Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s) & Answers

Q: What's a Blockchain?

A: A blockchain is a distributed database with a list (that is, chain) of records (that is, blocks) linked and secured by digital fingerprints (that is, cryptho hashes). Example from blockchain.rb:

[#<Block:0x1eed2a0 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 20:52:38, @data = "Genesis", @previous_hash = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", @hash = "edbd4e11e69bc399a9ccd8faaea44fb27410fe8e3023bb9462450a0a9c4caa1b">, #<Block:0x1eec9a0 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 21:02:38, @data = "Transaction Data...", @previous_hash = "edbd4e11e69bc399a9ccd8faaea44fb27410fe8e3023bb9462450a0a9c4caa1b", @hash = "eb8ecbf6d5870763ae246e37539d82e37052cb32f88bb8c59971f9978e437743">, #<Block:0x1eec838 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 21:12:38, @data = "Transaction Data......", @previous_hash = "eb8ecbf6d5870763ae246e37539d82e37052cb32f88bb8c59971f9978e437743", @hash = "be50017ee4bbcb33844b3dc2b7c4e476d46569b5df5762d14ceba9355f0a85f4">, ...

Q: What's a Hash? What's a (One-Way) Crypto(graphic) Hash Digest Checksum?

A: A hash e.g. eb8ecbf6d5870763ae246e37539d82e37052cb32f88bb8c59971f9978e437743 is a small digest checksum calculated with a one-way crypto(graphic) hash digest checksum function e.g. SHA256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256 Bits) from the data. Example from blockchain.rb:

ruby def calc_hash sha = Digest::SHA256.new sha.update( @timestamp.to_s + @previous_hash + @data ) sha.hexdigest ## returns "eb8ecbf6d5870763ae246e37539d82e37052cb32f88bb8c59971f9978e437743" end

A blockchain uses

• the block timestamp (e.g. 1637-09-15 20:52:38) and
• the hash from the previous block (e.g. edbd4e11e69bc399a9ccd8faaea44fb27410fe8e3023bb9462450a0a9c4caa1b) and finally
• the block data (e.g. Transaction Data...)

to calculate the new hash digest checksum, that is, the hash e.g. be50017ee4bbcb33844b3dc2b7c4e476d46569b5df5762d14ceba9355f0a85f4.

Q: What's a Merkle Tree?

A: A Merkle tree is a hash tree named after Ralph Merkle who patented the concept in 1979 (the patent expired in 2002). A hash tree is a generalization of hash lists or hash chains where every leaf node (in the tree) is labelled with a data block and every non-leaf node (in the tree) is labelled with the crypto(graphic) hash of the labels of its child nodes. For more see the Merkle tree Wikipedia Article.

Note: By adding crypto(graphic) hash functions you can "merkelize" any data structure.

Q: What's a Merkelized DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph)?

A: It's a blockchain secured by crypto(graphic) hashes that uses a directed acyclic graph data structure (instead of linear "classic" linked list).

Note: Git uses merkelized dag (directed acyclic graph)s for its blockchains.

Q: Is the Git Repo a Blockchain?

A: Yes, every branch in the git repo is a blockchain. The "classic" Satoshi-blockchain is like a git repo with a single master branch (only).

Blockchain from Scratch - Ruby Version

```ruby class Block

attr_reader :timestamp attr_reader :data attr_reader :previous_hash attr_reader :hash

def initialize(data, previous_hash) @timestamp = Time.now @data = data @previous_hash = previous_hash @hash = calc_hash end

def self.first( data="Genesis" ) # create genesis (big bang! first) block ## note: uses all zero for previous_hash ("0") Block.new( data, "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" ) end

def self.next( previous, data="Transaction Data..." ) Block.new( data, previous.hash ) end

private

def calc_hash sha = Digest::SHA256.new sha.update( @timestamp.to_s + @previous_hash + @data ) sha.hexdigest end

end # class Block

let's get started

build a blockchain a block at a time

b0 = Block.first( "Genesis" ) b1 = Block.next( b0, "Transaction Data..." ) b2 = Block.next( b1, "Transaction Data......" ) b3 = Block.next( b2, "More Transaction Data..." )

blockchain = [b0, b1, b2, b3]

pp blockchain

```

(Source: blockchain.rb)

will pretty print (pp) something like:

