What Are Bitcoins?
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**[Bitcoin][1]** is a digital currency or electronic cash the relies on peer to peer technology for completing transactions. Since peer to peer technology is used as the major network, bitcoins provide a community like managed economy. This is to mean, bitcoins eliminate the centralized authority way of managing currency and promotes community management of currency. Most Also of the software related to bitcoin mining and managing of bitcoin digital cash is open source.
|
||||
|
||||
The first Bitcoin software was developed by Satoshi Nakamoto and it's based on open source cryptographic protocol. Bitcoins smallest unit is known as the Satoshi which is basically one-hundredth millionth of a single bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC).
|
||||
|
||||
One cannot underestimate the boundaries BITCOINS eliminate in the digital economy. For instance, the BITCOIN eliminates governed controls over currency by a centralised agency and offers control and management to the community as a whole. Furthermore, the fact that the BITCOIN is based on an open source cryptographic protocol makes it an open place where there are scrupulous activities such as fluctuating value, deflation and inflation among others. While many internet users are becoming aware of the privacy they should exercise to complete some online transactions, bitcoin is gaining more popularity than ever before. However, for those who know about the dark web and how it works can acknowledge that some people began using it long ago.
|
||||
|
||||
On the downside, the bitcoin is also very secure in making anonymous payments which may be a threat to security or personal health. For instance, the dark web markets are the major suppliers and retailers of imported drugs and even weapons. The use of BITCOINs in the dark web facilitates a safe network for such criminal activities. Despite that, if put to good use, bitcoin has many benefits that can eliminate some of the economic fallacy as a result of centralized agency management of currency. In addition, the bitcoin allows for instance exchange of cash anywhere in the world. The use of bitcoins also mitigates counterfeiting, printing, or devaluation over time. Also, while relying on peer to peer network as its backbone, it promotes the distributed authority of transaction records making it safe to make exchanges.
|
||||
|
||||
Other advantages of the bitcoin include;
|
||||
|
||||
* In the online business world, bitcoin promotes money security and total control. This is because buyers are protected against merchants who may want to charge extra for a lower cost service. The buyer can also choose not to share personal information after making a transaction. Besides, identity theft protection is achieved as a result of backed up hiding personal information.
|
||||
|
||||
* Bitcoins are provided alternatives to major common currency catastrophes such as getting lost, frozen or damaged. However, it is recommended to always make a backup of your bitcoins and encrypt them with a password.
|
||||
|
||||
* In making online purchases and payments using bitcoins, there is a small fee or zero transaction fee charged. This promotes affordability of use.
|
||||
|
||||
* Merchants also face fewer risks that could result from fraud as bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, unlike other currencies in electronic form. Bitcoins also prove useful even in moments of high crime rate and fraud since it is difficult to con someone over an open public ledger (Blockchain).
|
||||
|
||||
* Bitcoin currency is also hard to be manipulated as it is open source and the cryptographic protocol is very secure.
|
||||
|
||||
* Transactions can also be verified and approved, anywhere, anytime. This is the level of flexibility offered by this digital currency.

### How To Mine Bitcoins and The Applications to Accomplish Necessary Bitcoin Management Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
In the digital currency, BITCOIN mining and management requires additional software. There are numerous open source bitcoin management software that make it easy to make payments, receive payments, encrypt and backup of your bitcoins and also bitcoin mining software. There are sites such as; [Freebitcoin][4] where one earns free bitcoins by viewing ads, [MoonBitcoin][5] is another site that one can sign up for free and earn bitcoins. However, it is convenient if one has spare time and a sizable network of friends participating in the same. There are many sites offering bitcoin mining and one can easily sign up and start mining. One of the major secrets is referring as many people as you can to create a large network.
|
||||
|
||||
Applications required for use with bitcoins include the bitcoin wallet which allows one to safely keep bitcoins. This is just like the physical wallet using to keep hard cash but in a digital form. The wallet can be downloaded here - [Bitcoin - Wallet][6] . Other similar applications include; the [Blockchain][7] which works similar to the Bitcoin Wallet.
|
||||
|
||||
The screenshots below show the Freebitco and MoonBitco mining sites respectively.

