61  Local / 中文 (Chinese) / Finmail - 整合电子邮件与比特币的应用 on: May 12, 2019, 05:21:54 AM
长期以来,电子邮件以其时效性、安全性与跨平台性在信息互联网中广泛使用,已成为互联网基础服务之一。与此同时,以比特币等数字货币为代表的价值网络的兴起,使跨平台全网汇款成为可能。尽管电子邮件与数字货币具有天然相似性,例如匿名、低延迟、无障碍跨平台传输、发送后不可撤回等特点,但目前并没有两者结合的服务。我们通过电子邮件与数字货币的结合,首次使信息与价值的同步跨平台传输成为可能,进而有助于现在信息网络与新兴价值网络的融合与发展。

从历史角度看,邮政与汇款有着天然结合点,两者的区别仅在于传递物是信息还是价值。早期人们以邮政票汇为主要汇款途径。随着银行业的发展,汇款逐渐转向电报方式,其典型代表为SWIFT,至今仍广泛用于跨国汇款。此后邮局与银行业逐渐整合,出现邮政银行等机构。

随着通信方式的进一步发展,汇款路径逐渐转向电信与互联网,其典型代表为电话银行与网上银行。受限于传统的纸质账号形式,银行的互联网化并不彻底,汇款时人们仍需采用复杂的账号、收款人与清算号等,其区别仅为将手写形式转为电子形式。银行卡的出现使支付汇款的过程简捷且迅速,但基于银行账号的特性使其仍介于纸质与网络形式之间,并非彻底的互联网形式。

由于信息互联网先行出现,相关产业发展至今仍以信息为主,从而造成信息与价值传输的分离。作为完全由互联网承载的信息传输方式,电子邮件可彻底脱离实物进行全网传输,而当前流行的最接近互联网形式的第三方支付却仍需依托银行卡等基于传统纸质账号的银行系统。换言之,第三方支付仅仅将价值作了信息化表达,而非真正意义上的网络存储和价值传输,由此造成信息与价值传输能力的脱节。

就产业而言,在信息网络上,继电子邮件之后,电子商务、在线支付、即时通讯和云计算等业务迅猛发展,使社会绝大部分实体资源实现了虚拟化和信息化表达,继而使大数据成为业务中枢。但在价值网络上,目前仍依靠银行体系完成低效的区域性扶持,难以获得类似信息网络的即时性与全网辐射性。换个角度,尽管在信息网络上可以实现“互联网思维”,但在价值网络上目前仍只有“实物思维”。作为不同维度的事物,网络的效率与带来的活力远大于后者,就如同飞机与汽车的区别:借助三维世界中的高度所实现的远距离飞行传输能力远高于只在地面、或者说只在二维世界中运行的汽车的传输能力。

如果说信息网络相当于人的神经系统,那么大数据与云计算等则类似人的大脑,其重要性毋庸置疑。与此同时,网络层面上的血液系统却仍“储存”于实体形式的银行,使作为整体的网络生态难以平衡发展。换言之,一个高度发达的神经系统却需依赖疲弱的血液系统提供养份,很难想象这样的系统能正常运行。

比特币等数字货币的出现,使基于网络的“血液循环系统”成为可能。作为价值网络的基石,数字货币与电子邮件有着相似特性,主要不同在于所传输的是价值,还是信息。在这个意义上,数字货币与电子邮件相当于邮政汇款的网络版,且前者完全不依赖于后者。数字货币将银行的纸质系统提升为网络系统,并将第三方支付系统的单通道或少量通道提升为大量互备的汇款通道,类似于将直线升维成平面。相较电子邮件的发展,可以期待类似的数字货币发展路径。

作为数字货币底层的区块链技术,尽管其不可篡改等特性适用于多个领域,例如法律确权与来源追溯等,但其核心价值仍在于数字货币。确权等用途,就根本上来说属于信息网络范畴,在此基础上的区块链技术仍属于数据库技术的分支。换言之,即使不用区块链,仍可通过其它方式实现类似效果,即区块链并无太大技术或成本优势。但在数字货币领域,区块链的用途属于构造全新的价值网络,具有其它技术无法比拟的效果,其意义远超数据库技术。在此基础上,大部分数字货币的总量限制,并非因某种经济政策,而仅仅为使其稀有而产生价值。

因此我们尝试在信息网络与价值网络的整合上迈出第一小步,即FINMAIL Outlook汇款插件。相信随着技术的发展与监管的成熟,相关应用会为社会与商业带来日益明显的价值,并成为更多领域探索的基石。

