What is a hash?

[Jahida 67 960]

We really need to know about this hash, those who are new here and those who are old and those who did not know about this hash, everyone will know, everyone will benefit from this topic.

[ETheHedgehog 3104]

and the word is used as hashrate to describe the speed and power of a miner, basically how many of these encoded strings can it process in a second or minute

[Whited35 15285]

Newcomers in the crypto world should be familiar with the essential terms like hash, hashrate, mining ,IEO , ICO etc. You have mentioned everything in your topic. In  short cut, the term hash in the crypto world means a function which converts an input of letters and numbers into an encrypted output. 

[Jeet Narayan 1940]

This is true hash is used in computing to describe a string of encoded text but also hash is using in Crypto mining, according to crypto mining it is speed and which is operates mining machine.

[Honny143 13612]

My dear friend I think hash is used in mining  because I use this word in cloud mining site, where they gives bonus hash power when we start mining, but I don't no how it's works in mining process but I have need some information then I give my 100% thanks to share this topic.

When we are novices or beginners it is important that we know the terms used in this world of cryptocurrencies is why I have set out to bring them the meanings of those terms so that they can be informed. 
I hope you like it and give it to your heart down here. 

Thank you for sharing us some knowledge about the harsh I have the know already but I hope that many will benefit from your explanation.

As this is a beginner's thread, may i suggest adding some information on what are hashes for in cryptos. What is their role in cryptos and stuff like that.

It's very important to know these therm like a beginner t stars form the bottom and good understand the crypto world and how it work ,so yes we need to search for any therm that we dont know 

[Thekingcallme 1975]

hash is part of mining mining by miners which is a term used in the field of mining for cryptocurrencies

[Yomose 3704]

Hashes are used to secure blockchain, they are generated from miners, and used in making transaction last and mining. 

[Bohana 2143]

Yes you are right.  thank you for this.  We must be aware of these conditions.  I think fragmentation is important in the crypto world

[Calvinpriva 17296]

Thanks for the explanations. There is transaction hash, this will be generated automatically when you will send or receiver crypto currencies in your wallet. You can use hash to track your transaction when its wait to be confirmed in blockchain.

[pablomarwan 3082]

Yes, you are right to explain this term. The majority heard about it or once from one of the positions that challenged this term, but it did not fully understand the meaning of it. One of the most possible places that depend on this term is mining platforms that tell you how much the retail value reaches hash

[Captain Karim 0]

I also want to add a few terms:

1-WHALE
It is a reference and description of the whales behind the high and low prices

 

2- Bullish
It means that the investor believes that the currency and the market will generally rise.

3-Bearish
Bullish reversed and generally believed that the currency rate would decrease.

4-Altcoin
Any cryptocurrency outside of bitcoin is called altcoin.

[Alimhana930 1605]

The breakdown is simply the ability of the device used to mining, there is a disparity in the ability of the devices to do so
The hash has several units that display the ability to mining the parameters at one time.

[sayems 1513]

Thank you for sharing such an important information with us. Just like I was not aware of hash before, now I am aware, in the same way many people like me have become aware of hash after seeing your post. 

We hope you will share with us such important issues in the future.

[estee369 489]

Thank you very much for this informative topic. I didn't had any idea what hash was. But after reading I could understand it a little bit. Keep it up.

[kitekite24 4162]

This is a good information for us beginners here my friend. Knowing that kind of post or term about crypto currency will help us when we encounter that terms in many topics. I love your way to help other people here giving some new terms to learn so that we can adapt on the crypto currency world.

[yato987 2811]

appreciate your help to teach us a new information in crypto world , day after day working in this forum letting me always learn something new about crypto that can not be learned on net because it is hard to come such idea in your mind

Thank you very much, now there is a concept of the word hash in my dictionary. I often met this in encrypting passwords, and in the whole encryption of any data. Thanks! 🙂

a very interesting question and I would very much like to know the answer thanks for opening this topic now I know the answer for myself and I am sure it will be very useful and relevant for other users

[lyudkic3008 30]

Thank you for your post, as a beginner it is very useful for me to learn new terms in the world of cryptocurrency.

[DanielMcRon 598]

Great article. You can add, suddenly someone does not understand, the hash is used as a link and as a key. It was created for the safety of your data, it cannot be repeated with someone, so you can not worry about its security

[Denny7 107]

Quite interesting information, thanks. While you are sitting on the forum you will learn so much. With the forum you will quickly become a professional. 😀

For me the key to the knowledge of the blockchain is an understanding of cryptographic hashes. It seems to me that many of us, ordinary people, make the mistake of imagining the blockchain as, first of all, lists of anonymous transactions distributed over decentralized networks. Although a separate blockchain is really like this, it is sometimes overlooked that the main block of the new technology is not decentralization, anonymity, or even distributed registries, but cryptography itself. While this is probably obvious to someone with a basic understanding of computer science, it's something completely new for most of us.
