Hi, I'm new in this called bitcoin.
Bitcoin... I understand almost everything except one thing.
What is it calculated? Hashes? for what??
For example, Foding@home calculates protein folding ... SETI@home analyzes data from radio telescopes ... but... What the Bitcoin network resolve?? For what are the results used? to hack cellphones hashes??
or are just a complex mathematical problems made randomly that are created to have the machins occupied? and the result is for nothing more?
thanks
