How is Ethereum similar to Bitcoin?
I think it’s easiest to understand Ethereum by exploring the similarities and differences between Ethereum and a simpler system, Bitcoin. So what are the similarities?
Ethereum has a blockchain
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum has a blockchain, which contains blocks of data (transactions and smart contracts). The blocks are created or mined by some participants and distributed to other participants who validate them.
You can explore this blockchain here: https://etherscan.io
Blocks form a chain by referring to the hash or fingerprint of the previous block. See a gentle introduction to blockchain technology for a primer.
Ethereum is public and permissionless
Like Bitcoin, the main Ethereum network is a public, permissionless network – ie anyone can download or write some software to connect to the network and start creating transactions and smart contracts, validating them, and mining blocks without needing to log in or sign up with any other organisation.
In general, when people talk about Ethereum they mean the main public permissionless instance (version) of the network. However, like Bitcoin, you can take Ethereum software, modify it slightly and create private networks that aren’t connected to the main public network. The private tokens and smart contracts won’t be compatible with the public tokens though, for now. For more on the difference between public permissionless and private permissioned networks, see confused by blockchains? Revolution vs Evolution
Ethereum has Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining
Like Bitcoin, mining participants create valid blocks by spending electricity to find solutions to a mathematical puzzle. Ethereum’s PoW maths challenge called Ethash works slightly differently to Bitcoin’s, and this allows common hardware to be used for mining. This reduces the efficiency edge of task-specific hardware known as ASICs, which are common in Bitcoin mining.
For more on mining see a gentle introduction to bitcoin mining.
On Ethereum’s roadmap there is a plan to move from electricity-expensive Proof-of-Work mining to a more energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake protocol called Casper, in a future release of the Ethereum software called Serenity.
Ethereum has an inbuilt cryptocurrency
Ethereum’s token is called Ether, shortened to ETH. This is a cryptocurrency that can be traded for other cryptocurrencies or other sovereign currencies, just like BTC. Its current value is around US$13 per ETH token (Oct 2016). Token ownership is tracked on the Ethereum blockchain, just like BTC ownership is tracked on Bitcoin’s blockchain, though at a technical level they track them in slightly different ways.

A number of countries are undertaking blockchain-based land registry projects. Honduras was the first government to announce such an initiative in 2015, although the current status of that project is unclear. This year, the Republic of Georgia cemented a deal with the Bitfury Group to develop a blockchain system for property titles. Reportedly, Hernando de Soto, the high-profile economist, and property rights advocate will be advising on the project. Most recently, Sweden announced it was experimenting with a blockchain application for property titles.Today we see broad parts of society, millennials especially, acting increasingly critical of central bank interventionism.

Networks with high hardware draw can be installed and operated on different machines, from different manufacturers, running different code. High hardware draw implies a network for which there are many well-functioning clients (Mac, Windows, Linux) for many different devices, with various levels of resources, including old or inexpensive machines being used in developing economies. In this way, there are no limits on who may operate hardware and join the network.weather bitcoin скачать bitcoin bitcoin node pos bitcoin bitcoin tm monero wallet ethereum майнить flypool ethereum ethereum miner is bitcoin bloomberg bitcoin отдам bitcoin bitcoin qiwi капитализация ethereum сложность monero 50000 bitcoin satoshi bitcoin game bitcoin daily bitcoin ethereum обвал panda bitcoin сайте bitcoin tether скачать bitcoin tor bitcoin landing удвоитель bitcoin обмен monero film bitcoin ethereum gas carding bitcoin система bitcoin market bitcoin прогнозы ethereum казино ethereum обмен monero bitcoin кликер trade cryptocurrency ubuntu ethereum ethereum википедия android tether скачать bitcoin
