What is Blockchain Technology?

in #blockchain7 years ago

The idea of decentralization
A global network of computers uses blockchain technology to jointly manage the database that records Bitcoin transactions. That is, Bitcoin is managed by its network, and not any one central authority. Decentralization means the network operates on a user-to-user (or peer-to-peer) basis. The forms of mass collaboration this makes possible are just beginning to be investigated.

blockchain used by :
The blockchain potentially cuts out the middleman for these types of transactions. Personal computing became accessible to the general public with the invention of the Graphical User Interface (GUI), which took the form of a “desktop”. Similarly, the most common GUI devised for the blockchain are the so-called “wallet” applications, which people use to buy things with Bitcoin, and store it along with other cryptocurrencies.

Durability and robustness
Blockchain technology is like the internet in that it has a built-in robustness. By storing blocks of information that are identical across its network, the blockchain cannot:

Be controlled by any single entity.
Has no single point of failure.

Transparent :

The blockchain network lives in a state of consensus, one that automatically checks in with itself every ten minutes. A kind of self-auditing ecosystem of a digital value, the network reconciles every transaction that happens in ten-minute intervals. Each group of these transactions is referred to as a “block”. Two important properties result from this:

Transparency : data is embedded within the network as a whole, by definition it is public.
It cannot be corrupted : altering any unit of information on the blockchain would mean using a huge amount of computing power to override the entire network.

In case traditional banking, we have the bankers to control the process of money, here we can avoid that step.

Wow!! Thanks for the info, but does this suggest that the block chain technology is more efficient than traditional banking?

Yes in one case,whereas user who is not have the internet, that might be problem for them.
