Bitcoin is starting to come into its own as a digital currency, but the blockchain technology behind it could prove to be much more significant. This book takes you beyond the currency ("Blockchain 1.0") and smart contracts ("Blockchain 2.0") to demonstrate how the blockchain is in position to become the fifth disruptive computing paradigm after mainframes, PCs, the Internet, and mobile/social networking.
Author Melanie Swan, Founder of the Institute for Blockchain Studies, explains that the blockchain is essentially a public ledger with potential as a worldwide, decentralized record for the registration, inventory, and transfer of all assets—not just finances, but property and intangible assets such as votes, software, health data, and ideas.
Topics include:
* Concepts, features, and functionality of Bitcoin and the blockchain
* Using the blockchain for automated tracking of all digital endeavors
* Enabling censorship?resistant organizational models
* Creating a decentralized digital repository to verify identity
* Possibility of cheaper, more efficient services traditionally provided by nations
* Blockchain for science: making better use of the data-mining network
* Personal health record storage, including access to one’s own genomic data
* Open access academic publishing on the blockchain
This book is part of an ongoing O’Reilly series. Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Crypto-Currencies introduces Bitcoin and describes the technology behind Bitcoin and the blockchain. Blockchain: Blueprint for a New Economy considers theoretical, philosophical, and societal impact of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.

區塊鏈這個詞高級嗎?高級。我在等我的星冰樂的時候經常聽到穿西裝打領帶的商務精英們聊區塊鏈,一個個群情激昂,仿佛金融界諸葛亮運籌帷幄於星巴剋之中。那這個詞看得懂嗎?看不懂。當時我隻關注我的星冰樂,排著隊拿著愛的號碼牌,一句話也沒聽進去,現在悔不當初。我發瞭一...

被稱為Blockchain的一半必讀書,也是我較為深入一點去瞭解Blockchain的一次。裏麵提到很多已經在進行這個去中央模式所産生的不同的落地應用,除瞭Bitcoin外,已經有不少已經認可真實用例。很久沒有看過一本有關新技術介紹的書會給人這麼近同時影響會産生極巨大影響的感覺,上次已經是90年代初接觸互聯網的時候,那種興奮及未來不可預測的改變的沉重感,去中心化的體係,未來一旦成為廣泛事實,改變的已經不是其他新技術帶來體驗、速度、商業模式革命、資源或信息交換的更新這個層次的變革,而是社會組織方式的革命,政府、企業、甚至是人與人基本交互的改變,這種改變等於今天互聯網帶給我們的日子對比與PC時代,感覺是預示很快一個新的時代快要降臨。
評分讀下來並沒有想象中的那麼好,安全性的說明還不如直接去讀hac,不過內容略有廣度,適閤入門掃盲

評分入門概念,理論框架有點意思瞭,未來主義多,還不夠深入。或許還的等演變更確定瞭。
評分如何在促進效率的同時最大限度降低匿名話潛在的負麵影響?
