FORK - CRYPTOGRAPHIC HASH FUNCTION - EXCHANGE RATE - SATOSHI -

FORK	it can also be used to describe a separate cryptocurrency which has been split from the main blockchain, such as namecoin being a “fork” of bitcoin. a split in the blockchain where there are temporarily two different blockchains which miners can work on. (this change is called a “hard fork”.) these can occur if software updates to a bitcoin client are incompatible or if developers decide that changes must be made to the programming of a coin. forks create an alternate version of the blockchain, leaving two blockchains to run simultaneously on different parts of the network. ^{Source + Source}
CRYPTOGRAPHIC HASH FUNCTION	there are 100 million satoshis in a single bitcoin. the smallest unit of bitcoin possible. ^{Source + Source}
EXCHANGE RATE	the exchange rate is based on two things; how it compares to a traditional currency, or how it stacks up against another type of cryptocurrency. cryptocurrency does not have this issue as it is digital. however, this is normally, money issued by the government, such as the dollar, will have a fluid exchange rate based on the country it is spent in. ^{Source + Source}
SATOSHI	the sha-256 computational algorithm is an example of a cryptographic hash. cryptographic hashes produce a fixed-size and unique hash value from variable-size transaction input. ^{Source + Source}
