No need to suffer from centralized systems since the world has been offered its greatest weapon against it: cryptocurrency. “Fiat lux”, said God, having created heaven and earth, which was filled with darkness. And then, there was light. At least, that’s what the Holy Bible tells us. Translated to English, this Latin phrase means “let light be made.”For Christians, who much of the global population, these words mark the beginning of time and everything else. Eventually, there came a time when audacious, power-hungry, control-freak governments took the word “fiat” (literally meaning “it....
Blockchain is the ledger in Bitcoin network which records all transaction details. These transactions are registered in 10 minute blocks of 1 megabyte each. The Blockchain grows as the number of blocks increase. New blocks are created each time after the previous block exceeds the block size. The block size was limited to 1 MB during the initial days of Bitcoin when the number of transactions were less and the Blockchain didn't have much use apart from recording the transactions. But now, as the number of bitcoins and bitcoin users increase, the number of transactions also rise. Apart from....
The Network and the Blockchain. The Bitcoin network is the network of computers through which Bitcoin transactions are broadcasted and which maintains the public blockchain.

Each block contains the hash of the previous block (so someone passing along the blockchain can't take....
Bitcoin 0.8.6 was officially released this week and the incremental update brings a few bug fixes and some nifty features, such as relaxed restrictions on block size. The biggest changes affect block size. The maximum size of free transactions is now 1,000 bytes instead of 10,000 bytes, allowing more transactions per block. Since each block allows 27,000 bytes for free transactions, this means that as many as 27 free transactions will be available per block, up from three or less in 0.8.5 and previous releases. The minimum output requirement of 0.01 BTC has been dropped, too. The....
One of the main drives, since Bitcoin began gaining popularity, were the other possible uses of the block chain technology that drives it. Some have found ways to build other data layers on top of the block chain while others have found it possible to use the block chain to secure copyright notices. Everledger has devised a way that insurance companies can utilize the block chain to ensure that the items they are insuring are what they are said to be. This is not entirely secure, in the sense that a dedicated scammer could find a way to modify the actual diamond or what have you that was....
