To the question of the typicality of blockchain technologies in engineering

Abstract

The work systematizes the basic terms that make it possible for the user to become acquainted with the distinguishing features of blockchain technology. The main quality of the blockchain system has been shown; the quality giving the right for its participants to provide the required level of the trust in the system and the trust in each of its incognitive participants. The features of generating access keys to the system by the participants, the addresses of the software products for generating public AEPuKey and private AEPrKey keys havebeen presented. A simplified algorithm for working in the blockchain for a typical user has been proposed, including the procedure for conducting transactions and their material content, the rules for recording information concerning a new, unprocessed transaction, the procedure and rules for processing protocols in the system, checking and signing with an individual key by all the participants for its possibilities, resource availability at the disposal of the author of the transaction. The procedures of carrying out mining of the formed registries and their hash coding have been shown as well as a converter with a hidden algorithm for generating random bit series and the way of using it in the first approximation. A clear and simplified model of the mining operation has been proposed, which gives a general idea to the user as to this type of work within the blockchain technology. The examples when the system crashes at the stage of legalizing the next protocol, the actions of the system and each of the participants in bringing the system to a new trust state have been given. The violation and recognition of the integrity of the peer-to-peer network and the actions to eliminate them have been presented. Such information may be useful to those users who are just mastering the blockchain technology in a company, in business. The methodological material cannot be useful in the existing technologies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum for example, etc. due to their deep and complex professional mining, which can not be provided with private computer capacities and require a more professional approach and more professional equipment. The methodology is aimed at popularizing blockchain technologies for micro, small and medium-sized businesses, in decentralized management systems at its most diverse levels, in the form of a simple, reliable, safe from hacking software product that makes it possible for a large number of consumers to efficiently create local technologies such as a distributed registry to solve a wide variety of decentralization tasks
