RE: Building a Blockchain in Under 15 Minutes - Programmer explains
Thank you very much. I keep improving my knowledge. A question.
The hash algorithm seems to be a command in the software or programming language being used, right. Is this algorithm always the same? If you hash the same document with Java and with Linux , for example: will you get the same hash, the same digital signature, de same number? On the other hand: who programs this has? The programmer that programmed the hash seems to have an advantage here, or not?
There are different hashing algorithms, whenever you want to use a hasing function you usually pick one of the standards in the industry, if you would start your project you wouldn't "invent" your own hashing algorithm :) Because cryptos are generally open source anyone can check which hashing function is used and be sure that it's a good one
