tags: Move,Starcoin Web3 StarTrek Bedrock – Object-capability model In my words, Move is kind of a Resource-Oriented Programming language. The resource is represented by struct in Move, aka object in other programming language. By the way, the resource in Move is the struct which cannot be copied and cannot be dropped1. Distinct from other programming language, objects are stored in memory, resource in Move can store to the chain’s global storage. ...

As a wallet has been embedded in the starcoin node, we can use it to create an account as follow: $ ./target/debug/starcoin -d ~/.starcoin -n dev account create -p my-pass { "ok": { "address": "0x2f1aeb63bd30d8eb841d6a941c5d6df3", "is_default": false, "is_readonly": false, "public_key": "0x91f79bdd9ced49332bf85b751d02339e05aff047c386d0c14b380d8519d2fb4b", "receipt_identifier": "stc1p9udwkcaaxrvwhpqad22pchtd7vy2276p" } } As above we can see our account has been created, and the address is: 0x2f1aeb63bd30d8eb841d6a941c5d6df3.

The corresponding type VMStatus is defined out of starcoin’s reposiotry, here. The work need to be done seems are: convert function from u16 to a readable string. convert status_code from StatusCode to a readable string. Let’s take a look at StatusCode first, StatusCode is a enum that contains lot of variants, WOW! My intuition is that can we just get the name of the variant by it’s value. Or I’ll write an ugly match that contains tons of arms. Maybe there already existed some similar code, Let me do a search. ...

Most implementations of them are binary, which means two child nodes under each node. Why the merkle tree is important to the peer-to-peer network? The main purpose of a merkle tree is to ensure the data we received from a peer-to-peer network are undamaged and unaltered, it’s important as the data were splitted into many blocks and stored in multiple nodes in the network. ...
