Blockchain guidance

1. In many cases of blockchain commercial application, we can always see the word baas. Baas is the abbreviation of blockchain as a service, which is translated into "blockchain as a service" in Chinese. So what is blockchain as a service baas? With this question, we will follow Xiao Wang of Renren blockchain technology team to discuss it carefully
according to Xiao Wang, the concept of blockchain as a service (baas) is mainly proposed by Microsoft and IBM. To put it bluntly, it is actually a new type of cloud service, a cloud service combined with blockchain technology. For example, Microsoft's azure cloud computing platform and IBM's bluemix garage cloud platform all provide blockchain as a service baas
blockchain as a service (baas) is a space created by enterprises such as Microsoft and IBM from their own cloud service network to run a blockchain node. Compared with ordinary nodes and exchange nodes, the main purpose of baas nodes is to quickly establish the development environment they need, and provide a series of operation services based on blockchain, such as search query, transaction submission, data analysis, etc. these services can be centralized or decentralized to help developers verify their concepts and models faster. The service of baas node is reflected in: it is more instrumental and easy to create, deploy, run and monitor blockchain.

2. 1. The so-called blockchain technology, also known as the distributed ledger technology, is an Internet database technology, which is characterized by decentralization, openness and transparency, so that everyone can participate in database records
2. Blockchain is an innovative application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies in the Internet era. In recent years, the development and application of blockchain is of great significance to technological innovation and instrial revolution. This experience introces the relevant knowledge of blockchain technology
3. Blockchain is a distributed ledger, which can contain financial and / or non-financial transactions. It can be replicated (distributed) on multiple systems in almost real time through peer-to-peer network. Each participant "owns" the same ledger and gets updated when adding any transaction. Each participant helps to determine the inherent "invariance" of all existing records, Using cryptography and digital signature to prove identity, authenticity and enforce read / write access, there is a mechanism that makes it difficult to change history, and it is easy to detect someone trying to change it.

If bitcoin represents blockchain version 1.0, it proves to the world that digital currency can be realized. Then Ethereum represents blockchain version 2.0, which lets you know more about the play of blockchain, decentralized applications and smart contracts. In 2018, blockchain will enter the stage of 3.0, application and scenario landing will be the core of blockchain, and blockchain based applications in various instries will spring up, which will be the early dividend period of the last stage of blockchain development. The demand for talents driven by the application of blockchain technology has become increasingly large. Blockchain technical talents have become the new professional talents, which are highly competitive, and also have enviable high salaries

whether to form a meaningful large-scale consensus: one of the outstanding advantages of blockchain is that it can effectively form a large-scale consensus by opening account books and notifying the whole network. At present, there is no need to form a network wide consensus for many projects. Some projects are just for crowdfunding and token issuance. The blockchain consensus of projects is meaningless. Does this model have network effect: network effect means that a project will become more and more valuable with more and more users of the project, because the value of the project is not in the users themselves, but in the connection network between users. Bitcoin is a typical example. The more user nodes there are, the more links between nodes will grow exponentially, and the whole ecosystem of bitcoin will be more valuable

of course, in addition to these points, there are many basic principles to judge the project, such as effective incentive mechanism, strong team, project solving pain points, and so on

Since the 1970s, a new energy, combustible ice, has been discovered in the deep sea around the world. If you listen to this term, you will be surprised! How can ice burn? In fact, combustible ice is a kind of crystal material formed by the combination of water and natural gas, which is called "natural gas water compound" academically. According to measurement, 1 cubic meter of solid combustible ice contains about 200 cubic meters of natural gas. Therefore, combustible ice has a strong combustion capacity and is a very important energy resource

The discovery of combustible ice was e to a chance. In the 1930s, in order to transport natural gas, people began to lay huge natural gas pipelines. The results show that the pipeline is often blocked. Cut the pipe open and see that it was blocked by ice like material. How can there be ice in the pipe? After research, it turns out that it is a combination of natural gas and water, with strong combustion ability

a large amount of combustible ice is stored in the frozen soil and seafloor, and the most abundant is in the deep sea. On the sea floor, combustible ice often forms huge deposits with a length of several thousand meters and a thickness ranging from several centimeters to 200-300 meters. In the United States, Canada and other coastal areas, it has been found that there are tens of billions of cubic meters of combustible ice resources, which can be exploited for hundreds of years. Russia, New Zealand, India, Japan and other countries have also found considerable reserves of seabed combustible ice resources. Combustible ice is also found in the East China Sea, South China Sea and Yellow Sea. It is estimated that the reserves of combustible ice in the world are very huge, at least more than twice of the total reserves of coal and oil. It has been hailed as the new energy of the future

There are some difficulties in mining combustible ice because it is deep in the ocean and frozen soil. So far, there is no successful experience in mining seabed combustible ice in the world. At present, there are two mining plans in people's imagination, one is to connect the pneumatic pump pipe with the receiving ship. The air pressure pump pipe extends directly into the sea floor, and the lower end of the pump pipe is a huge bell shaped object, which can cover an area under the water. There is also an automatic mining machine inside the bell, which will dig up the rocks with combustible ice on the seabed together with the combustible ice, smash them into pulp, and then transport the pulp to the receiving ship through the pneumatic pump pipe. On the receiving ship, the natural gas in the combustible ice is separated by heating and pressurizing, while the remaining marine sediments often contain other available substances, which are separated and extracted for the second and third time. Finally, the useless resial soil is poured into the sea

another solution is to directly decompose combustible ice into ice and natural gas on the sea floor, and then transport it directly to the ground gas storage tank, just like the natural gas in the rock stratum, and then transport it to the users who need natural gas from the gas storage tank. Compared with the former scheme, the transportation condition of the latter scheme is relatively simple, which is expected to save more mining cost. But the problem is that the decomposition technology of combustible ice on the seabed is still immature; In addition, this scheme can not make full use of other resources that may exist in the seabed of the mining area
