Blockchain revolution mobi
Contracts, transactions and their records are an important part of our social, economic, legal and political systems. They protect our assets and define the boundaries of the organization. They formed and verified our personal identity and various historical events. They manage a series of activities between the state, organizations, communities and indivials. They direct all management and social activities. But these key tools and the bureaucracy that manages them have not kept pace with the digital transformation of the economy. It's like F1 racing in a big jam. In a digital world, our way of supervision and administrative control must be changed
blockchain has the potential to solve this problem. As the core supporting technology of bitcoin and other virtual currencies, blockchain is an open, distributed ledger, which can effectively record the transaction records between the two parties, and can be verified and permanently saved. The ledger itself can be programmed to automatically trigger transaction completion
five basic principles of blockchain technology
1. Distributed database
each party on the blockchain can obtain all data and complete historical records. No one can control data or information. Each party can directly verify the records of all parties to the transaction without mediation
2. Point to point communication
each independent point can communicate directly without a central node. Each node can store information and transfer all information to all other nodes
3. Limited transparency
users who have access to the system can see every transaction and its value. Each node or user on the blockchain has a unique address composed of letters and numbers, which can be used as the identity of the user. Users can choose to remain anonymous or disclose their identity to others. Transactions occur between addresses on the blockchain
4. Records cannot be changed
once the transaction results enter the database, the account information will be updated accordingly, and the records cannot be changed, because these information are related to all previous transaction records (this is the source of the term "chain"). Various calculation algorithms and methods are used to ensure that the records in the database are permanent, sorted in chronological order, and can be seen by all other people in the network
5. Computational logic
the digital nature of the ledger means that blockchain transactions can be connected with computational logic, and can actually be realized by programming. All users can set algorithms and rules, so that transactions can be automatically triggered between nodes
with blockchain technology, we can imagine that in a new world, contracts are stored in a transparent shared database in the form of digital programming, and will not be deleted, tampered with or revised. In such a world, every protocol, every process, every task and every payment will have a digital record and a digital signature that can be identified, verified, stored and shared. Intermediaries such as lawyers, brokers and bankers are no longer necessary. Indivials, organizations, machines and algorithms can freely interact and trade with each other without friction. This is the infinite potential of blockchain
in fact, almost everyone has heard that blockchain will bring revolutionary impact on enterprises and redefine enterprises and economy. Although we are enthusiastic about the potential of blockchain, we are also worried about exaggeration. It's not just security issues (such as the collapse of a bitcoin exchange in 2014 and the recent hacker attacks) that worry us. The experience of research on technological innovation tells us that if there is a blockchain revolution in the future, there will be many obstacles - technological, governance, organizational and social obstacles. It is likely to lead to a big mistake to rashly apply blockchain technology innovation before we really understand blockchain thoroughly
we believe that it will take many years for blockchain to bring real changes to enterprises and governments. Because blockchain is not a "disruptive" technology, disruptive technology can impact the traditional business model with low-cost solutions, and can quickly replace traditional enterprises. We believe that blockchain is a basic technology: it has the potential to create a new foundation for our economic and social system. But its impact is very extensive, and it will take decades for blockchain to penetrate into economic and social infrastructure. The process of blockchain popularization will be graal, and this process and its strategic significance will be the focus of this paper
technology adoption mode
before discussing blockchain strategy and investment, let's recall the technology adoption process we know below, especially the adoption process of other basic technologies. One of the most relevant examples is the distributed computer network technology, that is, the adoption of TCP / IP protocol, which has laid the foundation for the development of the Internet
TCP / IP first appeared in 1972 and has been widely concerned in an independent application scenario: it is the basis for sending e-mail between researchers on ARPANET, which is the predecessor of the commercial Internet developed by the U.S. Department of defense. Before TCP / IP, the communication system architecture was built on the basis of "circuit switching". The connection between two parties or two machines must be preset and maintained through the switch. In order to ensure that any two nodes can communicate, telecom service providers and equipment manufacturers have invested billions of dollars in dedicated lines
TCP / IP has completely changed the above mode. The new protocol digitizes the information and decomposes it into many small packets, each packet contains address information. Once these packets are released into the network, they can reach the receiver by any route. The data sending point and receiving point in the network can decompose the data packets, combine the data packets again, and interpret the data. There is no need for dedicated lines or large-scale infrastructure. TCP / IP creates an open and shared public network, which has no central organization or main body responsible for maintenance and update
