Chapter 375 Cheers

Since the birth of the Internet, hackers and cryptographic experts have never stopped exploring electronic money.

They have always wanted such an electronic currency: on the one hand, they need to be easily used, can use digital devices to sell anytime and anywhere, can be transferred at will, or paid in small amounts, without worrying about no change.

On the other hand, I hope the handling fee will be low.

In the past, as a currency storage institution, banks used a lot of costs to manage money, and it was understandable that they charged a certain fee for the access and withdrawal of money.

But today, many systems have been quite perfect, and the process has been optimized. There are more and more businesses of bank cards, credit cards, telephone banking and even online banking. At this time, remittance transactions may only mean the transfer of numbers for the whole system of the bank. Everything exists in a digital state, and there is almost no cost.

However, these institutions still need to charge more expensive handling fees, which is obviously unreasonable. A large amount of money was consumed in the process of transfer and entered the banker's pocket.

And most importantly, cryptopunkists hope that the use of money can eliminate tracking and get out of the control of the government and banks.

Money, as a private property, should be protected by law. However, for various historical reasons, the use and value of money are inseparable from the influence of banks and governments.

In foreign countries, credit cards are very developed, and credit card records are stored in the bank's system.

Some people obtain this information through special means, and then regularly mail them various advertising brochures according to their consumption habits. Some people use these records to achieve other unspeakable secrets. This kind of private ** violation has been disgusted by many people, and there have even been many protest marches for this purpose.

In addition, because the bank has the right to issue currency. If the economy is sluggish, there will be a fiscal deficit due to poor management. They are likely to solve these problems by printing money. This way. The currency in the hands of the people has depreciated accordingly, the money is worthless, and the wealth in their hands has been plundered by the bankers or the government in this way.

These are all problems that crypto punkists want to solve.

They hope for the development of computer technology and want to create an electronic currency that can solve these problems.

I have to say. The original intention of ECASH is very good, and several backbone members of the cryptopunk organization strongly support it. However, in Lin Hong's opinion, this kind of so-called electronic currency is actually a change.

They plan to develop an electronic cash system. **Outside the bank. Then electronic currency cards are issued to customers and merchants, and they realize the transaction circulation of currency by top-up and withdrawal.

In the electronic cash system, no customer's consumption records are recorded, so that the anonymity of transactions can be achieved. At the same time, through special technical means, they strictly verify the currency in the electronic cash system. It can ensure that the electronic money inside cannot be reused.

It seems good, but Lin Hong is not very optimistic about it.

Because. To put it bluntly, this ECASH system is just a variant of the bank. Their foundation is still [real] real currency. The relationship with the bank is too close. Once there is any change in the bank, ECASH will naturally be affected.

[Real] The actual currency will depreciate, and the ECASH electronic currency will also depreciate.

"The real [revolutionary] e-money should completely eliminate the connection with the bank, completely ** out, and no one can have an impact on it." Lin Hong thought so in his heart.

When he was on a mission in Bosnia, he was most touched by this aspect when he saw the bankruptcy of the government, the collapse of the banking system, and the local currency becoming waste paper overnight.

In his spare time, he also thought about this problem.

The derivation of a new currency based on the old monetary system will inevitably be affected by the old monetary system. As long as this connection exists, the new currency can only be said to be a new variant, which can only partially solve some problems, but not fundamentally.

The only problem solved by this ECASH system may be that it can make the transaction anonymous to a certain extent, and cash flows in the ECASH system without going through the bank. In this way, when the local ECASH bank circulates, no one knows where the money is sent.

In this email, several algorithms for verifying the repeated use of currency were discussed. Lin Hong also participated in this discussion on a whim and replied to an email, in which a payment verification algorithm was provided.

What the cryptopunk organization is currently doing is very meaningful, and Lin Hong thinks it should be supported. There are still many masters here. They are thinking about how to make the world a better place through cryptography every day.

This group of people are very cute. Most of them are idealists. They believe in technology and believe that the future will become better.

