What is P2P network Applications?

 1) File sharing: File sharing is the process of providing the files and giving access for the users to download over the internet. File sharing makes use of the Peer-to-peer network model, where the personal computers of the users are regarded as the peers in the network. Peer-to-peer file sharing differs from file trading in that downloading files from a peer-to-peer network does not require uploading.

2) Bioinformatics: Peer-to-peer networks have also started to grab attention from various scientists, especially those working with large datasets such as bioinformatics. Peer-to-peer networks can be used to run large programs that handle large amounts of data. For example, tests to identify drug candidates. This is possible since peer-to-peer networks scale well.

3) Artificial intelligence: Swarm intelligence (SI) is an artificial intelligence technique based around the study of collective behavior in decentralized, self-organized systems. A peer-to-peer network can be used to build the swarm intelligence where each peer in the network refers to a single agent.

4) Grid computing: Grid computing is a rising computer model that gives the ability to perform high throughput computing. Usually through the Internet to solve large-scale computation problems, Grids use the resources of many separate computers (peers) connected by a network. Grids provide the ability to perform computations on large data sets, by breaking them down into many smaller ones.

Limited Concurrent Transactions

  The Bitcoin block system requires connection and confirmation from the peer-to-peer network to be verified. Because each block contains a limited record of transactions and an upper limit to the number of new transactions that can be written, there’s a limit to how many people can buy and sell with the system at any given time. As more and more vendors and individuals use Bitcoin to do business, the number of transactions per second increases, and the peer-to-peer network is becoming congested, with some operations without transaction fees taking hours to clear. Whereas conventional payment systems like credit cards can simply expand their connections and processing power to speed up processing, the isolated peer-to-peer nature of bitcoin doesn’t allow it to scale with the global financial system. Black Market Appeal A central principle to the design of the Bitcoin system is that there is no single transactional processing authority. As a result, no single user can be locked out o

Bitcoin Mining Has Diminishing Returns

  A few years ago when the Bitcoin system was new, individual users “mined” for new Bitcoins at a rapid pace. Bitcoin mining software used local processors, and even extra processors like a computer’s graphics card, to calculate hashes for the next block in the blockchain. While the number of people using and “mining” Bitcoin was low, each user doing the mining would randomly confirm the next block at a higher pace, generating new Bitcoins for his or her account quickly. But this boom in generation couldn’t last. The Bitcoin system is designed to make each new block more difficult to find than the last one, reducing the number of randomized Bitcoins that are generated and distributed. That means that as time goes on, each individual mining for them has to work harder and harder (in a figurative sense—it’s the computer that’s working harder and using more electricity, and thus, costing more conventional money). As the number of individual Bitcoins grows, the amount of Bitcoins rewarde
