=Basic concept=
The ''Tangle'' is a directed acyclic graph (often referred to as DAG). The Tangle is made up of multiple individual nodes, and operates as a type of distributed ledger. This allows for the storing of transactional information and transfer of funds. The Tangle is notably related to the IOTA project, and its quest for a free and decentralized payment system.
==How it differs from the Blockchain==
In ordinary ''layman terms'' the Tangle differs from Bitcoin (and other blockchain based currencies) in the following way: The blockchain can only process one transaction at a time, which has led to congestion as more users begin to utilize the network. Each transaction is then verified by multiple parties (called miners), before it is added to the central ledger. On the other hand, the Tangle carries no economic incentive. Instead, it is designed in a way that requires all users to verify two transactions each time they wish to carry out one of their own. As more users begin to utilize the Tangle, the collective hashing power will increase and provide for faster transactions.

=Hi and welcome to my Wiki-profile!=

I'm Pål from Norway. My daytime job is working as a database-admin on [https://www.refinansiere.net refinansiere.net], focusing on MySQL. I'm currently trying to convince my employer to integrate cryptocurrencies as a payment method on one of our websites: . Cryptocurrencies is more of a side-job and a passion I've developed over the years. As with databases, I have a couple favorites which include Ethereum, IOTA and Litecoin.
