What is blockchain in Chinese
The strict definition of blockchain refers to the distributed database technology that multiple nodes in peer-to-peer network jointly maintain a continuously growing list ledger constructed by time stamp and orderly record data blocks through consensus mechanism based on cryptography technology. This technical solution allows any number of nodes in the participating system to calculate and record all the information exchange data in the system in a period of time to a data block through cryptography algorithm, and generate the fingerprint of the data block for linking the next data block and checking. All participating nodes in the system jointly determine whether the record is true
blockchain is a technical solution similar to NoSQL (non relational database). It is not a specific technology, and can be implemented through many programming languages and architectures. There are many ways to realize blockchain, including pow (proof of work), POS (proof of stake), dpos (delegate proof of stake), etc
the concept of blockchain was first proposed in the paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system" by indivials (or groups) who call themselves Satoshi Nakamoto. Therefore, bitcoin can be regarded as the first application of blockchain in the field of financial payment
< H2 > [popular explanation]no matter how big the system or how small the website is, there is a database behind it. So who will maintain this database? In general, who is responsible for the operation of the network or system, then who is responsible for the maintenance. If it is wechat database, it must be maintained by Tencent team, and Taobao database is maintained by Alibaba team. We must think that this way is natural, but blockchain technology is not P>
if we think of the database as a book, for example, Alipay is a typical account book. Any change of data is bookkeeping. We can think of database maintenance as a very simple way of accounting. In the world of blockchain, everyone in the blockchain system has the opportunity to participate in bookkeeping. The system will select the fastest and best bookkeeper in a period of time, maybe within ten seconds or ten minutes. The bookkeeper will record the changes of the database and the account book in a block. We can think of this block as a page. After the system confirms that the records are correct, the system will record the changes of the database and the account book in a block, It will link the fingerprint of the past account book to this paper, and then send this paper to everyone else in the whole system. Then, over and over again, the system will look for the next person with fast and good bookkeeping, and everyone else in the system will get a of the whole ledger. This means that everyone as like as two peas in the system is called Blockchain. It is also called distributed account technology. P>
as like as two peas (computer) have identical accounting books, and everyone has the same rights, they will not collapse e to the loss of contact or downtime of a single person. As like as two peas, the data is transparent and everyone can see what changes are in every account. Its very interesting feature is that the data can't be tampered with. Because the system will automatically compare, it will think that the same number of books with the largest number are real books, and a small number of books with different numbers are false books. In this case, it's meaningless for anyone to tamper with his own account book, because unless you can tamper with most nodes in the whole system. If there are only five or ten nodes in the whole system, it may be easy to do so. However, if there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of nodes and they are distributed in any corner of the Internet, unless someone can control most computers in the world, it is unlikely to tamper with such a large block chain
< H2 > [elements]combined with the definition of blockchain, we think that we must have the following four elements to be called public blockchain technology. If we only have the first three elements, we will consider it as private blockchain Technology (private chain)
1, peer-to-peer network (power equivalence, physical point-to-point connection)
2, verifiable data structure (verifiable PKC system, non tampering database)
3, distributed consensus mechanism (Solving Byzantine general problem, solving double payment)
4 Game design of Nash equilibrium (cooperation is the strategy of evolutionary stability)
combined with the definition of blockchain, blockchain will realize four main characteristics: decentralized, trustless, collective maintenance and reliable database. And the other two will be derived from the four characteristics Features: open source Privacy. If a system does not have these characteristics, it can not be regarded as an application based on blockchain technology
Decentralized: there is no centralized hardware or management organization in the whole network. The rights and obligations of any node are equal, and the damage or loss of any node will not affect the operation of the whole system. Therefore, it can also be considered that the blockchain system has excellent robustnesstrustworthiness: there is no need to trust each other when participating in the data exchange between each node in the whole system. The operation rules of the whole system are open and transparent, and all data contents are also open. Therefore, within the specified rule range and time range of the system, nodes cannot and cannot cheat other nodes
collective maintenance: the data blocks in the system are maintained by all the nodes with maintenance function in the whole system, and these nodes with maintenance function can be participated by anyone
reliable database: the whole system will enable each participating node to obtain a of the complete database in the form of sub databases. Unless more than 51% of the nodes in the whole system can be controlled at the same time, the modification of the database on a single node is invalid, and the data content on other nodes cannot be affected. Therefore, the more nodes and computing power in the system, the higher the data security in the system
Open Source: since the operation rules of the whole system must be open and transparent, the whole system must be open source for the program
Privacy Protection: since there is no need to trust each other between nodes, there is no need to disclose the identity between nodes, and the privacy of each participating node in the system is protected
we usually think that the one who maintains the system is the one who manages the database, and other users have no right to participate. Just like the users of a certain treasure can not participate in the specific bookkeeping behavior
but blockchain subverts the tradition and lets every user in the system participate in it
blockchain is like a large total account book. Every user in the system can participate in competitive bookkeeping. In a certain period of time, the system will find the fastest and best users among competitors. The user writes the data changes in this period to a block, just like writing to an account page, and copies this account page to all other users in the system for backup, completing the whole action. In the next period of time, every node in the system has a of the complete ledger
since each block data is linked together through cryptography technology, we call it "blockchain" or "distributed ledger technology"
blockchain, let the whole people participate in bookkeeping. Because there is no specific bookkeeper in the system, any part of the nodes in the system will not affect the operation of the system if they are lost or destroyed. It is safer for all people to keep accounts. The system stipulates that the same number of accounts with the largest number are true accounts, and a small number of accounts that are inconsistent with other users are false accounts. This makes it difficult for a blockchain with enough nodes to be attacked and tampered with. These nodes are distributed in any corner of the Internet. Unless you are God and can control most computers in the world, you cannot tamper with them. Therefore, blockchain is considered to be the most secure way of data management in history. National bookkeeping is more efficient. Because there is no centralized intermediary organization, it can run automatically through pre-set proceres, which can greatly rece costs and improve efficiency, and ensure that the process and content of account records are open and transparent
bitcoin is only an experimental application of blockchain technology in the field of payment. Blockchain can also be used in a broader field, including medical treatment, supply chain, Internet of things, security authentication, social networking and artificial intelligence The economist called blockchain "the trust machine" and believed that it would have a huge and far-reaching impact on global finance and even social structure
to sum up in one sentence, blockchain technology is a way that enables all participants in the system to work together to record and maintain a reliable data log under the environment of multi-party without mutual trust through cryptography technology
bitcoin, blockchain content publishing platform decent and lightcoin all use blockchain technology, and anyone can participate in it in theory.
What is blockchain? What kind of changes will it bring to the future life
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. It is essentially a decentralized database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a batch of bitcoin network transactions, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
in fact, the word blockchain does not appear in the original English version of bitcoin white paper, but the word chain of blocks. In the earliest Chinese translation of bitcoin white paper, chain of blocks was translated into blockchain. This is & lt; Blockchain & quot; This Chinese word first appeared
on January 10, 2019, the state Internet Information Office issued the regulations on the management of blockchain information services, which will come into effect on February 15, 2019
in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in a sequential way according to the time sequence, and it can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography
In the end, this is undoubtedly a new life changing technology. In the future, the proction activities of the whole society will be carried out with blockchain as the underlying logic. Many things are within our reach. With the integration of artificial intelligence and big data, we can easily handle the seemingly complicated things, For example, some securities market transactions and intelligent matching of financial activitiesit's easy to understand that blockchain is the integration of people, property, man, machine, material, man, field and goods, which is packaged into a whole; A network computing center that runs on an infrastructure
