Bitcoin: P2P Architecture

The infrastructure behind any Blockchain has unique characteristics to achieve the decentralization of a service and make all its nodes equal.

Bitcoin: Structure and Mining of a Block

A Blockchain is a “chain of blocks” that are linked to each other, forming, as its name indicates, a chain that is impossible to break.

Bitcoin CLI

A CLI is a text-line interface that helps us interact with a project, obtain information, execute tasks, etc. The Bitcoin CLI is very similar to others that you may already know and allows us to interact with the blockchain.

Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin, like all OpenSource software, has its source code, features and processes defined so that its community can make it grow and evolve. It has several implementations and one of the most used is called Bitcoin Core.

Bitcoin Forks

Blocks in a Blockchain are generated incessantly. Each miner proposes its block, but only one manages to have it added to the chain, while all the other blocks are discarded.

Bitcoin: Transactions, Inputs & Outputs

The technical operation and logic of transactions in the Bitcoin Blockchain explain why it is an excellent global and decentralized payment system by avoiding problems such as double spending.

Bitcoin: Merkle Trees

Merkle trees are used to summarize and verify large data sets. Without it, all the information on the Blockchain would be much heavier, making it more difficult to compute.

Bitcoin Overview

Blockchain is the name of the technology that is below any cryptocurrency such as bitcoin or ether. Its operation revolutionized technology around the world and we have not yet seen everything it is capable of.

Bitcoin Script

The operation of transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain has a logical reason, its own programming language called Bitcoin Script.

Bitcoin: Transaction Fees

Every transaction in a Blockchain has a commission, or fee, to encourage the miner to prioritize, process and confirm it.

Bitcoin: Wallets & Keys

The operation of the Bitcoin Blockchain is based on keys and addresses. Although at first glance they may appear to be just cryptographic hashes in hexadecimal format, these elements are intrinsically related and fulfill key functions in the network.
