By Pratik Jain In BlockChain & ICO's
We are increasingly hearing about Ethereum these days. Ethereum is the popular cryptocurrency and blockchain system. It is based on the use of tokens which can be bought, sold, or traded. There are several other tokens which may be used in conjunction with Ethereum, and they differ from ether which is the currency native to the Ethereum blockchain....
The terms Coin and Token are usually used in place of each other. But both have a different meaning and connotation. Coins have only one utility — to act as simple stores of value with limited-to-no other functionality. With “simple” value, it is implied that value not represented through a variety of dynamic functions. Tokens are a...
Ledger is a basic way for maintaining records of money in accounting. As time progressed, the way of maintaining ledger improved. With advent of technology, the ledgers were stored in single central server node. All client nodes created and stored their ledger copies in central server. Due to central server, came the issue of centralized data...

What is nonce in Blockchain?

W
By Pratik Jain In BlockChain & ICO's
The "nonce" in a block of bitcoin made of a 32-bit (4-byte) field and its value is set in such a way that the hash of the block contains a run of preceding zeros. The remaining of the fields are left unchanged, as they have a defined meaning. A change into the data of block (such as the nonce) will make the hash of the block completely different....

What is Graphene?

By Pratik Jain In BlockChain & ICO's
Graphene™ is a platform of software to deploy generation third in a cryptographical manner with secure decentralized ledgers which are known to be based of blockchains. One can consider Graphene as a toolkit for real-time blockchains. Systems based of Graphene have orders of magnitude with better performance than first-generation or even 2nd...

What is consensus algorithm?

W
By Pratik Jain In BlockChain & ICO's
As we know, a blockchain is a decentralized P2P system without central authority figure. Every node in blockchain fetches, reads and stores data in a shared database or record system called as distributed ledgers. These distributed ledgers are shared data records and hence an inherent mechanism to monitor & maintain the data changes is...

What is Block time?

W
By Pratik Jain In BlockChain & ICO's
The term block time relates to an average time. It is a measure of for how long it takes the hashing power of the network to search a solution for block hash. The difficulty is calculated as proportional to the hashing power accordingly, on an average, the block time is 600 seconds for Bitcoin and 20 seconds for Ethereum. In reality, block time can...
