Blockchain technology node

1.

From the perspective of technology and architecture, I will tell you my understanding of blockchain in common language

what is blockchain? In a word, blockchain is a storage system. To be more specific, blockchain is a distributed storage system without an administrator and each node has all the data

What are the common storage systems like

first, how to ensure high availability

the common storage system usually uses "rendancy" to solve the problem of high availability. As shown in the figure above, if the data can be copied into several copies and rendant to multiple places, high availability can be guaranteed. The data in one place is hung, and there is data in other places. For example, the master-slave cluster of MySQL is the same principle, and the raid of disk is also the same principle

two points need to be emphasized in this place are: data rendancy often leads to consistency problems

1. For example, in the master-slave cluster of MySQL, there is actually a delay in reading and writing, which means there is a inconsistency in reading and writing in a short period of time. This is a side effect of data rendancy

The second point is that data rendancy often reces the efficiency of writing, because data synchronization also consumes resources. If you add two slave libraries, the write efficiency will be affected. The common storage system is to use rendancy to ensure the high availability of data

so the second question, ordinary storage system, can write more

the answer is yes, for example, take this graph as an example:

in fact, MySQL can do a master-slave synchronization of al masters, master-slave synchronization of al masters, two nodes can be written at the same time. If you want to do a multi room multi live data center, in fact, multi room multi live data synchronization. What we should emphasize here is that multi-point writing often leads to the consistency problem of writing conflicts. Take MySQL as an example, suppose that the attribute of a table is self incrementing ID, then the data in the database is 1234 now. If one of the nodes writes and inserts a piece of data, it may become 5, and then these 5 pieces of data are synchronized to another master node, Before synchronization, if another write node inserts a piece of data, a piece of data with self incrementing ID of 5 will be generated. Then, after the generation, synchronize to another node, and the synchronized data will conflict with the two local 5's after it arrives, which will lead to synchronization failure and write consistency conflict. This problem will occur in the case of multi-point writing

how to ensure consistency in multi-point writing

the reform "Swan class" gives you more technical work

2. The decentralized nodes in Chongqing jinwowo analysis blockchain technology are as follows:
every central node can generate blocks and write data, so every point is a central node, or the blockchain is decentralized. In order to control the whole system, more than half of the nodes must be controlled in order to control voting, so there is no administrator in this system.

3. A lot of network, or in a group said easy to understand. Teach you to understand with mathematical knowledge (node is a point, block is a line, and blockchain is a surface). Node is the basic unit of information processing in blockchain application technology. After processing information, many nodes will be timestamped, generate data blocks, and connect blocks in time sequence to form blockchain.

4. Jinwowo analysis: a node is actually a computer (server) connected to the blockchain. Any connected computer can access the blockchain, so there are countless nodes on the blockchain; However, the number of blocks on the blockchain is limited, that is, one block is generated every 10 minutes, and no new blocks will be added after reaching a certain number.

5. A node is a regional server. In the Internet area, all the running data of an enterprise are in a server, then the server is the node
it's like wechat that we use every day, dealing with so many chat messages, transfers and so on. These data are stored and run in Tencent's server. Then the server that processes data can be called "node"
in addition to the world of blockchain, we all know that blockchain is a decentralized distributed database. It does not rely on any centralized server, but is composed of tens of thousands of "small servers". As long as we download a blockchain client, we will become one of the thousands of "small servers"

in this way, if we want to play blockchain, we are equivalent to a node
nodes are also divided into light nodes and full nodes. The whole node is the node that has all the transaction data of the whole network, so the light node only has its own related transaction data node
moreover, the more widely distributed the nodes are, the more decentralized the blockchain network will be, and the more secure and stable the network operation will be. The existence of nodes is the representation of distributed blockchain, and also the charm of blockchain
