Homework on High Availability - Questions

  1. Blockchain networks are used widely for several applications including global Finance, Medical, Supply Chain…where it is important that the platform not only does not fail but that it is also available 365/24/7. The fact that the bitcoin blockchain has been the longest running network with no failures has given developers the confidence to build other apps on this network.

  2. There is a financial incentive to keep a blockchain network running. This is why when there’s any point of failure somewhere in the system that other miners will jump in to support the network. This not only ensures that the network keeps operating continuously but also yields financial rewards [blocks] to those keeping the network running a.k.a. mining blocks.

2.because is reabile,safe and open. and yet in early progress so on the network have so much space for creativity and creating.

  1. It is important for blockchain networks to always require high availability because it will allow for a constant and always-present infrastructure (a network available 24/7, 365). While keeping this in mind for various applications, (global finance, supply chain, health care) it is very important.

  2. High availability is due to the incentive provided by mining blocks. Miners are incentivized to keep the network alive by $$ :money_mouth_face: .

  1. Blockchain networks allow information of data to be transacted at any point in time.

  2. Miners and nodes (Depending on the blockchain/network) are incentivized to always be working on the network and with that incentive, it allows new workers to come into the field if others drop out.

1: Because everyone can participate / get acces to / work on the blockchain by adding value all the time. This is one of the most valued characteristics of the 24 hours economy we live in nowadays.
2. The fact that the bitcoin has never been down (offline) since the genesis about 11 years ago, due to miners keeping the network safe by mining, plays a huge role in keeping availability of the network high.

Homework on High Availability - Questions

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

Answer: Because without high availability people would not use it. It has to be available 24/7/365 to provide maximum value.

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

Answer: Because it is global, therefore providing 24/7/365 access, and mining provides the monetary incentive to keep the network/blockchain running indefinitely.

  1. A high availability network means a secure and healthy network. For example the application money (bitcoin) needs high availability to be successful.

  2. Because of decentralization and incentives the networks stays healthy and keep running even if parts of it goes offline for some reason.

  2. Mining: that is how we make money and proteckt the network

  1. Highly available networks are vital for entities which have high reliance on always-up services, such as banking, financial or medical sectors which cannot tolerate even momentary moments of down time. Blockchain provides an ideal use case for these types of environments. This capability makes for a more desirable location to provide services due to the 24/7/365 uptime.

  2. Blockchains are highly available infrastructures due to miners. Miners are provided reward for securing the network through computing blocks and participating in validating transactions on the blockchain. If any miners or parts of the network become suddenly unavailable, other miners will fill these gaps to maintain network availability.

High availability means the ledger is constantly secured, incentivized, and can be utilized globally with global time zones and hours of operation.
Mining- miners and mining pools are able to view opportune times to join the network. Game theory leads to the availability of the globe to participate.
