Homework on High Availability - Questions

  1. Why is it important for blockchain networks to be high availability networks?
    24/7 365 network important for global systems, in particular finance, more nodes increases security

  2. What is it that enables blockchain networks to have such high availability?
    Mining…financial rewards for effort to complete transactions on the blockchain, the more difficult it gets to mine, nodes leave, others join to keep the network running and security high

  1. Because the network has to be accessable 24/7/365… so it has to keep running 24/7/365 otherwise it would not work… This is the beauty of blockchain… It has no opening or closing hours to transfer money, add data or whatever… A decentralized network with high security always accessable and usable…Mi

  2. Mining enables it. Mining ensures also the security of the network and how people make money by protecting the network…

  1. Why is it important for blockchain networks to be high availability networks?

It is important because the need to transact value never ceases. The need to transact is always present on a global scale no matter the time or place. The fact that blockchains are available 24/7/365 is an advantage over traditional financial systems such as stock markets and banking. In order to satisfy the global need to transact value, networks must be available and accessible at all times.

  1. What is it that enables blockchain networks to have such high availability?

Incentivized systems enable high availability. There are always people who want to earn money by processing network transactions. In Bitcoin, it is the proof of work consensus mechanism. In Ethereum, it is proof of stake. Both consensus mechanisms create a juicy incentive for network participants to indulge in at all times.

  1. It important for blockchain networks to be high availability networks because it allows everyone to have access 24/7/365 and the whole world operates 24/7/365. If Bitcoin was only online from 9-5 EST time in wouldn’t be usable on a worldwide scale.

  2. People being financially incentivized enables blockchain networks to have such high availability.

  1. It is important because apps, business systems, supply chain require them most of the time. If the network isn’t that highly available, it’s hard to use that when we need it.

  2. Blockchain networks have such a high availibility because the miners who power up the network are incentivized with money. At the same time they are also make the network secure. If in any case, there are less people mine in the blockchain, somehow the current miners can get more money so it attracts other people to mine also and finally they increase the security and make it high available.
