Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S11W5 : Steem blockchain age
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying life with the blessings of Allah Almighty. I am happy to take part in the exciting challenge hosted by SteemitCryptoAcademy community' Contest (ENG/ESP)Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S11W5 : Steem blockchain age || Edad de Steem blockchain. So, without any further delay, let's dive right in!
What is the Genesis blockchain? Explain its meaning. Show screenshot of the Genesis block of the Steem blockchain. |
|---|
The Genesis blockchain refers to the initial and foundational of blockchain within a blockchain ecosystem. It serves as the basis upon which subsequent blockchains, often known as child blockchains, are developed. This concept aims to enhance scalability, interoperability, and overall performance in blockchain networks.
In this framework, the Genesis blockchain typically refer to governs the overall consensus rules, set of security mechanisms, and overarching network parameters. Child blockchains are created to cater to specific use cases or applications, inheriting the security and consensus features of the Genesis blockchain. These child blockchains can process transactions and execute smart contracts tailored to their respective objectives, while still benefiting from the security provided by the main Genesis blockchain.
This approach allows for more specialized and mor efficient solutions while maintaining the integrity and security of the original blockchain network system . The concept of a Genesis blockchain exemplifies the evolving nature of blockchain technology to address diverse and complex requirements.
Step 1: Log onto Steemworld.org
 |
|---|
Step 2: Select "Block Explorer" on the homepage as demonstrated.
 |
|---|
Step 3 : After clicking, a box will pop up. Type in the number 1 and then press okay. This lets you see the Genesis block, which is the very first block in the chain.
 |
|---|
Step 4: Lastly upon opening the Genesis block, its details became visible. The first block of the Steem blockchain was established on 2016-03-24 at 21:05:00. Screenshots display additional info like block ID, previous ID, signing key, and witness name.
What is the last block produced? Determine the total time of the Steem blockchain, used the production date of the Genesis block and the production date of the last block. |
|---|
For the most recent block, I visited Steemyy.com sote and went to the Blockchain section. At the moment of creating this post, the latest block on the Steem blockchain is #77595585. This highlights the dynamic nature of blockchain technology and its ongoing activity.
 |
|---|
A = 77595585 × 3 = 232,786,755 seconds
= 232,786,755 ÷ 60 seconds = 3,879,779.25 minutes
= 3,879,779.25 ÷ 60 minutes = 64,662.9875 hours
= 64,662.9875 ÷ 24 hours = 2,694.2911458 days
= 2,694.2911458 ÷ 365 days = 7.380290124 ~ 7.4 years.
Explain the downtime of a blockchain - why can it occur? |
|---|
Sometimes, a blockchain takes a break for a while – just like when your computer goes offline. This break is called "downtime." Imagine it is like your favorite game pausing for a while. Downtime happens for various reasons. One is when the computers running the blockchain need rest or some updates for some reasons . Another is when there is a problem that needs to fixing, like when a link in a chain is weak.
Think of it as a rest time for the blockchain workers. During downtime, they can fix things, updating process, and make sure everything is working smoothly. Remember it that, even technology needs a breather to stay strong and keep things running smooth without any hiccups.
Has the Steem blockchain experienced downtime? If it has presented downtime, explain, mentioning the cases. |
|---|
Absolutely, the Steem blockchain, which I have been part of since july 2021, did experience times when it took a little break. These moments are known as downtime.
One common occurrence was when the posts did not show pictures, and I realized this because it lasted for quite a few hours many times . But the good thing is, the problem got fixed pretty quickly.
On some occasions, the website itself did not open, and I saw error messages due down time. Even though I waited patiently and calmly, the website stayed stubbornly closed. These times were a bit frustrating for me personally .
So, these are the main and various of downtime I have noticed. It is a bit like when a website goes offline for maintenance – the blockchain needs a breather every now and then, but the people behind it usually work to get things back up & running smoothly.
With Best Regards

Hello brother 🤗
I have just read your publication about the Steem Blockchain age and you have provide us brief explanation about the exact age of the Steem Blockchain with help of some equations. Yes you are right that there is always a possibility of downtime in every Blockchain network. I have gained a lot of knowledge about that topic. Thank you so for sharing with us 😊
Blessings 💞
Es normal que la blockchain se ralentice por causa de mantenimiento a la plataforma, si existen casos de hackeo pero que no han podido vulnerar la seguridad de la cadena. Eso es tremendamente dificil en una plataforma criptográfica. Si ha habido vulnerabilidad en los usuarios por un mal uso de los navegadores por los cuales les han hackeado sus cuentas, tal como sucedió a mediados de 2.016.
Así que a cuidar sus claves.
Gracias por compartir.
Mucha suerte y éxito.
Thank you for your time , i appreciate it .

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted through steemcurator04. We support quality posts, and good comments anywhere with any tags.Thank you so much for providing us valuable information about all the questions that you have explained according to your knowledge and you give successful and in a explanation in every question and I learn a lot from your post
I agree with you that most initial block at the blockchain is called Genesis block and to determine Genesis block we have to follow block explorer which is an option we see steemworld site when we open it and login to our account and then we have to command one and then we have to click on ok so that we may see information about Genesis block
I have also joined this platform few months ago around 10 to 11 months ago and from start of my journey I face the problem just like you to not show pictures and profiles of all users due to downtime of this block chain. I wish you success in your participation
Thank you for your time .
Excelente entrada, amigo. Así es, la Génesis es la madre de la Blockchain Steem. Es normal que se ralentice el sistema por mantenimiento problema de harware, congestión del sistema entre otros.
Explicó muy bien a través de su contenido que es el bloque Génesis y pudo mostrarnos captures de pantallas del mismo. Así como el tiempo de inactividad que ha presentado.la cadena de bloque Steem entre otros puntos exigido por el desafío..
Realmente realizó una muy buena entrada, lo felicito. Le deseo éxito en el desafío 👍
Saludos cordiales.
Mujhe aapki post dekh Kar Dil ki Khushi Hui aur Main Khush Hun ki aapko is topic ke bare mein acche understanding hai aur aapane hamesha ki Tarah bahut sincerity ke sath party se kiya hai aur main aapki baton se Karti hun jo aapane Genesis block ke bare mein kahin hai ki jab ek block change create hoti hai kya start Hoti hai To uske start mein banne wala block Genesis block kahlata hai uske alava aapane bahut acche se jaane se block ke bare mein information check karne ke method ko bhi bahut acchi Tarah explain kiya hai jo ki steam world se check karna hai.
Iske alava agar main aapki calculations ki baat Karun to mujhy in calculations mein bhi Koi kharabi Nazar Nahi aati balki aapane isko bahut acchi Tarah se explain kiya hai jo ki ek chhota method hai iske alava sabke Liye samajhna bhi aasan hai main aapki mehnat per aapko good Luck kahati hun Allah aapko mazeed kamyabiyan day
Friend, your participation is very interesting and more when you show us how to calculate the ages of the first block and when they are in a period of activity and inactivity.
Thanks for sharing this topic with us. Success for you.
