TURING COMPLETE	compared to sha256, this is quicker as it does not use up as much processing time. scrypt is a type of cryptographic algorithm and is used by litecoin. ^{Source + Source}
SCRYPT	the more ‘work’ you do or the more computational power you provide, the more coins you are rewarded with. a consensus distribution algorithm that requires an active role in mining data blocks, often consuming resources, such as electricity. ^{Source + Source}
SOFT FORK	an example of this is the ethereum virtual machine (evm). the ability of a machine to perform calculations that any other programmable computer is capable of, is referred by turing complete refers to. ^{Source + Source}
PROOF OF WORK	this type of fork requires most miners upgrading in order to enforce, while a hard fork requires all nodes to agree on the new version. since old nodes recognize the new blocks as valid, a soft fork is essentially backward-compatible. a soft fork differs from a hard fork in that only previously valid transactions are made invalid. ^{Source + Source}
