Is the private key of digital currency in English

1. Here's a brief introction to several mainstream digital currencies to give you a rough idea. After that, I will talk about the specific currency from time to time

bitcoin is the originator of digital currency and the most valuable virtual currency. Because blackmail virus only takes bitcoin, it has entered the public view. The soaring price of bitcoin in 2017 has attracted a large number of investors to enter the digital money market. Because the number is small, it is only 21 million, which has a strong deflationary attribute
of course, I am extremely optimistic about the future of bitcoin. Of course, many people are not optimistic about digital currency. Here, it is most pertinent to quote Krugman's view:
"at least for now, buying bitcoin is still a good investment. But that doesn't mean the experiment was successful. The original intention of establishing a monetary system is not to make those who hold money rich, but to make transactions convenient and benefit the whole economy. And none of these bitcoins came to us. "
reborn currency
a protocol currency issued by reborn, which is the base currency of reborn network. It can circulate in the whole reborn network, with a total amount of 100 billion, and graally decreases with the increase of transactions. Reborn currency is the only common currency in ripple system, which is different from other currencies in ripple system, Ripple labs (formerly known as opencoin) is the operating company of ripple coin
unlike bitcoin, reborn is a kind of transaction protocol, which is called smart contract in technical terms. It supports people to pay in any currency, and does not need a central data exchange center, so the transaction confirmation time of ripple is only 35 seconds, while that of bitcoin is 10-40 minutes

Ethereum
Ethereum is the name of currency used in Ethereum, which is used for payment calculation in Ethereum virtual machine. Ethereum is a blockchain that can be used to deploy decentralized applications. It is an open source computer platform and blockchain platform. At the end of 2013, it was founded by vitalik buterin, a Russian programmer
there is a key difference between the blockchain technologies used by Ethereum and bitcoin. Ethereum's data processing speed is faster than that of bitcoin, because once agreed, Ethereum's system will automatically apply to the terms and conditions in the contract
unlike bitcoin, the value of Ethereum depends on whether the applications on the platform of Ethereum are prosperous or not, just like the price of oil will rise with more machines using oil

bitcoin cash
bitcoin cash is a branch of bitcoin. In order to solve the problem of long transaction time of bitcoin, at 20:20 on August 1, 2017, a small number of mining machines began to use 8m block to start mining, and the transaction confirmation speed was thousands of times faster than that of bitcoin using 1m block
strictly speaking, however, there are different opinions on whether this is a new branch of bitcoin or another kind of "counterfeit currency". But now the offer of bitcoin cash is nearly 20000 yuan, so it's not too much to use it as a kind of "Shanzhai coin" to divide bitcoin traffic

IDA coin, ADA in English, is a proct of Cardano project. The total amount of Aida is 4.5 billion yuan, and 3 billion yuan will participate in the subscription. Among them, 2.5 billion ADA will be used for platform subscription, 500 million for the financial support of the development company's operating company, and 1.5 billion ADA coins will continue to be issued in the form of block awards
Cardano is a project started in 2015 to change the way cryptocurrency is designed and developed. This project is aimed at technical reformers, technical improvements to bitcoin and existing platforms. If bitcoin, Ethereum and other projects have many other shortcomings, Cardano can solve them<

lightcoin
a currency based on bitcoin protocol, but it does not require very high computing power, and it can also be mined by ordinary computer. Lightcoin's algorithm comes from the algorithm designed by Dr Colin Percival for tarsnap secure online backup service (backup for Linux and other open source operating systems)
for a long time, there has been a voice that "lightcoin will replace bitcoin", which is impossible. In the future, there will probably be a variety of cryptography currencies in the world, but any kind of counterfeit currency can not replace the mainstream position of bitcoin, no matter how excellent its algorithm is compared with bitcoin<

