| summary | "Bitcoin from Scratch" is a series of two articles, with Part 1 published on July 3, 2020, and Part 2 on July 10, 2020. Both articles aim to provide a comprehensive introduction to Bitcoin, focusing on the concept of a node in the blockchain network.
Part 1 introduces the basics of Bitcoin, blockchain technology, and the role of nodes in maintaining the network's integrity. It explains how nodes validate transactions, create new blocks, and relay information across the network. The article also discusses the different types of nodes, such as full nodes, lightning node, and mobile wallet nodes.
Part 2 builds upon the foundation laid in Part 1, delving deeper into the functioning of a Bitcoin node. It explains the role of the node's software (Bitcoin Core), its components (e.g., socket layer, consensus engine, blockchain data structure), and how they work together to maintain a copy of the blockchain. The article also covers the concept of synchronization, the process by which a new node becomes up-to-date with the network's current state.
Both articles emphasize the importance of running a full node for understanding Bitcoin better, as well as ensuring the network's decentralization and security. They encourage readers to download and run their own nodes to gain firsthand experience with the Bitcoin network. |
