|website=[https://www.coinbase.com/ coinbase.com]}}'''Coinbase''' is a hosted web-based [[eWallet]] used for sending, receiving, and storing bitcoins. Users can also connect a U.S. based bank account to buy and sell bitcoin via bank transfer.<br />
<br />
The service aims to be the easiest way to get started with Bitcoin, modeled to provide an experience familiar to those who are comfortable using PayPal.<br />
<br />
==Transactions==<br />
<br />
===Buy Bitcoin===<br />
<br />
Coinbase allows users to purchase bitcoin by directly transferring money from a bank account. Although the exchange rate is locked in at the time of order placement, the Bitcoin is not released for four business days. Verified users are allowed to create instant-purchases, which credits the Bitcoin to their account before the bank transfer clears. <br />
<br />
Linking a bank account can be done using Instant Account Verification (by providing your bank account credentials) or through a Challenge Deposit method which takes 2-3 business days to complete. The bank verification process is very similar to the relevant procedure at PayPal.<br />
<br />
===Sell Bitcoin===<br />
<br />
Proceeds from selling bitcoins are sent as a direct ACH transfer to a linked bank account. The price is locked upon executing the sell and the funds arrive in the bank account in 2-3 business days. <br />
<br />
===Send Money===<br />
<br />
This feature provides the ability to send bitcoin to both email and Bitcoin addresses. The amount of bitcoin sent can be determined by entering a value in either USD (converted to Bitcoin based on the current exchange rate) or Bitcoin.

|website=[https://www.coinbase.com/ coinbase.com]}}'''Coinbase''' is a hosted web-based [[eWallet]] used for sending, receiving, and storing bitcoins. Users can also connect a U.S. based bank account to buy and sell bitcoin via bank transfer.<br />
<br />
The service aims to be the easiest way to get started with Bitcoin, modeled to provide an experience familiar to those who are comfortable using PayPal.<br />
<br />
==Transactions==<br />
<br />
===Buy Bitcoin===<br />
<br />
Coinbase allows users to purchase bitcoin by directly transferring money from a bank account. Although the exchange rate is locked in at the time of order placement, the Bitcoin is not released for four business days. Verified users are allowed to create instant-purchases, which credits the Bitcoin to their account before the bank transfer clears. <br />
<br />
Linking a bank account can be done using Instant Account Verification (by providing your bank account credentials) or through a Challenge Deposit method which takes 2-3 business days to complete. The bank verification process is very similar to the relevant procedure at PayPal.<br />
<br />
===Sell Bitcoin===<br />
<br />
Proceeds from selling bitcoins are sent as a direct ACH transfer to a linked bank account. The price is locked upon executing the sell and the funds arrive in the bank account in 2-3 business days. <br />
<br />
===Send Money===<br />
<br />
This feature provides the ability to send bitcoin to both email and Bitcoin addresses. The amount of bitcoin sent can be determined by entering a value in either USD (converted to Bitcoin based on the current exchange rate) or Bitcoin. If bitcoin is sent to an email address not currently registered with Coinbase, an account will automatically be created and a message will be sent to that email address prompting the user to verify the account and claim the bitcoin.<br />

|website=[https://www.coinbase.com/ coinbase.com]}}'''Coinbase''' is a hosted web-based [[eWallet]] used for sending, receiving, and storing bitcoins. Users can also connect a U.S. based bank account to buy and sell bitcoin via bank transfer.<br />
<br />
The service aims to be the easiest way to get started with Bitcoin, modeled to provide an experience familiar to those who are comfortable using PayPal.<br />
<br />
==Transactions==<br />
<br />
===Buy Bitcoin===<br />
<br />
Coinbase allows users to purchase bitcoin by directly transferring money from a bank account. Although the exchange rate is locked in at the time of order placement, the Bitcoin is not released for four business days. Verified users are allowed to create instant-purchases, which credits the Bitcoin to their account before the bank transfer clears. <br />
<br />
Linking a bank account can be done using Instant Account Verification (by providing your bank account credentials) or through a Challenge Deposit method which takes 2-3 business days to complete. The bank verification process is very similar to the relevant procedure at PayPal.<br />
<br />
===Sell Bitcoin===<br />
<br />
Proceeds from selling bitcoins are sent as a direct ACH transfer to a linked bank account. The price is locked upon executing the sell and the funds arrive in the bank account in 2-3 business days. <br />
<br />
===Send Money===<br />
<br />
This feature provides the ability to send bitcoin to both email and Bitcoin addresses. The amount of bitcoin sent can be determined by entering a value in either USD (converted to Bitcoin based on the current exchange rate) or Bitcoin. If bitcoin is sent to an email address not currently registered with Coinbase, an account will automatically be created and a message will be sent to that email address prompting the user to verify the account and claim the bitcoin.<br />
<br />
===Request Money===<br />
<br />
This feature provides the ability to request funds (denominated in either USD or BTC) through an invoice which is sent by email.<br />
<br />
===Exchange===<br />
<br />
On January 26, 2015 Coinbase announced via a blog post <ref>[http://blog.coinbase.com/post/109202118547/coinbase-launches-first-regulated-bitcoin-exchange Coinbase Launches First Regulated Bitcoin Exchange in the U.S.]</ref> they were launching a United States based and US regulated bitcoin exchange.

