What is stored in a blockchain ?

in #steempress6 years ago (edited)

information!

Understanding the type of information stored in the blockchain will help us to decide how to implement Oracles means for  the cross chain communication etc.

A blockchain is a Distributed OpenLedger of Records Contracts & Transactions between multiple parties.

Records = Assets, People, In Game assets, Non Fungible Assets, a real world farm.


Contracts = A transfer of an asset (say, a farm) between 2 people can be depicted in a contract. In the real world a contract will be defined in a legal language. Various laws of the state will become applicable. In the context of a blockchain, a contract will be written in a "Smart Contract Language." Blockchains that support contracts have their own language constructs applicable only in their respective context.


Transactions = The action of transferring an asset, or an action on a unique address or transfer of value is defined as a transaction in the context of a blockchain.

I'm slowly learning everything from scratch. I have just completed two courses on python from coursera.org. Hopefully, I will at least be able to understand what you are scribbling over here within a few months! :)

excellent - trying to write games will be a good idea to learn programming. Your goal will become printing a colour somewhere on the screen or moving an object from position A to position B instead of mundane programming aspects.

That's a great start! And much like @bobinson said, writing games will definitely cover almost all topics you could learn about programming, and then some! Also, don't be afraid to explore other languages and see which one's you like best! I started off learning Java, but found I really enjoyed the web languages of HTML/CSS/JavaScript best, as well as languages like Lua. I'm not a huge fan of Python per se, but TONS of people love it. Explore and poke around, and see what languages you like most and fit your needs best! :)

Will surely try your points. As of now I'm still figuring out ways to improve my knowledge on python. Will never turn a blind eye to any language. Thank you!

Just want to add that, this is very high level definition. Specific data can be anything from "crypto kitties" to porn.
