Interesting blockchain
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
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

extended data:
blockchain is far more than a technology, which involves the spirit of "multi-party cooperation". In modern society, a lot of things must rely on everyone's cooperation to achieve 1 + 1 & gt; But we should try our best to avoid the problem of "information asymmetry" in cooperation
therefore, members of the alliance should keep accounts and share data together, and make everything public to eliminate "information asymmetry", so as to protect everyone's interests and make the business environment develop healthily. Honest work will get e benefits, if cheating will naturally be known to all. Technology is the foundation to help achieve this pattern. This is the more important "blockchain thinking"
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies
this is usually the summary of the professional reports, but what is the specific form
first of all, no matter how large a system or how small a 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
secondly, blockchain technology is also known as distributed ledger technology. 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 person with the fastest and best bookkeeping in 10 seconds or 10 minutes, and the person will record the changes of database and account book in a block
we can think of this block as a piece of paper. After confirming that the records are correct, the system will link the fingerprint of the data in the past account book to this piece of paper, and then send this piece of paper to all other people 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
as like as two peas, each computer has the same rights as the owner, and the whole system will not collapse e to the loss of contact or downtime by a single person.
as like as two peas in the book, it means that all data is transparent and open. 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

I don't know if I can understand such a popular explanation

1、 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 disintermediated 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 bitcoin network transaction, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
2. Application
1. Art instry
ascribe enables artists to declare ownership by using blockchain technology, issue numbered and limited edition works, and target at any type of digital form of art. It even includes a trading market where artists can buy and sell through their websites without any intermediary services
In recent years, bitproof is the most advanced application in many document time stamp applications, which will make the traditional notarization method become the past. Bitproof offers more services than free versions including blocksgin and originstaemp, including one for intellectual property. Interestingly, bitproof recently cooperated with an it school in San Francisco to put their students' academic certificates on the blockchain, completely redefining how to handle and use diplomas and student certificates Development instry colu is the first enterprise to allow other enterprises to issue digital assets. They can "token" all kinds of assets to impress many people. Although the free bitcoin wallet couperparty also allows simple tokens to be issued and traded among other wallet holders, the tokens of colu can be set with various states and types, can be detached from or returned to the system, and can be stored on BitTorrent's network when the data stored on the blockchain is too large4. Real estate instry
they plan to make the whole instry chain process more modern and solve various problems faced by everyone when participating in real estate, including naming process, land registration, agency, etc
5, Internet of things
a possible application scenario is: generate corresponding behavior through transaction, assign address to each device, inject a certain fee into the address, and perform relevant actions, so as to achieve the application of Internet of things. Similar to: PM2.5 monitoring point data acquisition, server leasing, webcam data call, DNS server, etc
6. Insurance instry in the past two years, the hottest topic in the field of science and technology can not be separated from blockchain technology. This underlying technology, born out of bitcoin, has proved its highly secure and reliable architecture and algorithm design with more than seven years of stable operation. At the same time, with innovative technologies such as distributed ledger and smart contract, it has opened up a huge imagination space for instrial upgrading of many instries. Some instry experts even predict that blockchain technology will set off the second Internet revolution
extended materials:
in 2008, Nakamoto proposed the concept of "blockchain" in the white paper on bitcoin, and established bitcoin network in 2009, developing the first block, namely "Genesis block"
the shared value system of blockchain was first imitated by many cryptocurrencies, and improved in workload proof and algorithm, such as equity proof and scrypt algorithm. Subsequently, the blockchain ecosystem has been evolving all over the world, with the emergence of ICO for the first token sale, Ethereum for smart contract blockchain, "asset token sharing economy with light ownership and heavy right to use" and blockchain countries
at present, people are using this shared value system to develop decentralized applications (DAPP) in all walks of life, and build decentralized autonomous organizations and decentralized autonomous communities (DAS) around the world
then, how to judge whether blockchain technology is reliable depends on two main points
first, there should be a real application scenario. No matter how small the application scenario is, it must be valuable
whether blockchain technology can finally be implemented depends on many complex factors, and one of the key points is the application scenario. To find the corresponding application scenario, we should start from the technical characteristics of blockchain itself. Blockchain technology can provide decentralized, tamper proof, safe and reliable characteristic guarantee without introcing third-party intermediaries
Second, the application of blockchain technology should be able to solve problems, not manufacturing problems
with real application scenarios, it also hit the pain points in the instry, but these are not enough to make blockchain technology truly land in the real economy and realize the integration with the real economy. Because the most critical point depends on whether the blockchain technology is applied to solve the problem
with the application of blockchain technology and the assistance of some Internet of things devices, investors can query the real-time and dynamic data of the project at any time, and can directly monitor the progress of the project in different places even without leaving home
using blockchain technology to solve the original difficult problems, combined with the real application scenarios, the implementation of blockchain technology in the real economy has become a natural thing.
because the mining machine has a service life, in order to ensure that the computing power does not decline, it only provides a 2-year lease term
openness mainly refers to that the stored information in the blockchain is completely open to all participants. This is mainly determined by the point-to-point network storage mode of the blockchain. In the blockchain network, each node can store a of the blockchain, and the uniqueness of the blockchain can ensure that the is exactly the same between different nodes
security mainly refers to that the information stored in the blockchain block is saved after being processed by digital encryption technology, and only the private key holder can decrypt the information to obtain the real information. Other members can only see and verify the integrity and uniqueness of information, but cannot see the real information
uniqueness is mainly e to the fact that the information on the blockchain cannot be tampered with once it is on the chain, so it is unique. Of course, the uniqueness here also includes the uniqueness in space, that is, all nodes have only one version of information, and also includes the uniqueness in time, that is, the historical data cannot be changed. This uniqueness also means that the blockchain maintains the characteristics of a unique main chain in the process of operation, and once other chains appear, it is a bifurcation. The emergence of bifurcation will lead to the plication of blockchain in two different spatial dimensions. Of course, to solve this problem, we need to set reasonable consensus rules to avoid. When the concept of blockchain was hot, many related top domain names were registered and used as blockchain platforms.