Coinbase is insured against employee theft and hacking in an amount that exceeds the average value of online bitcoin it holds at any given time.

<br />
Coinbase has held this insurance since November 2013 with highly rated carriers (S&P rating of A+ or A.M. Best Rating of A XV or higher).<br />
<br />
This insurance policy does not cover damages resulting from a specific user's loss, such as the losses resulting from a compromise of the user's login credentials. Coinbase's insurance also contains standard policy exclusions (e.x. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_majeure force majeure]).

<hr />
<div>The '''testnet''' is an alternative Bitcoin [[block chain]], to be used for testing. This allows application developers or bitcoin testers to experiment, without having to use real bitcoins or worrying about breaking the main bitcoin chain.<br />
<br />
Run bitcoin or bitcoind with the -testnet flag to use the testnet (or put testnet=1 in the bitcoin.conf file).<br />
<br />
There have been three generations of testnet. Testnet2 was just the first testnet reset with a different genesis block, because people were starting to trade testnet coins for real money. '''Testnet3''' is the current test network. It was introduced with the 0.7 release, introduced a third genesis block, a new rule to avoid the "difficulty was too high, is now too low, and transactions take too long to verify" problem, and contains blocks with edge-case transactions designed to test implementation compatibility.<br />
<br />
==Differences==<br />
* Default Bitcoin network protocol listen port is 18333 (instead of 8333)<br />
* Default RPC connection port is 18332 (instead of 8332)<br />
* Bootstrapping uses different DNS seeds.<br />
* A different value of ADDRESSVERSION field ensures no testnet Bitcoin addresses will work on the production network. (0x6F rather than 0x00)<br />
* The protocol message header bytes are 0x0B110907 (instead of 0xF9BEB4D9) <br />
* Minimum [[difficulty]] of 1.0 on testnet is equal to difficulty of 0.5 on mainnet. This means that the mainnet-equivalent of any testnet difficulty is half the testnet difficulty. In addition, if no block has been found in 20 minutes, the difficulty automatically resets back to the minimum for a single block, after which it returns to its previous value.<br />
* A new genesis block<br />
* The IsStandard() check is disabled so that non-standard transactions can be experimented with.<br />
<br />
==Genesis Block==<br />
<br />
Testnet uses a different genesis block to the main network. You can find it [https://www.biteasy.com/testnet/blocks/000000000933ea01ad0ee984209779baaec3ced90fa3f408719526f8d77f4943 here] or [http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/b/0 here].<br />
The testnet was reset with a new genesis block for the 0.7 bitcoin release.<br />

<div>== What is Litecoin? ==<br />
Litecoin is an alternative cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin. It differs from Bitcoin in that it targets a faster block rate (2.5 minutes) and uses scrypt for the primary hashing done in mining. MtGox announced in April 2013 that they would add support for Litecoin trading, a plan that was delayed due to recent DDOS attacks.<br />
<br />
While scrypt was claimed to be resistant to GPU-based mining early on, GPUs are currently the most efficient hardware with which to mine Litecoins.<br />
One of the aims of Litecoin was to provide a mining algorithm that did not compete with Bitcoin.<br />
<br />
In April 2013, Litecoin reached a market cap of $70 million and achieved a network strength above 12 gigahashes/second. This compares roughly to a network strength for Bitcoin of 12 terahashes/second.<br />
<br />
== Differences from Bitcoin ==<br />
<br />
==== Scrypt Proof of Work ====<br />
Litecoin uses scrypt as a proof-of-work scheme. Scrypt adds memory-intensive algorithms to reduce the efficiency of the kind of parallelization that GPUs offered in early Bitcoin mining. This led to Litecoin primarily being mined with CPUs at the beginning. CPU-based mining has been challenged by the appearance of more energy-efficient GPU-based mining around July/August of 2012 bringing a roughly ten-fold increase in network hashing strength. GPUs are currently the dominant Litecoin mining technology.<br />
<br />
Scrypt has been less widely used and analyzed than the SHA2 hashing algorithm used in Bitcoin, so there is some concern about possible weaknesses in its cryptographic scheme being discovered in the future.<br />
<br />
==== Faster Blocks ====<br />
The Litecoin blockchain differs from Bitcoin in that it generates blocks every 2.5 minutes on average (four times Bitcoin's rate).<br />
This means that merchants who accept transactions only 1 block deep get that confirmation quicker.<br />
However, it should be noted that more blocks are required to achieve the same amount of confirmation strength as Bitcoin (6 blocks of litecoin are not equivalent to 6 blocks of bitcoin).<br />
