1. Ethereum
blockchain has exposed three major problems, and its founder vitalik buterin has been unable to interpret them for a long time. The first is the low performance and TPS of Ethereum blockchain as a whole; The second is that resources are not isolated. The event of cryptokitties virtual cat once occupied 20% of the traffic of the whole Ethereum, which directly caused Ethereum network users unable to carry out timely transactions, which is the biggest pain point of resources not isolated; The third problem lies in the embodiment of Ethereum's governance structure. As a decentralized distributed ledger, the founder team of Ethereum has dominated its network development in the past. The over centralized governance mode has led to the bifurcation of eth, etc and ETF in Ethereum, and the Ethereum community is now in a state of fragmented governance. In the view of Ma Haobo, founder and CEO of "aelf", all kinds of disadvantages of Ethereum are unacceptable. Therefore, the positioning of "aelf" is born for the next generation of decentralized underlying computing platform of Ethereum, which focuses on solving the problems of insufficient performance, non isolation of resources and governance structure of Ethereum.
2. At the top of Ethereum is DAPP. It exchanges with the smart contract layer through Web3. JS. All smart contracts run on EVM (Ethereum virtual machine) and use RPC calls. Below EVM and RPC are the four core contents of Ethereum, including: blockchain, consensus algorithm,
mining and network layer. Except DAPP, all other parts are in the Ethereum client. The most popular Ethereum client is geth (go Ethereum)
3. Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (also known as "Ethereum")
The token on the
blockchain is called ether, and the code is eth. It can be traded in many foreign exchange markets of cryptocurrency, and it is also the medium used to pay transaction fees and computing services on Ethereum
the concept of Ethereum was first proposed by vitalik buterin, a programmer, from 2013 to 2014, inspired by bitcoin, with the general meaning of "next generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform", and began to develop through ICO crowdfunding in 2014. As of February 2018, Ethernet is the second highest cryptocurrency in market value, second only to bitcoin
extended data:
Ethereum platform has no characteristics and value. Like programming languages, it's up to entrepreneurs and developers to decide what to use. However, it is clear that some application types benefit more from the functions of Ethereum than others. Ethereum is especially suitable for those applications that automatically interact directly between points or promote group coordination activities across networks
for example, coordinate the application of point-to-point market, or the automation of complex financial contracts. Bitcoin enables indivials to exchange money without the help of financial institutions, banks or governments. The impact of Ethereum may be more profound
in theory, any complex financial activities or transactions can be automatically and reliably carried out on Ethereum with coding. In addition to financial applications, any application scenario with high requirements for trust, security and persistence, such as asset registration, voting, management and Internet of things, will be affected by Ethereum platform on a large scale
4. Note that Ethereum is 2.0 now. As of 13:57 on the 4th, the current deposit contract address of Ethereum 2.0 has received 1000098eth, and 31252 addresses have completed the mortgage of 32eth. With the increasing number of mortgage, the annual yield of mortgage will graally decrease. After the mortgage amount reaches 1 million eth, the current annualized yield is about 15.7%. Zhongyuan, a well-known exchange, has taken the lead in opening the mining channel of eth2.0 verification node, and then launched qeth. Users can invest their own eth in verification node mining and exchange qeth to obtain liquidity, and then participate in mining. Compared with the disadvantages of eth2.0, qeth has too many things: the liquidity is guaranteed, the user does not have to bear the technical cost, the threshold of participation does not need 32 eth as low as 0.1eth, the nodes are maintained by the platform, and the income is distributed according to eth2.0.
5. The network will be upgraded to Constantinople & Petersburg at block height of 7280000. L, Z, b show that it will be upgraded on March 1, 2019 Beijing time. I don't know if the upgrade is successful
6. Generally speaking, undefined index is the exact writing problem in the process of writing. Notice generally prompts for errors that are not directly related to the execution of code, but don't forget that notice sometimes returns some rendant error information
7. How many account addresses can an Ethereum node have at most
A: generally, there is only one account address, otherwise there will be an error! Blockchain itself is unique. If there are multiple account addresses on one node, it violates the fundamental principle of blockchain!
8. Generally speaking, the steps of deploying smart contract are as follows:
- start an Ethereum node (such as geth or testrpc)
- use Solc to compile smart contracts=& gt; Get the binary code
- deploy the compiled contract to the network This step will consume Ethernet currency, and you need to use the default address or specified address of your node to sign the contract.)=& gt; Get the blockchain address and ABI of the contract (JSON representation of the contract interface, including variables, events and callable methods) The author confused ABI with contract interface here. ABI is the binary representation of the contract interface.)
- use the JavaScript API provided by web3.js to call the contract Depending on the type of call, it may consume Ethernet currency.)
9. There is no problem at all, but relatively speaking, we must buy some reliable ones, because we must pay attention to them.
