Is Mining Worthwhile Now?
• Mining Vs Buying and Holding
• 2 arbitrary dates – 1 Jan 2017 [US$8.14] to 31 Dec 2017 [US$741.13]
• US$10,000
• Mining: 229.51ETH = US$170, 096.75
• Buying and Holding: 1228.50ETH = US$910, 479.12
• Mining and Trading are Taxable
• Capital Gains Not Taxable

29. Ledger : “a collection of financial accounts or transactions”

Immutable : The ledger cannot be changed. Ever!
What is ledger?What is Immutable?
30. What is block?
BLOCK
Block Header
Hash of previous
block header
Merkle root
Timestamp
Nonce
Transactions
Block : A block records some or all of the most recent transactions. Thus a block is like a
page of a ledger or record book.
31. Block header
BLOCK Header
Hash of previous
block header
Merkle root
Timestamp
Nonce
• Hash of previous block header
• Timestamp : It indicates when the
block was created.
• Merkle root : hash-based data
structure that is a generalization of the
hash list.
• Nonce :Counter used for the Proof of
Work algorithm. Each time you mine,
the nonce increases by 1 .
33. • Creating the candidate block
Mining
HASHING ( SHA256 )
Block’s Block header data
Hash of previous block

Merkle root
Timestamp
Nonce
No : (
Increment the nonce by 1.
Hash again!
Is hash (A8SBERA….) lower than the
target? (check the leading zeros)
YES! Problem Solved.
Proof of
Work
34. • Block header hash is less than the target
• Block size is within acceptable limits
• Block timestamp is less than two hours in the future.
• The first transaction is a coinbase transaction ( and only the first )
• The coinbase transaction has a valid reward.
• All transactions within the blocks are valid ( also have a checklist on their
own )

38. Is A blockchain the centralized, decentralized or
distributed application ?
39. What is Ethereum ?
• This is how Ethereum’s website defines itself:
• “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.”
40. What is Metamask
• MetaMask is a bridge that allows you to visit the
ethereum network in your browser today. It allows you to
run Ethereum dApps right in your browser without
running a full Ethereum node.
• MetaMask includes a secure identity vault, providing a
user interface to manage your identities on different sites
and sign blockchain transactions.
41. MetaMask
• What’s METAMASK
• How to use METAMASK
• Create Account
• Import Accounts
• Private key
• JSON File
• Network