Unfortunately, this increases the number of hashes that are wasted in mining since miners will be working from the non-best block more of the time.<br />
<br />
==== 84 Million Litecoins ====<br />
Litecoin started with miners generating 50 coins per block as with Bitcoin, but to maintain Bitcoin's inflation rate chage schedule, the block reward gets halved every 840,000 blocks. As a result, the network is scheduled to produce a total of 84 million litecoins.<br />
<br />
==== Different Addresses ====<br />
<br />
Litecoin addresses start with L due to their version number. Otherwise, they are generated identically to Bitcoin addresses.<br />
<br />
==== (Slight) Premining ====<br />
Litecoin had two blocks premined, one more than the minimum single genesis block needed to start a block chain.<br />
<br />
==Criticism==<br />
==== Redundancy ====<br />
<!-- NOTE: scrypt is not a feature, since it is a flaw --><br />
Besides a faster first confirmation, Litecoin does not provide any other features over what Bitcoin provides.<br />
Because of this lack of innovation, some believe Litecoin is unlikely to match or surpass Bitcoin's value or user-base.<br />
It remains to be seen if the use of a different mining algorithm and faster block times add sufficient value for Litecoin's long-term survival.<br />
<br />
==== Not Silver to Gold ====<br />
Some argue that Litecoin cannot make sense as "silver to bitcoin's gold", because Bitcoin itself is both gold and silver:<br />
While in the long-run, the BTC unit may be too valuable for everyday trade ("gold"), there are other, much smaller [[units]] that can just as well serve the purpose of "silver" while being naturally/automatically "converted" to/from BTC.<br />
<br />
==== Vulnerability to mining monopoly ====<br />
<br />
Similarly to Bitcoin, Litecoin can be attacked by an entity that can match or exceed the hashrate of the network. Such a "51% attack" becomes more difficult to launch and maintain as the hash rate of the network grows. However, this argument posits that Litecoin is designed to be inefficient on all common computer components (both CPUs and GPUs) meaning that a malicious entity need only produce a small batch of specialized/custom hardware to overtake all the commodity mining systems combined.<br />
<br />
===== Memory bandwidth refutation =====<br />
Some attempt to refute this by arguing that scrypt is not designed to be inefficient, but is instead designed to be highly dependent on memory bandwidth.<br />
Since the high-speed cache RAM on modern processors already takes up most of the die space, no sizeable improvement could then be made by creating custom chips.<br />
If we accept this argument we then estimate the cost of attack utilizing GPUs that are avilable today. <br />
<br />
To do so we start with an estimated cost of hardware at $400 per megahashes per second and the October 2013 Litecoin network hashrate of 30 gigahashes per second.<br />
The total amount of equipment necessary to match and takeover the Litecoin network via 51% attack is then an estimated $12M USD (or about 45,000 AMD HD 7950s).<br />
<br />
==== Pump and Dump Scheme ====<br />
According to some, one or more of the aforementioned reasons imply that Litecoin has no future potential, and therefore effectively functions as a [http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pumpanddump.asp "pump and dump" scheme], rewarding those who get in sooner at the expense of those who adopt it just before it finally fails (and are left with nothing).<br />
<br />
Additionally, people often complain that the Litecoin community misrepresents it in other ways, such as portraying "faster block times" as if it makes transactions faster, and scrypt as if it is resistant to ASIC or FPGA hardware, in order to pretend Litecoin has value and inflate its value.<br />
<br />
It's important to note, generally these critics do not think that Litecoin/Blockchain currencies are pump and dump schemes "per se"; but rather that the existing network effect of Bitcoin, combined with the lack of meaningful differentiation between Litecoin and Bitcoin and Litecoin's adoption of a "designed to fail" proof-of-work algorithm; that Litecoin is bound to fail in the end. Bitcoin does not suffer from these "flaws" and therefore does not fall under the "pump and dump" scheme, according to this argument.<br />

Besides a faster first confirmation, Litecoin does not provide any other features over what Bitcoin provides.<br />
Because of this lack of innovation, some believe Litecoin is unlikely to match or surpass Bitcoin's value or user-base.<br />
It remains to be seen if the use of a different mining algorithm and faster block times add sufficient value for Litecoin's long-term survival.<br />
<br />
==== Not Silver to Gold ====<br />
Some argue that Litecoin cannot make sense as "silver to bitcoin's gold", because Bitcoin itself is both gold and silver:<br />
While in the long-run, the BTC unit may be too valuable for everyday trade ("gold"), there are other, much smaller [[units]] that can just as well serve the purpose of "silver" while being naturally/automatically "converted" to/from BTC.<br />
