The blockchain is eternal. Every transaction logged to the encrypted and open public ledger technology is cryptographically locked, frozen in an inalterable public record. The code is the foundation of much-hyped cryptocurrency Bitcoin, as well a number of fascinating, if speculative, startups. The business and cultural potential of the blockchain excited business and developer communities, but technological reality of the code is often misunderstood.... http://www.techrepublic.com/article/five-big-myths-about-the-bitcoin-blockchain/ Title: Re: [2016-09-06] TR.COM| Five big myths about the Bitcoin blockchain Post by: Das on September 08, 2016, 02:46:49 AM I agree that the bitcoin blockchain is still evolving with new features added from time to time but those "myths" are not actually myths. They are verifiable facts.

The editor never felt in needs of assigning even a reporter to cover the topic. Now that sort of things change unanimously for every leading media of the world. So give them little a bit more time to digest the myths! Thanks!

They are verifiable facts. New features being added to the blockchain? How so? The blockchain right now isn't any different from how it was years ago. You can exactly do the same with it, however, with the upcoming block size increase you can even add more transactions/data in a single block. The only "downside" will be that the blockchain will grow much faster in size.

Some of the new features being included is the lightning network for faster transactions and anonymity option and the likes.

I was more referring to what has already been added as a significant feature. |
