Blockchain is the digital and decentralized ledger that records all transactions. Every time someone buys digital coins on a decentralized exchange, sells coins, transfers coins, or buys a good or service with virtual coins, a ledger records that transaction, often in an encrypted fashion, to protect it from cybercriminals. These transactions are also recorded and processed without a third-party provider, which is usually a bank.

in my opinion Basically in the activities in the field of technology is done data processing and in the processing of data that many elements in it such as where data is placed how data is made how data is distributed and the other is blockchain is one of the technologies that reverse the rapid development of cryptocurrency in the world and also the blockchain technology is a multiserver data storage technology or composed of many servers.

Block chain technology is the publicly distributed ledger system which records all the crypto currency transactions all through out the globe and every one can view the transactions recorded in the block chain system which makes it easier for further auditing. Block chain system all the transactions are recorded in a clear and system way so no one will be able to manipulate the block chain system as it is a system generated technology or can be called the decentralized  which does not have any central authority for controlling the system.

Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger for maintaining a permanent and tamper-proof record of transactional data. A blockchain functions as a decentralized database that is managed by computers belonging to a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Each of the computers in the distributed network maintains a copy of the ledger to prevent a single point of failure (SPOF) and all copies are updated and validated simultaneously.

Gday :)

I want to know whether what is a blockchain technology...? If you know, please explain as simple as possible.... 

Here's my attempt at a simple explanation :

The blockchain is a de-centralized database
The database (called the 'blockchain' because it's a chain of blocks of data) that stores the bitcoins is distributed over the 'cloud' - it is not found in any central location, but copied in many computers on the internet.

The blockchain is safe.
The blockchain is protected with secure encryption like the NSA uses - it cannot be hacked (yet). It's called a 'chain' because each block is linked to the previous one in a way that makes it un-hackable.

The blockchain only grows, it cannot be edited.
The blockchain is a form of ledger - it is only ever ADDED to, with one block added at intervals (about every 10 minutes.)

The blockchain (i.e. all transactions) are public.
Everyone can see the entire blockchain, with every bitcoin transaction that has ever happened. You can watch the blockchain and its transactions right here :
https://blockchain.com/

Bitcoins are located at an 'address'.
All bitcoins are located at what is called a bitcoin address. An address is a big number like this example : 1AGNa15ZQXAZUgFiqJ2i7Z2DPU2J6hW62i (that is an address of some random person.)
It's actually a 'public key' - one half of a key pair. A key pair is two mathematically related large numbers : 1) the public key (the address) and 2) the private key.

Bitcoins go from one address to another.
A bitcoin transaction consists of sending an amount of bitcoins (which can be fractional) from one address to another. Anyone can send TO an address - it is public. But to take FROM an address you must have the private key associated with that address. Which must be kept secret of course.

Bitcoin transactions are bundled into a block.
As bitcoin transactions occur, they are accumulated in a temporary buffer (the 'mempool'). After about 10 minutes they are bundled up into a block which is then added to the block chain.

Bitcoins are created every block.
Bitcoins are brought into existence (and sent to the miner's address) every time a block is added to the block-chain. They are the reward for creating the block. Currently the reward is 12.5 bitcoin per block. That's about US$6200 every 10 minutes. Almost a million US$ per day. It's called bitcoin 'mining'.

The cost is electricity
The cost of mining bitcoins is measured in kWh - it takes a lot of electric power to mine bitcoins, and the cost (usually) increases. Because as computers get faster, bitcoin adjusts its formula to match (so that the block time is always around 10 minutes).

Mining requires a lot of computation.
The process of mining a block requires a lot of processing power. Mining is based on a hashing function of the block - a complex formula that takes all the data in the block and spits out one big number calculated from it (like a checksum or signature). That number (called the hash) is essentially random digits. But with just the right magic number (called the nonce) added into the block data, the hash will start with all '0s'. Mining involves trying hugely many different nonces until the hash produces enough '0's at the start. The first miner to get the right hash has their block added to the blockchain and they are rewarded with the 12.5 BTC (this reward halves every few years.) Then the transactions in that block are cleared from the mempool, and all the miners start again trying to hash out a new block.

Off course I know and understand what is blockchain. It is a a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly. A system in which a record of transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network.

blockchain is a widespread database system in a network or transaction logging technology integrated with modern technology.
blockchain is very important in creating a digital currency, one of which is bitcoin.
The blockchain system does not use a third party as its center, but uses multiple parties or computers scattered within the network itself. This will make irresponsible people into trouble breaking into the system and have a small probability that will occur.