<br />
==== Vulnerability to mining monopoly ====<br />
<br />
Similarly to Bitcoin, Litecoin can be attacked by an entity that can match or exceed the hashrate of the network. Such a "51% attack" becomes more difficult to launch and maintain as the hash rate of the network grows. However, this argument posits that Litecoin is designed to be inefficient on all common computer components (both CPUs and GPUs) meaning that a malicious entity need only produce a small batch of specialized/custom hardware to overtake all the commodity mining systems combined.<br />
<br />
===== Memory bandwidth refutation =====<br />
Some attempt to refute this by arguing that scrypt is not designed to be inefficient, but is instead designed to be highly dependent on memory bandwidth.<br />
Since the high-speed cache RAM on modern processors already takes up most of the die space, no sizeable improvement could then be made by creating custom chips.<br />
If we accept this argument we then estimate the cost of attack utilizing GPUs that are avilable today. <br />
<br />
To do so we start with an estimated cost of hardware at $400 per megahashes per second and the October 2013 Litecoin network hashrate of 30 gigahashes per second.<br />
The total amount of equipment necessary to match and takeover the Litecoin network via 51% attack is then an estimated $12M USD (or about 45,000 AMD HD 7950s).<br />
<br />
==== Pump and Dump Scheme ====<br />
According to some, one or more of the aforementioned reasons imply that Litecoin has no future potential, and therefore effectively functions as a [http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/pumpanddump.asp "pump and dump" scheme], rewarding those who get in sooner at the expense of those who adopt it just before it finally fails (and are left with nothing).<br />
<br />
Additionally, people often complain that the Litecoin community misrepresents it in other ways, such as portraying "faster block times" as if it makes transactions faster, and scrypt as if it is resistant to ASIC or FPGA hardware, in order to pretend Litecoin has value and inflate its value.<br />
<br />
It's important to note, generally these critics do not think that Litecoin/Blockchain currencies are pump and dump schemes "per se"; but rather that the existing network effect of Bitcoin, combined with the lack of meaningful differentiation between Litecoin and Bitcoin and Litecoin's adoption of a "designed to fail" proof-of-work algorithm; that Litecoin is bound to fail in the end. Bitcoin does not suffer from these "flaws" and therefore does not fall under the "pump and dump" scheme, according to this argument.<br />

<div>[[File:blockchain.png|thumb|Blocks in the main chain (black) are the longest series of blocks that go from the genesis block (green) to the current block. Purple blocks are blocks that are not in the longest chain and therefore not used.]]<br />
<br />
A '''block chain''' is a transaction database shared by all [[Node|nodes]] participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency's block chain contains every [[transaction]] ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each [[address]] at any point in history.<br />
<br />
Every [[block]] contains a [[hash]] of the previous block. This has the effect of creating a chain of blocks from the [[genesis block]] to the current block. Each block is guaranteed to come after the previous block chronologically because the previous block's hash would otherwise not be known. Each block is also computationally impractical to modify once it has been in the chain for a while because every block after it would also have to be regenerated. These properties are what make [[double-spending]] of bitcoins very difficult. The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin.<br />
<br />
Honest generators only build onto a block (by referencing it in blocks they create) if it is the latest block in the longest valid chain. "Length" is calculated as total combined difficulty of that chain, not number of blocks, though this distinction is only important in the context of a few potential attacks. A chain is valid if all of the blocks and transactions within it are valid, and only if it starts with the genesis block.<br />
<br />
For any block on the chain, there is only one path to the genesis block. Coming from the genesis block, however, there can be forks. One-block forks are created from time to time when two blocks are created just a few seconds apart. When that happens, generating nodes build onto whichever one of the blocks they received first. Whichever block ends up being included in the next block becomes part of the main chain because that chain is longer. More serious forks have occurred after fixing bugs that required backward-incompatible changes.<br />
<br />
