Three dimensional blockchain
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 dataso 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
in the first stage, blockchain is still a kind of network infrastructure construction. Enterprises providing high-quality technical services can charge technical service fees, and can also use this technology in some anti-counterfeiting systems such as Maotai liquor and luxury goods
in the second stage, the application segment will be implemented. At present, many scenarios such as storage, game operation, user payment, currency issuance and investment fund can also be realized through blockchain. However, this part of the profit belongs to the application publisher, just as an online game manufacturer uses C + + to write a game. C + + is blockchain technology, but it is the manufacturer who makes money, However, in the short term, large-scale application is still difficult
in the third stage, monetization, securitization and life-oriented are fairly recognized. Considering that the essence of currency issuing right is monopolized by the state violent machine, the property owner of seigniorage must belong to the government department, and the blockchain of currency and securities must go through a process of public power to understand, accept and allow. But it the first mock exam that this technology will also have far-reaching impact on the digitalization of money, and the profit margin under this mode is limitless.
