What is Lean Startup? Success stories
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語 and Tiếng Việt. リーンスタート（lean start）とは、起業や新規事業などの立ち上げ（スタートアップ）が効率的に成功するためのマネジメント手法を指す言葉です。新規事業の立ち上げ時は人員や資金などのリソースが限られており、事業を安定して運営できるようになるまで非常にシビアなマネジメントが必要になります。システム開発に関しても同様で、開発費用や開発方法など、スタートアップの事業形態に即した方法を考える必要があります。この記事では、オフショア企業でのラボ型開発を活用することで、スタートアップが得られる大きなメリットについて知ることができます。 1. リーンスタートとは リーンスタートとは、アメリカの起業家エリック・リース氏が2008年に提唱した、起業や新規事業などの立ち上げ（スタートアップ）のためのマネジメント手法のことです。 リーンスタートは、事業家の思い込みで顧客にとって無価値な製品やサービスを開発してしまうことに伴う、時間、労力、資源、情熱のムダをなくすための方法論であり、最低限のコストと短いサイクルで仮説の構築と検証を繰り返しながら、市場やユーザーのニーズを探り当てていくのが特徴です。 2. 有名なリーンスタート成功事例...

マークル木【Markle Tree】
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語. マークル木 とは、ファイルのような大きなデータを要約した結果を格納するツリー構造の一種です。 主に入出金記録などの大きなデータの要約と検証を行う際に使用されます。 データ要約および検証時の計算にハッシュ関数を用いているので、ハッシュ木とも呼ばれます。 マークル木は、公開鍵暗号方式の開発者ラルフ・マークルが1979年に発明しています。 原著論文はこちら マークル木 の構造 マークル木では、2つのデータを1つにまとめて1単位のデータとして取り扱います。 上の図では、トランザクション0（Tx0）のハッシュ、トランザクション1（Tx1）のハッシュをそれぞれ計算しています。 このAのハッシュ、Bのハッシュそれぞれを合わせた値のハッシュが頂点のハッシュ値となります。 データが蓄積されるにつれ、複数段のツリー構造が構成されてゆき、2段、3段と2個ずつハッシュ値がまとめられてゆきます。 最終的に得られた頂点のハッシュ値はマークルルート（トップハッシュやマスターハッシュとも）と呼ばれています。 マークル木には、どんなデータを入力しても一定長の値を返すハッシュ関数が使用されています。 そのため、どんなに多くの大きなデータを入力しても最終的に得られる値は一定のデータ長になります。 つまり、2個のデータを要約しても、175386個のデータを要約しても、最終的には同じデータ長にまとめることができるのです。 また、計算が単純なため、マークルルートの値を得るのに負荷が少なくて済みます。 ビットコインなどの仮想通貨では、この特性を応用することで要約元のデータの検証に用いています。 すなわち、予め保存しておいたマークルルート値とブロックのデータがあれば、 新たなブロックのデータから算出したマークルルートの値と、予め保存されたマークルルートの値を比較検証することが可能になっています。...

