Fork (blockchain)
In blockchain, a fork is defined variously as:
"what happens when a blockchain diverges into two potential paths forward"
"a change in protocol" or
a situation that "occurs when two or more blocks have the same block height":glossary
Forks are related to the fact that different parties need to use common rules to maintain the history of the blockchain. When parties are not in agreement, alternative chains may emerge. While most forks are short-lived some are permanent. Short-lived forks are due to the difficulty of reaching fast consensus in a distributed system. Whereas permanent forks (in the sense of protocol changes) have been used to add new features to a blockchain, they can also be used to reverse the effects of hacking such as the case with Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, or avert catastrophic bugs on a blockchain as was the case with the bitcoin fork on 6 August 2010.
Blockchain forks have been widely discussed in the context of the bitcoin scalability problem.
Types of forks
Forks can be classified as accidental or intentional. Accidental fork happens when two or more miners find a block at nearly the same time. The fork is resolved when subsequent block(s) are added and one of the chains becomes longer than the alternative(s). The network abandons the blocks that are not in the longest chain (they are called orphaned blocks).
Intentional forks that modify the rules of a blockchain can be classified as follows:
Hard fork
A hard fork is a rule change such that the software validating according to the old rules will see the blocks produced according to the new rules as invalid. In case of a hard fork, all nodes meant to work in accordance with the new rules need to upgrade their software.
If one group of nodes continues to use the old software while the other nodes use the new software, a permanent split can occur. For example, Ethereum has hard-forked to "make whole" the investors in The DAO, which had been hacked by exploiting a vulnerability in its code. In this case, the fork resulted in a split creating Ethereum and Ethereum Classic chains. In 2014 the Nxt community was asked to consider a hard fork that would have led to a rollback of the blockchain records to mitigate the effects of a theft of 50 million NXT from a major cryptocurrency exchange. The hard fork proposal was rejected, and some of the funds were recovered after negotiations and ransom payment. Alternatively, to prevent a permanent split, a majority of nodes using the new software may return to the old rules, as was the case of bitcoin split on 12 March 2013.
Soft fork
A soft fork or a soft-forking change is described as a fork in the blockchain which can occur when old network nodes do not follow a rule followed by the newly upgraded nodes.:glossary This could cause old nodes to accept data that appear invalid to the new nodes, or become out of sync without the user noticing. This contrasts with a hard-fork, where the node will stop processing blocks following the changed rules instead.
Cryptocurrency splits
A permanent chain split is described as a case when there are two or more permanent versions of a blockchain sharing the same history up to a certain time, after which the histories start to differ. Permanent chain splits lead to a situation when two or more competing cryptocurrencies exist on their respective blockchains.
Taxation
The taxation of cryptocurrency splits varies substantially from state to state.
Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
The ATO does not classify cryptocurrency splits as taxation events. The ATO classifies the versions of the blockchain coming from the splits as the "original blockchain" and the "new blockchain". In relation to the cost base, the cryptocurrency on the original blockchain should be assigned all the original cost base, while the cryptocurrency on the new blockchain should be assigned cost base zero.
HM Revenue %story% Customs (HMRC)
The HMRC does not classify cryptocurrency splits as taxation events. According to HMRC, "The value of the new cryptoassets is derived from the original cryptoassets already held by the individual." In relation to the cost base, HMRC says that "Costs must be split on a just and reasonable basis under section 52(4) Taxation of Capital Gains Act 1992. HMRC does not prescribe any particular apportionment method. HMRC has the power to enquire into an apportionment method that it believes is not just and reasonable."
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
The IRS classifies cryptocurrency splits as "airdrops" and as taxation events. According to the guidance published by IRS, provided the taxpayer is in dominion of the keys, they are obliged to pay tax for the new cryptocurrency using the fair market value of the cryptocurrency as their income.

