There's something wrong with Ethereum

a brief history of etheric Classics (etc)

etheric classics began with an unfortunate event

in May 2016, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) held a token sale with the goal of establishing a blockchain based venture capital to fund future decentralized applications (dapps) in the Ethereum ecosystem

basically, Dao is a complex smart contract that operates in a decentralized way - computer code that automatically performs tasks between multiple parties when conditions are met

despite its ambitious goals and successful token sales, Dao's code has a major vulnerability that allows attackers to steal eth from decentralized organizations

the attacker took advantage of this vulnerability in June 2016, triggering the infamous Dao hacking event, and maliciously stole eth worth about US $50 million

there is no doubt that Dao hacking has shocked Ethereum community and made eth price drop from $20 to $13

after the Dao hacking, the Ethereum community has to choose from three options

< UL >
  • do nothing and try to bear the consequences of the attack

  • start soft bifurcation to recover funds

  • deploy a hard fork to recover the lost eth

  • both soft and hard bifurcations are significant network upgrades. However, soft fork allows users who are not upgraded to communicate with upgraded users, while hard fork is not backward compatible with previous versions

    as developers realize that deploying soft forks will expose the network to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, Ethereum community decides to initiate hard forks to recover the funds lost in Dao hacking attacks

    although this scheme is supported by most people, a small number of people in Ethereum community oppose it. They think that "code is the law" and blockchain network should be unchangeable

    the failure of both sides to reach an agreement on the solution eventually led to the fragmentation of Ethereum blockchain

    those who tried to recover the lost eth chose the hard fork and opened the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain as we know it today, while another group stayed on the original Ethereum classic (etc) chain

    what problems does ethereal classic solve

    Ethernet classic (etc) is a blockchain platform that allows developers to deploy smart contracts and dapps

    although this function is the same as Ethereum (ETH), etc blockchain has two main differences

    first of all, Ethereum classic community opposes tampering with distributed ledger and supports the view that "blockchain network cannot and should not be modified"

    secondly, although there is no rigid upper limit on the total supply of eth, it is allowed to create 230 million etc at most by adopting the monetary policy of constant supply

    as a bonus item, ethereal classic launched Atlantis hard bifurcation last year to increase the interaction with Ethereum and improve the privacy protection of transactions through ZK snarks

    the trading platforms recommended by ethereal classic etc are: Fire coin, okex, AAX, etc

    2.

    There is an essential difference between Ethereum and bitcoin. What is the difference? Bitcoin defines a set of currency system, while Ethereum focuses on building a main chain (which can be understood as a road) to allow a large number of blockchain applications to run on this road

    from this point of view, Ethereum's application scenarios are more extensive, which is why we say that Ethereum marks a simple monetary system in the era of blockchain

    1.0, and a transformation to other instries and application scenarios in the era of blockchain 2.0

    however, there is no perfect thing in the world. Although Ethereum has expanded the application scope of blockchain in all walks of life and improved the speed of transaction processing, it also has some disputes and doubts

    first, the solution to the lack of scalability of Ethereum: slicing technology and lightning network

    the bottom design of Ethereum, the biggest problem is that Ethereum has only one chain and no side chain, which means that all programs have to run on this chain equally, consuming resources and causing system congestion. Just like last year's very popular Ethereum game "encryption cat", when this game was very popular, it once caused Ethereum network paralysis

    to improve the processing capacity, Ethereum proposes two ways: shard and lightning network. Let's introce these two technologies respectively

    (1) fragmentation technology

    vitalik buterin, founder of Ethereum, believes that the reason why mainstream blockchain networks such as bitcoin process transactions very slowly is that every miner has to process every transaction in the whole network, which is actually very inefficient. The idea of fragmentation technology is: a transaction does not need to be processed by all nodes in the whole network, as long as some nodes (miners) in the network are allowed to process it. Therefore, Ethereum network is divided into many pieces. At the same time, each piece can handle different transactions. In this way, the network performance will be greatly improved

    however, the slicing technology is also controversial. As we all know, the important idea of blockchain technology is decentralization. Only when the whole network witnesses (processes) the same transaction can it have the highest authority. The Ethereum slicing technology is similar to the group witness, not all nodes witness together. In this way, it will lose the absolute "decentralization" attribute, and can only achieve the purpose of high performance by sacrificing certain characteristics of decentralization

    (2) lightning network

    lightning network uses the way of transaction under the chain. What does that mean? It means: when the participants of lightning network transfer money to each other, they do not need to confirm the transaction through the main chain of Ethereum, but create a payment channel between the participants and complete it under the chain

    however, lightning network is not separated from the main chain. Before establishing a payment channel, you need to use the assets on the main chain as collateral to generate a balance proof, which indicates that you can transfer the corresponding balance. In the case that both parties of the transaction hold the balance certificate, both parties can make unlimited number of transfers under the chain through the payment channel

    only when the off chain transaction is completed and the assets need to be transferred back to the chain, the balance change information of the main chain account will be registered on the Ethereum main chain, and no matter how many transactions occur ring this period, there will be no record on the main chain

    another real benefit of lightning network is that it can save the cost of miners for you. At present, when we trade on the main chain of Ethereum, we need to consume gas and pay for miners. Once we move the transaction to the lower chain, we can save this part of the cost