本应用所涉技术已申请相关专利。

----------------------------------------------Stop here if you are tired, or read the details below-------------------------------------------


For a long time, e-mail has been widely used in information network thanks to its efficiency, security and cross-platform capability, and has become one of the fundamental network services. Meanwhile, the emerging of value network represented by bitcoin and other digital currencies has made it possible to remit currencies across platforms within the whole network. Although e-mail and digital currency share natural similarities, such as anonymity, low latency, barrier-free cross-platform transmission and, irretrievability after sending, there are still no services that integrate them. This product, through the combination of e-mail and digital currency, enables simultaneous cross-platform transmission capability of both information and value for the first time, which facilitates the integration and development of today’s information network and emerging value network.

​From a historical perspective, postal and remittances have a natural connection point, and the main difference between them is whether they are transmitting information or value. In early days, people used postal remittances as the main means of remittance. With the development of banking industry, remittances gradually turns into telegraph, whose typical application is SWIFT, which is still widely used for cross-border remittances. Later on, post industry gradually integrated with banking industry, which resulted in postal bank and other institutions.

​With further development of communication methods, the remittance carrier gradually turned into telecommunications and Internet, whose typical representatives are telephone banking and online banking. Due to the limitation of traditional paper account, the “Internatelization” of bank is not thorough. People still need to use complex account numbers, payees and clearing numbers when making remittance, while the main improvement is that the handwritten form is converted into electronic form. The emergence of bank cards makes the payment process simple and fast, however as it is still based on bank account, such approach is still an intermediate form between paper and network, not totally for Internet.

​As information network appeared first, the development of related industries is still dominated by information, which results in the separation of information and value transmission. As a means of information transmission entirely carried by Internet, e-mail can be transmitted in the entire network completely independent from the physical entity, while third-party payment method, which is popular today and the closest form to Internet, still needs to rely on bank system, i.e. bank card based on traditional paper account. In other words, third-party payment only expresses the value in form of information, rather than storing and transmit value in network, which results in the disconnection of information and value transmission capabilities.

​To industries, on the information network, after the emergence of e-mail, there have been e-commerce, online payment, instant messaging and cloud computing, etc.. These business models have been developed rapidly and, virtualized and digitalized most of social resources, thereafter the Big Data becomes the backbone of business. However, in value network, industries still rely on banking system to perform inefficient regional support and, it is difficult to obtain time efficiency and radiation capability within the whole network just like information network. In another word, although “internet thinking” has been realized on information network, there is still “physical thinking” on value network. As a matter of different dimensions, the efficiency and vitality of network are much greater than the latter, just like the difference between an airplane and a car: the long-distance transmission capability of flight realized by “height” in the three-dimensional world is much higher than that of a car, which is only on the ground, or say in a two-dimensional world.

​If we say information network is equivalent to human nervous system, then big data and cloud computing are similar to human brain and, their importance is beyond doubt. At the same time, the blood circulation system at the network level is still “stored” in bank in physical form, making it difficult to balance the development of the network ecosystem as a whole. In other words, to a highly developed nervous system which relies on a weak blood system to provide nutrients, it is hard to imagine that such a system can function properly.

​The emergence of digital currencies such as Bitcoin has made the network-based “blood circulation system” possible. As the cornerstone of value network, digital currency and e-mail share similar characteristics and, the main difference is whether value or information is transmitted. In this sense, digital currency and e-mail are equivalent to the online version of postal remittances, and the former one is completely independent of the latter one. Digital currency promotes the bank’s paper system to network system and, promotes a third-party payment system which contains a single channel or a small number of channels to a system that contains a large number of mutually reciprocal remittance channels, just like upgrading a straight line into a plane. A similar digital currency development path can be expected with reference to the development of e-mail.

​As the bottom layer of digital currency,  although the characteristics of blockchain technology such as non-tampering are applicable to many fields, for example legal confirmation and source traceability, its core value still lies in digital currency. The use of legal confirmation and other purposes belong to information network fundamentally. Therefore the blockchain technology for such purpose is just a branch of database technology. In other words, even without blockchain, a similar result can still be achieved by other means, that is, the blockchain technology does not have much technical or cost advantage. However, in the field of digital currency, the use of blockchain belongs to the construction of a new value network, which has the effect that other technologies cannot achieve, and its significance far exceeds database technology. On this basis, the total amount of digital currency is not limited by certain economic policies, but only to make it rare to get value.

​Therefore, we try to take the first small step into the integration of information network and value network, namely the FINMAIL Mailbox and Outlook Add-in. It is believed that with the development of technology and the maturity of regulation, related applications will bring increasing value to society and business and, become the cornerstone of more fields.

