Introduction
Blockchain is an innovative technology that has revolutionized the way we interact, store and transfer data. It is a distributed ledger technology that uses cryptography to ensure that data is secure, immutable and resistant to tampering. With blockchain, data is stored in a distributed network, which makes it difficult for any one party to control or manipulate it. CryptoNewsHerald is a news outlet dedicated to covering the development and use of blockchain technology. Through our articles, we aim to provide our readers with up-to-date information about the latest advancements in blockchain technology and its applications. Our goal is to help our readers understand the potential of blockchain technology and how it can be used to improve our lives.

What is blockchain?
Attention! The article was published in 2015 and is waiting for updates.
Blockchain (from the English block chain, “chain of blocks”) is a distributed database that can be accessed by anyone. Otherwise, it is called “distributed registry technology”, since there is no centralized body or regulator that could manage the blockchain at its own discretion.

How is a blockchain different from a classic database?
The classic database is stored on dedicated servers that are controlled by the organization that owns the database. The blockchain is not controlled by any one person or organization, and its security is ensured precisely by its distributed architecture. If some of the computers on which the blockchain is stored are hacked, this will not affect the operation of the entire system in any way, which is unthinkable for a classic database.

Why is there so much hype around blockchain?
Blockchain is often compared to the Internet due to its ability to change the world. Now people need to maintain a huge staff of lawyers, notaries, regulators, bankers and other bureaucrats in order to certify and confirm events, such as paying salaries or selling an apartment. Blockchain technology is able to do all their work completely automatically, thereby eliminating the very need for intermediaries.

What is the difference between a public blockchain and a private one?
The public blockchain is available to everyone, while the private one is available only to the elite. There can be so many different blockchains, some of which are public and others are private. So far, they cannot interact, since each blockchain can implement its own rules of operation, and the rules of one blockchain can directly contradict the rules of another.
