Chapter 614 Tank Wars

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

Bitcoin is a start.

However, at this time, it did not attract much attention. On the one hand, it was not publicized in the first place, but only released in a small circle. On the other hand, even in this circle, there are not many people who can understand Bitcoin and believe in Bitcoin.

But after all, this is the beginning.

Since the release of the Bitcoin client, the rules of Bitcoin have been completely established. In the future, even if the client is upgraded, this will not change. What has been changed is only some details, such as how to make the confirmation of payment faster, and how to abide by the basic rules. Make the mining efficiency of the mining process higher.

At this moment, Bitcoin is placed on the extremely high expectations of the first batch of supporters, just like a seedling of hope, and a little fragile. Everyone is carefully taking care of it, looking forward to the moment when it grows into a big tree.

Although there are still relatively few users, much slower than when he released the bit messenger, Lin Hong was extremely excited and excited when he saw that the computing power of the whole network continued to rise.

After all, it's time to go on the road.

A spark can start a prairie fire.

For every new access added, for each additional mining device, the power of Bitcoin will be greater than one point, and the risk of malicious attacks will be reduced by one point.

Lin Hong registered a project on the website and hosted the source code on it. This website is a foreign website that specializes in hosting open source projects. There is the project code contributed by open source software developers from all over the country.

Subsequently, Lin Hong registered the domain name of Bitcoin as a forgery. Its English name is bitcoin, which is the English name of Bitcoin. The abbreviation of Bitcoin is BTC. These three characters will also be used as the unit of Bitcoin. Just as the US dollar is abbreviated as USD internationally.

The open source forum has also been built, but the space used is not purchased by Lin Hong, but contributed by the first member of the mailing list.

An open source software. It is necessary to establish a forum community so that everyone can communicate and discuss together here and provide a place for newcomers to ask questions.

The mutual assistance forum has basically become an important part of the open source community.

The discussion was transferred from the secret mailing list to the forum. At this time, everyone also began to actively introduce Bitcoin to their friends, strongly recommending them to use Bitcoin, recognize Bitcoin, and even become miners.

Some people recognized this idea and joined it.

And some people disdain it and even think it is a scam.

Electronic money?

What's the use of

? People who know how to do it will ask. Then it is said that the meaning of the existence of money is that it has practical value, and what about Bitcoin? Can you use Bitcoin to buy real things?

Can't? So what is the value of its existence? It's worthless!

Many people are puzzled by this problem.

Yes, the design theory of Bitcoin is indeed very beautiful and almost impeccable. But where is its value?

Banknotes have government credit guarantees and can be used to buy goods, but what about Bitcoin?

However, not everyone is stabilized by this problem.

Bitcoin is also valuable. As long as you recognize it, it has value.

Many people have expressed their willingness to accept Bitcoin payment and provide various services.

For example, translating, making web pages, renting cyberspace... and so on.

The admirers of Bitcoin began to act one after another to support Bitcoin with their own practical actions, and strive for Bitcoin to become an online currency in circulation as soon as possible.

The advantages of this currency are too obvious. It is absolutely anonymous, extremely low fees, and there is no risk of inflation... It is simply the ideal future currency.

The first to be able to accept the concept of Bitcoin. Most of them are just technical experts, hackers, cryptographers, computer scientists, etc. They can thoroughly understand the meaning behind Bitcoin, and they feel that it is the most reliable currency so far.

I believe in technology, so I believe in Bitcoin... The development of Bitcoin is rising steadily, and what Lin Hong is going to do is basically completed. It is enough to guide him to this step in the early stage.

Some people have begun to discuss the real identity of GHOSTER on the forum. After all, Bitcoin, in the eyes of some people, feels very unbelievable. If it continues to develop smoothly, it may not really subvert the existing financial system.

These days, Lin Hong found that the forum server is patroned by many people every day. They are looking for data in the database of the forum, focusing on the details of the GHOSTER account, such as the IP address, the time of launch, etc.