The technology involved in this application has applied for relevant patents.

Congratulation that the 2,000,000th block of SecureCoin was mined at 2019-03-20 17:39:34 UTC

See block info at https://securechain.info/en/block/0000000000268219b3207d7daddf544c1b8ebbd9bb9a65c86f3d8b91c28adf04

According to the specification, the reward will be halved every 2.1 million blocks. Therefore only around 100,000 blocks left for now.

Thank you everyone for the support.  Hope we can make the coin prosperity together.

Regards,
Securechain Team

Hi Dev, What's new with this coin?
Any updates?

    Huh

      




      
Hi, we are still working on the catch-up of Bitcoin-Core progress. Our current internal test version corresponds to Bitcoin-Core 0.9 and, we hope further progress can be made.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Dev, Thanks for responding.
After you catch up with Bitcoin-Core's progress, what's next?
When will there be a road map?
Are there plans to get added to more exchanges?
We need a lightweight wallet, the current wallet file is too big. Takes too long to download.

                 Huh

            
Hi,
    Thank you for the reply. It's a good question.
    From our perspective, to be or not to be listed on exchanges is not a target, but a nature result. Exchanges are more like shops which sell goods or services to customers. To any organization or company , the lifeline is their product quality and user satisfaction. If we focus too much on the "listing" in the early stage, we may get distracted from the core value, which in turn results in the failure of getting listed. In a similar matter, although the purpose of making investment is to make money, if we focus too much on "money" or "making money", we will in turn have very high possibility to lose what we have.
    To lightweight/mobile wallets, we prefer to postponde until the stable core wallet is released.
    The roadmap after the catch-up is open for discussion. As mentioned earlier, SIP(Securechain/SecureCoin Improvement Proposal) may be introduced afterwards.
    Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Securechain Team

Declaration about phishing sites
Recently there are some fraud-like or phishing-like websites, i.e. "http://www.securecoinexchange.net/", that use the same name of "SecureCoin", "Secure Coin" and "SRC" to mislead users. Here we clarify that, there are no relationships between any of these entities and our Securechain team/community. We will also never take such fraud-like approach for benefits.
Thank you for your support!

How about add support for atomic swaps to securechain ?
It can widely expand exchange possibilities of coin on decentralised exchanges!
Thank you for the message. Presently we are trying to catch up the progress of Bitcoin-Core and apply the updates to Securechain Wallet. When the new release is stable, we will start new features with respect to community ideas, probably named as SIP(Securechain/SecureCoin Improvement Proposal).

Hi,
    It seems Nova Exchange is somehow stable again, so probably it is fine to trade there. The current gap bettwen Ask and Bid is not so nice, but may be improved as time goes by.
    The link to SRC/BTC is here: https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_SRC/

Thanks and regards.

Any telegram room?
Hi,

Our telegram channel is "Securechain" (https://t.me/securechain).

As it is newly created, it is very small at the moment. But we will try to construct a more active community on it.

For any question or idea please feel free to contact us. Thanks a lot.

Is there anybody mining SRC or why my transaction doesnt get confirmed?
Hi rachelshineofstar,
    Sorry for the issue. SRC is still being mined but the interval for block generation may be a bit long for now, which causes the transaction to be stuked. The blockchain explorer below can be used for reference:

Can someone update Securecoin on coinmarketcap.com with announcement url to this thread and webpage. Now to get to the webpage you have to press the explorer button.

I sent a message to coinmarketcap to update the webpage, they said it can take up to 6 days from now till they update it.

I contacted them to its done now.


Great, thank you for the effort and help to the community!

Is nobody mining SRC or why my transaction doesnt get confirmed?

I'm mining it but it seems no block found for a while.. I have a transaction with 0/12 confirmations (sent 3hours ago).

Hi josephk84 and fratrad,
    Sorry for the issue. The transaction should have been confirmed so far.
    Although the hash rate of SecureCoin is not as tough as Bitcoin, it may still require ~GHz to mine a block according to current difficulty. Therefore it may take a lot of time to perform solo or single node mining. It is suggested to mine in the pool instead.
    In order to make both the coin and transaction more secure and stable, we hope more miners can join our community.
    Hope it helps. For any question please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,
Securechain Team

Hi Dev, Pls ask Kucoin Exchange to add this project to their exchange.
This needs to be at a better exchange A.S.A.P.

                    Wink
Hi THE BARTENDER,

Thank you for the message. We will contact Kucoin to see more details.

Best regards.
