<h3>What is <span>bitcoin</span></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Bitcoin was the first decentralized digital currency based on
|
|
blockchain technology. It was created in 2008 by an anonymous
|
|
programmer known as Satoshi Nakamoto, who released the white paper
|
|
in a cryptography mailing list and later open sourced the software
|
|
that implements the protocol.

<h3>
|
|
How does Bitcoin work &
|
|
<span>where can I get a bitcoin wallet</span>?
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Bitcoin software runs on a number of distributed devices ranging
|
|
from smartphones as mobile wallets, PCs as desktop wallets, to ASICs
|
|
for mining. Transactions are relayed between nodes in a peer-to-peer
|
|
fashion. In a few seconds a given block will be propagated to all
|
|
other nodes on the network. While insuring that all nodes reach
|
|
consensus on which are the valid blocks. The process of supplying
|
|
new bitcoin to the system is done via the process of mining. The
|
|
mining software runs on specialized hardware and it tries to compute
|
|
the hash of assembled transactions and a number called the nonce.
|
|
The software targets a difficulty index automatically adjusted by
|
|
the network. The first miner to find the correct nonce wins the
|
|
mining reward and can relay the mined block to other peers on the
|
|
network.

<h3>What are <span>the features of Bitcoin</span>?</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span>Store of Value</span> <br />
|
|
Bitcoin, unlike other cryptocurrencies is considered as a store of
|
|
value and could arguably become the next global reserve currency.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span>Gateway to the Digital Currency World</span> <br />
|
|
Bitcoin is considered as the gateway to the cryptocurrency world,
|
|
based on its status as the first successful digital currency
|
|
experiment.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span>Bitcoin Script Language</span> <br />
|
|
An assembly like language used to build complex types of
|
|
transactions and advanced contracts to an extent. Complex
|
|
transactions like Multi-Sig are possible because of advanced Bitcoin
|
|
scripting.

<h3>Some key <span>terms</span></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span>Soft work</span> <br />
|
|
Change to the Bitcoin protocol that makes old blocks invalid which
|
|
were valid in the past. Bitcoin Segwit transactions feature was
|
|
implemented as a soft fork to the network.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span>Hard work</span> <br />
|
|
Change to the Bitcoin protocol that makes previously invalid blocks
|
|
or transactions valid. The BerkeleyDB bug activated an accidental
|
|
hard fork to the Bitcoin network in 2013.
