Title: Is there a software architecture document about Bitcoin Software ? Post by: lepko on August 11, 2013, 06:18:56 PM The only stuff I Found this nice workflow :
http://thumbnails.visually.netdna-cdn.com/bitcoin-infographic_5029189c9cbaf.jpg First part is OK because it's classical asymetric encryption (I'm accustomed to X509 certificate). Second part about how bitcoin transaction verification works, I still don't get it : Can someone explains clearer if possible ? I asked in newbie section but may not be for newbie section so posted here. But beyond that workflow are there any documentation about the architecture of the client and "server" software (as I understand there is no server but from where are the datas downloaded from ?)

Oh my I will have to TRY to learn peer-to-peer technology then :) Title: Re: Is there a software architecture document about Bitcoin Software ?

So I'll try little bit by little bit to draw some pictures myself from source code (courtesy https://code.google.com/p/bitcoinsharp/ ) A first -and incomplete - picture of the blockchain structures : http://s21.postimg.org/afppasekn/Class_Diagram001.png http://postimg.org/image/fed7pbidf/ |
