Block chain Broadcasted transaction database since Day 1 (Jan 3
2009) 1 block every 10 minutes (how?) Currently at >6GB
Block Field Purpose Version Client version Previous hash Hash of
previous block Merkle root Hash of transactions Timestamp Current UNIX time Target Target hash Nonce 32-bit number
Target 1 block every 10 minutes (this is how!) A
(max) target hash output Generate lower hash than the target The higher the target is, the harder it is
Target Let’s look back at block’s component and assume that
we want to make a hash with the following output 0x0000000000000fffffffff.....
Target Difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks (2 weeks) Based
on time it takes for the last 2016 blocks Current chance to find a block: 0.0000000000000000303436847859644281966140511030971538275
