Ever wonder if there's an easier way
to complete transactions without
having to deal with online wallets
Banks and third-party applications
Well, it's possible, thanks to blockchain, here's everything you need to know about blockchain, imagine for friends Jack, Ted Sam, and Phil meet up for dinner. After they're done, Jack pays the bill and all of them decide to split the expense amongst each other. Now, on the next day, when Phil Simms his chair to Jack via online money transfer, the transaction goes through without a hitch, then Ted and Sam send their respective shares to Jack but their transactions. Don't go through the failed. Transaction sites, some issues at the bank, that's when Jack comes to know about the many ways, a bank transaction could fail. It could be due to technical issues at the bank.
One of their accounts were hacked daily, transfer limits, being
exceeded, and sometimes additional charges like, transfer
charges associated with transferring money to solve
these Lumps
The concept of cryptocurrency came into existence. Cryptocurrencies are a form of digital or virtual currency that run on a technology known as blockchain. Thanks to blockchain, cryptocurrencies are immune to counterfeiting, don't require a central Authority and are protected by strong and complex encryption algorithms. And in a market of more than thousands of cryptocurrencies, like Litecoin etherium see cash. And so on one reign supreme, Join. Now, let's go back to our previous example, and have filled Ted and Sam, Send Jack to Bitcoins each as their contribution to the previous night's dinner. Let's assume Phil, Ted, and Sam have three Bitcoins in reserve. While Jack has five first bilson's to Bitcoins to jack. A record is created, in the form of a block. The transaction details between them is permanently inscribed in this block. This Record also holds the number of Bitcoins, each of the friend zone, After feels transaction, Jack has seven Bitcoins. Well, Phil has one following this Sam and Ted's into Bitcoins to jack. A new block is created for each of these transactions. These blocks hold the transaction details as well as how many Bitcoins Sam Ted and Jack have in reserve. These blocks are linked to each other. As each of them takes reference from the previous one, for the number of Bitcoins, each friend owns this chain of Records or blocks. This is called a ledger and this Ledger is shared among all the friends which acts as a public distributed Ledger, this forms the basis of blockchain. So what happens when Phil has only one Bitcoin left and he tries to send two more Bitcoins to Jack the transaction will not go through this is because all his friends have copies of The Ledger and it's clear that Phil has only one Bitcoin left. His friends will flag this transaction as invalid. A hacker will not be able to alter the Data in the blockchain because each user has a copy of The Ledger the data within the blocks are encrypted by complex algorithms. All of this is made possible with the help of blockchain Technology. Blockchain can be described as a collection of Records linked with each other strongly resistant to alteration and protected using cryptography. Now, let's have a closer look at the Bitcoin transaction between Jack and fill and find out how it works. Each user in the Bitcoin. Network has two keys, a public key and a private key. The public key is an address that everyone in the network knows of like an email address of a user. The private key is a unique address that only the user has knowledge of something like a password first, bill passes, the number of Bitcoins. He wants to send to Jack along with his and Jack's unique wallet, address through a hashing algorithm. All of this is part of the transaction details. These details Encrypted using encryption algorithms and using fills unique private key. This is done to digitally sign the transaction and to indicate that the transactions came from Phil, this output is now transmitted across the world using Jack's public key with this. The message or transaction can be decrypted, only by Jack's private key which only Jack has knowledge of different cryptocurrencies, use different hashing algorithms while Bitcoin uses the Salga Rhythm aetherium, which is also a famous cryptocurrency uses. One known as eith, Ash this transaction, and several other similar ones are taking place all around the world. These transactions are validated and then added block by block the people who validate these blocks are called minors for a block to be validated and added to a blockchain miners. Need to solve a complex. Mathematical problem, The Miner who solves this first adds the block to Blockchain and is rewarded with 12.5 Bitcoins. The process of solving the complex. Mathematical problem is called proof of work and the process of adding a block to the blockchain is called mining with this bill and Jack's wallets are updated. Just like every person in the network who has completed a transaction. Now that you know about blockchain and it's important Concepts time for a small quiz. What is the concept of blockchain that ensures data cannot be altered? Turd by any of the users within the network. A public distributed Ledger. Be proof-of-work, see proof of stake D, hash encryption. Let us know what you think, is the right? Answer in the comments below. Let's have a look at how Walmart uses blockchain to provide its customers with better service. Walmart was facing problems and delivering quality products to its customers. They were facing a high return rate and large amounts of refunds due to their products bad. D. They were unable to determine the point of failure in the supply chain, which started from Farm to storage to transportation to processing all the way to the customer, then Walmart adopted blockchain technology with blockchain, the quality of the goods. At each step was permanently inscribed within a block. For example, when a customer Flags a product as damaged, it can be correctly. Identified where the product got damaged in the entire supply chain. The Thus, helping Walmart to identify the problem areas and fixing them. And this is just one of several ways blockchain is used in real life applications. Can you think of any others? Let us know in the comments down below. Meet Frank. And Daniel one day, they decide to go for a trip to Venice. They made a budget list for all their expenses, like residents flight Etc.