0ｘ 【DEX プロトコル】
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語. 0x (https://0xproject.com/) は異なるトークン同士を取引する分散型取引所(DEX)を構築するためのプロトコルで、イーサリアムネットワーク上に構築されています。 一般的なDEXでは、取引注文（オーダーブック）や注文キャンセルなどの全てのトランザクションをブロックチェーン上で処理します。 ブロックチェーンの承認作業には時間とコストがかかりますから、取引時にかかる時間と手数料が多くなってしまいます。 更に、イーサリアムネットワーク全体にも負荷がかかり、DEX以外でのトランザクションを阻害する可能性があります。 0xでは、互いにトークンの取引を行う処理だけをブロックチェーン上で行い、それ以外の取引注文などはオフチェーンで行うようにすることで効率的な取引と低い手数料を可能にします。 0xの仕組み このように0x プロトコル上では、取引の決済のみがイーサリアムブロックチェーン上で行われ、それ以外の取引の注文などはオフチェーンで処理されます。 左側の図で、2から4までがオフチェーンで行われ、7でのみオンチェーンの決済が行われます。 メイカー: 予約注文を提示する人。 テイカーはメイカーの予約注文に応じる人。 ※オーダーブックは予約注文をリスト化して管理する注文表。 ①メイカーは、自分が持つトークンAへDEXコントラクトがアクセスするのを承認する ②メイカーは自身が持つトークンAをトークンBに交換するための取引を注文し、秘密鍵で署名が行われる。 ③メイカーはこの取引注文をネットワークにブロードキャストする ④テイカーはその取引注文を受ける ⑤テイカーは自分が持つトークンBにDEXコントラクトがアクセスするのを承認する ⑥テイカーはメイカーの署名をDEXコントラクトに提示する ⑦DEXコントラクトがトークンAとトークンBの取引決済を行う オーダーブックの管理者はリレイヤーと呼ばれ、報酬として取引手数料を得ることを目的とした不特定の個人が主体となることができます。 リレイヤーはオフチェーンでのオーダーブック管理だけを行います。 ①リレイヤーが取引手数料の金額と手数料受取用アドレスをメイカーに提示する ②メイカーは取引注文を作り、提示された取引手数料をセットし、秘密鍵で署名を行う ③メイカーは署名済みの注文をリレイヤーに提示する ④リレイヤーは注文の正当性を確認し、有効ならオーダーブックに記録する ⑤テイカーはメイカーの注文が更新されたオーダーブックを受け取る ⑥テイカーは取引したい注文を見つけ、イーサリアムブロックチェーンのDEXコントラクトに提示する 0x まとめ 0xではビットコインのマイニングを多くの人が競争して行うのと同様に、リレイヤー同士の競争により取引手数料はより安くなっていくことを前提に設計されています。 オーダーブックの管理者が分散されているという点がこれまでになかった新しい仕組みとなっています。 また、取引の実行時は安全性のためイーサリアムブロックチェーン上で行われるので、送金速度の問題が未解決のまま残されています。 デイトレーダーにとって取引所では両替が瞬間的に行われる必要があります。...

改ざんが極めて困難！ブロックチェーンの構造
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語. 前回の記事で、 ブロックチェーンは３つの暗号技術を用いて不正を防いでいると説明しましたね。 参考：ブロックチェーンの不正を防ぐ3つの暗号技術 今回はその暗号技術を用いてブロックチェーン構造 がどのような構造になっているかを説明します。この記事を読めばきっとブロックチェーンという名称の由来がわかるでしょう。 １．仮想通貨はただのデータにすぎない ブロックチェーンの構造を説明する前に、仮想通貨について触れたいと思います。本来、仮想通貨はただのデータに過ぎません。あなたが仮想通貨を誰かに送金するとき、「×時△分、○○にいくら払いました。」と台帳に記録されるだけで、その通貨は目に見えるものでも触れられるものでもありません。 このように、仮想通貨は台帳上の記録に過ぎないものですが、みんなが価値があると思うから通貨になりました。しかし、仮想通貨のようなデータが通貨として認められるためには必要な条件があります。 ”データが通貨として成り立つための３条件 送信者が誰か特定できる。 送信内容が途中で改ざんされない。 