A decentralized system (like Bitcoin, Ethereum) is composed of a set of decentralized subsystems (like mining, exchanges, nodes, developers, clients, and so on). Here are six of the subsystems that compose Bitcoin.

Public Blockchain Subsystem

What are mining rewards?

A mining reward, otherwise known as a block reward, is the amount of cryptocurrency you get for successfully mining a block of the currency in question.
For example, you can be rewarded 6.25 Bitcoin when you successfully mine a block and add it to the blockchain. The amount of the reward actually halves every 210,000 blocks in terms of Bitcoin, and this is estimated to occur once every four years. The amount is expected to hit zero in the year 2140.

What is Codebase maintained by the client?

Codebase is a collection of modules, applications & libraries that combine to fulfill specific application requirements. These are totally maintained by the client.

What is the Role of Developers?

Blockchain developers enable secure digital transactions by creating systems to record and store blockchain data in a way that prevents changes or hacks. They design secure blockchain technologies, develop application features and interfaces, and maintain client and server-side applications.

Bitcoin Exchanges

A bitcoin exchange is a digital marketplace where traders can buy and sell bitcoins using different fiat currencies or altcoins. A bitcoin currency exchange is an online platform that acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers of the cryptocurrency.

What are nodes on Blockchain?

Nodes can be any kind of device (mostly computers, laptops, or even bigger servers). Nodes form the infrastructure of a blockchain. All nodes on a blockchain are connected to each other and they constantly exchange the latest blockchain data with each other so all nodes synced with each other.

Ownership by Addresses

Bitcoin ownership essentially boils down to two numbers, a public key and a private key. A rough analogy is a username (public key) and a password (private key). A hash of the public key called an address is the one displayed on the blockchain. Using the hash provides an extra layer of security.

To receive bitcoins, it’s enough for the sender to know your address. The public key is derived from the private key, which you need to send bitcoins to another address. The system makes it easy to receive money but requires verification of identity to send it.
