How does Bitcoin works
X Y ✓ Balances - Blockchain
- The block chain is a shared public ledger on which
the entire Bitcoin network relies. All confirmed
transactions are included in the block chain. This
way, Bitcoin wallets can calculate their spendable
balance and new transactions can be verified to be
spending bitcoins that are actually owned by the
spender.
✓ Transactions - Private Keys
- A transaction is a transfer of value between Bitcoin
wallets that gets included in the block chain.
✓ Processing - mining
- Mining is a distributed consensus system that is
used to confirm waiting transactions by including
them in the block chain. To be confirmed,
transactions must be packed in a block that fits very
strict cryptographic rules that will be verified by the
network.
