Ethereum and its founder
bitcoin is a digital currency designed by Nakamoto in 2009. The identity of its founder "Nakamoto" has always been a mystery. Rumors about "father of bitcoin" involve from the US National Security Agency to financial experts, and also give bitcoin a mysterious aura. Matcha exchange can find out more about Ethereum bitcoin
what is Ethereum:
Ethereum is an innovation based on the application of technologies and concepts in bitcoin to computers. Ethereum itself imitates a lot of bitcoin technology to maintain the computer platform. blockchain technology is one of them
Ethereum platform can safely run any program users want
advantages of Ethereum over other competitive currencies before Ethereum appeared, some digital currencies imitated bitcoin. However, these projects have their own shortcomings, they can only support one or several specific applications at the same time< However, the reason why Ethereum can surpass the limitations of these projects in the past is because of the core idea of Ethereum
what Ethereum wants to implement is a blockchain protocol with built-in programming language. Since it supports programming language, in theory, any blockchain application can be defined with this language, and then run on Ethereum's blockchain protocol as an application
The design of Ethereum is very flexible and adaptable
Ethereum target sets the advantages of blockchain technology, in order to add the advantages of blockchain, such as decentralization, openness and security, to almost all computing fields
blockchain applications of Ethereum
Ethereum has many blockchain applications, such as digital applications of gold and stocks, financial derivatives applications, DNS and digital authentication, etc
Ethereum has achieved more than 100 blockchain applications by many start-ups
Ethereum has also been closely watched by some financial institutions, banking consortia (such as R3), as well as large companies like Samsung, Deloitte, RWE and IBM. As a result, a number of blockchain applications such as simplified and automated financial transactions, merchant loyalty index tracking, and gift cards designed to achieve decentralization of electronic transactions have emerged
the relationship between Ethereum and blockchain:
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain
Ethereum does not give users a series of preset operations (such as bitcoin transaction), but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes
in this way, Ethereum can be used as a platform for various types of decentralized blockchain applications, including but not limited to cryptocurrency
like other blockchains, Ethereum also has a peer-to-peer network protocol. Ethereum blockchain database is maintained and updated by many nodes connected to the network. Each network node runs the Ethereum simulator and executes the same instructions. Therefore, people sometimes call Ethereum "world computer"
The idea of Ethereum was born in 2013. Vitalik buterin ˙ When he was a programmer in the bitcoin community, he suggested to the core developers of bitcoin to develop a language for application developers to facilitate the development of various applications. Bitcoin core developers disagree. So God V decided to develop a new platform for this purpose
V God wrote the white paper of etheric currency in 2013, in which he explained the goal of building a decentralized program. In 2014, we got development funds through crowdfunding, so we developed the Ethernet system< (better digital currency trading platform "currency exchange")
since its birth, it has carried out four hard bifurcations so far
for the first time, in order to adjust the difficulty
released a stable version of "homeland" for the second time
for the fourth time, in order to prevent DDoS and rece weight
there is only the third hard fork, because of the hacker attack, and forced to fork. This is the Dao event
On July 30, 2015, v-god and Ethereum Foundation created the first smart contract platform and designed the Dao Ethereum contracton April 30, 2016, the Dao smart contract was officially deployed, and the world's largest crowdfunding was completed, reaching an amazing $150 million As an aside, the biggest crowdfunding event in time is EOS crowdfunding, which has reached an even more amazing $5 billion!)
on June 17, 2016, the Dao was attacked by hackers, who stole about 50 million US dollars of Ethernet currency, and the price also plummeted from US $20 to US $15, causing great harm to Ethereum. In order to recover the loss of investors, the community finally decided to hard fork
therefore, on July 20, 2016, at the block height of 1920000, the hard branching was successful, and the new chain is called Ethereum eth, while the original chain is now Ethereum classic etc
skycoin also includes the cancellation of mining incentives, the development of energy-saving customized hardware, the realization of transaction speed comparable to visa's similar projects, and the creation of a safer and more efficient Internet
the above achievements are realized thanks to the five robust component cores of skycoin ecosystem:
skycoin: a fast and secure currency supported by bandwidth
skywire: a truly decentralized mesh network
skyminer: hardware facilities to realize the real decentralized mesh network of skywire
fiber: an open decentralized blockchain network
skysuite: distributed application suite< The founder of skycoin is one of the earliest developers of bitcoin. Skycoin was founded eight years ago to create a new decentralized network. He is currently a consultant for several cryptocurrency projects. Synth has a background in mathematics, distributed systems and symbolic logic< br />✨ Houwu Chen, founder of
houwu is one of the developers of Ethereum and the author of the oblelisk white paper on the decentralized consensus protocol of skycoin distributed network and cryptocurrency. He studied for a doctorate in Tsinghua University.
eMule is better than BT's decentralization and more suitable for sharing resources.
Recently, a & lt; The 27 year old founder of ether coin made a profit of $1.1 billion; The news of, caused the hot discussion of broad netizens, make boiling on the net. We know that with the development of society, digital currency has emerged in all currencies. The largest digital currency is bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen from less than one cent at the beginning to more than 300000 yuan now, with a huge increase. After bitcoin, it is the second largest digital currency, ether coin, which was launched in 2015 and is now up a lot. So who is the founder? What does he do
The founder of vitalik buterin is a 27 year old programmer who created ethercoin in 2013 and launched ethercoin in 2015. He is a Russian Canadian{ RRRRR}the above are my views on this issue.
