Episode 56: "Ghost Node War"
At midnight, the LIDP global mainnet suddenly failed to synchronize.
Su Tingting frowned: "Main node response timeout, delay exceeds 30 seconds..."
Wang Hao gritted his teeth: "The quantum tracker has started working."
Chu Yunting raised his glass in the platform alliance club:
"We don’t need to block them, we just need to make sure no one can connect."
On the data chart in his hand, LIDP node maps were being marked, located, and extinguished one by one with red circles.
Lin Feng immediately announced:
"Activate Plan G: Ghost Node!"
▪ What is a Ghost Node?
No fixed IP;
Only connects briefly when the user is active;
All consensus verification is temporarily completed in an end-to-end manner;
After verification, it immediately self-destructs the cache and cuts off the entire chain record;
Each connection is based on the individual rather than the device or address.
Users received an update notification:
"You are the node."
A prompt written personally by Su Tingting went live:
"If you use it, you survive; if you disappear, it resets to zero."
A saying circulated on the internet:
"Every time you breathe, it lives once."
Three days later, Chu Yunting was dumbfounded:
The quantum tracker monitoring chart was completely blank—
LIDP had become completely invisible.
Wang Hao mocked on the public screen: "You want to catch the wind? The wind has grown wings now."
At this moment, Lin Feng received an encrypted email.
Sender code name: GENE-057.
The email contained only one line of text, followed by a PGP encrypted compressed file:
"LIDP is not the legacy I left for you, it is merely a continuation of my regrets."
—Lin Jianguo
After decompressing, there was a recording.
Lin Jianguo's weary voice:
"I made a decision... I gave up Satoshi Nakamoto; that year, I could have been another chain of consensus. But I did not have the courage to let my son be born in an anonymous country."
"If you are listening to this, it means you have more courage than I do."
At the end of the video, Lin Jianguo found a piece of paper in his old office:
Draft Title: "Draft for On-chain National Identity"
Date signed—January 4, 2009. That day was the day the Bitcoin genesis block was mined.
Lin Feng sat quietly in the light and shadow of the data nodes, murmuring:
"I finally know who you are, Dad."
