Blockchain technology traditional technology

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. First of all, we can take a look at the official website explanation of blockchain technology. 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 is a distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptography
broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing paradigm, 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
as we all know, blockchain technology is an independent underlying architecture from bitcoin system. From the perspective of architecture model, it is a set of distributed ledger, which is naturally used for bookkeeping
in the blockchain technology, if you want to generate accounting records, you need to have the transaction and flow of funds. Therefore, in the initial blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency corresponding to the main network is used as circulation goods, and the circulation transaction records of cryptocurrency between the accounts of the main network of the blockchain will be recorded on the main network
different from other transaction record databases, transaction records on the main network of blockchain technology will be recorded on all block nodes (i.e. all data blocks) in the main network, which is the so-called decentralization principle. That is to say, in blockchain technology, there is no central database to store all records, Every block on the chain has the transaction data of the whole chain, that is to say, every data block is the center
another feature of blockchain technology is that it can't be tampered with, because every transaction on the blockchain will be recorded in all blocks on the chain, so no single data block can change the record. Even if you change it, all other data blocks will also record real data, and each group of data can be traced back to the first time
because of these characteristics of blockchain technology, after the advent of bitcoin, blockchain has also attracted a lot of attention, and many people also began to want to use blockchain technology to make a centerless, traceable and unchangeable data, so as to ensure the credibility of the data
however, blockchain technology also faces many problems, such as single application scenario, non modifiable original error data, non recoverable currency stolen by hackers, etc.

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

4. Hello, we are Shanghai wanglian Information Technology Co., Ltd. compared with traditional technology, blockchain has the property that cannot be tampered with. Vonetracer, the blockchain traceability system launched by our company, adopts a variety of data acquisition methods, one thing and one code, which is true and reliable. It applies instry-leading technology, and the bottom layer adopts the baas platform of blockchain service developed by wangchain. This kind of technical characteristics can ensure that the data is different from the traditional traceability, and the data reliability will be greatly improved.

5. One is that each node of the blockchain stores complete data according to the block chain structure. Traditional distributed storage generally divides the data into multiple copies according to certain rules
Second, the storage of each node in the blockchain is independent and has the same status, which relies on the consensus mechanism to ensure the consistency of storage, while the traditional distributed storage generally synchronizes data from the central node to other backup nodes
data nodes can be different physical machines or different instances in the cloud
the above is the difference between the blockchain technology of jinwowo network analysis and the traditional distributed storage, for reference.

6. Compared with the past, various anti-counterfeiting technologies have been adopted in commodity traceability, but the results are not satisfactory. Using the traceability of blockchain technology, through the deep combination of logistics management, commodity anti-counterfeiting, commodity traceability, manufacturing management, instry collaboration and other fields, the traceability and security of commodities are increased. Cipher finance mimacaijing focuses on blockchain information.

7. Jinwowo Group believes that the advantages of blockchain are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Decentralization: blockchain does not need a centralized server, and all data are stored in distributed form on each node in each chain. In case one or more nodes' data is damaged or tampered, the operation of the whole blockchain will not be affected, There will be no data confusion

2. Consensus mechanism: the data on the blockchain is trusted and belongs to the feature that the data on each node of the blockchain cannot be tampered with. The connection between any two nodes in the chain does not need to trust each other's identity. Any node in the network can act as the "supervisor" identity, so there is no need to worry about fraud

3. Smart contract: smart contract defines commitment in the form of numbers, and both parties of the contract must implement the commitment agreement, so as to get through the information circulation standard of each link with the best efficiency, and all nodes on the blockchain will synchronize this information.

8. 1-blockchain can drive the birth of a new business model
the characteristics of blockchain technology enable it to achieve some business models that are difficult to achieve in the centralized mode
2 - blockchain technology has a flexible architecture
according to different application scenarios and user needs, blockchain technology can be divided into public chain, private chain and alliance chain, which can be selected according to the actual use of institutions
the openness of 3-chain technology encourages innovation and collaboration
through the opening and cooperation of source code, blockchain technology can promote the cooperation among different developers, researchers and institutions, and learn from each other, so as to achieve a more efficient and secure solution
jinwowo will use blockchain technology to fully record big data sources and improve storage.
