Title: UTXO and POW meaning Post by: Black Arrow on April 23, 2013, 07:25:35 PM In browsing some of the development posts I repeatedly come across these acronyms, but I haven't seen any definitions either here or on the wiki. I gather that UTXO means something like the total blockchain. Does anyone know what these acronyms stand for?

Those are the important parts of the blockchain that indicate coins that are currently held by a given address. Spent transaction-outs maintain the history of those "active" coins.
