The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value (by [Don Tapscott](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/whats-next-generation-internet-surprise-its-all-don-tapscott)).

## Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s) & Answers
2018-09-13 03:57:43 -04:00
**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
2018-10-19 03:08:59 -04:00
digital fingerprints (that is, crypto hashes).
2018-09-13 03:57:43 -04:00
Example from [`blockchain.rb`](https://github.com/openblockchains/awesome-blockchains/blob/master/blockchain.rb/blockchain.rb):
2018-10-25 03:03:58 -04:00
2018-10-19 03:08:59 -04:00
```ruby
[#<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`](blockchain.rb/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
2018-09-24 09:39:16 -04:00
- 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...`)
2018-09-13 03:57:43 -04:00
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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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)?**
2018-03-31 10:02:45 -04:00
2018-09-13 03:57:43 -04:00
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).

**Bitcoin** is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses **peer-to-peer** technology to **operate with no central authority**: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network.

**Ethereum** is a **decentralized platform that runs smart contracts**: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference.
These apps run on a custom built **blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.**

**Q: What is IOTA?**
**IOTA** is a revolutionary new transactional settlement and data integrity layer for the Internet of Things. Its based on a new distributed ledger architecture, the **Tangle**, which overcomes the inefficiencies of current **Blockchain** designs and introduces a new way of reaching consensus in a **decentralized peer-to-peer system**. For the first time ever, through IOTA people can transfer money without any fees. This means that even infinitesimally small nanopayments can be made through IOTA.
**IOTA** is the missing puzzle piece for **the Machine Economy** to fully emerge and reach its desired potential. We envision IOTA to be the public, permissionless backbone for the Internet of Things that enables true interoperability between all devices.
