Chapter 614: Tank Battle

It's hard to get started. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Bitcoin is a start.
However, at this time, it did not attract much attention, on the one hand, it was not publicized externally, but it was only released in a small circle, and on the other hand, even in this circle, there are not many people who can understand Bitcoin and believe in Bitcoin.
But that's the beginning after all.
Since the release of the Bitcoin client, the rules of Bitcoin have been completely set, and even if the client is upgraded in the future, this will not change, only some details will be changed, such as how to make the confirmation of payments faster, and how to make the mining process more efficient under the premise of abiding by the basic rules.
At this moment, Bitcoin has the extremely high expectations of the first batch of supporters, like a seedling of hope, and it is still a little fragile, and everyone is carefully caring for it, looking forward to the moment when it grows into a supporting tree.
Although relatively speaking, there are still very few users, and the growth rate is much slower than when he released the bit messenger, but Lin Hong watched the computing power of the whole network continue to rise, and his heart was extremely excited and excited.
After all, it's time to hit the road.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
With each new access and each additional mining rig, Bitcoin becomes more powerful and less likely to be attacked by malicious attacks.
Lin Hong is in ...... There is a project registered on the website and the source code is hosted on it, and this website is a foreign website that specializes in hosting open source projects. It has project code contributed by open source software developers from all over the country.
Subsequently, Lin Hong registered the domain name of Bitcoin with a fake identity, which is the English name of Bitcoin, and 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 internationally as USD.
The open source forum was also built, but the space it used was not purchased by Lin Hong, but contributed by the first member of the email.
An open-source software. It is necessary to establish a forum community so that everyone can communicate and discuss together, and provide a place for newcomers to ask questions.
Mutual aid forums have basically become an important part of the open source community.
The place of discussion was moved from secret mail to the forum. At this time, everyone also began to actively introduce Bitcoin to their friends, highly recommending them to use Bitcoin, recognize Bitcoin, and even become miners.
Some people recognized the idea and joined.
And some people are dismissive of it and even think it's a scam.
Electronic?
What's the use? Knowledgeable people will ask. And then to say, the meaning of money is that it has utility in itself, and what about Bitcoin? Can you use Bitcoin to buy real-world things?
No? So what is the value of its existence? It's worthless!
Many people are stumped by this question.
Yes, Bitcoin's design theory is indeed very beautiful and almost unassailable. But what is its value?
Paper money has a credit guarantee from the government and can be used to buy goods, but what about Bitcoin?
However, not everyone has been stabilized by this problem.
Bitcoin is also valuable. As long as you recognize it, there is value.
Many people have said that they are willing to accept bitcoin payments and provide various services.
For example, translating, creating web pages, renting out cyberspace...... And so on and so forth.
Advocates of Bitcoin have begun to take action to support Bitcoin with their own practical actions, and strive for Bitcoin to become a circulating online currency as soon as possible.
The advantages of this currency are so obvious, absolute anonymity, extremely low commissions, no risk of inflation...... It's the currency of the future.
The first people who were able to embrace the idea of Bitcoin. Most of them are technical experts, hackers, cryptographers, computer scientists, etc. They have a thorough understanding of what Bitcoin stands for, and they feel that it is by far the most reliable currency.
I believe in technology, so I believe in Bitcoin...... The development of Bitcoin is rising steadily, and what Lin Hong has to do is basically completed, and it is enough to guide him to do this step in the early stage.
Some people on the forum have already begun to discuss the true identity of ghoster, after all, in the eyes of some people, Bitcoin is very rebellious, and if it continues to develop smoothly, it may not be able to subvert the existing financial system.
These days, Lin Hong has found that the forum server is frequented by many people every day, and they are looking for data in the forum's database, focusing on the details of the Ghoster account, such as IP address, online time, and so on.
Lin Hong smiled at this, he had expected this situation for a long time, so whether it was contacting people or posting on forums, they were all strictly encrypted, and others could not trace his real IP at all.
This method is what he has long played.
He freely dealt with the detection of these people, and each time the other party returned in vain.
Although through everyone's efforts, new people join the Bitcoin camp every day, the current growth rate of the whole network is still too slow, especially when the enthusiasm of the first group of people gradually cools down, and the number of people who are willing to use their own machines to drive a mining software for mining is gradually decreasing.
This is also understandable, after all, Bitcoin has no value at the beginning, and many people just join in the fun, find it interesting, so they download it and dig it for a while, and when the curiosity passes, they will forget about it, after all, the mining software has long occupied their own computers, and the CPU has been running at full speed, and it is very power-hungry, and non-fanatical enthusiasts can't stick to it.
Lin Hong pondered in his heart that it would not be okay to let it go like this in the early stage, Bitcoin is still very weak for the time being, if someone finds the 51% attack vulnerability of Bitcoin, and the idle egg pain has to be verified in person, the stability of Bitcoin will have a big problem, which may directly fall short, and directly make everyone completely lose confidence.
"Instead of letting others control Bitcoin, it is better for me to improve the computing power of the main network as soon as possible, and I can mine some Bitcoin, and wait for Bitcoin to appreciate in the future, which can be regarded as an investment."
According to his design, as long as Bitcoin continues to develop smoothly, it will appreciate for sure.
Scarcity is precious, and this has been the case since ancient times.
After staying at home for a long time, the bitcoin matter has come to an end for the time being, Lin Hong plans to return to the company, set up a bitcoin mining team in the company, and then buy a computer to mine.
And just when he decided to buy a ticket to fly back to Shanghai, he was connected to two phone calls.
One was a classmate and roommate Wu Dong, who asked Lin Hong about his current situation, and then chatted with him about the current progress of virtual machines.
Previously, Lin Hong proposed a robotank idea for their group, asking them to build a 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 they ...... It has become one of the most popular programs for computer science students in colleges and universities in the North J region.
Wu Dong had to be excited when he talked about this.
In the beginning, the virtual machine project was purely a learning project, and people were interested in this project just to learn about the principles of computer composition.
But this kind of development is too boring and very advanced after all, and it is impossible to stick to it without a solid foundation and amazing stamina.
All in all, it's too niche.
Although it has attracted the attention of some teachers, and some teachers have directly used it as a teaching material to teach, the course is a course after all, and for many people, it is still a bit boring.
However, the emergence of RoboAnk has completely changed this situation...... is a robot tank battle game that sets fixed rules, and then programmed the tanks to compete in a fixed place to determine the winner.
In order to participate in this program, you must know how to program, and in order to win the competition, you must design a better attack algorithm.
Programming and games are fully and organically combined, and this is the ...... After Lin Hong put forward this idea at that time, Wu Dong thought it was very good, but he never thought that this game would be loved by so many people.
After they wrote RoboAnk, they started playing with people within the development team, and they were addicted to it, thinking about how to make their tanks better dodge the opponent's shells and hit the opponent's tanks more accurately.
Then, the surrounding classmates slowly learned about this program from their mouths, and more and more people joined, and eventually, a moderator of the Mizuki forum also joined in, and he also opened a special "robot tank battle" section in the forum.
This time, the entire computer science department of Mizuki University was immediately detonated.
Everyone knows that there is such a game, which can be programmed by itself, and whoever has the better algorithm will win the game.
Almost in just a few days...... It swept the entire faculty, and then spread to the surrounding colleges, and now it has been welcomed by many colleges and universities, and in these schools, a special robotank athletic association has been established.
"Boss, recently, representatives of major schools are communicating on OICQ, proposing to hold a national RoboAnk tank competition, and once a year, it will continue to be held." Sun Wu said to Lin Hong excitedly, "This activity has been recognized by the school!" (To be continued)! ~!