Blocks in shorter chains (or invalid chains) are not used for anything. When the bitcoin client switches to another, longer chain, all valid transactions of the blocks inside the shorter chain are re-added to the pool of queued transactions and will be included in another block. The reward for the blocks on the shorter chain will not be present in the longest chain, so they will be practically lost, which is why a network-enforced 100-block maturation time for generations exists.<br />
<br />
These blocks on the shorter chains are often called "orphan" blocks. This is because the generation transactions do not have a parent block in the longest chain, so these generation transactions show up as orphan in the listtransactions RPC call. Several pools have misinterpreted these messages and started calling their blocks "orphans". In reality, these blocks have a parent block, and might even have children.<br />
<br />
Because a block can only reference one previous block, it is impossible for two forked chains to merge.<br />
<br />
It's possible to use the block chain algorithm for non-financial purposes: see [[Alternative chain]].<br />
<br />
The block chain is broadcasted to all nodes on the networking using a flood protocol: see [[Block chain download]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The purpose of this page is to provide a general overview of the Bitcoin system and economy.<br />
<br />
==Basic Concepts==<br />
<br />
===Currency===<br />
<br />
Alice wants to buy the [http://www.grasshillalpacas.com/alpacaproductsforbitcoinoffer.html Alpaca socks] which Bob has for sale. In return, she must provide something of equal value to Bob. The most efficient way to do this is by using a medium of exchange that Bob accepts which would be classified as currency. Currency makes trade easier by eliminating the need for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence_of_wants coincidence of wants] required in other systems of trade such as barter. Currency adoption and acceptance can be global, national, or in some cases local or community-based.<br />
<br />
===Banks===<br />
<br />
Alice need not provide currency to Bob in-person. She may instead transfer this value by first entrusting her currency to a bank who promises to store and protect Alice's currency notes. The bank gives Alice a written promise (called a "bank statement") that entitles her to withdraw the same number of currency bills that she deposited. Since the money is still Alice's, she is entitled to do with it whatever she pleases, and the bank (like most banks), for a small fee, will do Alice the service of passing on the currency bills to Bob on her behalf. This is done by Alice's bank by giving the dollar bills to Bob's bank and informing them that the money is for Bob, who will then see the amount the next time he checks his balance or receives his bank statement.<br />
<br />
Since banks have many customers, and bank employees require money for doing the job of talking to people and signing documents, banks in recent times have been using machines such as ATMs and web servers that do the job of interacting with customers instead of paid bank employees. The task of these machines is to learn what each customer wants to do with their money and, to the extent that it is possible, act on what the customer wants (for example, ATMs can hand out cash). Customers can always know how much money they have in their accounts, and they are confident that the numbers they see in their bank statements and on their computer screens accurately reflect the number of dollars that they can get from the bank on demand. They can be so sure of this that they can accept those numbers in the same way they accept paper banknotes (this is similar to the way people started accepting paper dollars when they had been accepting gold or silver).<br />
<br />
Such a system has several disadvantages:<br />
* It is costly. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_funds_transfer EFTs] in Europe can cost 25 euros. Credit transactions can cost several percent of the transaction.<br />
* It is slow. Checking and low cost wire services take days to complete.<br />
* In most cases, it cannot be anonymous.<br />
* Accounts can be frozen, or their balance partially or wholly confiscated.<br />
* Banks and other payment processors like PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard may refuse to process payments for certain legal entities. <br />
<br />
<br />
Bitcoin is a system of owning and voluntarily transferring amounts of so-called ''bitcoins'', in a manner similar to an on-line banking, but pseudonymously and without reliance on a central authority to maintain account balances. If bitcoins are valuable, it is because they are useful and limited in supply.<br />
<br />
==Bitcoin Basics==<br />
<br />
===Creation of coins===<br />
The creation of coins must be limited for the currency to have any value. <br />
<br />
