Abstract

原文作者:中本聪(Satoshi Nakamoto) 翻译:Bitcoinblogger.com 独家赞助 作者邮箱:Satoshin@gmx.com www.bitcoin.org [摘要]:本文提出了一种完全通过点对点技术实现的电子现金系统,它使得在线支付 能够直接由一方发起并支付给另外一方,中间不需要通过任何的金融机构。虽然数 字签名(Digital signatures)部分解决了这个问题,但是如果仍然需要第三方的支持 才能防止双重支付(double-spending)的话,那么这种系统也就失去了存在的价值。 我们(we)在此提出一种解决方案,使现金系统在点对点的环境下运行,并防止双重支 付问题。该网络通过随机散列(hashing)对全部交易加上时间戳(timestamps), 将它们合并入一个不断延伸的基于随机散列的工作量证明(proof-of-work)的链条作 为交易记录,除非重新完成全部的工作量证明,形成的交易记录将不可更改。最长 的链条不仅将作为被观察到的事件序列(sequence)的证明,而且被看做是来自 CPU 计算能力最大的池(pool)。只要大多数的 CPU 计算能力都没有打算合作起来对全 网进行攻击,那么诚实的节点将会生成最长的、超过攻击者的链条。这个系统本身 需要的基础设施非常少。信息尽最大努力在全网传播即可,节点(nodes)可以随时离 开和重新加入网络,并将最长的工作量证明链条作为在该节点离线期间发生的交易 的证明。

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