送信者が後で自分が送信したことを否定できない。 引用元：玉蔵（2017）『社会を根底から変えるシェアリングエコノミーの衝撃！仮想通貨ブロックチェーン＆プログラミング入門』株式会社ヒカルランド” ブロックチェーン はその構造によって、３つの条件を満たすことができます。 ２．台帳が改ざんされないためのブロックチェーンの構造 （１）ブロックには前の取引情報も含まれる ブロックチェーン は前回の取引情報が次の取引情報に含まれる構造になっています。では、一郎さんからまい子さんへ送金する場合の取引記録を見てみましょう。 下記は一郎さんからまい子さんに渡されるブロックの中に含まれるものです。 前回までの取引記録のハッシュ値 取引内容「一郎⇒まい子 ３ＢＴＣ」 まい子の公開鍵 一郎の署名 このように取引記録がひとつのブロックとしてまとめられて、次の取引に鎖状につながっていくことがブロックチェーンという名称の由来です。では、なぜ前回の取引記録まで次のブロックに送られるのでしょうか？ それは、ひとつのコインを改ざんして2人に送るといった「二重支払い」を防ぐためです。前回の取引記録をブロックに含めることによって、コインががどこからきたものなのかを明確にすることができます。これにより存在しないコインが送金されることを防いでいます。 これは二重支払いのような改ざんが起こってもすぐに分かるしくみです。ブロックBが改ざんされてブロックB’が作られたとしても、後に続くB’以降の全てのブロックのハッシュ値が全く違うものになる為、改ざんされてもすぐに分かるような構造になっています。 （２）改ざんを難しくするナンスの役割 それでは改ざんしたブロック以降を全て書き換えれば良いのでは？と思うでしょう。しかし、それを阻止する仕組みが存在します。それは、ナンスと呼ばれています。まず、実際の取引に使われているブロックのハッシュ値を見てましょう。 ここであることに気づきませんか？ ハッシュ値の先頭は０が並んでいますね。本来、ハッシュ化した場合、ランダムな数字が並ぶためこのようなことは起こりません。これは０が並ぶように意図的にデータに何らかの文字列を足しているのです。ここで足される文字列がナンスです。 上の図のように、ブロックをハッシュ化する際、ハッシュ値に０が並ぶまで何度もナンスの文字列を変えて計算を繰り返します。 このように適当なナンスを見つける作業をマイニングといいます。ナンスを見つけた人には台帳に書き込む権利が与えられ、報酬として12.5BTC（※）もらえる仕組みになっています。 ちなみに、マイニング（mining）の由来は、計算処理の報酬として仮想通貨が支払われることが、鉱山から金や銀を採掘するイメージと似ている為です。 マイニングはとても大変な作業ですが、報酬を得るために世界中で計算機を回して行われています。そして、ビットコインはこのマイニングからしか生まれないようになっています。マイニングはビットコインをはじめとする様々な通貨で採用されている方法です。 2019/9/5現在 1BTC＝約110万円のため12.5BTC＝約1400万円 （3）一番長いものが正式なブロックになる...

オフショアを始める前にやっておきたいこと
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語. 1. オフショアに関する意識調査結果から 少し古くなりますが、IPAの調査データに次のようなものがあります。IPA (Information technology Promotion Agency) がオフショアに関してIT企業に出したアンケートの結果です。調査Aでは、70％以上が「現在より拡大したい」と言っており、調査Bでは、「70％以上が予定なし」と答えています。 まったく相反するような結果が出ていますが、実はこれ、調査Aは既にオフショアを実施している企業からの回答であり、調査Bは過去に一度もオフショアを実施したことがない企業からの回答なのです。 一概には言えませんが、オフショアで開発を経験した企業はそのメリットを享受し、さらに利益を求めて拡大へと向かい、経験したことがない企業は、実感としてメリットを捉えることができないためにさらにオフショア実施に対して消極的になってしまっているという構図がうかがえます。 2. オフショアを始める前に何をする必要があるか？ このように経験したことがない企業が、オフショアを検討し始める際には当然のごとく不安が付きまとうことになります。また、何も考えずにオフショアを始めたのでは、過去の失敗事例同様の結末になりかねません。