[200907] Weekly Progress: Blockchain

        阅读了《图说区块链》，以通俗易懂的方式讲述了区块链的基本知识，适合所有人的区块链入门图书。

        Last week, I mainly read "Illustrated Blockchain", a Chinese book published in 2017. This is an introductory book that tells the knowledge of Blockchain in easy-to-understand language and comic pictures. This book mainly tells from four aspects: origin, principle, character events, and application.

        1. Understand the origin, characteristics, and relationship of the Blockchain with Bitcoin, and why it can be called the "fourth industrial revolution", the importance and unlimited possibilities of the Blockchain, and its development prospects in other fields.

        2. Master the important basic concepts in the Blockchain field, such as hash algorithms, public and private keys, Merkle tree structure, etc.

        3. Understand the 6-layer basic model architecture of the Blockchain and the core functions of each layer.

        4. Understand the classic problems in the Blockchain, such as bifurcation problems, double spending problems, and consensus problems.

        5. By introducing the two-army problem and the Byzantine generals problem, I learned about the consensus mechanism and its importance and learned about the three most common consensus mechanisms of PoW, PoS, and DPoS.