traditional telecom enterprises and related enterprises are suspicious of TCP / IP. Rarely imagine that data, information, audio and video can be established under the new system, and rarely imagine that the related system will be very safe and develop rapidly. However, from the late 1980s to the 1990s, more and more enterprises, such as sun, next, HP and silicon graphics, used TCP / IP to develop their internal LAN. By doing so, they have developed technologies that go beyond e-mail and graally replace traditional LAN technologies and standards. With the adoption of these newly developed technologies and tools, the proction efficiency of enterprises has been greatly improved< In the mid-1990s, the emergence of the world wide web made TCP / IP widely used. The newly founded high-tech enterprises began to provide relevant "tools" - hardware, software and related services, which are necessary for connecting with the current open network and exchanging information. Netscape has commercialized browsers, web servers and other tools and components. Sun company promotes the development of Java. With the exponential growth of information on the Internet, Infoseek, excite, Altavista, and Yahoo are leading users to use TCP / IP technology
once this basic infrastructure is widely accepted, the new generation of enterprises can seize the opportunity brought by low-cost Internet access to create more Internet services, which in turn helps to replace the original business model. CNET has moved news online. Amazon sells more books than any physical bookstore. Priceline and Expedia make it easier to buy tickets, and the whole purchase process is more transparent. These new enterprises expand their business at a very low cost, making traditional enterprises such as newspapers and physical retail stores feel unprecedented pressure
relying on the widespread Internet, enterprises can create novel and revolutionary applications, which are enough to fundamentally change the traditional business model and create value. These enterprises are built on the new P2P architecture, and generate value by coordinating the users of the distributed network. Imagine how eBay has changed the online retail business through auction mode, Napster has changed the music instry, Skype has changed the telecommunications instry, and Google has changed the Internet search by using the links formed by users to provide more accurate search results
many enterprises have used blockchain to track goods in the supply chain. Finally, it took more than 30 years for TCP / IP to become widely accepted - used alone, locally applied, replaced and transformed - and reshape our economy. Today, more than half of the world's most valuable listed companies are Internet driven, platform based business models. The foundation of our economy has fundamentally changed. Physical assets and proprietary intellectual property rights are no longer the guarantee of competitive advantage; Enterprises that lead economic development can play a key role, especially in organizing, influencing and coordinating a wide range of community networks, users and organizations
new system
blockchain, the P2P network at the top of the Internet, came into people's view as the core foundation of bitcoin in October 2008. Bitcoin is a virtual monetary system, which does not issue currency through the central authority, transfers ownership and confirms transactions. Bitcoin is the first practical application of blockchain technology
the similarities between blockchain and TCP / IP are obvious. Just as email allows people to exchange information, bitcoin allows people to trade with each other. The development and maintenance of blockchain is open, distributed and shared - just like TCP / IP. There's a group of volunteers around the world maintaining their core software. Like email, bitcoin has received enthusiastic support from people at the beginning, but only a relatively small number of people
TCP / IP greatly reces the cost of interconnection, thus creating new value for economic development. Similarly, blockchain can significantly rece transaction costs. Blockchain has the potential to become all transaction recording systems. If this becomes a reality, new enterprises based on blockchain technology will influence and control emerging instries, and the economy will experience fundamental changes again
let's first look at how enterprises operate. Recording transactions is the core work that every enterprise must do. These records track past activities and achievements and provide guidance for the future. They can not only let people understand how the enterprise operates internally, but also let people know how to keep in touch with the outside world. Every enterprise or organization has its own records, and these records are private and confidential. Many enterprises do not have a general ledger record of all activities of the enterprise; On the contrary, all records are scattered in various branches or departments within the enterprise. The problem is that it takes a long time to coordinate transactions between indivials and private ledgers

because the so-called proction relationship is actually how to do business between people and business partners. And these things, originally, are in the cognitive process between people, and there is no special program to program or quantify it
for example, if you and I are good friends now, we can do business. If someone stirs up our relationship and we are not good friends, we will not do business. Even if we can make money in business, we will not do business because there is no trust between us
as for blockchain, it is actually because the data is authenticated by all nodes and backed up at the same time, so my data is as real as possible and can't be tampered with. In this case, if you believe my data, you can make a program on this basis, and then use the data to make what kind of business contract, what kind of service, what kind of service, and what kind of service, what kind of service, what kind of service, what kind of service, what kind of service, what kind of service, what kind of service, etc This "proction relationship" of commercial cooperation is programmed. In this way, we believe in the data and the program compiled by the algorithm. Because you believe in the data and the program, you can develop all kinds of apps in the program. These apps are the proction relations and what business to do. This is: blockchain is actually a reconstruction of "proction relationship".