We all know we are dealing with number of  cryptocurrencies and specially in bitcoin.  These all are digital transactions.  Recording of these decentralized  transactions in a ledger known as Public Ledger is called blockchain.  The most recent transactions are growing a completed blocks which are being recorded and added to it in chronological order.  Market participants can keep track of these digital currency transactions without any centralized record keeping.  You can get a copy of the block chain if your computer is connected to network; which is downloaded automatically.

It was the bitcoin for which an accounting method was developed by using distributed ledger technology.  It appears in variety of commercial applications now a days.

Now this technology is basically being used to verify transactions.  Now any document after digitizing and coding can be inserted into blockchain.  Then it creates indelible record which is not possible to change.  The authenticity of the records can be verified by any user / member / person by using the blockchain without the help of any centralized authority because it being decentralized.

Blockchain is a kind of wallet which was discovered only for Bitcoin transactions as bitcoin is the first digital currency which can be traded in online.  But now-a-days Bitcoin, Ether, Bitcoin Cash can be traded by blockchain.
Like paper money and gold before it, bitcoin and ether allow parties to exchange value. Unlike its predecessors, it is digital and decentralized. For the first time in history, people can exchange value without intermediaries which translates to greater control of funds and lower fees.

Blockchain is connecting the world to the future of finance. It is the most trusted and fastest growing crypto company. They are helping millions across the globe – from single individuals to the largest institutions. It is an easy and safe way to access crypto-currency. Through the use of block chain technology, Blockchain is revolutionizing the $14T financial services industry. Blockchain has raised over $70 million in funding from leading investors including Light-speed Venture Partners and Google Ventures.

It is like a public ledger, If you send bitcoin to a friend or sell it. That information is publicly available in the blockchain, other may not know your identity, but they know exactly how much value has been transferred from one person to another. Many people see blockchain as an alternative to traditional banking. Instead of needing a bank or some other institution to verify the transfer of money you can used blockchain and eliminate the middleman.

A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the consensus of the network. This allows the participants to verify and audit transactions inexpensively. A blockchain database is managed autonomously using a peer-to-peer network and a distributed timestamping server. They are authenticated by mass collaboration powered by collective self-interests.

In essence, Blockchain is a transparent publicly accessible ledger. Using public key encryption and proof of work methods, it enables us to securely transfer money. It has some following features:
1. Every verified transaction is added to the ledger as a “block”. Thus all data exchanges are kept.
2. Each transaction is verified by a distributed system, or a peer-to-peer network.
3. Transactions are irreversible, meaning that once sent it is impossible to reverse the transaction to recover them.

Post by: Pamela Silvaa on July 18, 2018, 03:09:37 PM
You can visualize that Blockchain is a shared ledger which keeps record every transaction performed through it. The network runs as following steps:
1) New transactions are broadcast to all nodes.
2) Each node collects new transactions into a block.
3) Each node works on finding a difficult proof-of-work for its block.
4) When a node finds a proof-of-work, it broadcasts the block to all nodes.
5) Nodes accept the block only if all transactions in it are valid and not already spent.
6) Nodes express their acceptance of the block by working on creating the next block in the
chain, using the hash of the accepted block as the previous hash.

Blockchain is a decentralized database that stores a a registry of asset and transactions across a peer-to-peer network. It's basically a public ledger showing who owns what and who transacts what. Through the cryptography, the transactions are secured. Over time, that transaction history get locked in blocks of data that are then cryptographically linked and together and secured.

Block chain technology is the publicly distributed ledger system which records all the crypto currency transactions all through out the globe and every one can view the transactions recorded in the block chain system which makes it easier for further auditing. Block chain system all the transactions are recorded in a clear and system way so no one will be able to manipulate the block chain system as it is a system generated technology or can be called the decentralized  which does not have any central authority for controlling the system.

The blockchain technology is extremely helpful for the world of crypto currency. the blockchain is ledger where all the transaction of the crypto currency is recorded. The best part of it is that it cannot be edited, once an amount is transferred it is recorded and the record cannot be erased. Also the encryption system is very secure keeping away hackers.

Blockchain is a technology introduced with Bitcoin by one or a group calling itself Satoshi Nakamoto which was originally used to record the financial transactions of bitcoin.

Simple blockchain is a data structure that can not be changed can only be added only. Each data from this blockchain is connected where if there is a change in one of the data block it will affect the next data.

