Oct 09, 2024 at 08:11 pm

How Bitcoin Core Works
  1. Initialization
    • The Bitcoin Core software is downloaded and installed on a computer.
    • The software creates a local copy of the blockchain, which is a record of all Bitcoin transactions.
  2. Wallet creation
    • A user creates a Bitcoin wallet.
    • The wallet generates a public address and a private key.
  3. Transaction creation
    • A user wants to send Bitcoin to another user.
    • The user creates a transaction, which includes the amount of Bitcoin to be sent, the recipient's public address, and the user's signature.
  4. Transaction broadcasting
    • The user broadcasts the transaction to the Bitcoin network.
    • The transaction is picked up by other nodes on the network and relayed to all other nodes.
  5. Transaction verification
    • Nodes on the network verify the transaction.
    • They check that the transaction is valid, that the sender has enough Bitcoin, and that the signature is correct.
  6. Transaction confirmation
    • If the transaction is valid, it is added to the blockchain.
    • The transaction is now confirmed and cannot be reversed.
  7. Transaction completion
    • Once the transaction is added to the blockchain, it is complete.
    • The recipient can now spend the Bitcoin.
