bitcoin is a kind of electronic currency / network virtual currency

bitcoin: also known as "bitcoin", is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods

on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency

from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees

extended data:

currency features:

1, decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, the whole network is composed of users, and there is no central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom

2, global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3, exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4, low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

6, cross platform mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

advantages of bitcoin:

1, it is completely decentralized, without issuing institutions, it is impossible to manipulate the number of issues. Its distribution and circulation are realized through open-source P2P algorithm

2, anonymity, tax exemption and supervision free

3, robustness. Bitcoin is completely dependent on P2P network and has no distribution center, so it cannot be shut down externally. Bitcoin price may fluctuate and collapse, and many governments may declare it illegal, but bitcoin and its huge P2P network will not disappear

4, borderless and cross-border. Cross border remittance will go through layers of exchange control agencies, and the transaction records will be recorded by many parties. But if you trade with bitcoin, enter the digital address directly, click the mouse and wait for the P2P network to confirm the transaction, a lot of money will pass. It does not go through any regulatory agencies and will not leave any cross-border transaction records

5, Shanzhai people are difficult to survive. Because bitcoin algorithm is completely open source, anyone can download the source code, modify some parameters, recompile, and create a new P2P currency

but these counterfeit currencies are very fragile and vulnerable to 51% attacks. Any indivial or organization, as long as it controls 51% of the computing power of a P2P currency network, can manipulate transactions and currency value at will, which will be a devastating blow to P2P currency

many counterfeit coins die in this link. The bitcoin network is robust enough. If you want to control 51% of the computing power of the bitcoin network, the number of CPUs / GPUs required will be astronomical

the weakness of bitcoin

1, the fragility of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities

2, the transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed

3, the price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading

4, the public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control

but the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even distinguish between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless

2. In fact, people will not let such a thing happen, because once someone controls 51% of the computing power of the whole network, the security and non tamperability of the system will be invalid, then the decentralization system of bitcoin will collapse, and the price of bitcoin will plummet or even return to zero, which is bad news for the participants of the whole network. Therefore, we will spontaneously control the distribution of computing power in the whole network, so as not to let one company dominate. Even when many people find that the computing power of a certain mine is too large, they will take the initiative to withdraw from the mine. Now the most powerful mining pool in the whole network accounts for about 25% of the whole network.

3. The general idea of "fragmentation" is to change each block in the blockchain network into a sub blockchain, in which several (currently 100) collations (which can be called "check blocks", in order to distinguish them from the concept of blocks in the scenario of fragmentation) packed with transaction data can be accommodated, and these collations finally form a block on the main chain; Because these collations exist as blocks as a whole, their data must be packaged and generated by a specific miner, which is essentially the same as the blocks in the existing protocol, so there is no need to add additional network confirmation. In this way, the trading capacity of each block will be expanded about 100 times; And this kind of design is also concive to future expansion. At present, the whole expansion plan is roughly divided into four stages; This article only introces the implementation details of the first phase. Transferred from Jianshu.

Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual electronic currency, and its price has experienced roller coaster like ups and downs. It has no physical support, to put it bluntly, a string of computer code. Personally, I think this is a very unreliable thing. The Internet bubble is very big. In November 2013, the price of bitcoin once reached a high level of 8000 yuan / piece. Subsequently, the central bank, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks, and the price of bitcoin plummeted. Now the price of bitcoin is more than 2300 yuan / piece

Jingxuan finance didn't you send a lot of articles a few days ago. China is now investigating bitcoin. Crash

5. No visual inspection. Although the idea is good, if you can, then there will be hackers.

6. The so-called 51% attack is to take advantage of bitcoin's ability to use computing power as a competitive condition to cancel the payment transactions that have already taken place

if someone has mastered more than 50% of the computing power, he can find the random number needed for mining blocks faster than others, so he actually has the absolute effective right of which block
he can:
1. Modify his own transaction records, which enables him to make double payments
2. Prevent the block from confirming some or all of the transactions
3. Prevent some or all of the miners from mining into any effective block

7. Gemstones can be obtained by mining. There are nine colors of jewels: red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, black and white. Except for black and white gemstones, other gemstones can be excavated in Taoyuan Village and other countries' mines. Qin: Ruby Zhao state: Orange Ruby Chu state: Topaz Yan state: Emerald Qi: sapphire Korea: sapphire. Black and white gemstones can be obtained from Luoyi mine. It has the following functions: synthesis of seven color gem, synthesis of night pearl and inlay of seven color gem. The synthesis of seven color gemstones needs seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple and 1 million yuan of money; To synthesize a night pearl, we need red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, black and white gemstones and 2 million yuan of money; A wedding ring inlaid with seven color gems needs a wedding ring, seven color gems and a million yuan of money.

8. Let's say that the value of bitcoin is basically equal to the cost of mining, and the server cost is the rent of renting the server for one year. The bitcoin exchange rate is about $1000 a bitcoin. At present, 25 bitcoins are generated in 10 minutes, that is, about $25000 per 10 minutes, 150000 per hour, 3.6 million per day, and about $1.28 billion per year. If you want to maintain 51% of the computing power for one year, that is, you need to increase the computing power equivalent to $1.3 billion of server rent. If we want to maintain the short-term computing power, the price will not necessarily decrease a lot, because the price of short-term renting servers will be much higher. And the current mining machinery is basically ordered directly like the manufacturer, the actual cost is much lower than renting the server. Therefore, the cost of launching a 51% attack on bitcoin is not low
please accept if you are satisfied

9. If one has more than 51% of the computing power of the whole network, he can control the authenticity of the information in the new bitcoin block, and he can succeed in double spending
