Bitcoin Introduction
“The block chain provides Bitcoin’s public ledger, an ordered and timestamped record of transactions. This system is used to protect against double spending and modification of previous transaction records.”
“Each full node in the Bitcoin network independently stores a block chain containing only blocks validated by that node. When several nodes all have the same blocks in their block chain, they are considered to be in consensus.”
“The miners do mining to earn bitcoins, an the process of mining is equal to help validating transaction and the block. Finally, there is a Bitcoin’s public ledger.”
