The distributed ledger that is the Blockchain is an important tool in securing the financial history of Bitcoin. It records every Bitcoin ever released, as well as all of the transactions that have been made since Bitcoin started. This successfully solves the double spending problem that previous attempts for a digital currency have encountered.

Malicious attacks on the network are possible, also orphaned blocks might appear. In order to protect your long-term interest when making Bitcoin transactions, it’s important to wait for at least six network confirmations before deciding that the transaction is safe from an attack. You can consider waiting for additional confirmations in the case of a high-value transaction. As a rule of thumb, the security of any individual transaction is closely related to its age, with older transactions being far more resistant to change when compared to new transactions.

Additionally, learn more about the positive and negative implications of Blockchain technology and discover the future potential of this technology independent of Bitcoin.

The process of mining is essentially a cryptographic process that is energy-intensive. It is one of the most important features about Bitcoin that enables its operation. Miners receive a Bitcoin reward for completing a block, and they are competing to be the first ones to provide valid “proof of work” hashes to the network.

According to the rules of the network, Bitcoin mining takes place over 2016 block, which should be finished in exactly two weeks. The network compares the completion of this set of blocks against the target and modifies the network difficulty for the next ones. Essentially this means that mining blocks becomes either easier or harder as soon as 2016 blocks have passed.

Miners provide timestamps and they number the blocks consistently, so the network can easily keep track of the completed work and it changes the difficulty of mining accordingly.

You can learn more about this process here.