In fact, Lin Hong also has such a plot in his heart.

At the same time, he also believes that in the field of money, if there is any currency that can replace traditional currency, it must be electronic money. It has not appeared yet, because the technology has not yet reached this level, and neither hardware nor software has reached this trigger condition.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ma Huateng came to Tricolor Fire Technology, Lin Hong was testing the performance of the "Mars rover" in the office and in the summer.

After such a period of closed development, the 0.1 version of LINX has finally come out.

This is the first relatively complete version with some common basic functions, which are comparable to MINIX and can really be called an operating system.

The "Mars rover" slowly moves forward in the office. On its body, it is equipped with an infrared obstacle sensor. When it detects something in front of it, it will make corresponding adjustments according to the pre-programmed program and execute reverse and turning instructions.

Through the infrared remote control device, the car can also be remotely controlled to load a mechanical claw on the body to clean up the garbage on the ground.

This kind of control is not the control of ordinary remote control toys at all, but simply using instructions. The next action will be completed by the car by itself, which is semi-automated to a certain extent.

The car seems to be a simple operation, but it is of great significance to all members of the R&D department.

This means that the LINX system they developed during this period really began to enter the programmable and testable stage, and before that, LINX was just a toy.

Seeing that the car successfully claws a paper ball on the ground with mechanical claws, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the office.

Although they only completed some peripheral code, and the core code was mainly completed by Lin Hong, Xia Xia and Lin Peng, this did not affect their joy at all. In the single-chip microcomputer ROM on this car, after all, there is their own code, even if there is only one line, it is worth being happy.

At the beginning, when they heard that their company planned to develop an operating system, they were still a little nervous and had no confidence at all. Many people were not optimistic about it in private.

And this view has made a big reversal in just one month.

Lin Hong has completely conquered all the employees of the R&D department with his own technology, making them believe that as long as they follow his plan and study hard, they can not only develop the operating system, but also complete it faster than others.

After all, they have so many people, and they are doing this full-time, led by Lin Hong, an experienced person, and before that, the core of LINX has taken shape, so their development progress is naturally much faster than when LINU developed LINUX.

Many people still can't believe it. They have witnessed the birth of a new operating system in just a few months. Although the function of this operating system is still very simple, everything starts from simplicity, doesn't it?

Today, the successful operation of the rover shows that they have made a good start. As their Mr. Lin said, they are writing and creating history by themselves.

When PonyMa was led into the office by the front desk girl, he happened to see the scene where all the members of the R&D department were cheering collectively.

"Mr. Lin, this Mr. Ma said it was your friend and had an appointment before." The girl at the front desk walked to Lin Hong and said.

"Okay, thank you. Go ahead." Lin Hong nodded to her.

Seeing the young man in glasses and a suit in front of him, Lin Hong had guessed his identity. After all, he had already said hello to him before the other party came.

"Compared with you, you are Pony, right?" Lin Hong smiled loudly and said, "Welcome to visit and guide the three-color fire technology!"

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I can't talk about guidance. I'm here to learn." The voice of the person coming was slender and gentle, and it was Ma Huateng who came from Shen Z.

The two young people just held each other.

They walked all the way to Lin Hong's office, and PonyMa looked carefully at everything he saw all the way.

The layout here is very distinctive. There is a large table in the middle, on which there are a variety of instruments and equipment and electronic components. Everyone's desks are arranged at will, one by one, like a maze. In the corner of the spacious office, there is even a table tennis table.

The faces of the people he saw were filled with this relaxed smile. Everyone got along with each other very casually. They walked around and dressed as they wanted, with all kinds of clothes.

This situation is completely different from that of their company. In his company, it is a standard office office, and everyone wears professional formal clothes at work.

In contrast, it gives people a more relaxed and [self] atmosphere, which makes people feel very comfortable.

When he came to Lin Hong's office, PonyMa opened her mouth and asked the first question he came here: "What were you happy about just now? I saw you all cheering?"