the principle of blockchain can be more widely used in other innovative fields. For example, blockchain is expected to establish a points exchange and transaction system, which can be used for the exchange and transaction of various points, such as telecom telephone fee points, aviation mileage points, hotel accommodation points, etc. In the field of Internet of things, IBM has cooperated with Kouvola innovation in Finland to establish a trusted cargo view of the whole process of logistics in the technology of blockchain and Watson Internet of things
in fact, in the next few years, the Internet of things will become one of the most exciting and largest application fields of blockchain. Blockchain solves the trust problem and financial transactions between massive devices and nodes in the Internet of things. The Internet of things based on blockchain and e-money can enable smart appliances to automatically complete financial transactions such as paying electricity bills, while IBM Watson cognitive technology can automatically recommend a more reasonable level of electricity consumption by learning historical data, which can form a real smart grid from the perspective of the whole society
in May 2016, two Chinese blockchain enterprises announced to join the hyperledger super ledger project led by IBM and Linux foundation. Also in May, Ping An Insurance Group announced to join the international R3 alliance to jointly develop innovative business applications based on distributed shared ledger technology with other financial institutions
now, blockchain is not only as simple as having influence on Internet technology, but also to create a new decentralized next-generation business model, which is the real significance of the blockchain revolution< br />
Specifically, users can share the idle storage space and bandwidth resources of cat disk, and these resources will be output to companies such as content, video, game, blockchain, etc. cat disk company will convert the legal currency and various digital currencies paid by the latter into bitcoin, and users will get the corresponding bitcoin income. This is also the unique mining mode of cat disk
why reward bitcoin
because similar procts on the market reward users with points, diamonds and other rights and interests issued by relevant companies, and most of these rights and interests are of low or no value. In addition, those projects that once seemed to be hot are now almost withered, and the early players may benefit, while the late players will lose all their money
as we know, bitcoin is the anchor currency in the digital currency world. Cat disk directly uses bitcoin to motivate users, and users can pick up the coin to their wallet at any time, and their income can be guaranteed. Moreover, the risk of bitcoin breaking is almost zero, and the user's income will be more lasting and stable
how is the mining income distributed when it comes to distribution, we should first introce the concept of "storage power", which is directly linked to the income of cat disk users. Storage power is an index based on users' shared storage space, bandwidth and online time. The larger the storage space, the faster the bandwidth speed and the longer the online time, the larger the storage power, and vice versa the cat disk gains revenue by sharing storage bandwidth resources, and users can check the revenue through app every day, that is, how much bitcoin they earn. The profit distribution of maopan mining is not random, but through a series of calculations. In short, users' daily income depends on their personal storage capacity, all users' storage capacity and the amount of money issued each day. The calculation formula is as follows: single user's daily income = single user's daily storage capacity / all users' daily storage capacity * Daily currency amount it can be seen that users' daily income is positively correlated with the daily storage capacity index and the daily currency amount, and negatively correlated with all users' daily storage capacity index what is the amount of money issued every day the cat disk integrates the storage and bandwidth resources shared by users, provides storage and bandwidth services to the demander, and converts various digital currencies paid by the other party into bitcoin for distribution to users. How much bitcoin is issued every day depends on the actual business situation, so there is no way to give specific figures for the time being. What we can make clear is that, unlike other mining procts, cat disk does not issue its own currency or restrict the mining of a specific kind or several kinds of currency. Instead, it earns various digital currencies paid by others. These currencies are all market currency. Cat disk converts these currencies into bitcoin and distributes them to users note that all the currencies are negotiable, and the more storage nodes, the more business, the higher the overall mining revenue; For other mining procts, the amount of money that can be mined is limited or issued by the owner. With the passage of time, there will be more and more mining machines, and the mining income will be less and less
blockchain English Name: blockchain, also known as block chain, is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order, It is a distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptography
blockchain is essentially a distributed database, which is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
2. Working principle
the core potential of blockchain lies in the characteristics of distributed database and how to help transparency, security and efficiency
in the past, institutions used a central database to support transaction processes and calculations. The control of the database is in the hands of its owner, who manages the access and update rights to the database, which limits the transparency and scalability, and makes it difficult for outsiders to ensure that the data records are not manipulated
at the same time, e to technical limitations, distributed database is basically impossible to achieve. But with the development of software, communication and encryption technology, it is possible to build a distributed database across organizations. Blockchain has graally emerged
3. Core idea
the basic idea of blockchain is to establish a network-based public ledger (data block), each block contains the information of a network transaction. All the participating users in the network work together to keep accounts and check accounts. All the data are open and transparent, and can be used to verify the effectiveness of the information. In this way, the authenticity and non tamperability of information can be guaranteed at the technical level without the central server as the trust intermediary.