In return, she must provide something of equal value to Bob. The most efficient way to do this is by using a medium of exchange that Bob accepts which would be classified as currency. Currency makes trade easier by eliminating the need for coincidence of wants required in other systems of trade such as barter. Currency adoption and acceptance can be global, national, or in some cases local or community-based.форумы bitcoin panda bitcoin bitcoin genesis ethereum dark source bitcoin Ethereum (ETH): $38,250,011,417bitcoin транзакция bitcoin xapo bitcoin 3 masternode bitcoin ethereum пулы etoro bitcoin bitcoin algorithm bitcoin blog bitcoin run withdraw bitcoin проект ethereum bitcoin okpay bitcoin doge майнинг tether полевые bitcoin redex bitcoin ethereum сбербанк

But losing physical custody (or either the paper or electronic equipment) is a real possibility, and in those cases recovery of the cryptocurrency holdings can be impossible. For individual holders of bitcoin, the possibility of losing private keys is a risk; for institutional investors, though, it represents an even more significant risk. The latter go to extreme lengths to guard against this danger. Some major investors have even been known to distribute portions of a paper wallet across numerous storage units in different locations.основатель bitcoin datadir bitcoin 999 bitcoin The screenshot below, taken from the site Blockchain.info, might help you put all this information together at a glance. You are looking at a summary of everything that happened when block #490163 was mined. The nonce that generated the 'winning' hash was 731511405. The target hash is shown on top. The term 'Relayed by Antpool' refers to the fact that this particular block was completed by AntPool, one of the more successful mining pools (more about mining pools below). As you see here, their contribution to the Bitcoin community is that they confirmed 1768 transactions for this block. If you really want to see all 1768 of those transactions for this block, go to this page and scroll down to the heading 'Transactions.'ethereum обменять обновление ethereum ethereum address bitcoin co bitcoin group скачать tether bitcoin start bitcoin добыча 500000 bitcoin dance bitcoin карты bitcoin bitcoin golden ecopayz bitcoin nem cryptocurrency bitcoin продать капитализация bitcoin calc bitcoin валюты bitcoin bitcoin x ebay bitcoin ethereum обмен bitcoin landing автоматический bitcoin bitcoin проблемы calculator bitcoin вывести bitcoin kupit bitcoin monero transaction алгоритм ethereum

The easiest way to browse these records or search for an individual block, transaction, or address balance is through a Litecoin block explorer. There are many to select from, and a simple Google search will help you find one that suits your needs.Ethereum is the digital backbone of the Ether (ETH) digital currency. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum relies on blockchain technology to facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) monetary transactions via the internet.genesis bitcoin coinder bitcoin To add a new block to the chain, a miner has to finish what’s called a cryptographic proof-of-work problem. Such problems are impossible to solve without applying a ton of brute computing force, so if you have a solution in hand, it’s proof that you’ve done a certain quantity of computational work. The computational problem is different for every block in the chain, and it involves a particular kind of algorithm called a hash function.платформы ethereum bitcoin блокчейн bitcoin foto асик ethereum биржи monero bitcoin payza community bitcoin pokerstars bitcoin ethereum асик ninjatrader bitcoin tp tether bitcoin продам bitcoin dynamics cubits bitcoin ethereum кошельки stock bitcoin tether js майнеры monero tether yota бумажник bitcoin 50 bitcoin

Witness signatures in 'legacy Bitcoin blocks' often take more than 50% of the block size. By removing witness signatures from the transaction block, this protocol effectively increases the number of transactions that can be stored in a single block, rendering the network capable of handling more transactions per second. As a result, SegWit increases the scalability of Nakamoto consensus-based blockchain networks Litecoin.SegWit also makes transactions cheaper. Since transaction fees are derived from how much data is being processed by the block producer, the more transactions that can be stored in a 1MB block, the cheaper individual transactions become.1) 'Bitcoin is a Bubble'redex bitcoin bitcoin игры bitcoin лохотрон monero новости 5 bitcoin bitcoin waves investment bitcoin bitcoin рулетка bitcoin обменники transactions bitcoin blocks bitcoin форекс bitcoin miningpoolhub monero c bitcoin капитализация ethereum bitcoin реклама bitcoin block playstation bitcoin
