Ethereum and BTC
BTC bitcoin
bitcoin is the first distributed digital asset platform created. Since its launch in 2009, it has proven to be not only the most popular, but also the largest market capital value. In addition, it is also the most expensive, with a value of $10710 per coin on February 17, 2018. Bitcoin introces the first blockchain distributed ledger dedicated to recording all transactions, and gets rid of the function that users need a central authority to process or verify transactions
its goal is to provide a platform for users to conct cross-border transactions without any intermediary, which is what we call decentralization. The platform's largest money (BTC) supply is about 21 million. Of this figure, about 16.5 million have been mined and are now in circulation. It is mined all the time around the world to ensure the circulation of coins
Advantages:1. Its distributed system provides users with great freedom
2. High portability

2. The user may lose the key
eth Ethereum
Ethereum is also a distributed platform, which was created by Network Programmer vitalik buterin in July 2015. Ethereum aims to enable users to create and deploy smart contracts. One of the main functions of smart contracts is to allow the creation of encrypted assets or tokens running on Ethereum networks. Ethereum token is used to purchase various functions such as cloud storage space. These tokens are stored in a digital wallet compatible with Ethereum blockchain
Ethereum's digital currency ether serves as the medium for executing smart contracts. At present, about 98 million ether coins have been mined and circulated, and the circulation supply increases by about 18 million every year. Ethernet coin is created to run on the Ethereum network. It can be used to compensate the participant nodes or transfer from one user to another

< H2 > extended data:generation principle:
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the finite solutions of a system of equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique
in the metaphor of banknotes, bitcoin is the number of the top word of a banknote. The number of the top word on a banknote owns the banknote. 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 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start
after completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to post the address to others, and you can pay through the same client
after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
Bitcoin uses SHA-256 encryption algorithm. When mining, it competes with computing power. In order to improve computing power, bitcoin has gone through four stages: CPU mining, GPU mining, FPGA mining and now ASIC mining machine mining, and the degree of specialization is getting higher and higher
Ethereum uses the ethash encryption algorithm. In the process of mining, it needs to read the memory and store the DAG file. Because the bandwidth of each read memory is limited, and the existing computer technology is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough in this problem, so no matter how to improve the computing efficiency of the computer, the memory read efficiency will not be greatly improved. Therefore, in a sense, Ethereum's ethash encryption algorithm is ASIC resistant.
different encryption algorithms lead to great differences in mining equipment and computing power between bitcoin and Ethereum
at present, bitcoin mining equipment is mainly ASIC mining machine with a very high degree of specialization. The maximum computing power of a single mining machine is 110t / s, and the scale of computing power of the whole network is more than 120eh / s
the main mining equipment of Ethereum is video card miner, and there are very few specialized ASIC miner. On the one hand, the "ASIC resistance" of Ethereum mining algorithm improves the threshold of developing ASIC miner. On the other hand, after Ethereum is upgraded to 2.0, the consensus mechanism will be transformed into POS, and the miner can not continue mining
compared with the ASIC miner, the graphics card miner has two orders of magnitude difference in computing power. At present, the computing power of mainstream graphics card miner (8 cards) is about 420mh / s, and that of Ethereum is about 230th / s.
from the time dimension of the past two years, bitcoin's computing power of the whole network is growing rapidly, while Ethereum's computing power of the whole network is growing relatively slowly
The ASIC mining machine of
bitcoin is monopolized by several major mining machine manufacturers, and miners can only buy it from the market; Although the graphics card miner of Ethereum is also manufactured by a special miner, the miner can buy accessories from the market and assemble them according to his own demand
although bitcoin and Ethernet are both digital currencies, unlike bitcoin, the main purpose of Ethernet is not to build itself as a payment substitute, but to facilitate and monetize the operation of Ethereum, so that developers can build and run distributed applications
The user groups of Ethernet and bitcoin are different
mahjong is the earliest application of blockchain in China:
the idea that a wants to play mahjong is equivalent to creating a block:
a calls to inform B, C and D, which means "decentralization & quot; Point to point transmission of
ABCD has formed a consensus that the touch action is "mining", and four people are "miners"
mahjong is a hash value. The Hu card is to hit the correct hash value and get the corresponding chip reward, which is called bitcoin
each of the four recorded the first round of the game. In the whole blockchain, this is only one node. If 20 mahjong games were played that day, that is, 20 nodes (blocks), and 20 blocks were connected together to form a complete ledger, that is blockchain< According to historical records, China is the world's earliest application group in blockchain, so you can be proud to say that China is more than 1000 years ahead of the world in blockchain application
it's powerful. Our country is [strong] [strong] [strong]
