How does Bitcoin work?
This is a question often surrounded by confusion, so here's a quick explanation!
The basics for a new user
As a new user, you can get started with Bitcoin without understanding the technical details. Once you've installed a Bitcoin wallet on your computer or mobile phone, it will generate your first Bitcoin address and you can create more whenever you need one. You can disclose your addresses to your friends so that they can pay you or vice versa. In fact, this is pretty similar to how email works, except that Bitcoin addresses should be used only once.
Balances - block chain
The block chain is a shared public ledger on which the entire Bitcoin network relies. All confirmed transactions are included in the block chain. It allows Bitcoin wallets to calculate their spendable balance so that new transactions can be verified thereby ensuring they're actually owned by the spender. The integrity and the chronological order of the block chain are enforced with cryptography.
Transactions - private keys
A transaction is a transfer of value between Bitcoin wallets that gets included in the block chain. Bitcoin wallets keep a secret piece of data called a private key or seed, which is used to sign transactions, providing a mathematical proof that they have come from the owner of the wallet. The signature also prevents the transaction from being altered by anybody once it has been issued. All transactions are broadcast to the network and usually begin to be confirmed within 10-20 minutes, through a process called mining.
Processing - mining
Mining is a distributed consensus system that is used to confirm pending transactions by including them in the block chain. It enforces a chronological order in the block chain, protects the neutrality of the network, and allows different computers to agree on the state of the system. To be confirmed, transactions must be packed in a block that fits very strict cryptographic rules that will be verified by the network. These rules prevent previous blocks from being modified because doing so would invalidate all the subsequent blocks. Mining also creates the equivalent of a competitive lottery that prevents any individual from easily adding new blocks consecutively to the block chain. In this way, no group or individuals can control what is included in the block chain or replace parts of the block chain to roll back their own spends.

When a customer pays in bitcoin, the payment service provider accepts the bitcoin on behalf of the merchant, directly converts it, and sends the obtained amount to merchant's bank account, charging a fee of less than 1 percent for the service.bitcoin msigna Hopefully Bitcoin will grow to the point where no single organization can disrupt the network, or would be better served by helping it.claymore monero secp256k1 ethereum monero форум casper ethereum принимаем bitcoin wikileaks bitcoin testnet bitcoin ethereum browser bitcoin адреса bitcoin биткоин ethereum rig обсуждение bitcoin валюта bitcoin bitcoin принцип

Volatility is measured in traditional markets by the Volatility Index, also known as the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). More recently, a volatility index for bitcoin has also become available. Known as the Bitcoin Volatility Index, it aims to track the volatility of the world's leading digital currency by market cap over various periods of time.1bitcoin баланс bitcoin википедия bitcoin red деньги bitcoin sec bitcoin суть bitcoin bitcoin mastercard up bitcoin gold cryptocurrency delphi bitcoin avto bitcoin mindgate bitcoin создатель ethereum bitcoin шахта bitcoin pay пузырь bitcoin github ethereum hardware bitcoin bitcoin widget is bitcoin создатель ethereum difficulty bitcoin адрес bitcoin monero hardware yandex bitcoin принимаем bitcoin bitcoin shops ios bitcoin bitcoin ммвб стратегия bitcoin символ bitcoin bitcoin автоматически продам bitcoin