New coins are slowly [[Mining|mined]] into existence by following a mutually agreed-upon set of rules. A user [[Mining|mining]] bitcoins is running a software program that searches tirelessly for a solution to a very difficult math problem whose difficulty is precisely known. The difficulty is automatically adjusted regularly so that the number of solutions found globally, by everyone, for a given unit of time is constant: an average of 6 per hour. When a solution is found, the user may tell everyone of the existence of this newly found solution, along with other information, packaged together in what is called a "[[Block|block]]". <br />
<br />
Blocks create 25 new bitcoins at present. This amount, known as the block reward, is an incentive for people to perform the computation work required for generating blocks. Roughly every 4 years, the number of bitcoins that can be "mined" in a block reduces by 50%. Originally the block reward was 50 bitcoins; it halved in November 2012. Any block that is created by a malicious user that does not follow this rule (or any other rules) will be rejected by everyone else. In the end, no more than 21 million bitcoins will ever exist. <br />
<br />
Because the block reward will decrease over the long term, miners will some day instead pay for their hardware and electricity costs by collecting [[Transaction_fee|transaction fees]]. The sender of money may voluntarily pay a small transaction fee which will be kept by whoever finds the next block. Paying this fee will encourage miners to include the transaction in a block more quickly.<br />
<br />
===Sending payments===<br />
To guarantee that a third-party, let's call her Eve, cannot spend other people's bitcoins by creating transactions in their names, Bitcoin uses [[Wikipedia:Public-key_cryptography|public key cryptography]] to make and verify digital signatures. In this system, each person, such as Alice or Bob, has one or more addresses each with an associated pair of public and private keys that they may hold in a [[Wallet|wallet]]. Only the user with the private key can sign a transaction to give some of their bitcoins to somebody else, but anyone can validate the signature using that user’s public key.<br />
<br />
Suppose Alice wants to send a bitcoin to Bob.<br />
* Bob sends his address to Alice.<br />
* Alice adds Bob’s address and the amount of bitcoins to transfer to a message: a 'transaction' message.<br />
* Alice signs the transaction with her private key, and announces her public key for signature verification.<br />
* Alice broadcasts the transaction on the Bitcoin network for all to see.<br />
<br />
(Only the first two steps require human action. The rest is done by the Bitcoin client software.)<br />
<br />
Looking at this transaction from the outside, anyone who knows that these addresses belong to Alice and Bob can see that Alice has agreed to transfer the amount to Bob, because nobody else has Alice's private key. Alice would be foolish to give her private key to other people, as this would allow them to sign transactions in her name, removing funds from her control.<br />
<br />
Later on, when Bob wishes to transfer the same bitcoins to Charley, he will do the same thing:<br />
* Charlie sends Bob his address.<br />
* Bob adds Charlie's address and the amount of bitcoins to transfer to a message: a 'transaction' message.<br />
* Bob signs the transaction with his private key, and announces his public key for signature verification.<br />
* Bob broadcasts the transaction on the Bitcoin network for all to see.<br />
<br />
Only Bob can do this because only he has the private key that can create a valid signature for the transaction.<br />
<br />
Eve cannot change whose coins these are by replacing Bob’s address with her address, because Alice signed the transfer to Bob using her own private key, which is kept secret from Eve, and instructing that the coins which were hers now belong to Bob. So if Charlie accepts that the original coin was in the hands of Alice, he will also accept the fact that this coin was later passed to Bob, and now Bob is passing this same coin to him.<br />
<br />
===Preventing [[double-spending]]===<br />
The process described above does not prevent Alice from using the same bitcoins in more than one transaction. The following process does; this is the primary innovation behind Bitcoin.<br />
<br />
* Details about the [[Transactions|transaction]] are [[Network|sent and forwarded]] to all or as many other computers as possible.<br />
* A constantly growing chain of [[Blocks|blocks]] that contains a record of all transactions is collectively maintained by all computers (each has a full copy).<br />
* To be accepted in the chain, transaction blocks must be valid and must include [[proof of work]] (one block generated by the network every 10 minutes).<br />
* Blocks are chained in a way so that, if any one is modified, all following blocks will have to be recomputed.<br />
* When multiple valid continuations to this chain appear, only the longest such branch is accepted and it is then extended further.<br />
<br />
