The term blockchain is rapidly emerging, developing, morphing and expanding in context as is this Wikiversity learning resource. We have posted this collection of thoughts and initiated a discussion hoping to find out how the academic treatment and understanding of cryptocurrency and distributed computing may remain open, free, liberated and independent in generic form into the future. Blockchain is an emerging technology, and relates to future studies in that regard.
A blockchain can be considered a decentralized architecture with built-in security to increase the trust and integrity of transactions.
Everyone can check the transaction and verify it, and can also participate the process of getting consensus. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum are both public blockchains. The blockchain economic system conventions will be determined by the smart contracts, whenever stimulatory transactions are enforced autonomously. Blockchain became the buzzword when it gave a security boost to the cryptocurrency Bitcoin in 2008.
Blockchain has revolutionized the exchange of information and media after the Internet. Blockchain is the basis for the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations which provides novel stages of crowd coordination by eradicating the trust and fault problems.
Diverse blockchains are available in the structures of the market to provide configurational comfortability to the end user.
A variety of blockchains are available in market structures to provide ease of configuration for the end user. Decentralized peer-to-peer blockchain technology has a lot to offer the complete system with its custom categories. there is no single authority that oversees how the laws are enforced. Anyone is free to join the public blockchain network.
The blockchain began as a public ledger that records bitcoin transactions. As a distributed database, a way is needed to independently verify the chain of ownership of any and every bitcoin (amount). The blockchain is a ledger stored on each network node as a copy of the "original" set of transactions. Every ten minutes or so, a new group of accepted transactions, a block, is created, added to the chain, and quickly published to all nodes.

Look up research related materials by doing a Bitcoin search on Google Scholar.

It's important to identify and define the blockchain in a liberated way. Bitcoin, by definition can't monopolize the terms. Ethereum adds some features and frills:

Would researching cryptocurrency tipping to incentivize Creative Common contributions be a topic that is acceptable to publish research about onto this wiki? No problem if not. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 05:16, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