[#<Block:0x1eed2a0 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 20:52:38, @data = "Genesis", @previous_hash = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", @hash = "edbd4e11e69bc399a9ccd8faaea44fb27410fe8e3023bb9462450a0a9c4caa1b">, #<Block:0x1eec9a0 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 21:02:38, @data = "Transaction Data...", @previous_hash = "edbd4e11e69bc399a9ccd8faaea44fb27410fe8e3023bb9462450a0a9c4caa1b", @hash = "eb8ecbf6d5870763ae246e37539d82e37052cb32f88bb8c59971f9978e437743">, #<Block:0x1eec838 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 21:12:38, @data = "Transaction Data......", @previous_hash = "eb8ecbf6d5870763ae246e37539d82e37052cb32f88bb8c59971f9978e437743", @hash = "be50017ee4bbcb33844b3dc2b7c4e476d46569b5df5762d14ceba9355f0a85f4">, #<Block:0x1eec6d0 @timestamp = 1637-09-15 21:22:38, @data = "More Transaction Data...", @previous_hash = "be50017ee4bbcb33844b3dc2b7c4e476d46569b5df5762d14ceba9355f0a85f4", @hash = "5ee2981606328abfe0c3b1171440f0df746c1e1f8b3b56c351727f7da7ae5d8d">]

Comments from the reddit ruby posting:

Wait, so a blockchain is just a linked list?

No. A linked list is only required to have a reference to the previous element, a block must have an identifier depending on the previous block's identifier, meaning that you cannot replace a block without recomputing every single block that comes after. In this implementation that happens as the previous digest is input in the calc_hash method.

What about Proof of Work / Waste?

Let's add a proof of work / waste to the blockchain. In the classic blockchain you have to compute a block hash that starts with leading zeros (00). The more leading zeros the harder (more difficult) to compute. Let's keep it easy to compute with two leading zeros (00), that is, 16^2 = 256 possibilites (^1,2). Three leading zeros (000) would be 16^3 = 4_096 possibilites and four zeros (0000) would be 16^4 = 65_536 and so on.

(^1): 16 possibilties because it's a hex or hexadecimal or base 16 number, that is, 0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 a (10) b (11) c (12) d (13) e (14) f (15).

(^2): A random secure hash algorithm needs on average 256 tries (might be lets say 305 tries, for example, because it's NOT a perfect statistic distribution of possibilities).

Example:

```ruby def compute_hash_with_proof_of_work( difficulty="00" ) nonce = 0 loop do hash = calc_hash_with_nonce( nonce ) if hash.start_with?( difficulty )
return [nonce,hash] ## bingo! proof of work if hash starts with leading zeros (00) else nonce += 1 ## keep trying (and trying and trying) end end end

def calc_hash_with_nonce( nonce=0 ) sha = Digest::SHA256.new sha.update( nonce.to_s + @timestamp.to_s + @previous_hash + @data ) sha.hexdigest end ```

(Source: blockchain_with_proof_of_work.rb)

Let's rerun the sample with the proof of work machinery added. Now the sample will pretty print (pp) something like:

[#<Block:0x1e204f0 @timestamp = 1637-09-20 20:13:38, @data = "Genesis", @previous_hash = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", @nonce = 242, @hash = "00b8e77e27378f9aa0afbcea3a2882bb62f6663771dee053364beb1887e18bcf">, #<Block:0x1e56e20 @timestamp = 1637-09-20 20:23:38, @data = "Transaction Data...", @previous_hash = "00b8e77e27378f9aa0afbcea3a2882bb62f6663771dee053364beb1887e18bcf", @nonce = 46, @hash = "00aae8d2e9387e13c71b33f8cd205d336ac250d2828011f5970062912985a9af">, #<Block:0x1e2bd58 @timestamp = 1637-09-20 20:33:38, @data = "Transaction Data......", @previous_hash = "00aae8d2e9387e13c71b33f8cd205d336ac250d2828011f5970062912985a9af", @nonce = 350, @hash = "00ea45e0f4683c3bec4364f349ee2b6816be0c9fd95cfd5ffcc6ed572c62f190">, #<Block:0x1fa8338 @timestamp = 1637-09-20 20:43:38, @data = "More Transaction Data...", @previous_hash = "00ea45e0f4683c3bec4364f349ee2b6816be0c9fd95cfd5ffcc6ed572c62f190", @nonce = 59, @hash = "00436f0fca677652963e904ce4c624606a255946b921132d5b1f70f7d86c4ab8">]

See the difference? All hashes now start with leading zeros (00) and the nonce is the random "lucky number" that makes it happen. That's the magic behind the proof of work.

