C++ - C++ programming language - used to implement Bitcoin Core, as well as most first generation cryptocurrencies, high performance Bitcoin miners and other critical software.
Programming - Explore software programming topics. Cryptocurrencies, programming languages, tutorials and software development in general.
Source Code - Source code is the machine logic implemented in a programming language. Fortunately, the most popular cryptocurrencies are open source, allowing us to study their source code.
Python - Python is a popular scripting language that we use for several blockchain analysis tasks, especially in our Bitcoin Toolbox
Bitcoin - Bitcoin is the world's first viable decentralized cryptocurrency. It was released on January 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Avalanche Protocol - Avalanche is a consensus protocol introduced by Rocket Team in 2018. It is an entirely new consensus protocol which builds upon classic consensus and Nakamoto consensus.
AVAX Cryptocurrency - AVAX is the cryptocurrency released in 2020 by Ava Labs. The AVAX cryptocurrency is used for all transactions in the Avalanche network.
Bitcoin Wallet - A Bitcoin Wallet is a software which implements basic BTC management functions such as generating and managing new receiving addresses, signing and sending transactions to the network, receiving transactions from the network, managing your addresses, reading and producing QR codes, adding up your unspent Bitcoin across several addresses and many other useful functionalities. Wallets may also offer security functions such as encrypting your keys so they can't be used in case the wallet files get lost or stolen.
Paper Wallet - A paper wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet which has its public and private keys printed on paper. The keys can normally be read using a QR code. As long as you maintain the integrity of the printed paper, it's a very secure storage method due to its offline (air gapped) nature.