    Of course, lightning network is not perfect. When using the lightning network, the assets on the main chain should be used as collateral; And this part of assets as collateral can not be used before the user completes the transaction under the chain. This also determines that lightning trading is only suitable for small transactions

    the above is the problem of insufficient scalability of Ethereum, as well as the two main solutions: fragmentation technology and lightning network

    Second, there are loopholes in Ethereum's smart contract and the infamous Dao event

    Ethereum's smart contract is very powerful, but there are loopholes in any code. The biggest controversy of Ethereum's smart contract lies in the so-called loopholes, that is, security issues. According to relevant research, 34200 (about 3%) of the nearly 1 million smart contracts based on Ethereum contain security vulnerabilities, which will allow hackers to steal eth, freeze assets or delete contracts, such as the infamous Dao incident

    (1) what does Dao mean

    before introcing the Dao event, let's first introce what Dao is. Dao is the abbreviation of decentralized

    autonomous organization, which can be understood as decentralized autonomous organization. From the perspective of Ethereum, Dao is a kind of contract or a combination of contracts on the blockchain, which is used to replace the government's review and complex intermediate proceres, so as to achieve an efficient and decentralized trust system. Therefore, Dao is not a specific organization, that is to say, there can be many Dao, all kinds of Dao

    (2) the infamous Dao event

    however, when we talk about Dao now, we basically refer to the Dao event, that is, the infamous hacker attack event we just mentioned. As we know, the English word "the" refers to "the Dao event". The Dao event

    refers to "the Dao event", because we just said that Dao is not a specific organization, there can be many Dao, all kinds of Dao

    in 2016, slock.it, a German company focusing on "smart locks", launched the Dao project on Ethereum in order to realize decentralized physical exchange (such as apartments and ships). Since April 30, 2016, the financing window has been open for 28 days

    unexpectedly, this Dao project is very popular. It raised more than US $100 million in just half a month. By the end of the whole financing period, it raised a total of US $150 million. Therefore, it has become the largest crowdfunding project in history. However, it didn't last long. In June, hackers took advantage of the loopholes in the smart contract to successfully transfer more than 3.6 million Ethernet coins and put them into a Dao sub organization, which has the same structure as the Dao. At that time, the price of Ethernet currency fell directly from more than $20 to less than $13

    this event shows that there are loopholes in smart contracts, and once the loopholes are exploited by hackers, the consequences will be very serious. This is why many people criticize Ethereum and say that its smart contract is not smart

    to solve this problem, many foreign companies begin to provide code audit services in order to solve the vulnerability problem of smart contract. From a technical point of view, some teams are currently testing smart contracts. Most of these teams are led by professors from Harvard, Stanford and Yale, and some of them have obtained investment from leading institutions

    in addition to the problems of insufficient expansibility and loopholes in smart contracts, the controversy over Ethereum lies in the POS consensus mechanism it pursues, that is, the proof of equity mechanism. Under the proof of equity mechanism, if anyone holds more money and holds it for a longer time, he will get more "rights" (interests) and have the opportunity to get bookkeeping power, Bookkeeping can also be rewarded. In this way, it is easy to create the oligarchic advantage of "the stronger the stronger"

    Another problem is the chaos of ICO. ICO is a common way to raise funds for blockchain projects, which we can understand as pre-sale. The outbreak of ICO projects on Ethereum has caused illegal activities such as fund allocation and money fraud under the banner of ICO, which has caused security risks to social and financial stability

    3. Minerhub's wondermole system is a "diskless" mining system based on Linux kernel, which is deeply customized for miners' friends

