Ethereum client Ethereum node

1.

Ethereum is a new and open blockchain platform, which allows anyone to build and use decentralized applications running through blockchain technology in the platform. Like bitcoin, Ethereum is neither controlled nor owned by anyone - it's an open source project created by many people around the world

Different from bitcoin protocol, Ethereum is very flexible and adaptable. It's very easy to create new applications on the Ethereum platform. Anyone can use the applications on the platform safely

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. It does not give users a series of preset operations (such as bitcoin trading), but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes. In this way, it can be used as a platform for many types of decentralized blockchain applications, including but not limited to cryptocurrency

in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator

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"

this massive parallel operation throughout the Ethernet network is not to make the operation more efficient. In fact, this process makes computing on Ethereum slower and more expensive than on traditional computers. However, each Ethereum node runs Ethereum virtual machine in order to maintain the consistency of the whole blockchain. The consistency of decentralization makes Ethereum have high fault tolerance, zero downtime, and can keep the data stored on the blockchain unchanged and anti censorship

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

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)

Ethereum is an implementation of blockchain. In Ethereum network, many nodes are connected with each other to form Ethereum network:

Ethereum node software provides two core functions: data storage and contract code execution

in each Ethereum node, complete blockchain data is stored. Ethereum not only saves the transaction data on the chain, but also saves the compiled contract code on the chain

At the same time, a virtual machine is provided to execute the contract code

Ethereum virtual machine

Ethereum blockchain not only stores data and code, but also contains a virtual machine (EVM) in each node to execute contract code - it sounds like a computer operating system

in fact, this is the core difference between Ethereum and bitcoin: the existence of virtual machine has brought blockchain into the era of 2.0 and made blockchain a friendly platform for application developers for the first time

the above content comes from the introction course of Ethereum DAPP development

4. Eth mining mainly uses graphics card to mine. Therefore, you need a PC with the following devices:
graphics card, motherboard, power supply, CPU, memory, hard disk (more than 60g SSD is recommended), extension cable, adapter cable, etc
among them, the graphics card determines the speed of mining, and the motherboard and power supply largely determine the stability of mining machine operation.

5. Yes, but it is better to use overseas servers. In addition, the server configuration should be medium or above.

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. Where are you going? Wallet or exchange
transfer eth, as long as there is an address, you can transfer it out
mnemonic words are things that you can help to find when you forget your key, not related to money collection.

9. There is no problem at all, but relatively speaking, we must buy some reliable ones, because we must pay attention to them.
