also be able to get an optimal solution, and it is basically impossible to get six blocks together. It has nothing to do with bifurcation

6. Bitcoin receives payments almost instantaneously. However, there is an average delay of 10 minutes before the network starts adding your transaction to a block to confirm the transaction and that you can use the received bitcoin. Confirmation means that there is a consensus on the Internet that the bitcoin you receive is not used to pay others, so it is recognized as your property. Once your transaction is included in one block, all subsequent blocks will include it, which will greatly consolidate this consensus and rece the risk of transaction cancellation. Each user can determine the time when the transaction is confirmed, but generally speaking, receiving six confirmations is as safe as waiting six months after a credit card transaction
anyone can become a bitcoin miner by running software on specialized hardware. Mining software monitors transaction broadcast through P2P network and performs appropriate tasks to process and confirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners can earn transaction fees paid by users to speed up transaction processing and additional bitcoin issued according to fixed formula

new transactions need to be included in a block with mathematical workload proof before they can be confirmed. This kind of proof is hard to generate because it can only be generated by trying billions of calculations per second. Miners need to run these calculations before their blocks are accepted and rewarded. As more people start mining, the difficulty of finding effective blocks will be automatically increased by the network to ensure that the average time to find a block remains at 10 minutes. Therefore, the competition for mining is very fierce, and no indivial miner can control the content contained in the block chain
workload proof is also designed to rely on previous blocks, which forces the time sequence of block chain. This design makes it extremely difficult to cancel previous transactions, because the workload proof of all subsequent blocks needs to be recalculated. When two blocks are found at the same time, the miner will process the first block received, and once the next block is found, it will be transferred to the longest block chain. This ensures that the mining process maintains a global consistency based on processing capacity
bitcoin miners can neither increase their rewards by cheating, nor deal with the fraulent transactions that destroy the bitcoin network, because all bitcoin nodes will reject the blocks containing invalid data that violate the bitcoin protocol rules. Therefore, even if not all bitcoin miners can be trusted, the bitcoin network is still secure
if you still don't understand, go to bitcoin home to see the deeper understanding of netizens.

7. No, the transaction that belongs to you, that is, your utxo will be saved to your bitcoin wallet file, and each payment will be found from your wallet database. If you lose the contents of your wallet, you can use your key information to access the service node to retrieve your utxo. If you lose the key, don't worry.

8. The ID of bitcoin transaction you said should be the address of bitcoin wallet. If the address of bitcoin wallet is wrong, you can't send out bitcoin, it will prompt you to go wrong. Another is that bitcoin transactions will be broadcast all over the network. The records of bitcoin transactions can be queried by anyone and cannot be modified

a bitcoin address is like a physical address or an e-mail address. This is the only information you need to provide when someone pays you bitcoin. An important difference, however, is that each address should only be used for a single transaction

block chain is a public record of bitcoin transactions in chronological order. The block chain is shared by all bitcoin users. It is used to verify the permanence of bitcoin transactions and prevent double consumption.

9. You only need to trade on the formal trading website, so you can ensure that it is true, and you don't have to be afraid of being cheated.
