Roast Boy Observation | FC(1): The brightest star in the consensus galaxy
In the winter of 1992, UC Berkeley mathematician Eric Hughes, Intel engineer Tim May, and computer scientist John Gilmore invited more than 20 of their closest friends to an informal meeting to discuss some complex programming and encryption problems.
In 1993, California, with the last line of code typed, the crypto anonymous mailing list was born. 1,400 geeks gathered in an unsupervised place to communicate and write anonymously together, and the cypherpunk community was born.
Many people in the cypherpunk group had a pivotal influence in the subsequent wave of the Internet:
The progress bar dragged on to October 31, 2008, when a person named "Satoshi Nakamoto" published a paper entitled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System", describingHow to create a decentralized electronic trading system, and this system does not need to be built on the basis of mutual trust between the two parties in the transaction.It depicts a monetary system that belongs to the new world.
On January 3, 2009, the Bitcoin genesis block was generated, which read "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks., was the headline on the front page of The Times that day. The Bitcoin network was officially born.
This caused a sensation in the geek circle. The avant-garde views of decentralization, non-tampering, openness and transparency have greatly subverted the original currency concept. Geeks participated in mining, transferred money to each other, and discussed the Bitcoin system. They had a lot of fun and formed an early technical community.
Perhaps in the eyes of geeks at the time, Bitcoin was more likeA Novel, Stylish Electronic Money Toy, Buying two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins is just a game between a few geeks, a secret and fun shared by a small group.
In the geek community, code is a natural bond of consensus. But the code is just a riddle belonging to this group after all, and all discoveries that change the world start from going to the world.
How to let the obscure logic into people's daily life?
How to find powerful and high-frequency application scenarios for emerging technologies?
How to let more people appear in the community, find their own position, discover their potential, demonstrate their abilities, and gain corresponding rewards and respect for the common ideal consensus?
Letting the nascent community survive, develop, and grow has become a new topic for geeks.
People are always attracted by what they care about and are interested in, whether it is their own mission, or the values they believe in, or even art, culture and sense of humor.
The same interests are brought together, entangled, shared, and absorbed, and a common emotion is derived. This complex group consciousness is called "consensus." And a community is based on this.
Writers, artists, workers, managers, opinion leaders... Our society is always driven by these talented people who are willing to share.
This group is the most quintessential part of the community and the most solid force.
Von Neumann once said: The long-term survival of humanity depends on whether we can come up with better ways to facilitate more cooperation than already exists.
Consensus leads to collaboration among community members.In the Conflux community, there is of course our consensus - FC, Fans Coin.
As a token led by the Conflux Foundation and jointly developed by community members based on the Conflux network, FC, with a total of only 21 million pieces (a tribute to Bitcoin), has recorded the contribution of every community member since its birth.
The initial FC distribution is through the Bounty bounty task platform. No matter who you are, you only need to register a Bounty account to become a "bounty hunter", undertake tasks in the fields of technology, brand, community, resources, etc., and receive rewards on the bounty task platform.
Any effective contribution to the community and the Conflux network will be respected by the entire community and rewarded accordingly.At the same time, the issuance of each FC will also be notified to all community members through multiple channels to ensure that the entire process and results are open, fair, and fair.
The foundation hopes to fully mobilize the power of the community. While conducting comprehensive experience tests on Conflux products, it will gather community consensus in the form of token governance, and promises that after the network goes online, FC and CFX can make 1:1 acceptance.
This exchange is a one-way exchange.Therefore, in the original plan, after completing the task of community contribution statistics and consolidating the initial consensus, FC will gradually fade out until it exits the stage of history.
However, the performance of FC exceeded people's expectations, and the holders cherished the FC in their hands very much. In order to keep the FC in hand, under the guidance of DAO spirit,They launched a vote in the community, and with 100% approval of the unanimous vote, they endowed the status and role of the FC community governance token.
Collect economic deflation models for FC, develop games that use FC as a pledge token, and actively connect FC and other token exchange scenarios...It can be said that FC can have the same governance authority as CFX, thanks to community members。
As a governance token with governance authority, the value of FC depends not only on the price it captures in the market, but also on the value of governance. Once an extreme game situation occurs, the group of people who own FC will be the last bastion to protect the Conflux network. Because this group of holders is the group of people who first gathered around the dim light, the group of people who hugged each other to keep warm and survived the cold long night, and the group of people who saw the future first.
Beautiful flowers need to be cared for, and shining stars are waiting to be discovered.
History will not stop for people's calls, but we will record those lovely things that a group of lovely people have done for FC.
If you are also interested in the story of FC and this group of people, then continue to pay attention to the series of "Baking Observation", there is always one that suits you.
