What does the difficulty of virtual currency adjustment mean
in the current situation, blockchain is not a mature technology. What the market values is the so-called prospect, and it will take time to improve and excavate it slowly. However, the collapse of virtual currency is just a return to its own value
in short, I think bitcoin will continue to grow slowly after falling below a certain price. The current slump is just that the funds attracted by the previous heat have discovered the characteristics of virtual currency (hacker attack, dealer trading, these two situations will probably only appear in the newly issued currency, which is determined by the characteristics of blockchain, in other words, Hackers may also attack bitcoin in the early stage, but the more people and nodes bitcoin enters, the lower the probability of this situation, and the more difficult it is to generate)
in addition, I think that a large number of people in China even don't know what bitcoin is, so they are ready to make a fortune with money.
mining is a nickname for the exploration method of acquiring bitcoin. Because of its working principle is very similar to mining minerals, so named. In addition, bitcoin explorers who do mining work are also known as miners
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system
bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network can get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes
then the bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as a reward to reward the person who gets the answer
extended data:
to be a miner, just "mine" bitcoin and search for 64 bit numbers by computer. By repeatedly decrypting with a computer, it competes with other gold miners to provide the number needed for the bitcoin network
if the computer can successfully create a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins. Bitcoin is decentralized. It needs to create a fixed number of bitcoins per unit of computing time. It can get 25 bitcoins every 10 minutes
by 2140, the upper limit of bitcoin in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system can be self-sufficient, which can be translated into coding to resist inflation and prevent others from sabotaging< br />
The real virtual currency must first have open source code, decentralization, and constant distribution
if the initial mining scale of this coin is large, it can be split
In fact, it mainly depends on whether it can circulate, that is, it is recognized by peoplevirtual currency is mainly issued by online game service providers to purchase game props, such as equipment, clothing, etc. But at present, the use of virtual currency has gone far beyond this category. Virtual currency can be used to buy game cards, physical objects and download services of some movies and software
extended materials:
real risk
as the proct of e-commerce, virtual currency has begun to play an increasingly important role, and more and more with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers
fraud
the private transaction of online virtual currency has realized the two-way circulation between virtual currency and RMB to a certain extent. The activity of these traders is to buy all kinds of virtual currencies and procts at a low price, and then sell them at a high price to earn profits. With the increase of such transactions, there are even virtual mints
when the vast majority of video card mining machines and CPU mining machines are in a mine disaster, bitcoin mining with ASIC mining machines will not be affected. As the first big man in the virtual currency circle, bitcoin has become a deep-rooted belief in the coin circle. The total number of 21 million bitcoins also determines the transaction type and value-added of bitcoin
although bitcoin has begun to be recognized by most people, it has not really replaced the world's currency to fulfill its original intention, but it has become a collection beyond gold. The inflation of money, the rection of the total amount of mining and the increasing difficulty of mining all determine its future market prospects. The value-added has been firmly established, so people will rush to dig for mines, Because the bitcoin is actually worth more than gold
the later, the longer it takes to calculate each data block, the lower the update frequency of calculation difficulty.
network virtual currency can be roughly divided into
the first category is familiar game currency. In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, and using these to buy Herbs and equipment, but it can only be used in his own game console. At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the establishment of Internet portal and community, the realization of game networking, virtual currency has a "financial market", players can trade game currency
the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services
the third kind of virtual currency on the Internet, such as bitcoin (BTC), Fuyuan coin (FTC) and Wright currency (LTC). Bitcoin is an electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. Some people also translate bitcoin as "bitcoin", which is a kind of network virtual currency. It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new currency.
many people will find resources like virtual currency often mentioned in the news when they learn about the economic news moreover, in our daily life, we also feel special concern for such a relevant market. At the beginning of April, there was a big increase in global psychological money, which broke the historical record of US $200 million
bitcoin like this and virtual currency like Ethereum, and their prices have also repeatedly reached new highs, so they have attracted a large number of investors they also want to make such investment and financial management through their own other channels, and there may be some violations of the law and discipline. For example, for some virtual currencies, they may also have some other platforms, and they will also launch some platform currencies or counterfeit currencies. Although from now on, the market value of bitcoin is probably on the top of US $100 billion, many people still hold a more cautious and skeptical attitude towards bitcoin. After all, the rise of bitcoin is not always in a continuous upward trend, and there will be a decline
lightning network is a kind of chain breaking technology, which uses layer 2 to eliminate the transaction processing capacity of bitcoin
examples of terminology usage
bitfinex plans to implement tether based lightning network (usdt)
detailed description
if lightning network is introced, it is possible to trade outside the crowded blockchain, so as to speed up the transaction speed and rece the cost. If you can speed up transactions and rece costs, you can make small payments, which is expected to create new procts and services
Mining pool is an organized server, which is created to collect the hash value of each miner and cooperate in mining
examples of terminology usage
the rewards earned by the virtual currency exchange binance in the mining pool can be directly traded by binance
detailed description
in the mining business of vital scale, a mechanism for multiple miners to cooperate in mining. The reward is paid according to the contribution of the mining
7. Half lifehalf life refers to the time when the mining reward (= new circulation) of bitcoin and other virtual currencies is reced by half
examples of terminology usage
cryptocurrency bitcoin (BTC) will reach its third half-life on May 12, 2020, and the mining reward will be reced from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC
detailed description
many virtual currencies have "issuance limits" to prevent inflation, and the new issuance will be reced by half every certain interval of half-life. This is also a noteworthy event unique to virtual money, because with the decrease of supply and the rising of price, the scarcity value increases significantly