Blockchain was also made with a mysterious name Satoshi Nakamoto. Blockchain is a public and digital ledger it is commonly used in transaction and business. It is the most trusted all in one in crypto's company. The real usage of blockchain is to record all the transaction inside bitcoin and it is also known as a database it also records information publicly and chronologically. It is a growing list of records that are called blocks. That's why it called blockchain because it looks like a block of chain.

Blockchain is a technology that securely transfers data based on a very complex coding system, similar to a company's accounting ledger, where cash is closely monitored. In this case Blockchain is an accounting ledger operating in the digital domain.
Blockchain owns a very special feature that is the transmission of data does not require an intermediary to confirm the information. The Blockchain system has many independent nodes that can authenticate information without requiring a "sign of trust". The information in Blockchain can not be changed and only be added with the consent of all nodes in the system. This is a high security system against the possibility of data theft. Even if part of the Blockchain system collapses, the computers and other nodes will continue to protect the information and keep the network going.

the simple blockchain is an online global database-which can be used anywhere in the world connected to the internet. Unlike other databases that are usually owned by certain institutions such as banks or governments, Blockchain does not belong to anyone. Make it more transparent because it can be accessed by anyone.

Like a parent ledger in a bank that records all customer transactions, Blockchain also records all transactions the user performs. It's just that, if the parent book only can be seen and checked by the authorities in the bank, then all transactions through Blockchain can be seen by all users. Because the Blockchain information warehouse is permanently stored throughout the network of its users, because the information collected is also distributed to everyone.

And more, Split ledgers allow simple contract coding to be executed when certain conditions are met. Ethereum is an open source blockchain project, built specifically to meet this requirement. However, in the early stages of development, Ethereum has the potential to take advantage of blockchain on a much larger scale like so much.

At the current level of technology development, smart contracts can be programmed to perform simple functions. For example, a derivative transaction may be settled when a financial instrument satisfies certain criteria, with the use of blockchain and Bitcoin technology that allows for automated payments, without human involvement or intermediary witness.

It is something in which all the transactions that happens goes through.

The blockchain stores all the transactions, and groups them into blocks. Each block is linked(chained) together through hash functions.
That is why it is call blockchain.

Note that Satoshi Nakamoto does not use the term blockchain in his Bitcoin whitepaper at all. Blockchain is a term later given to the way Bitcoin transactions were being stored. This idea of linking data together through hash functions was first described in a paper from the early 90s. In fact this paper is one of Satoshi Nakamoto's sources he sites in his Bitcoin whitepaper.

You can understand Blockchain is a technology that allows secure data transmission based on extremely complex coding systems. The Blockchain system is divided into three categories:
-Public: Anyone has the right to read and write data on Blockchain. Authentication process on this blockchain requires thousands or tens of thousands of participants. Therefore, it is impossible to attack the Blockchain system because of its high cost.
-Private: The user is allowed to read the data, not write permission, because it belongs to the third party trusted.
-Permissioned: Also known as the Consortium, a form of Private but augmented with certain features, combining "trust" with public participation and "absolute trust" when joining Private.

All data on the Internet is easily copied. As we know, Bitcoin is just one application of Blockchain technology, meaning that each Bitcoin transaction is just one file.
Normally, when dealing online, we will need a third party that we trust (eg, intermediary, shipping company, bank ...) with a database set to verify the transaction to prevent fraud when the crooks use this file repeatedly.
Blockchain technology solves this problem without the need for a reliable third party.
The blockchain is a ledger that records all transactions

Blockchain technology is similar to a database, just different in interacting with a database. To understand blockchain, it is important to understand the following five definitions: block chaining, distributed consensus mechanisms, reliable computing, intelligent contracts, and work proof. This computational model is the basis for creating distributed applications.

Technically, blockchain provides a hierarchical data called "digital ledger" and uses encryption technologies. Everyone can see their transactions. This network is basically a series of computers that all have to approve a transaction before it can be validated and recorded. It's like sending a letter and everyone confirms the letter is yours. Your letter will be sent to various computers and confirmed, the contents of the letter will be scattered and re-entered into a matching string.

Blockchain is one technology that does not use third parties in the data exchange process or in the transaction process.

The example is, if you buy something in the store by using a debit card, the third parties here are banks that connecting the buyers and sellers in the transaction using the debit card. But in the bitcoin, seller and buyer can be directly connected without third parties assistance.
