Definition of Hard Fork

As it relates to blockchain technology, a hard fork (or sometimes hardfork) is a radical change to the protocol that makes previously invalid blocks/transactions valid (or vice-versa), and as such requires all nodes or users to upgrade to the latest version of the protocol software. Put differently, a hard fork is a permanent divergence from the previous version of the blockchain, and nodes running previous versions will no longer be accepted by the newest version. This essentially creates a fork in the blockchain, one path which follows the new, upgraded blockchain, and one path which continues along the old path. Generally, after a short period of time, those on the old chain will realize that their version of the blockchain is outdated or irrelevant and quickly upgrade to the latest version.

Crypto-Currencies Trading Information Hi Everyone We are Crypto-currencies Consultants. We had more than 5 years of cryto currencies experienced for trading. We had wrote this blog to help other traders to earn more profit through trading and lending with Bitcoin as well as with Alts coins. We would love to share our experience and predication with you to earn through cryptocurrencies. There is importance rule for trading with the cryptocurriences is that you have to only invest 5% to 10% of your total capital for alts coins. for example let us explain you in brief if you have 100$ with you than only buy 10$ of any alt coins like bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, ripple, litecoin etc. It because if any problem arise due to some dropping than you can bear that loss and stay focus. You should not panic sell any coins if its drop down. if you see buy orders in exchanges site than the coins would be still live and move up and down. if any coin values goes below its start up

What is Bitcoin? Ans. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system. It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator. The network is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin was invented by an unknown person or group of people under the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009. Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment. Research produced by the University of Cambridge estimates that in 2017, there are 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a cryptocurrency wallet, most of them using bitcoin. Blockchain

What is Bitcoin Mining ?

Mining Mining is a record-keeping service done through the use of computer processing power. Miners keep the blockchain consistent, complete, and unalterable by repeatedly grouping newly broadcast transactions into a block, which is then broadcast to the network and verified by recipient nodes.[50] Each block contains a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the previous block, thus linking it to the previous block and giving the blockchain its name. To be accepted by the rest of the network, a new block must contain a so-called proof-of-work. The system used is based on Adam Back's 1997 anti-spam scheme, Hashcash. The PoW requires miners to find a number called a nonce, such that when the block content is hashed along with the nonce, the result is numerically smaller than the network's difficulty target. This proof is easy for any node in the network to verify, but extremely time-consuming to generate, as for a secure cryptographic hash, miners must try many different nonce valu
