Difference between POS and POW mining modes
POW: full name of proof of work
pos: proof of stake
both of them are the consensus mechanism of blockchain and the bookkeeping method of digital currency
the difference is:
1. POW mechanism: workload proof mechanism, that is, the proof of workload, is the requirement that must be met when generating a new transaction information (that is, a new block) to be added to the blockchain. In the blockchain network based on workload proof mechanism, the ability of nodes to obtain the correct numerical solution to generate blocks by calculating the numerical solution of random hash hash is the specific performance of node computing power
POS mechanism: the proof of rights and interests requires the certifier to provide a certain amount of ownership of cryptocurrency. The operation mode of the proof of rights and interests mechanism is that when creating a new block, the miners need to create a "currency right" transaction, and the transaction will send some coins to the miners themselves according to the preset proportion. According to the proportion and time of token owned by each node, the equity proof mechanism reces the mining difficulty of nodes proportionally according to the algorithm, so as to speed up the speed of searching for random numbersextended materials:
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software and the P2P network on it were designed and released. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction
first of all, the topic is not right. Now there are all kinds of currencies on the exchange, whether it's big platforms like Qube, or small ones like coin an, or competitive ones like Shanzhai coins. They are not all POS models
for example, LTC is a variant of crypt algorithm pow, dogcoin is a variant of pow, and auxpow is a fusion mining algorithm
Dashi coin is the pow of X11 algorithm, Ethereum is the pow of ethash algorithm, and Diandian coin is the pow + POS simultaneous mining. Now the new Shanzhai coin is mostly the early POW + late POS mode, the reason is 1, the early POW is to avoid uneven distribution. 2. In the later stage, POS can't win in the pow competition, but the computing power is low, and POW is easy to be attacked by 51
that is, only from the perspective of security: high computing power pow (including auxpow like dog coin) & gt; POS> Low computing power pow
Shanzhai coin is to learn from bitcoin and innovate and expand on the basis of bitcoin. The user community cannot be compared with bitcoin. The consensus of many people in the community is that some well-designed counterfeit coins will become a supplement to bitcoin, and bitcoin will become a supplement to fiat money, with one more choice.
it's very easy to register a Hong Kong company. You only need to provide your ID card and company name. The registration time is 10 to 15 working days. It's very fast.
POC uses a very slow hash algorithm, which makes the bottleneck of getting the "right answer" come from the storage capacity rather than the computing speed of the chip. This mechanism requires that miners only need to prepare more storage space, rather than stack computing power
lava is a decentralized digital encryption infrastructure based on POC. Moreover, lava's vision, team and technical support all point to a grand goal, aiming to become the root of trust and top-level index of global storage space. Therefore, lava occupies an excellent track of POC mining + decentralized storage, with huge development space.
2. POS is the proof of rights and interests of POS, which is an upgrade consensus mechanism of pow; According to the token proportion and time of each node; It can rece the difficulty of mining in equal proportion, so as to speed up the speed of finding random numbers. In a word: the more you hold, the more you get. POS is capitalism, distributing according to money, money makes money
3. I read the news a few days ago that God V wanted to solve this problem. Pgpow algorithm is proposed by biut public chain. Polling group proof of work integrates the advantages of POS and POW consensus algorithm to realize decentralized POW mining.
