Virtual currency service
On January 18, the business management department of the people's Bank of China issued the "notice on carrying out self inspection and rectification of payment services for illegal virtual currency transactions", which made it clear that the unit and its branches are strictly prohibited from providing services for virtual currency transactions, and took effective measures to prevent payment channels from being used for virtual currency transactions
the notice also shows that for the discovered virtual currency transactions, the payment channels of relevant transaction entities should be closed in time, and the funds to be settled should be properly handled
reported and quoted pan Gongsheng as saying in the memo: "we should always maintain a high pressure on the virtual money market, strictly prevent the risk of virtual money from gathering again, and eliminate the potential risks in the bud." He also said that the national and local authorities should ban the places that provide bitcoin and other virtual currency centralized trading, as well as the so-called "wallet" service providers that provide guarantee and clearing services for virtual currency centralized trading, and indivials or institutions that provide market maker services for centralized trading
Segregated witness is a bitcoin scalability scheme proposed by Pieter wuille, one of the maintainers of bitcoin core. In short, this scheme is to change the transaction structure of bitcoin, take out the signed part of the transaction and put it into another structure called witness
this kind of technology is reliable. The reason why the Chinese community opposes it is actually the core, not this technology. This technology is still relatively good, but the bitcoin community does not see the decline of the main chain. Lightning network intelligence plays an auxiliary role instead of replacing the main chain. Therefore, most people insist on the expansion of the main chain