オフショアでの開発は、少なからずリスクが存在します。ここでは、リスクに対する不安を少しでも和らげるために、何をすれば良いかについて紹介します。オフショアを始める前には、最低でも次のことはやっておきましょう。 目的を明確にする 概要を理解する オフショアの事例を研究する オフショア先（国）候補を決める 2.1 目的を明確にする まず、オフショアの目的を明確にしておきましょう。目的により、オフショアの進め方、オフショア先が違ってきます。目的としては次のようなものが考えられます。 コスト削減 人件費の低い国での労働力を活用し、開発予算を抑えます 人材不足解消 日本国内での人材不足解消の手段を海外に求めます スキル導入 自社に技術スキルがなく、即時にそのスキルを導入したい場合に活用します 2.2 概要を理解する 次に、オフショアの契約形態とそのフォーメーションについて理解しておきましょう。大きく分けると受託開発型とラボ型の二つに分類することができます。 受託開発型 オフショア側に納品責任が有る、日本で一般的に採用されているものと同様の契約モデルです。事前に決められた仕様、期間、金額通りにシステムを納品することでプロジェクトが完了します。現地とブリッジSEを窓口にして開発を進めます。 ラボ型開発 同ーのオフショアチームを一定期間、一定予算で抱え込んで開発を進めるやり方です。お客様は、ブリッジSEを通して、或いは直接オフショア側のチームに指示を与えます。 3. オフショアの事例を研究する 目的がはっきりして、オフショアの概要を理解したら、次に他部門・他社のいろいろな事例について研究するとよいでしょう。先達が残してくれた事例は、失敗しないための貴重な財産になります。事例については、インターネットを検索しても、すぐにたくさんの成功事例、失敗事例を見つけることができます。その事例から、注意点やリスクを自分で読み取ることはとても役に立つでしょう。...

ダナンのIT産業が急成長した理由と今後の課題
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語. １． ダナンのIT産業が急成長した理由 ますます発展するベトナムのIT業界の中で、ダナンは特に注目を集めています。ひと昔前、日本企業によるダナンへの投資は、製造・加工業が中心でした。 しかし、10年程前からソフト開発や設計などのIT分野への投資が目立つようになり、2018年には投資件数の25％がIT分野という状況になりました。 このようにダナンのIT産業が注目を浴びるようになった理由は何でしょうか？理由は３つあります。 １-１．人件費が安い ダナンのIT産業が急成長した大きな理由は人件費の安さです。ベトナムはASEAN諸国の中でも人件費が安い国です。ダナンはホーチミン、ハノイに次ぐ第3の都市ですが、その人件費は20％以上も安いと言われています。 賃金（月額） ハノイ ホーチミン ダナン 法定最低賃金 156 156 138 ワーカー（一般工職） 181 193 158 エンジニア（中堅技術者） 346 349 226 単位USD/月（JETRO 2016） さらに、ダナンのIT業界の離職率はわずか8％であり、ハノイやホーチミンが20％であるのに比べて非常に低くなっています。 このように、人件費が安く離職率が低いダナンのIT産業はオフショア開発先として注目を集め、多くの日本企業がダナンへ進出しました。 １-２．国による優遇政策 2010年、ダナンはベトナム政府からIT特区に認定されました。海外のIT企業に対する優遇政策として、法人税免除、土地リース料免除などが適用されました。 このように、国をあげて企業誘致に力を入れたことにより、多くの日本IT企業がダナンへ進出しました。 １-３．若く優秀な人材 若く優秀な人材が多いことも、ダナンのIT産業の成長に貢献しているでしょう。ダナン市には大学と短大が25校あります。その中で、工科大学、IT教育大学、IT短大などITを専攻とする学部・学科があります。 また、IT分野だけではなく、オフショア開発に重要な日本語教育も充実しています。さらに、ベトナムではほとんどの大学でインターンシップが必須となっています。 インターン先でIT企業を志望する学生も多いため、企業にとっては一緒に働いた経験のある学生を雇うことができるというメリットがあります。このように、ダナンはITと言語の両方で、若く優秀な人材が多いと言えるでしょう。 2． ダナンのIT産業...
