Presentation Talk QA

[mechatronic]

Hi,
I'm doing an intro presentation on Bitcoin, and was wondering if anyone wanted help review a graphic for errors. If it doesn't suck I'll post the source graffle and visio svg files on github for public use. It will be chopped up into a google presentation - references will be there.

thanks!

Looks correct. There are a few things to nitpick but they are acceptable for pedagogical purposes.

One thing however I think is simply not true: "The block chain is stored in a Merkle tree data structure" - the transactions within each block are stored in a Merkle tree, the blocks themselves are not.

I believe "Ecliptic Curve DSA" should be "Elliptic Curve DSA"
