Battle of Ethereum

Ethereum Community Foundation (ECF) is a non-profit organization. Its original idea was to give community projects a bonus to support incubation of early projects and research. Then in 2018, omisego, Golem, status, maker, Web3 (Polkadot), cosmos and ef (Ethereum Fund) were set up in Tokyo as consultants

ECF 2.0 is the upgrade of ECF, which has two core goals:

First of all, we need to understand what is MLM:

MLM refers to the illegal behavior of organizers and development personnel to obtain wealth by calculating and paying remuneration to the developed personnel based on the number or performance of the personnel directly or indirectly developed, or requiring the developed personnel to pay certain fees to obtain the qualification to join. The essence of MLM is "Ponzi scheme", that is to say, the money of later comers is distributed to the income of former comers

then judge whether the ether coin is a kind of MLM, whether you need membership fee, whether you need to ask your relatives and friends to join

extended materials:

Ethereum is an underlying technology platform on which developers can create distributed applications. With the application, there will be transactions. With a transaction, you need money to complete the transaction. In this way, money has value, and investors' investment has a return. If the transaction volume on the platform is larger and larger, the demand for money will be higher and higher, and the money will be more and more valuable

from the perspective of image, bitcoin creates a kind of digital gold, while Ethereum creates a country, and Ethereum is the credit currency of the country

after bitcoin, there are thousands of digital virtual currencies in the world, many of which are completely deceptive in the guise of "digital currency". Previously, Haikou Municipal Public Security cracked down on a pyramid selling organization called "Eurasian currency", which operated on the internet pyramid selling platform, making more than 40000 investors cheated, involving 4.06 billion yuan. The field of virtual currency has just started, so we need to be cautious

If you want to query the transaction records on the main network, you can use Etherscan. However, if you build your own private chain, how should you query the transaction records

the answer is that you need to listen to the logs on the chain, save them in the database, and then query them in the database. For example:

Web3. Eth. Filter() is used to monitor the log on the chain, and Web3. Eth. Gettransaction() is used to extract the information of the specified transaction. Once the transaction information is obtained, it can be stored in the database for query

On September 4 last year, the central bank issued a document clearly calling for the suspension of token issuance financing. This kind of financing subject raises so-called "virtual currency" from investors, such as bitcoin and ether coin, through the illegal sale and circulation of token, which has been prohibited in China since then. Now half a year has passed, what is the market situation of virtual currency? CCTV financial channel investigation team concted in-depth reports on this

the following is the whole process record of CCTV's "news survey", edited and sorted by the app of liandede:

still hot money speculator

in January this year, Yang Chao, a virtual currency investor, saw the price rise of bitcoin and raised money for investment, but he lost tens of millions in less than two months

virtual currency investor Yang Chao: I bought bitcoin at 100000 yuan per gram at that time. Then I bought about two million and three million bitcoin at this price. After that, the price of bitcoin began to decline. Then every 10% decline, I made up for it, made up for it, and bought it

the frequent occurrence of air currency and the increase of newly issued tokens by more than 30 times

in the document issued by the central bank in September last year, the issuance and financing of tokens was clearly defined as: "in essence, it is an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, suspected of illegal sale of token bills, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal criminal activities." However, because of the technical convenience, there are still a large number of domestic "virtual currency" investors buying and selling tokens, and even the situation is getting worse. Why is it so hot

Mao Hongliang, director of the blockchain Research Office of the national Internet financial security technology expert committee: after September, the online digital currency has been much richer than before. For example, the online currencies of fire coin and OK are more than 100, which is even richer. Before September 2017, there were basically three, bitcoin, lightcoin and Ethereum

is increasing in the number of new currencies. Li Xiaolai, known as "the first person of bitcoin in China", admitted that it is impossible to avoid the bubble in the token market. Behind the enthusiasm of investors and the endless emergence of token issuance and financing is the continuous breaking and even direct disappearance of token in the market

Li Xiaolai, a virtual currency Investor: there must be some coins that have been invested that have disappeared, disappeared and become rotten. There must be, and the proportion is still quite large. I'm sorry not to tell you. Who has nothing to say that you see me so stupid. It is obvious that there are bubbles and bubbles, but no one knows where the bubble is. The most dangerous part of p>

in the bubble is the "air coin" which has no solid project support. p>

on January 15, 2018, hero chain, known as the world's first gaming platform supporting digital cryptocurrency, was "broken" when it went online, and its issue price dropped from 0.6 yuan to 0.05 yuan

in January 2018, the space chain, which focuses on "launching satellites" and building the concept of space operating system, carried out ICO

on January 10, it issued token SPC to private investors, and in just one day, it raised nearly 1 billion yuan.