Lin Hong smiled at this. He had been aware of this situation for a long time, so whether it was contacting people or posting on the forum, it was closely encrypted, and others could not track his real IP at all.

This method is the rest of his long-standing play.

He is free to deal with the detection of these people, and every time the other party is useless.

Although new people join the Bitcoin camp every day through everyone's efforts, the growth rate of the whole network is still too slow, especially when the enthusiasm of a group of people is gradually cooling down, and the number of people who are willing to use their own machines to use their own machines to open a mining software for mining has gradually decreased.

This is also understandable. After all, Bitcoin was not valuable at the beginning. Many people just joined in the fun and found it interesting, so they downloaded it and dug for a period of time. When the curiosity passed, they left this matter behind. After all, they let the mining software occupy their own computers for a long time, and the CPU has been complete. It runs fast and consumes so much power that non-enthusiast can't stick to it.

Lin Hong is thinking that it can't be let go like this in the early stage. Bitcoin is still very weak for the time being. If someone finds the 51% attack loophole of Bitcoin, and the idle egg pain needs to be verified in person, the stability of Bitcoin can have a big problem, which may directly fail and directly make everyone lose. Go for confidence.

"Instead of letting others control Bitcoin, it's better for me to improve the computing power of the main network as soon as possible, and I can also dig some bitcoins. When Bitcoin appreciates in the future, it is also an investment."

According to his design, as long as Bitcoin develops smoothly, the appreciation is certain.

Rare things are precious, which has been the case since ancient times.

The time spent at home has been long enough, and the matter of Bitcoin has come to an end for the time being. Lin Hong plans to go back to the company, set up a special Bitcoin mining team in the company, and then buy computers to mine.

And when he decided to buy a plane ticket and fly back to Shanghai, he connected to two phone calls.

One is his classmate and roommate Wu Dong. He asked Lin Hong about his current situation, and then talked to him about the current progress of the virtual machine.

Previously, Lin Hong put forward a RoboTank idea for their team, asking them to build the virtual machine into a tank competition platform, and then integrate programming and algorithms.

Wu Dong told Lin Hong with great interest that they had already completed the previous work, and now... it has become the most popular project for computer students in colleges and universities in the North J region.

Wu Dong had to be excited about this.

At the beginning, the virtual machine project was just a learning project. Everyone was interested in this project just to learn about the principles of computer composition.

But after all, this kind of development is too boring and very profound. It can't be maintained without solid basic knowledge and amazing endurance.

In a word, it's too small.

Although it has attracted the attention of some teachers, and some teachers directly use it as a textbook to lecture, the course is a course after all, and for many people, it is still a little boring.

The emergence of RoboTank has completely changed the situation... It is a robot tank war game, which stipulates fixed rules, and then through programming, the tank can compete in a fixed place and finally decide the winner.

If you want to participate in this program, you must know programming. If you want to win the game, you must design a more successful attack algorithm.

fully organically combined programming and games, which is... After Lin Hong put forward this idea at that time, Wu Dong felt very good, but he never thought that this game would be loved by so many people.

After they wrote RoboTank, they were playing inside the development team at the beginning, which was simply addictive. They thought about how to make their tanks better avoid each other's shells and hit each other's tanks more accurately.

Then, the students around him slowly learned about the program from them, and more and more people joined it. In the end, a moderator of the Shuimu Forum also joined in. He also opened a special "Robot Tank Wars" section in the forum.

With this, it immediately detonated the entire computer department of Shuimu University.

Everyone knows that there is such a game that can be programmed by themselves. Whoever has the algorithm is more awesome can win the game.

Almost in just a few days... It has become popular throughout the department, and then spread to the surrounding colleges and universities. Now it has been welcomed by many colleges and universities, and among these schools, a special RoboTank Athletic Association has been established.

"Big, recently, representatives of major schools are communicating on OICQ, proposing to hold a national RoboTank tank competition, which will continue to be held once a year." Sun Wu said excitedly to Lin Hong, "This activity has been recognized by the school!" ( To be continued) RQ