|
||||
|
||||
There are various ways of acquiring the bitcoin currency. Some of them include the use of bitcoin mining rigs, purchasing of bitcoins in exchange markets and doing free bitcoin mining online. Purchasing of bitcoins can be done at; [MtGox][10] , [bitNZ][11] , [Bitstamp][12] , [BTC-E][13] , [VertEx][14] , etc.. Several mining open source applications are available online. These applications include; Bitminter, [5OMiner][15] , [BFG Miner][16] among others. These applications make use of some graphics card and processor features to generate bitcoins. The efficiency of mining bitcoins on a pc largely depends on the type of graphics card and the processor of the mining rig. Besides, there are many secure online storages for backing up bitcoins. These sites provide bitcoin storage services free of charge. Examples of bitcoin managing sites include; [xapo][17] , [BlockChain][18] etc. signing up on these sites require a valid email and phone number for verification. Xapo offers additional security through the phone application by requesting for verification whenever a new sign in is made.
|
||||
|
||||
### Disadvantages Of Bitcoins
|
||||
|
||||
The numerous advantages ripped from using bitcoins digital currency cannot be overlooked. However, as it is still in its infancy stage, the bitcoin currency meets several points of resistance. For instance, the majority of individual are not fully aware of the bitcoin digital currency and how it works. The lack of awareness can be mitigated through education and creation of awareness. Bitcoin users also face volatility as the demand for bitcoins is higher than the available amount of coins. However, given more time, volatility will be lowered as when many people will start using bitcoins.
|
||||
|
||||
### Improvements Can be Made
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the infancy of the [bitcoin technology][19] , there is still room for changes to make it more secure and reliable. Given more time, the bitcoin currency will be developed enough to provide flexibility as a common currency. For the bitcoin to succeed, many people need to be made aware of it besides being given information on how it works and its benefits.

比特币是什么？
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**[比特币][1]** 是一种数字货币或者说是电子现金，依靠点对点技术来完成交易。 由于使用点对点技术作为主要网络，比特币提供了一个类似于管理型经济的社区。 这就是说，比特币消除了货币管理的集中式管理方式，促进了货币的社区管理。 大部分比特币数字现金的挖掘和管理软件也是开源的。