What is Lean Startup? Success stories
Sorry, this entry is only available in 日本語 and Tiếng Việt. リーンスタート（lean start）とは、起業や新規事業などの立ち上げ（スタートアップ）が効率的に成功するためのマネジメント手法を指す言葉です。新規事業の立ち上げ時は人員や資金などのリソースが限られており、事業を安定して運営できるようになるまで非常にシビアなマネジメントが必要になります。システム開発に関しても同様で、開発費用や開発方法など、スタートアップの事業形態に即した方法を考える必要があります。この記事では、オフショア企業でのラボ型開発を活用することで、スタートアップが得られる大きなメリットについて知ることができます。 1. リーンスタートとは リーンスタートとは、アメリカの起業家エリック・リース氏が2008年に提唱した、起業や新規事業などの立ち上げ（スタートアップ）のためのマネジメント手法のことです。 リーンスタートは、事業家の思い込みで顧客にとって無価値な製品やサービスを開発してしまうことに伴う、時間、労力、資源、情熱のムダをなくすための方法論であり、最低限のコストと短いサイクルで仮説の構築と検証を繰り返しながら、市場やユーザーのニーズを探り当てていくのが特徴です。 2. 有名なリーンスタート成功事例 リーンスタートの成功事例として、代表的なものを２つ挙げます。 2.1．Instagram リーンスタートアップ事例中で最も有名なのが、Instagramです。 2010年10月6日にアップルのApp Storeに登場して以来、凄まじいスピードで多くのユーザーを虜にし、2020年3月現在、世界のインスタユーザーは10億人超えています。 日本でも2014年2月に日本語アカウントが開設され、月間アクティブユーザー数は、2015年6月に810万人、2016年3月に1200万人、同年12月に1600万人、2017年10月に2000万人を記録と、「インスタ映え」という言葉が流行語になるほど、その人気は凄まじいものです Instagramですが、もともとは「Burbn」という位置情報アプリとしてスタートしました。 しかし、一度リリースしたものの、思った以上に人気が出なかったことから、アイディアの構築・計測・学習を繰り返し、「写真の共有機能が最も人気」ということを見つけ出しました。 その結果、Burbnは写真投稿をメインにしたSNSに方向転換し、写真投稿・コメント・いいねの3機能を含んだ「Instagram」というサービスに昇華させました。 その後も、仮説検証を進め、アイディアの構築・計測・学習を進めていき、写真のエフェクトやストーリー、ショッピングなど、さまざまな機能の追加を行い、現在も変化を遂げています。 2.2．食べログ カカクコムグループが運営するグルメサイト「食べログ」は、日本企業におけるリーンスタートの代表的事例と言われています。2005年3月からサービスを開始し、レストランのユーザーによる5段階評価が掲載されるサイトを構築しました。 当初はグルメ本の情報をもとにした手打ちのデータベースで、担当者曰く、考えているものの30%しか実現に至らなかったとのことです。はじめはユーザー数が数十人程度だった食べログも、ユーザーの改善要望に可能な限り対応し、現在のシステムへ改善していきました。 その結果、現在は月間PV数が20億以上、月間利用者数は1億5万人以上となっています。リーンスタートの実践をきっかけに、右肩上がりの売上を誇るサービスに成長しています。 3. BAPの成功事例 3.1 ．動画編集・投稿型SNS『ジモフル』ー株式会社ジモフル様ご提供サービス https://jimoful.com/ ユーザーがカメラで撮影した動画や写真をアップロードし、システム上で動画作成・編集・投稿が可能です。他ユーザーからの動画の評価に応じて換金可能なアイテムを取得できます。 3.2．LIVE配信アプリ 『LIVE DREAMER』ーDreamer株式会社様ご提供サービス https://live-dreamer.com/ 誰でもアーティストやパフォーマーになって、動画やLIVEの配信が可能なアプリです。リスナーはLIVE配信中に課金アイテムを用いて投げ銭をすることができます。...
