Hi Andreas I just want to give a big shoutout to you from Indonesia! I really hope that you are always well, and you are the voice of the people who does not have a voice. A lot of people are impacted positively in ways no one can imagine indirectly by your work without them ever knowing it! I hope that you will pay a visit to Indonesia, I'd be glad to be your host and bring you around in Jakarta
0:02 - What is the expected pattern that a hash is reviewed against to determine a valid block? 2:56 - What do you mean by transaction validation? How does that process work? 6:39 - What is the difference between miners and nodes? 8:33 - What are the upload and download requirements for an internet connection to be okay with Bitcoin nodes? 9:44 - Does the block need to be finished for the validation of all its transactions? 11:07 - Why should I run a full node if I am not a miner? 13:39 - On what basis does my node connect to other nodes? Can I be cheated and connect to dishonest nodes? 15:44 - Could someone create enough virtual lieutenants to bring down the General and replace him with a new one of their choice - conduct a blockchain coup d'état, as it were? (Sybil attack) 18:08 - How does the network verify that the winning miner solution was correct? How many times is the solution verified, and by how many network participants? 19:59 - On my response about cutting connections with a node that is lying, do all nodes find it at the same time? Can there be a mixed understanding of what is an invalid node? How is consensus found? ---------- Thanks for the valuable content Andreas!
Cool insights.. I also embrace you plain background with out any propaganda, or anything to influence your followers to copy into their mind/life.. unique andreas 👍
Fantastic! Andreas, you make my day and make me feel good for following this amazing knowledge rabbit hole that you generously keep sharing with those who want to improve the world through this beautiful invention. Thank you Andreas...:-)
Hi, I have some questions do the miners validate transactions ? should the transaction spread across the network until it reaches all the nodes ? do the nodes conserve the same mempool ? do miners keep a copy of the mempool? which inciste nodes to validate transactions ? finally I want to know what is the difference between a wallet and the Bitcoin client ?
Whats the difference between running a full node on public ip and non public? As far as u understand this, all those 100k passive nodes are behind ISP ip and are not visible for others, so 100k nodes are just downloading all info from that 15k visible nodes? How can we check the trx status in full node wallet? I dont see there any option for that.. Thanks for all that years of educating the world about this great invention in the most friendly and understandable way Andreas!
How do other nodes verify that the hash of a new block actually came from solving an algorithm rather than someone typing a bunch of characters that collectively constitute a number below the target difficulty?
What would happen if your node was in the process of validating a transaction and you reset your machine/server? Would the transaction be held in a paused status until the node was brought back online?
Better to trust a few others than to rely on your own node. Because the information from your node may be compromised but it is less likely several others are all compromised at the same time