|
||||
|
||||
第一个比特币软件是由Satoshi Nakamoto开发的，基于开源的密码协议。 比特币最小单位被称为Satoshi，它基本上是单比特币（0.00000001 BTC）的百万分之一。
|
||||
|
||||
人们不能低估BITCOINS在数字经济中消除的界限。 例如，BITCOIN消除了由中央机构对货币进行的管理控制，并向整个社区提供控制和管理。 此外，BITCOIN基于开放源代码密码协议的事实使其成为一个开放的领域，其中存在价值波动，通货紧缩和通货膨胀等严格的活动。 当许多互联网用户正在意识到他们在网上完成交易的隐私性时，但是比特币正在变得比以往更受欢迎。 但是，对于那些了解暗网及其工作原理的人们，可以确认有些人早就开始使用它了。
|
||||
|
||||
不利的一面是，比特币在匿名支付方面也非常安全，可能会对安全或个人健康构成威胁。 例如，暗网市场是进口药物甚至武器的主要供应商和零售商。 在暗网中使用BITCOINs有助于这种犯罪活动。 尽管如此，如果使用得当，比特币有许多的好处，可以消除一些由于集中的货币代理管理导致的经济上的谬误。 另外，比特币允许在世界任何地方交换现金。 比特币的使用也可以减少假冒，印刷或贬值。 同时，依托对等网络作为骨干网络，促进交易记录的分布式权限，交易会更加安全。
|
||||
|
||||
比特币的其他优点包括：
|
||||
|
||||
- 在网上商业世界里，比特币促进资金安全和完全控制。这是因为买家受到保护，以免商家可能想要为较低成本的服务额外收取钱财。买家也可以选择在交易后不分享个人信息。此外，由于隐藏了个人信息，也就保护了身份不被盗窃。
|
||||
- 对于主要的共同货币灾难，比如如丢失，冻结或损坏，比特币是一种替代品。但是，始终都建议对比特币进行备份并使用密码加密。
|
||||
- 使用比特币进行网上购物和付款时，收取的费用少或者不收取。这就提高了使用时的可承受性。
|
||||
- 与其他电子货币不同，商家也面临较少的欺诈风险，因为比特币交易是无法逆转的。即使在高犯罪率和高欺诈的时刻，比特币也是有用的，因为在公开的公共总账（区块链）上难以对付某个人。
|
||||
- 比特币货币也很难被操纵，因为它是开源的，密码协议是非常安全的。
|
||||
- 交易也可以随时随地进行验证和批准。这是数字货币提供的灵活性水准。

### 如何挖掘比特币和完成必要的比特币管理任务的应用程序
|
||||
|
||||
在数字货币中，BITCOIN挖矿和管理需要额外的软件。有许多开源的比特币管理软件，便于进行支付，接收付款，加密和备份比特币，还有很多的比特币挖掘软件。有些网站，比如：通过查看广告赚取免费比特币的[Freebitcoin][4]，MoonBitcoin是另一个可以免费注册并获得比特币的网站。但是，如果有空闲时间和相当多的人脉圈参与，会很方便。有很多提供比特币挖矿的网站，可以轻松注册然后开始挖矿。其中一个主要秘诀就是尽可能引入更多的人构建成一个大型的网络。
|
||||
|
||||
与比特币一起使用时需要的应用程序包括比特币钱包，使得人们可以安全的持有比特币。这就像使用实物钱包来保存硬通货币一样，而这里是以数字形式存在d的。钱包可以在这里下载 - [比特币-钱包][6]。其他类似的应用包括：与比特币钱包类似的[区块链][7]。
|
||||
|
||||
下面的屏幕截图分别显示了Freebitco和MoonBitco这两个挖矿网站。
|
||||
|
||||
[][8]
|
||||
[][9]
|
||||
|
||||
获得比特币的方式多种多样。其中一些包括比特币挖矿机的使用，比特币在交易市场的购买以及免费的比特币在线采矿。比特币可以在[MtGox][10]，[bitNZ][11]，[Bitstamp][12]，[BTC-E][13]，[VertEx][14]等等这些网站买到，这些网站都提供了开源开源应用程序。这些应用包括：Bitminter，[5OMiner][15]，[BFG Miner][16]等等。这些应用程序使用一些图形卡和处理器功能来生成比特币。在个人电脑上开采比特币的效率在很大程度上取决于显卡的类型和采矿设备的处理器。此外，还有很多安全的在线存储用于备份比特币。这些网站免费提供比特币存储服务。比特币管理网站的例子包括：[xapo][17] , [BlockChain][18] 等。在这些网站上注册需要有效的电子邮件和电话号码进行验证。 Xapo通过电话应用程序提供额外的安全性，无论何时进行新的登录都需要做请求验证。
|
||||
|
||||
### 比特币的缺点
|
||||
|
||||
使用比特币数字货币所带来的众多优势不容忽视。 但是，由于比特币还处于起步阶段，因此遇到了几个阻力点。 例如，大多数人没有完全意识到比特币数字货币及其工作方式。 缺乏意识可以通过教育和意识的创造来缓解。 比特币用户也面临波动，因为比特币的需求量高于可用的货币数量。 但是，考虑到更长的时间，很多人开始使用比特币的时候，波动性会降低。
|
||||
|
||||
### 改进点
|
||||
|
||||
基于[比特币技术][19]的起步，仍然有变化的余地使其更安全更可靠。 考虑到更长的时间，比特币货币将会发展到足以提供作为普通货币的灵活性。 为了让比特币成功，除了给出有关比特币如何工作及其好处的信息之外，还需要更多人了解比特币。