on March 28, it launched a private placement, On February 1, 2018, the art chain was suspected of false publicity and fell into a coin refund storm. After that, the project side carried out a 1:1 buyback. At present, the website is offline and the founder is missing

the celebrity platform ignores the value and falls into the capital game

there is a logic behind the issuance of a large number of different kinds of tokens, that is, each token is a "virtual currency" based on a certain blockchain technology or application. Theoretically, to be optimistic about this token is to be optimistic about the blockchain technology behind it. However, even some air coins, i.e. tokens without any real items behind them, are still accepted by the market in a round of soaring and plummeting market. What's going on

the reporter found that for ordinary investors, in the current pricing of virtual currency, even the token with real entity project support is difficult to price with reference to the IPO project and the valuation of entity project. In the case of completely opaque information, the price of a virtual currency completely depends on the packaging of the project, or even who is responsible for the project. Li Xiaolai often appears in the publicity of some projects and becomes a platform person, including some air projects

experts say that as long as the capital is willing, even if there is no project behind the air currency, there is a possibility that the price will rise sharply. Because of the lack of effective supervision in various countries, capital can easily circle the funds of small investors through the up and down game. This kind of operation is not difficult for a large number of newly issued tokens or small currencies with small total amount of financing in the current market. The risk of the "virtual currency" market is magnified by non disclosure, non transparency, uncertainty of project value and investors' expectation of sudden wealth

Liu Xiaolei, director of the Department of finance, Guanghua School of management, Peking University, and director of the blockchain laboratory: you have no value, but you can still speculate very high. Why is bosha? Although the value is zero, I'm selling it for ten yuan now, and others are willing to buy it for the next twenty yuan. I'm looking for a bigger fool to sell it to him

Bitcoin is not the only digital currency on the Internet. There are also ripple, stellar, litecoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies. Of course, the most popular is still bitcoin. But many times, some developers, entrepreneurs or enterprises will let us know that we need better digital currency. A programmer named Jed McCaleb, the father of electric donkeys, developed the reborn coin, which should be better than the bitcoin. Later, he launched the star coin, which is better than the reborn coin. What is more gratifying is that he is not fighting alone

now there is a trend that the instry hopes to develop a technology that enables all these online digital currencies to flow to each other, which means that you can transfer money freely in different online digital currency systems in the future. This technology is known as "interleaver protocol (ILP)", initiated by ripote. However, in recent months, that is, after the company released this idea, they also got the support of many famous companies in the instry, including Microsoft and the world wide web. Obviously, Ruibo currency company wants to set the technical standard of digital currency on the Internet. They want to develop a single global network, which can not only unify all digital currencies, but also unify all enterprises and indivials who use these digital currencies

"we want to be on a higher level and extract the differences between various digital currencies," said Stephen Thomas, chief technology officer of ripple. "We are trying to develop a global standard for payment."

with the launch of this agreement, we hope to enable more people to use online digital currency, expand the scope of use of online digital currency, and let us transfer funds more efficiently. This is actually the goal of many existing projects. For example, the original intention of the design of reborn currency and star currency is to allow users to transfer money to these two digital currency accounts in any currency, and to enable these two digital currencies to be converted into other currencies correspondingly. You can send bitcoin, and then the other party gets it. You can also send us dollars, and the other party will get dogecoin. However, for businesses and the developer community, there are restrictions on their use of these ledgers, so there are some problems because you can't transfer money from one payment network to another. Now, however, the interleaver agreement hopes to change that

to some extent, after ten years of efforts, they hope to develop a new network protocol, which is commonly known as "money Internet". If we go back to the early 1990s, we know that the famous Marc Andreessen founded the Netscape web browser. Now, the project hopes to play a similar role. They want to establish a standard way to send funds on the Internet. In fact, the original Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP, which defined the basic standard of the network) contained code for payment. But this code has never been used. In recent years, many companies (such as coinbase, a bitcoin exchange, and stripe, a company that helps enterprises accept various online digital currencies) are at least trying to create a conventional standard for online digital currencies. In the future, we hope to be able to send and receive money online, just like sending short messages or e-mails. However, we still have a long way to go to this paradise, but at least now we are in the right direction

from the historical perspective of currency development, the development process of currency is changing with the development of science and technology and the change of social system this process is also a process in which the form of money keeps changing from & lt; True & quot; Change to & lt; Virtual & quot; Technology content from & lt; Low & quot; Change to & lt; High & quot; The information content changes from & lt; Less & quot; Change to & lt; More & quot; It's a process of change. It is also a process of social system reform and improvement. At present, the development of digital currency is in line with this law. The rapid development of encrypted digital currency has attracted the attention of the whole society< the four major banks test digital currency app, which has a great impact on our lives