stellar currency
stellar currency, a digital currency project initiated by Jed McCaleb, the former founder of ripple, is used to build a decentralized gateway between digital currency and legal tender. It will be provided to users in the form of free distribution, and its supply online is 100 billion, of which 95% of the amount of star coin is used for free distribution
star is a diversified team. The board members include Keith rabois, former COO of square, Patrick collison, CEO of stripe, Jackson Palmer, co-founder of dogcoin, and naval Ravikant, co-founder of angellist, who will be the consultant of the project< New economy movement, or NEM, was founded on January 19, 2014. The founder is a mysterious person in bitcointalk.org forum called utopianfuture. The original intention of utopian future was to build a second-generation digital currency NXT. He then realized that NXT's distribution model was unreasonable, so he devoted himself to NEM with egalitarian distribution
as a kind of cryptocurrency, new coin does not need much computing resources to maintain the operation of nodes. The proof of importance (POI) engine of NEM reces the threshold of computing resources to participate in non-traditional blockchain<

dascoin
formerly known as black coin, is a kind of counterfeit currency of bitcoin, which focuses on anonymous function. There are many innovations, such as master node network, fast payment, mixed currency anonymous technology, proposals can vote, and developers have fixed budget support. The core consists of a unique incentive P2P network. Miners are rewarded for maintaining blockchain security; The main node holders are rewarded for verifying transactions, storing data and providing a variety of services
the feature of anonymity meets the needs of some investors for absolute privacy. Although bitcoin is also widely used in money laundering and other illegal transactions e to its anonymity, it is only "pseudo anonymity", and the transaction of bitcoin can still be traced back to the traders themselves.

The digital currency wallet is the hardware wallet, which means that the private key of digital assets is stored in a single chip, isolated from the Internet, plug and play. Hardware wallet can't guarantee 100% security. For example, if a geek gets your hardware wallet and doesn't know your private key, it may be cracked by violence. It's just one of the safest storage methods compared to other storage methods

many block chain entrepreneurs at home and abroad are optimistic about the development of this field, so they begin to build more hardware wallets. In the case of the exchange being stolen a lot of money and the software wallet being stolen from time to time, many investors regard the hardware wallet as the last moat

extended information:

whether the hardware wallet is safe

the hardware wallet can not guarantee 100% security. For example, if a geek obtains your hardware wallet, it may be cracked violently even if it doesn't know your hardware wallet immediately. It's just one of the safest storage methods compared to other storage methods

of course, there are exceptions, such as you have unlimited brain power and never forget. It's better to save it anywhere than in your own mind

Many small white just admission, was the private key, public key, address, and other relations confused. Some of them even lost their private key. They had money on the address, but they just couldn't get it out. Today, Xiao will try to figure out the relationship between the private key, the public key and the address

The relationship among < H2 > private key, public key and address is as follows:

the private key is converted into (generated) public key, and then converted into address. If there is bitcoin or integrity coin on an address, the private key converted into the address can be used to spend the above integrity coin. The generation of public key and address depends on private key, so private key is the most important

mobile wallet is the same, but the file management method of mobile phone is not as convenient as computer. Therefore, the general mobile wallet will provide a function called or similar to "export private key". Through this function, the private key can be exported in various forms

for example, bitcoin mobile wallet can be exported as a two-dimensional code, which can be printed or scanned on paper. When replacing a mobile phone, install a bitcoin wallet and scan the QR code to migrate bitcoin. Bitcoin mobile wallet and trustcoin mobile wallet can be exported as a clear text string and printed on paper - this is paper wallet

paper wallet allows users to spend your bitcoin or trustcoin at any terminal with bitcoin or trustcoin wallet

because the wallet is lost or damaged, the private key will be lost, and the transfer right of the digital currency will be lost completely. To prevent such tragedies, you should always back up the data in your wallet. In addition to the address, all the private keys are saved ring the backup

< H2 > summary

1. the private key should be protected to prevent loss and forgetting. When the mobile phone clears the information, it is best to it by hand, but do not disclose it

2. you should prevent your wallet from being lost or damaged, resulting in the loss of your private key and the loss of the transfer right of digital currency. Otherwise, you will not be able to withdraw more money, which is not useless
