The essence of blockchain technology is a way

1. blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system
blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin, like a database ledger, recording all transaction records. Because of its safety and convenience, this technology has graally attracted the attention of the banking and financial instry
in April 2018, a group of scholars from Oxford University announced the establishment of Woolf University, the world's first blockchain University
in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order in a sequential way, and it can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography
broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method, which uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access, and uses intelligent contract composed of automated script code to program and operate data.

2. In essence, jinwowo thinks that blockchain technology mainly includes the following points:

1. Data storage: breaking the big data monopoly and promoting the growth of big data
2. Data analysis: providing detailed data reports and helping enterprises operate accurately
3. Data tracking: tracing the proct service process and ensuring the integrity image of enterprises
4 Data security: stop illegal data reselling and reshape data circulation rules

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

4. The essence of blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger. Every transaction is recorded in this account book, and each participating node has one , so as to prevent the account book from being tampered with. Data loss will not be caused by the failure of a single node (such as the centralized server of the bank), and it can exist forever
it establishes a set of consensus mechanism to ensure the authenticity of data, and establishes trust between nodes that do not know each other. The participating nodes work together to maintain the healthy growth of the system
in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of participants, bitcoin, the first application of blockchain, was created.

5. The essence of blockchain is a distributed ledger. For example, the bank system is also the account book, which has a complete set of information system to store various transaction information such as access, loan, exchange and so on. Blockchain has several keywords:
1. Distributed: ledger is not only stored in one place, but in many places
2. General ledger: you can determine that you are not necessarily a machine stored general ledger through the network, but you can at least obtain the general ledger from the network
3. Decentralization: "distributed" is not a general distribution, but a decentralized distribution. No one can control and tamper with it, its accounting rules are based on some designed mathematical method to account for all rights. How to test, how to use, are in accordance with an open method to complete, so in essence is an account book
coin Ying China is the first to introce blockchain into the crowdfunding instry, making crowdfunding more open, transparent and simple.

6. The general classification of Chongqing jinwowo analysis blockchain technology is as follows:
1 - Open blockchain
2 - Collaborative blockchain
3 - private blockchain.

A: the basic characteristics of blockchain

I. decentralization
blockchain technology does not rely on additional third-party management institutions or hardware facilities, and there is no central control. In addition to the self-contained blockchain itself, each node realizes information self verification, transmission and management through distributed accounting and storage

Second, openness

the foundation of blockchain technology is open source. In addition to the private information of all parties involved in the transaction is encrypted, the data of blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent

Third, independence

based on consensus specifications and Protocols (similar to various mathematical algorithms such as hash algorithm used by bitcoin), the whole blockchain system does not rely on other third parties, and all nodes can automatically and safely verify and exchange data in the system without any human intervention

Four, safety

as long as 51% of all data nodes cannot be controlled, the network data cannot be arbitrarily controlled and modified, which makes the blockchain itself relatively safe and avoids subjective and artificial data changes

5. Anonymity

unless there are legal requirements, technically speaking, the identity information of each block node does not need to be disclosed or verified, and the information transmission can be anonymous

8. Chongqing

analysis
the essence of blockchain
technology is as follows:
blockchain is essentially a value based on P2P
transmission protocol
, we can not only see P2P, but not value transmission
similarly, we can not only see the value transmission, but also the underlying technology of blockchain.
