Blockchain technology challenge and application exploration
blockchain classification:
1 private chain
refers to the blockchain with certain centralized control. Only the general ledger technology of blockchain is used for bookkeeping. It can be a company or an indivial who enjoys the exclusive write permission of the blockchain. This blockchain is not very different from other distributed storage schemes. The participating nodes are only users themselves, and the access and use of data have strict authority management. Due to the existence of centralized control, alliance chain can also be considered as a private chain P>
features: because the user has the final say, the data inside can not be changed, and there is not much protection for the third party. Generally used for internal audit. The vice president of fire coin technology believes: there are indeed a large number of scenarios in the private chain that can meet the needs of the real world. Limited decentralization makes it easier to reach a consensus, which can make the transaction faster and more efficient, and can provide more controlled functions. Decentralization is the core value of blockchain technology. If the private chain can not make full use of the decentralized trust base constructed by the public chain in practice, its development space will be limited
2public chain
public blockchain is the earliest blockchain and the most widely used one at present. It refers to a completely decentralized blockchain like bitcoin blockchain, which is not controlled by any organization. Any indivial or group in the world can send a transaction, and the transaction can be effectively confirmed by the blockchain, and anyone can participate in the consensus process. Participants in the consensus process maintain database security through cryptography and built-in economic incentives
features: completely open, uncontrolled, rely on encryption technology to ensure security
3 alliance chain
multiple preselected nodes are designated as bookkeepers within a certain group. The generation of each block is jointly determined by all preselected nodes. Other access nodes can participate in the transaction, but not the bookkeeping process (in essence, it's still managed bookkeeping, but it's just distributed bookkeeping. How many preselected nodes are there, How to decide the bookkeeper of each block becomes the main risk point of the blockchain). Anyone else can make limited query through the open API of the blockchain
the nodes participating in the blockchain are selected in advance, and the nodes are likely to have good network connections. Other consensus algorithms without workload proof can be used on such a blockchain. For example, a blockchain has been established among 100 financial institutions, and more than 67 institutions must agree to reach a consensus
Prospect:
the development of blockchain technology has also brought changes in the operation concepts of various instries. New technologies and new concepts have promoted the new development of various instries. This driving force has a huge impact on society and the promotion of economic activities. Many new instrial phenomena will occur one after another, and the public will wait and see, It is expected that this new technology will be used by all instries and benefit all instries better
A: application fields of blockchain technology
I. financial field
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics
through the blockchain, we can rece the logistics cost, trace the proction and transportation process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, in the field of digital right, through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios
A: the main application fields of blockchain technology are finance, Internet of things and logistics, public service, digital right, insurance and public welfare
First, in the field of finance,
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics. Through blockchain, we can rece logistics costs, trace the proction and delivery process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, in the field of digital right, through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision
at present, China's blockchain instry mainly focuses on computing infrastructure, radiates digital currency, and derives to the penetration process of blockchain application. Infrastructure includes chip miner, mine pool and cloud computing power. Digital currency, wallet and exchange constitute the monetary system. Asset authentication, financial services and charity form a rich application ecology. From the development trend, the mining machine has experienced CPU, GPU, FPGA, until now through ASIC chips to customize mining, we can see from the mining machine calculation force curve that the mining machine calculation force has been in a soaring trend.
under the ideal situation of big bird mount + no one grabs the mines with you + opposing camp doesn't kill you + familiar with the mines, more than 1000g per hour
under normal circumstances, e to various interference factors, 500g per hour is good, minus 200g per hour, the actual income is 300g per hour, If you are engaged in manual mining, you should also consider the fatigue factor. The more mining, the lower the efficiency. It is not recommended to use this lowest level method of earning money. Just like the wage earners in big cities, they can barely earn a living (point card money), but they have no future
Blockchain:
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 rights and interests between different nodes in the blockchain system.
blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, distrust, scalability, anonymity, security and reliability:
the concept of blockchain was first put forward in the paper of Nakamoto Tsung in 2008. Blockchain can be understood as a public accounting mechanism (technical solution), which is not a specific proct. Its basic idea is: through the establishment of a group of public accounts on the Internet, all users in the network jointly keep accounts and check accounts on the account book, to ensure the authenticity and non tampering of information. And the reason why it's called & 8218; Block No. 8219; Chain, as the name suggests, is because the structure of data stored in the blockchain is composed of one by one on the network; Storage block; Each block contains all the information exchange data in the network within a certain period of time. Over time, the chain will grow
characteristics of blockchain
blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, distrust, scalability, anonymity, security and reliability:
Decentralization: because the blockchain relies on each node to achieve the maintenance of the system and ensure the authenticity of information transmission, it is based on distributed storage data without centralized management by a certain center, Therefore, the attack and tampering of a node will not affect the healthy operation of the whole network
de trusting: the establishment of a connection between any two nodes does not need to trust each other's identity, and the data exchange between the two sides does not need the basis of mutual trust. Because all nodes in the network can play the role of ﹥ 8218; The supervisor; So don't worry about fraud
Extensibility: blockchain is a kind of underlying open source technology, on which various kinds of expansion, decentralized and distrusted applications can be realized
anonymization: both sides of data exchange can be anonymous, and nodes in the network can exchange data without knowing each other's identity and personal information
safe and reliable: because the activities between any nodes are supervised by the whole network, and the database uses distributed storage, for hackers, first, they can't disguise and cheat, second, they can't control the network by attacking a node
supply chain management
refers to the process of optimizing the operation of the supply chain from purchasing to meeting the final customers with the least cost. MBA, EMBA and other management ecation include the enterprise supply chain management
supply chain management is to coordinate the internal and external resources of enterprises to meet the needs of consumers. When we regard the enterprises in each link of the supply chain as a virtual enterprise alliance, and any enterprise as a department of the virtual enterprise alliance, the internal management of the alliance is supply chain management. However, the composition of the alliance is dynamic and changes at any time according to the needs of the market
effective supply chain management can help to achieve four goals: shorten cash flow time; Rece the risk faced by enterprises; Achieve profit growth
long; Provide predictable revenue
seven principles of Supply Chain Management: dividing customer groups according to the service characteristics required by customers; According to the customer demand and the profit situation of the enterprise, the logistics network of the enterprise is designed; Listen to market demand information and design procts closer to customers; Time delay; Strategic determination of
source of goods and procurement and establishment of win-win cooperation strategy with suppliers; Establish information system in the whole supply chain; Establish the performance evaluation criteria of the whole supply chain
although most people ignore the existence of agriculture, it does provide basic needs for our society. For young people, exploring the agricultural world is not attractive, mainly because of the lack of technical content in agricultural operation process. In addition, agriculture is a relatively complex business field, which needs more transparency and more perfect instry standards
and blockchain technology can change the status quo. Consumers all over the world prefer "clean" food, but procers have no way to verify the reliability of procts. Replacing the current supply chain management system with distributed accounting books can bring higher transparency and encourage consumers to buy food and procts after careful consideration
from a technical point of view, the use of blockchain in agriculture can realize intelligent supply chain management. But the whole agricultural management process needs a technical inspection. At present, agricultural technology solutions are either implemented by specific software or by service providers, but these two solutions are expensive and sometimes can not achieve the desired effect
recently, Emma, CEO of agridigital ( agriculture based on blockchain and smart contract supply chain management platform ); Emma Weston explained in detail how blockchain technology can solve the defects in the field of agriculture. The immutability of transactions and information in distributed account books is the key to solve all problems. Recording proct information on the blockchain is the most correct choice, and farmers, retailers and consumers can benefit from it
consumers are increasingly concerned about whether food is "clean" and organic, but procers and processors are usually unable to track and verify a series of accurate data related to procts from farm to table. Blockchain can help a lot. At present, there is no simple, accurate and effective way to track slave workers, raw material pollution and the origin of goods. At the same time, consumers are more willing to pay for the organic food with the above details. So far, we know that the root of the problem lies in certification and regulation, which are expensive, difficult to implement and confusing to consumers
the biggest problems faced by the agricultural sector are random pricing and high transaction fees. Once the supplier can not give a reasonable price, consumers are not willing to accept the final result. The cost of supply chain management greatly reces the interests of farmers, but also adds a lot of confusion to agricultural development
the development trend of block chain technology in the future agricultural field is still a mystery. However, there are many specific use cases, including land registration, big data monitoring, and even the application of smart contract. In the next ten years, there will be numerous use cases of blockchain in the field of agriculture, and the development prospect is very good
The development of blockchain has been booming. What are the application areas of blockchain
at present, the most extensive and successful application of blockchain technology is digital currency represented by bitcoin. In recent years, digital currency has developed rapidly. Due to the characteristics of decentralized credit and frequent transactions, it has high transaction value and can maintain a relatively stable price by developing hedging financial derivatives as quasi super sovereign currency
