Hello!

My today's entry is the result of a few weeks' work on creating (probably) the largest dictionary of blockchain technology terms and cryptocurrency in Polish and English (this entry). When I did this I didn't think I would collect so many expressions. At the moment I have collected and described 165 expressions, both secular and more technical. I think that this dictionary will be a very useful thing especially for people taking their first steps in the world of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencys technology.

To easily find the phrase you are interested in, just use the combination Ctrl+F in your browser and type in the search word.

All comments, corrections and even missing phrases are welcome by anyone who wants to add their own contribution :)

ps. my English is not perfect so if you notice any glaring mistakes, please let me know in your comment.

51% Attack

A situation which a majority of miners in the blockchain launch an attack on the rest of the nodes (or users). This kind of attack allows for double spending or stealing assets

ABI - Application Binary Interface

An interface between two binary program modules, often one program is a library and the other being run by a user

Accidental Fork

An Accidental Fork happens when two or more miners find a block almost simultaneously. One chain then becomes longer than the other and the network eventually abandons the blocks that are not in the longer chain. These blocks are then classified as ‘orphaned blocks’.

Address

Address (cryptocurrency address) is used to send and receive transactions on the network. An address usually presents itself as a string of alphanumeric characters. Can also be represented as a scannable QR code.

Aggregated Transactions

Merging multiple transactions into one, allowing trustless swaps, and other advanced logic. Used in NEM.

Alt-Coin

Any cryptocurrency that exists as an alternative to bitcoin. Many altcoins are forks of Bitcoin with minor changes (e.g. Litecoin).

API

Stands for Application Programming Interface, a software intermediary that helps two separate applications communicate with one another. They define methods of communication between various components.

ASIC - Application Specific Integrated Circuit

Short form for ‘Application Specific Integrated Circuit’. Often compared to GPUs, ASICs are specially made for mining and may offer significant power savings. In the case of bitcoin, they are designed to process SHA-256 hashing problems to mine new bitcoins.

ATH - All Time High

Bitcoin

The first, and most popular cryptocurrency based off the decentralized ledger of a blockchain created in 2009. Runs on a global peer to peer network, without the need for middlemen and a centralised issuer. Bitcoin was created by a mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakomoto, and its technology outlined by the white paper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."

Block

Blocks are packages of data that carry permanently recorded data on the blockchain network. Miners for "digging" a block (confirmation of transactions in the network) receive a reward in the form of a cryptocurrency.

Block Explorer

Block explorer is an online tool to view all transactions, past and current, on the blockchain. They provide useful information such as network hash rate and transaction growth.

Block height

Block height refers to the number of blocks connected together in the block chain. For example, Height 0, would be the very first block, which is also called the Genesis Block.

Block Reward

The reward given to a miner which has successfully hashed a transaction block. Block rewards can be a mixture of coins and transaction fees, depending on the policy used by the cryptocurrency in question, and whether all of the coins have already been successfully mined. The current block reward for the Bitcoin network is 12,5 bitcoins for each block.

Blockchain (public)

Blockchain to wspólna księga, w której transakcje są trwale rejestrowane przez dołączane bloki. Blockchain służy jako historyczny zapis wszystkich transakcji, które kiedykolwiek miały miejsce, od bloku genesis do najnowszego bloku, stąd nazwa blockchain.

Otherwise it's a mathematical structure for storing digital transaction (or data) in an immutable, peer-to-peer ledger that is incredibly difficult to fake and yet remains accessible to anyone

Indication that the transaction in blockchain was verified by the (miners) network by extraction and added to the blockchain network. Once a transaction is confirmed, it cannot be reversed or double spent. The more confirmations a transaction has, the harder it becomes to perform a double spend attack.

Consensus

The agreement of all participants of a network on the validity of a transaction. Consensus is achieved when all participants of the network agree on the validity of the transactions, ensuring that the ledgers are exact copies of each other

Consensus Process

The process a group of peers responsible for maintaining a distributed ledger use to reach consensus on the ledger’s contents.

CRUD

Create, retrieve, update, delete

Cryptographic Hash Function

A function that receives an input of any size and returns a unique string of a uniform length.
Cryptographic hashes produce a fixed-size and unique hash value from variable-size transaction input. The SHA-256 computational algorithm is an example of a cryptographic hash.

Cryptography

A method for securing communication using code. The main example of cryptography in cryptocurrency is the symmetric-key cryptography used in the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin addresses generated for the wallet have matching private keys that allow for the spending of the cryptocurrency. The corresponding public key coupled with the private key allows funds to be unlocked. This is one example of cryptography in action.