```js class Block {

constructor(data, previousHash) { this.timestamp = new Date() this.data = data this.previousHash = previousHash this.hash = this.calcHash() }

calcHash() { var sha = SHA256.create() sha.update( this.timestamp.toString() + this.previousHash + this.data ) return sha.hex() }

static first( data="Genesis" ) { // create genesis (big bang! first) block // uses all-zero previousHash return new Block( data, "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" ) }

static next( previous, data="Transaction Data..." ) { return new Block( data, previous.hash ) } }

////// // let's get started // build a blockchain a block at a time

b0 = Block.first( "Genesis" ) b1 = Block.next( b0, "Transaction Data..." ) b2 = Block.next( b1, "Transaction Data......" ) b3 = Block.next( b2, "More Transaction Data..." )

blockchain = [b0, b1, b2, b3]

console.log( blockchain ) ```

(Source: blockchain.js)

will log something like:

[ Block { timestamp : 1637-09-18 08:25:54, data : 'Genesis', previousHash : '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000', hash : 'c396de4c03ddb5275661982adc75ce5fc5905d2a2457d1266c74436c1f3c50f1' }, Block { timestamp : 1637-09-18 08:35:54, data : 'Transaction Data...', previousHash : 'c396de4c03ddb5275661982adc75ce5fc5905d2a2457d1266c74436c1f3c50f1', hash : '493131e09c069645c82795c96e4715cea0f5558be514b5096d853a5b9899154a' }, Block { timestamp : 1637-09-18 08:45:54, data : 'Transaction Data......', previousHash : '493131e09c069645c82795c96e4715cea0f5558be514b5096d853a5b9899154a', hash : '97aa3cb5052615d60ff8e6b41bef606562588c4874f011970ac2f218e2f0f4a8' }, Block { timestamp : 1637-09-18 08:55:54, data : 'More Transaction Data...', previousHash : '97aa3cb5052615d60ff8e6b41bef606562588c4874f011970ac2f218e2f0f4a8', hash : 'e10e020f832e46c2b60e1c3c0412bd370b2fde5f0f782c16eb87d0313ea0d3a3' } ]

BEWARE: Bitcoin is a gigantic ponzi scheme¹. To the moon!? The new gold standard!? Do NOT "invest" trying to get-rich-quick HODLing. Why not? The bitcoin code is archaic and out-of-date. Burn, baby, burn! Proof-of-work / waste is a global energy environmental disaster using 300 kW/h per bitcoin transaction (!) that's about 179 kilograms of CO₂ emissions². Programmable money (or the internet of value) for all future generations with (bitcoin) script without loops and jumps (gotos) and all "stateless"!? LOL.

²: Assuming let's say 0.596 kilograms of CO₂ per kW/h (that's the energy efficiency in Germany) that's about 179 kilograms of CO₂ per bitcoin transaction (300 kW/h × 0.596 kg). For more insights see the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index.

Classic Tulip Mania

A period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for bulbs of the recently introduced tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637.

Quotes - Blockchains are the next Internets / Tulips

People who compare digital tokens to tulips are essentially saying digital tokens are a bubble backed by nothing but pure hype and speculation.

What they fail to understand is that tulips come from dirt, not a blockchain.

And as we all know, blockchain is possibly the best technological innovation since the internet. It will have a tremendous impact on global business and society in general. -- TulipToken

₿ Awesome Crypto Currency Tools & Algorithms

From Wikipedia—

A cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of additional units of the currency.

Many algorithms are used in different crypto–currencies. This document references which algorithms are used in crypto-currencies, and provide a nice list of helpful services and utilities for managing coins.

So, Before We Begin…

This "coin" stuff may be confusing if you are not familiar with algorithms and data structures. Let me explain what I know so far — 

There are many, many coins. People like to trade them, not unlike stocks or Pokémon cards. People also mine them, using their home computers or specialized hardware.

Coins are stored in wallets which can be hosted online, on your local computer, or on a sheet of paper.

It is hard to mine a coin on your own, and is like gambling, so people usually opt to join a pool (which typically use the stratum protocol to coordinate) — this rewards you for your work, even if you didn't find anything because you helped contribute with thousands of other people, some of whom did find blocks. The blocks are then split up, based on the pool's rules.

Some people rent hashing power from farms and either play the "blockchain lottery", trying to find blocks of coins on their own, or they point the farm at a pool, like a typical home miner — except they have a tremendously high amount of computational power available to them, if they're willing to pay for it.

Hope that helps clear things up.
