Title: Block chain simulation
Post by: alidorri on March 30, 2016, 03:00:42 AM
Hi all

As you know, block chain is very popular research topic nowadays. not only for bitcoin but also for all sort of networks including IoT and cloud.
Now, the most important question is that how can we simulate and modify block chain for other networks? can we use Simbit or other related simulators to do that? or we have to write a different simulator?
for instance, how can we simulate block chain for cloud storage or cloud service?   


I am looking forward to hear your ideas.

You can make your own blockchain. Either create an altcoin or use Bitcoin's regression test mode. This mode creates a private bitcoin network and blockchain which you can use to test and experiment with.

thanks

By my point is how to simulate it? designing a particular block chain may be possible but how to test it? just imagine you want to store some files in cloud and use block chain to do that, now, how can we implement such a network?

That's up to you to decide. You figure out what you want done and then implement your idea and test it. There is no simulation here, it is just do and test and see if it works. The Testing occurs on your private blockchain so as to not spam one that people actually use.

Here you can find a simulation program created for research purpose, it's based only on PoS but maybe you can improve it and add other consensus algorithms:

it is the new concept of black chain simulation.We want more details about this information.

Try this: https://backchannel.com/you-too-can-get-married-on-the-blockchain-27cf39ab7f95#.76vkttan1

You can also see the bitnation website (https://bitnation.co/)

I see the chinese version, I think it same^^ ;D

Now we have Proof-of-Work(& Proof-of-Retrievability) consensus protocol module is well, the Permacoin paper implementation: https://github.com/ScorexProject/Permacoin-consensus

thanks, it seems that scorex is relevant to my research but the problem is that I installed it and now i do not know how to start or how to customise it. I cant find how to make a blockchain ( even how to work with its default version). Do anyone has idea?
