Until this point, there had been discussion of similar ideas (including by the NSA, who published a 1996 paper titled “How to Make a Mint: the Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash.”) However, no-one had implemented the idea successfully. Satoshi Nakamoto helped change all that. 2009: ...
Bitcoin (BTC) is a cryptocurrency (a virtual currency) designed to act as money and a form of payment outside the control of any one person, group, or entity. This removes the need for trusted third-party involvement (e.g., a mint or bank) in financial transactions. Bitcoin was intro...

Can you mint an NFT for free? It’s possible if the NFT platform you choose supports lazy minting. This process generates metadata for an NFT without actually creating a token of the NFT itself. When someone purchases that NFT, it is then officially minted, and the gas fee incurred is pa...
Once your artwork is ready, make sure to save it in a high-resolution format. It’s important that the image quality is excellent since this can affect the value of the NFT. Next, choose a blockchain platform where you want to mint and sell your NFT. Platforms like Rarible and OpenSea...
Before we move on with the deployment, there are a couple of quick changes we need to make to the file above. First, replace “<YOUR-HOST’S-PUBLIC-IP>” with your server’s real public IP address — the one that’s reachable from the Internet. If you’re not sure what it is, ...
Cryptography transforms data into an unreadable format that can only be accessed with an alphanumeric key. The technology has been used to create a cryptocurrency, which is a digital currency that is used as a medium of exchange. Cryptography secures and verifies the transactions and creates new ...
What is symmetric and asymmetric cryptography or encryption?In symmetric encryption, only one key is used to encrypt and decrypt.The benefit of this method is that it is significantly faster, but also less safe since the same key has to be shared between the sender and the recipient in a ...
An advantage of Σ- protocols is that they are easy to make non-interactive by using the Fiat-Shamir heuristic [FS86] where a cryptographic hash-function is used to compute the challenge instead of having an online verifier. It can be argued in the random oracle model [BR93] where the ...