When Bob sees that his transaction has been included in a block, which has been made part of the single longest and fastest-growing block chain (extended with significant computational effort), he can be confident that the transaction by Alice has been accepted by the computers in the network and is permanently recorded, preventing Alice from creating a second transaction with the same coin. In order for Alice to thwart this system and double-spend her coins, she would need to muster more computing power than all other Bitcoin users combined.<br />
<br />
===Anonymity===<br />
When it comes to the Bitcoin network itself, there are no "accounts" to set up, and no e-mail addresses, user-names or passwords are required to hold or spend bitcoins. Each balance is simply associated with an address and its public-private key pair. The money "belongs" to anyone who has the private key and can sign transactions with it. Moreover, those keys do not have to be registered anywhere in advance, as they are only used when required for a transaction. Transacting parties do not need to know each other's identity in the same way that a store owner does not know a cash-paying customer's name.<br />
<br />
A [[Address|Bitcoin address]] mathematically corresponds to a public key and looks like this:<br />
<br />
:1PC9aZC4hNX2rmmrt7uHTfYAS3hRbph4UN<br />
<br />
Each person can have many such addresses, each with its own balance, which makes it very difficult to know which person owns what amount. In order to protect his [[Anonymity|privacy]], Bob can generate a new public-private key pair for each individual receiving transaction and the Bitcoin software encourages this behavior by default. Continuing the example from above, when Charlie receives the bitcoins from Bob, Charlie will not be able to identify who owned the bitcoins before Bob.<br />
<br />
===Capitalization / Nomenclature===<br />
Since Bitcoin is both a currency and a protocol, capitalization can be confusing. Accepted practice is to use ''Bitcoin'' (singular with an upper case letter B) to label the protocol, software, and community, and ''bitcoins'' (with a lower case b) to label units of the currency.<br />

==Where to see and explore==<br />
You can directly explore the system in action by visiting [https://www.biteasy.com/ Biteasy.com], [http://blockchain.info/ Blockchain.info], [http://btc.blockr.io/ Blokr.io Bitcoin Block Explorer] or [http://blockexplorer.com/ Bitcoin Block Explorer].<br />
The site shows you the latest blocks in the block chain. The [[Block_chain|block chain]] contains the agreed history of all transactions that took place in the system.<br />
Note how many blocks were generated in the last hour, which on average will be 6. Also notice the number of transactions and the total amount transferred in the last hour (last time I checked it was about 64 and 15K).<br />
This should give you an indication of how active the system is.<br />
<br />
Next, navigate to one of these blocks.<br />
The block's [[hash]] begins with a run of zeros. This is what made creating the block so difficult; a hash that begins with many zeros is much more difficult to find than a hash with few or no zeros. The computer that generated this block had to try many ''Nonce'' values (also listed on the block's page) until it found one that generated this run of zeros.<br />
Next, see the line titled ''Previous block''. Each block contains the hash of the block that came before it. This is what forms the chain of blocks.<br />
Now take a look at all the transactions the block contains. The first transaction is the income earned by the computer that generated this block. It includes a fixed amount of coins created out of "thin air" and possibly a fee collected from other transactions in the same block.<br />
<br />
Drill down into any of the transactions and you will see how it is made up of one or more amounts coming in and out.<br />
Having more than one incoming and outgoing amount in a transaction enables the system to join and break amounts in any possible way, allowing for any fractional amount needed. Each incoming amount is a past transaction (which you can also view) from someone's address, and each outgoing amount is addressed to someone and will be part of a future transaction (which you can also navigate down into if it has already taken place.)<br />
<br />
Finally you can follow any of the [[Address|addresses]] links and see what public information is available for them.<br />
<br />
To get an impression of the amount of activity on the Bitcoin network, you might like to visit the monitoring websites [[Bitcoin Monitor]] and [[Bitcoin Watch]]. The first shows a real-time visualization of events on the Bitcoin network, and the second lists general statistics on the amount and size of recent transactions.<br />
<br />
===How many people use Bitcoin?===<br />
<br />
This is quite a difficult question to answer accurately. One approach is to count how many bitcoin clients connected to the network in the last 24 hours. We can do this because some clients transmit their addresses to the other members of the network periodically. In September 2011 this method suggested that there were about {{formatnum:60000}} users.<br />