They thought of making their bookings
online from a site that offer discounts to
the first 10 visitors on that day while making their respective flight bookings.
Daniels transaction fail and he missed the offer going on. On the other hand, Frank paid his share very quickly and easily and became one of the three Lucky Draw winners. Daniel was surprised. Frank how he could make the transaction when Daniel himself could not to which his response was, it's simple. I used Bitcoin a type of cryptocurrency Daniel was confused and he asked what cryptocurrency is and since when has it been in use Frank stepped up and explain to him cryptocurrency is a virtual or digital currency that works on blockchain technology and is designed to work as a medium of exchange online to buy goods and services and make payments which was introduced to the world. World first, in 2013, By Satoshi Nakamoto, Daniel felt that it sounds similar to other online payment options. He asked what makes it so different. Frank explained, cryptocurrency is decentralized and free from any third party interference, which means it is not issued in controlled by any government or Central Authority, unlike other payment systems that Banks or governments are handling. And that's why a crypto currency transaction never fails. There could be many reasons for why Daniels? Build. Like he may have exceeded his transfer limit for his account must have been hacked.
Or there could have been some technical issue with his bank server or maybe due to high transaction fees imposed by the bank. But on the other hand, cryptocurrency charges almost no or very low transaction cost. There is no limit for making transactions. In fact, you have 24/7 access to your money. There is no extra delay or extra charges on making international transactions. And the best part is that anybody can use crypto currency without the hassles of paperwork. All you need to do is create an account on any digital wallet of cryptocurrency. This is what makes cryptocurrency different from other online payment options. Daniel was impressed by cryptocurrency but he wondered how it works without the control than external Authority upon research, he found out that cryptocurrency, works on blockchain technology, blockchain is a set of blocks that record information of transactions like who made the transaction to whom. Amount of trade in the form of a digital Ledger, that is distributed across the entire network. Meaning, the data is replicated in stored on each node across the entire Block Chain Network, making it more secure and impossible to change. Hack or cheat the system, then it is verified and validated by every node to proceed with the process of making the transactions. The crypto and cryptocurrency stands for cryptography which is a method of using encryption and decryption to secure the data in the presence of any a third party with ulterior motives. Now, Daniel was completely aware of the whole technology and concept behind cryptocurrency and was influenced by Frank to adopt cryptocurrency, in his daily lifestyle to he did that by booking his ticket but sadly, no discount like Daniel, cryptocurrency is influenced and impacted. An enormous number of people worldwide due to this increasing popularity, new companies like May to and PayPal are coming forward and investing in cryptocurrency. Every Day in 2018 Malta and Island located. In the Mediterranean Sea, south of Italy was titled, blockchain Island as it led to the economic stability of the nation. Many fintech companies like finance and okay acts have already begun to take advantage of malta's financial incentives and have moved their headquarters to the blockchain island.
