1.Introduction

2.Transactions

Wedefineanelectroniccoinasachainofdigitalsignatures.Eachownertransfersthecointothenextbydigitallysigningahashoftheprevioustransactionandthepublickeyofthenextownerandaddingthesetotheendofthecoin.Apayeecanverifythesignaturestoverifythechainofownership.

Theproblemofcourseisthepayeecan'tverifythatoneoftheownersdidnotdouble-spendthecoin.Acommonsolutionistointroduceatrustedcentralauthority,ormint,thatcheckseverytransactionfordoublespending.Aftereachtransaction,thecoinmustbereturnedtotheminttoissueanewcoin,andonlycoinsissueddirectlyfromthemintaretrustednottobedouble-spent.Theproblemwiththissolutionisthatthefateoftheentiremoneysystemdependsonthecompanyrunningthemint,witheverytransactionhavingtogothroughthem,justlikeabank.

Weneedawayforthepayeetoknowthatthepreviousownersdidnotsignanyearliertransactions.Forourpurposes,theearliesttransactionistheonethatcounts,sowedon'tcareaboutlaterattemptstodouble-spend.Theonlywaytoconfirmtheabsenceofatransactionistobeawareofalltransactions.Inthemintbasedmodel,themintwasawareofalltransactionsanddecidedwhicharrivedfirst.Toaccomplishthiswithoutatrustedparty,transactionsmustbepubliclyannounced,andweneedasystemforparticipantstoagreeonasinglehistoryoftheorderinwhichtheywerereceived.Thepayeeneedsproofthatatthetimeofeachtransaction,themajorityofnodesagreeditwasthefirstreceived.

3.TimestampServer

Thesolutionweproposebeginswithatimestampserver.Atimestampserverworksbytakingahashofablockofitemstobetimestampedandwidelypublishingthehash,suchasinanewspaperorUsenetpost.Thetimestampprovesthatthedatamusthaveexistedatthetime,obviously,inordertogetintothehash.Eachtimestampincludestheprevioustimestampinitshash,formingachain,witheachadditionaltimestampreinforcingtheonesbeforeit.

4.Proof-of-Work

Toimplementadistributedtimestampserveronapeer-to-peerbasis,wewillneedtouseaproofof-worksystemsimilartoAdamBack'sHashcash,ratherthannewspaperorUsenetposts.Theproof-of-workinvolvesscanningforavaluethatwhenhashed,suchaswithSHA-256,thehashbeginswithanumberofzerobits.Theaverageworkrequiredisexponentialinthenumberofzerobitsrequiredandcanbeverifiedbyexecutingasinglehash.

Forourtimestampnetwork,weimplementtheproof-of-workbyincrementinganonceintheblockuntilavalueisfoundthatgivestheblock'shashtherequiredzerobits.OncetheCPUefforthasbeenexpendedtomakeitsatisfytheproof-of-work,theblockcannotbechangedwithoutredoingthework.Aslaterblocksarechainedafterit,theworktochangetheblockwouldincluderedoingalltheblocksafterit.

中國銀行首席科學家郭為民：押寶比特幣是因為充分認可數字貨幣可行性:1月19日消息，中國銀行首席科學家郭為民表示，比特幣作為“數字黃金”，正在得到市場的認可。從傳統金融學角度來看，比特幣價值其實為0。現在大家對數字貨幣和數字金融的可行性充分認可，但是不確定該以什么方式去做，所以押寶在比特幣身上。（第一財經）[2021/1/19 16:30:48]

Theproof-of-workalsosolvestheproblemofdeterminingrepresentationinmajoritydecisionmaking.Ifthemajoritywerebasedonone-IP-address-one-vote,itcouldbesubvertedbyanyoneabletoallocatemanyIPs.Proof-of-workisessentiallyone-CPU-one-vote.Themajoritydecisionisrepresentedbythelongestchain,whichhasthegreatestproofof-workeffortinvestedinit.IfamajorityofCPUpoweriscontrolledbyhonestnodes,thehonestchainwillgrowthefastestandoutpaceanycompetingchains.Tomodifyapastblock,anattackerwouldhavetoredotheproof-ofworkoftheblockandallblocksafteritandthencatchupwithandsurpasstheworkofthehonestnodes.Wewillshowlaterthattheprobabilityofaslowerattackercatchingupdiminishesexponentiallyassubsequentblocksareadded.

