A blockchain
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,
in essence, it is a decentralized 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 a batch of information of bitcoin network transactions, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
extended data
most blockchain public chains are limited by scalability. The biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, which requires that all accounts in the network need to deal with the accounting process. Distributed accounting has high security, low misoperation rate, political neutrality and correctness
however, blockchain technology embraces these features at the same time, sacrificing scalability, unable to meet the personalized supervision, and slightly insufficient in protecting data privacy. Moreover, with the increase of the number of ledger, the interaction delay will increase exponentially, that is to say, the more ledger in the blockchain network, the higher the delay

recommendation: this book is mainly for programmers. Combined with API programming, we can tell you the principle and usage of cryptocurrency, as well as how to develop related software. For non programmer readers, the first few chapters of this book are still applicable as in-depth introction of bitcoin Book pdf download: https://quant.la/Download
in today's life, many people use this pretext to cheat, such as direct selling, capital, technology, etc. There is no right or wrong in technology, but in people
with the progress of the times and society, the beginning of the application of any technology will be questioned positively and negatively. However, with the relative application and maturity of technology and the improvement of technology, the various applications around people will continue to improve. I believe that in the near future, these doubts will graally dissipate
the following is a summary of some blockchain scams around us
trap 1: block chain is the coin trap
trap two: virtual currency transactions, promise low investment, high return
trap three: centralization can solve all problems
trap four: block chain extension procts can be laid down with a mining machine to earn money
trap five: WeChat, Alipay trading transactions virtual currency
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. Decentralization is the most prominent and essential feature of blockchain
openness. Blockchain technology is based on 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
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
