Bitcoin, английский
- Is a cryptocurrency that runs on a (1) global peer to peer network, is (2) decentralised (no single entity can control it), it’s (3) open source (wallet & transaction verification), (4) bypassing middlemen or central authority, with (5) no issuer or acquirer, (6) anyone with a computer or smartphone can use it
- A decentralized peer-to-peer online payment system with completely digital currency, called bitcoins. from a user perspective, bitcoin is a mobile app or computer program that provides a personal bitcoin wallet that allows them to send and receive bitcoins for purchases and payments.
- A digital currency that uses bitcoin. bitcoin
- A cryptocurrency first proposed by satoshi nakamoto in 2008. bitcoin uses a specific technology called blockchain which prevents the double spending of any bitcoin and allows for unprecedented security. there are currently thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens based on blockchain technology.
Bitcoin (lowercase), английский
The specific collection of technologies used by bitcoin’s ledger, a particular solution. note that the currency is itself one of these technologies, as it provides the miners with the incentive to mine.
Bitcoin atm, английский
A cash point where people can trade fiat currency and bitcoins
Bitcoin investment trust (биткойновый инвестиционный фонд), английский
Частный фонд, который совершает инвестиции исключительно в биткойны и использует хранение биткойнов от имени и по поручению своих вкладчиков. предоставляет финансовые услуги для людей, желающих инвестировать в биткоины, без необходимости самому покупать и безопасно хранить криптовалюту.
Bitcoins per block или block reward (биткоинов за блок), английский
Вознаграждение, выплачиваемое майнеру за успешное решение криптографической задачи и присоединение блока к блокчейну.
Cryptocurrency, английский
A form of digital currency based on mathematics, where encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds. furthermore, cryptocurrencies operate independently of a central bank.
Blockchain, английский
- A blockchain is a type of distributed ledger, comprised of unchangable, digitally recorded data in packages called blocks (rather like collating them on to a single sheet of paper). each block is then ‘chained’ to the next block, using a cryptographic signature. this allows block chains to be used like a ledger, which can be shared and accessed by anyone with the appropriate permissions.
- Shared, trusted, public ledger of transactions, that everyone can inspect but which no single user controls. it is a cryptographed, secure, tamper resistant distributed database. it solves a complex mathematical problem to exist. a blockchain is a perfect place to store value, identities, agreements, property rights, credentials, etc. once you put something like a bitcoin into it, it will stay there forever. it is decentralized, disintermediated, cheap and censorship resistant. applications of blockchain: bitcoin (cryptocurrency), namecoin (wants to replace the entire dns system of the internet), or sia (a decentralized cloud storage), ethereum (turing complete virtual machine where you can run any smart contract); any centralized service like ebay, dropbox can potentially be built in a decentralized way using blockchain technology, considerably lowering transaction costs
- Think of blockchain as a database or a spreadsheet. but a really special spreadsheet. there`s no centralized master copy. instead, it`s shared on many computers. it`s special because you can only add to it. there`s no editing of history. the database is divided into chronological sub-sheets. these are the blocks. the last line of any block summarizes all of the data in the block, and ч and this is pretty important ч appears as the first line of the next block. if anyone tries to edit a block, the last line will change and will not match the first line of the next block. the network sees this corrupted block and immediately replaces it. this ingenious trick makes it futile to rewrite history and guarantees an unprecedented degree of security. blockchain was invented by haber and stornetta in 1991 but made famous in the satoshi nakamoto`s bitcoin paper.

Block height, английский
Block height refers to the number of blocks connected together in the block chain. for example, height 0, would be the very first block, which is also called the genesis block.
Bitcoin (lowercase), английский
The specific collection of technologies used by bitcoin’s ledger, a particular solution. note that the currency is itself one of these technologies, as it provides the miners with the incentive to mine.
