"It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance."
Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II) is an evolutionary algorithm, which we use in multi-objective optimization scenarios. This article dwells on the nuts and bolts of the NSGA II algorithm while providing a brief…
We make ChatGPT, Bard and Bing write a simple yet tricky React app and see who wins this battle of the chatbots.…
In this article, let’s try to find how many blocks a recipient should wait for before accepting a transaction. …
In the previous article, we found the probability of double-spending. In this article, let’s look at the probability of an attacker mining a certain number of blocks with a hash rate of less than 50%.…
We tried to understand the 51% attack through the gambler’s ruin problem and the probability of a gambler winning T dollars in the last article. Let’s look at how we can apply the equation we…
This article discusses the solution to the gambler’s ruin problem as a precursor to understanding the probability of double spending. …
So far, we have briefly touched upon the idea of the 51% attack and how it actually allows double spending to happen. In this article, we will start to look at the theoretical basis of the 51% attack.…
ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform, open-source web framework that allows you to develop MVC applications and Web APIs with ease. This article will explore how we can easily add authentication to an ASP.NET Core 7.0…
We looked at double spending and immutability in blockchain in the previous article. In this article, let’s discuss forks in blockchain. Forks, as the name implies, splits the blockchain into two branches. A blockchain can…
Universal Windows Platform (UWP) allows you to write Windows applications that run across different platforms such as Windows 10, Windows 11, HoloLens, Windows Mobile (RIP), and Xbox. In this article, we shall look at how…
In the last article, we looked at the process of mining in blockchain in depth. This article will look at how blockchain avoids double spending and how it manages to be immutable. Before we learn…
React 18 introduced a completely new paradigm to the frontend realm in the form of React Server Components (RSC). Next.js 13 followed suit by introducing support for RSC through their app directory, which is in…
We looked at Merkle proof in the previous article and that concluded our discussions on blocks and their structure. In this article, we shall look at the process of mining in detail. There are two…
In the last article, we discussed the Merkle tree and how we can use that to ensure integrity, that is, to make sure that no transaction got added to the block after a miner mined…
In this article, we talk about block structure in blockchain, the block header and how we generate the Merkle root.…
We looked at the Proof-of-Work algorithm in the previous article, and in this article, we shall look at how we adjust the target hash based on the difficulty value to keep the transaction time constant.…
