与块(Blocks)
接下来讲的是什么是,以及在P2P网络上的存放,其实这个过程也是挖矿的过程。
所有的是以Block的形式在Bitcoin P2P网络上存放的。每一个Block包含了最近所有的有效。Block中最为重要数据为:
最近交易单集合
Nonce随机数
前一个块的散列值
在造币的Node总在侦听网络,接收信息,然后各自将接收到的新交易打包到一个新block(CBlock Class in main.h)。在块交易单集合中的第一个交易单总是“造币单”:给创建该块的人以新的货币,节点只需要校验货币金额是否合法即可:形成一个合法的新块得到的回报是初始金额为50BTC,每产生210,000块的时候这个金额减半(大约每隔4年会发生一次)。产生合法的新块是不容易的,需要通过无数次的计算尝试得到,另外如果大家都在计算同一个新块,那么还存在竞争关系,这个时候只有最困难(Difficulty)的那个块(指整个块链的值加起来最大的)才会被网络认可。另外如果块中的某笔交易size大于该块中交易单的平均size,那么该笔交易单会被收取一笔小的交易费用。
块的数据结构
块的数据结构可以分为块头(block header)和块体(block body)
块头(Block Header)
块头的数据是用于校验块、产生块ID(256位散列值),这个块ID也是决定块是否合法的数字。计算块ID的公式如下:
BlockID = SHA256(SHA256(Block_Header))
块头(Block Header)的内容如下:
ver: 版本号(4字节)
prev_block: 前一个块的256位散列值
mrkl_root: 所有交易单的256位散列
time: 时间戳(4字节)
Bits: 一个紧凑格式的4字节的数字,它表示一个256位的当前目标(Target)数值,这也表示(Difficulty),最后产生块的ID值必须不大于目标值才能被接受(如果有多人同时产生同一个块,那么最困难的将被接受)。这个数值会每隔2016个block(网络大约每小时创建6个块,创建2016块大约2周)调整一次,当产生前一个2016块的时间大于2周的时候,难度值将会被调低,当小于两周的时候难度值将被调高(关于Target和Difficulty详见后述)。
nonce: 32位随机数。节点在产生Block的时候,会增量尝试改变nonce的值,直到产生的块的散列值符合bits的要求
计算目标(Target)和(Difficulty)
计算目标(Target)
计算目标(Target)是一个256位的数值,块的散列值ID必须小于或等于该目标数值,放可被接受。块头中的BITS是一个用紧凑的4字节格式表示的目标(Target)数值,它表示一个256位的当前目标数值,方式如下:
//假设BITS为:
BITS = 0x1B0406CC
//那么target的数值则是:
Target = 0x0406CC * 2^(8*(0x1B-3))= 0x00000000000406CC000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
当前网络的目标值为:Current target。
困难度(Difficulty)
困难度(Difficulty)表示该块ID的计算难度,值越大表示越困难,1表示最容易。
1困难度(Difficulty)的Target被定义为:
0x1D00FFFF(BITS)
展开后:
0x00FFFF * 2^(8*(0x1D - 3)) = 0x00000000FFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
因此困难度的计算公式为:1 困难度(Target) / 当前目标
我们可以在这里查看当前网络的困难度:Current difficulty(BitCoin的 getDifficulty 接口输出)。也可以通过这个网站查看困难度值的变化情况图:Graphs。
块体(Block Body)
Block Body 实际上就是交易单的集合。
你可以在这个网站上看到当前网络所有的交易单(Blocks):