    solve the problem in an all-round way

    1. Miracle Moore's Linux kernel has been deeply optimized for more than 200 times to avoid the problem that some hardware failures will directly lead to system crash
    2. In view of the situation that many mining software in the market can't connect to the mining pool after restart, miracle Moore perfectly solves the problem by using the function of resetting the image after each restart of the mining machine
    3. After testing, the average computing power error and delay share of miracle Moore system in each mine pool are not more than 1.5%, which significantly improves the mining revenue of users
    4. After numerous experiments, miracle Moore development team has obtained the optimized VBIOS overclocking setting of graphics card. Compared with the traditional overclocking method, it can further improve the computing power of graphics card by 5% and rece the power consumption by 15%!
    4. Unable to connect to mine pool, try again in 20 seconds. 1. No network. 2. Another wave of attacks on the spark pool.
    5. In fact, the rise and fall of digital currency is a normal situation. The key is to see whether you are optimistic about its long-term value. Relatively speaking, if the long-term value is worth investing in, then the short-term decline can be ignored. At the same time, if you don't know much about digital currency users, it is recommended to choose a reliable and good platform for investment. The investment period needs more than six years, Word of mouth should always be good, you can take a look at AEX, fire coin these two, but also more reliable, you can also understand their own network first
    6. At present, their common point is blockchain + government affairs, but the application fields involve different scenarios. Personally, I don't think it's comparable. For the moment
    according to the report, Zhejiang blockchain government platform is mainly engaged in blockchain bills, especially medical bills. The public platform of Changsha's SMIC blockchain mainly focuses on government information disclosure, government affairs handling, intellectual property protection, judicial expertise, finance and so on, but it has not involved the medical bills yet.
    7. I've just seen Percy Jackson and the robber of divine fire. It's a bit like Harry Potter, but I think it's very good-looking. It's a story with Greek mythology
    Percy Jackson is an ordinary 12-year-old boy who was diagnosed with dyslexia and hyperactivity disorder. During a field trip organized by the school, he was interviewed by his algebra teacher; Specific function & quot; Scared me. After that, Percy Jackson found that he was not an ordinary person, but a mythical figure and a descendant of human beings< After discovering the mystery of his life, Percy Jackson was sent to a special school. The children studying in this school are the offspring of many mythical characters. When Percy Jackson came to school, Poseidon immediately declared Jackson his own child. In this school, Percy Jackson met two good friends. One is the beautiful Annabeth chase, the descendant of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill; The other is Grover Underwood, a descendant of orcs. Not long in the school, Percy Jackson was accused by the gods of stealing the thunder rod of Zeus. Percy Jackson is required to hand over his thunder wand within 10 days, otherwise, his mother will be killed by these gods, and the war between the gods is inevitable...

    there is still one minute left: three discriminated high school students have invented a time machine that allows them to go back in time and change their social status, And help other unfairly treated children to avoid the humiliation of discrimination in high school
    twilight 2, new moon and 1 are about vampires. Bella (Kristen Stewart) is 18 years old and her father gives her a gift. Edward (Robert Pattinson) shows her love generously and tells her the legend of the Italian vampire king. Edward's red haired sister Alice (Ashley Greene, Ashley Greene) holds a birthday party specially for Bella. During the party, Bella accidentally cuts her arm and is attacked by Gaspar. Only with Edward's protection can she escape. However, since then, Edward graally alienated Bella and proposed to break up. This makes Bella cold, but Edward also has difficulties, still secretly protect Bella. Bella is in the empty window period, and her old friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner) makes a warm call, which makes their relationship warm up. Since then, Bella because of the cliff rescue, just know that Jacob is a werewolf, specialized in dealing with vampires. At the same time, Edward, who didn't know about it, thought Bella had committed suicide and was disheartened. He came to Italy to ask the royal family to end his life...

    bloodthirsty daybreak, I think the ending is a little ironic
    2012 is also very good, and the fantasy show of Arthur and his mini kingdom is also very good
    8. From this passage: Xiaohong is very beautiful and has good grades. The head teacher likes her very much and always acts on her. Sometimes after the end of self-study in the evening, she still stays to discuss learning problems, but Xiaohong does not exclude the behavior of the head teacher. In addition to Xiaoming, the whole class hated her very much and often bullied her. Everyone scolded her for pretending to be arrogant and being coquettish behind her back. She always liked to report to the teacher and seced the head teacher. Xiao Ming is an exception. He has been fond of Xiao Hong for more than two years. He gives her food every day and helps her organize the books thrown away by her classmates. And Xiaohong is not moved by the things he gives and the care he gives. But Xiaoming still likes her, and insists on giving her things and calling her, even if she answers the phone and hangs up immediately. One day, Xiaohong was killed in the classroom. The killer tied her to her seat with a rope. Her face was covered with layers of wet tissue, and she died of suffocation. Little red's hair was messy. When she opened the tissue, she found that her face was bruised and her clothes were torn to pieces, but she was not indecent. The time of death was about 11 o'clock the night before, and a lot of snacks and supplies were found at the scene. All the students in the class agreed that they were all given by Xiao Ming. JC also found her mobile phone in her pocket, opened it and checked the call records. It was found that Xiaoming had called Xiaohong at 11 o'clock the night before, and the call time was 2 seconds. The school security office said that they went to bed very early last night and didn't check the classroom. About 30 surveillance cameras around the school were crooked and covered with black cloth in a short time. Ma Jian, the head teacher, also said that he went home to bed very early last night. Xiao Ming is in agony about Xiao Hong's death. This has caused a huge shadow to Xiaoming. Xiaoming is going to dig a big pit to bury Xiaohong. Here's our problem!!!! Which school is the best?
    9. This has to contact speculators. It's their problem. Now many trading platforms are fooling around and don't talk about the rules at all.