5.Network

Thestepstorunthenetworkareasfollows:

1)Newtransactionsarebroadcasttoallnodes.

2)Eachnodecollectsnewtransactionsintoablock.

3)Eachnodeworksonfindingadifficultproof-of-workforitsblock.

4)Whenanodefindsaproof-of-work,itbroadcaststheblocktoallnodes.

5)Nodesaccepttheblockonlyifalltransactionsinitarevalidandnotalreadyspent.

6)Nodesexpresstheiracceptanceoftheblockbyworkingoncreatingthenextblockinthechain,usingthehashoftheacceptedblockastheprevioushash.

Nodesalwaysconsiderthelongestchaintobethecorrectoneandwillkeepworkingonextendingit.Iftwonodesbroadcastdifferentversionsofthenextblocksimultaneously,somenodesmayreceiveoneortheotherfirst.Inthatcase,theyworkonthefirstonetheyreceived,butsavetheotherbranchincaseitbecomeslonger.Thetiewillbebrokenwhenthenextproofof-workisfoundandonebranchbecomeslonger;thenodesthatwereworkingontheotherbranchwillthenswitchtothelongerone.

Theincentivecanalsobefundedwithtransactionfees.Iftheoutputvalueofatransactionislessthanitsinputvalue,thedifferenceisatransactionfeethatisaddedtotheincentivevalueoftheblockcontainingthetransaction.Onceapredeterminednumberofcoinshaveenteredcirculation,theincentivecantransitionentirelytotransactionfeesandbecompletelyinflationfree.

肖磊：比特幣避險作用有限 但人類低估了它代表的趨勢:3月12日，肖磊發文《比特幣避險作用有限 但人類低估了它代表的趨勢》稱，比特幣等的出現，其實是市場需求推動的結果。目前看，類似于比特幣一樣的數字貨幣，已經滿足了部分需求，比如超主權屬性。至于便捷性，包括兩個方面，一個是數字化、跨國交易、接受度，另一個是可以承載的吞吐量。實際上比特幣除了在吞吐量上面難以達到要求之外，其他方面的發展是具有高維度潛力的。人說，比特幣價格劇烈波動，并不能作為一種貨幣來使用，我覺得這種想法是典型的分析師思維，而不是歷史性思維。肖磊強調稱，比特幣是一個更符合未來需求的貨幣工具。一種貨幣的價格，是否穩定并不是誰規定出來的，而是通過長時間的市場博弈，撮合出來的，比特幣僅僅是處在這樣一個博弈期。如果站在歷史的角度，不管是誰試圖去阻止貨幣這個工具向前改進和演變的趨勢，最終都可能一敗涂地，從而喪失競爭優勢。未來數字貨幣市場的競爭，并非簡單的對數字貨幣的主權性創造，而是爭奪對數字貨幣的“標簽”權，因為只有更多的創造財富，更多的創造稅收，更高效的提升社會分配體系，才能更多的“標簽”數字貨幣。[2020/3/12]

動態 | 美國當局指控DropBit CEO涉嫌洗錢3.11億美元的比特幣:據 The Block 報道，加密錢包提供商 DropBit 的首席執行官 Larry Dean Harmon 因涉嫌為暗網交易洗錢 3.11 億美元而被起訴。報道稱，Harmon 被指控通過暗網市場 AlphaBay 銷售，該市場于 2017 年被聯邦當局關閉。該市場是芬太尼和的主要來源地。在 2014 年至 2017 年期間，Harmon 通過他的名為 Helix 的混合服務洗錢了至少 354,468 個比特幣 (當時價值超過 3.11 億美元)。按現在的價格，這些比特幣價值超過 37 億美元。[2020/2/13]
