Links and Information¶

A condition in which more than half the computing power on a cryptocurrency network is controlled by a single miner or group of miners. That amount of power theoretically makes them the authority on the network. This means that every client on the network believes the attacker’s hashed transaction block.

Address

Um endereço Dash é usado para enviar / receber um pagamento na rede Dash. Ele contém uma cadeia de caracteres alfanuméricos, mas pode ser representado como um código QR. Um endereço Dash é também a chave pública do par de chaves utilizadas por titulares do Dash para assinar digitalmente transações (ver chave pública).

Algorithm

Em matemática e ciência da computação, um algoritmo é um passo-a-passo conjunto independente de operações a serem realizadas. Algoritmos de executar o cálculo, processamento de dados, e / ou tarefas de raciocínio.

Altcoin

Since Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and has the largest market capitalization, it is considered as the reference. An altcoin, or alternative coin, is any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin.

AML

Técnicas de lavagem de dinheiro são usadas para impedir que as pessoas converta recursos obtidos ilegalmente, para parecer como se tivessem sido obtidos legalmente. mecanismos LMA pode ser legal ou de natureza técnica. Reguladores frequentemente aplica técnicas de AML para trocas.

API

Na programação de computadores, uma interface de programação de aplicações (API) é um conjunto de rotinas, protocolos e ferramentas para a construção de software e aplicações.

Uma API expressa um componente de software em termos de suas operações, entradas, saídas e tipos subjacentes, definindo funcionalidades que são independentes das respectivas implementações, o que permite definições e implementações para variar, sem comprometer a interface. Uma boa API torna mais fácil para desenvolver um programa, fornecendo todos os blocos de construção, que são então colocadas em conjunto pelo programador.

ASIC

Um circuito integrado de aplicação específica (ASIC) / eɪsɪk /, é um circuito integrado (IC) personalizado para um uso específico, em vez de ser utilizado para fins gerais. Por exemplo, um chip projetado para ser executado em um gravador de voz digital ou um Mining Dash de alta eficiência é um ASIC

ATM / BTM

A ATM Dash é uma máquina física que permite a uma pessoa comprar Dash com dinheiro. Existem muitos fabricantes, alguns dos quais permitem aos usuários vender Dash por dinheiro. Eles também são chamadas às vezes «BTMS “ou” Dash AVMS “. Dash é suportado por vários ATMs.

Backlog

Backlog generally refers to an accumulation over time of work waiting to be done or orders to be fulfilled.

Backup

O processo de fazer cópias de um arquivo de computador para garantir a sua integridade no caso de perda, roubo ou dano. Dash tem a característica única de permitir aos usuários fazer cópias de segurança de suas carteiras digitais. Isso protege contra a perda do dinheiro no caso de um computador travar ou perder um dispositivo móvel. Isso seria o equivalente a ser capaz de fazer o backup do dinheiro em sua carteira, de modo que se você perdeu, você pode restaurar o dinheiro em um backup.

Bitcoin 2.0

Este é um termo que explica o próximo novo nível de projetos Bitcoin que começou com um fork do Bitcoin, mas estenderam seu código para o próximo nível de Projetos Blockchain (Contratos inteligentes, descentralizada Votação, ….)

Blockchain

É um banco de dados distribuído que mantém uma lista crescente de registros de dados. Ele consiste em blocos de estrutura de dados que mantêm exclusivamente dados em implementações iniciais de blocos e dados e programas em algumas das implementações mais recentes - com cada bloco realizando lotes de transações individuais e os resultados de qualquer bloco executável. Cada bloco contém um timestamp e informação ligando-o a um bloco anterior.

Blocos

As transações no Blockchain são coletadas em blocos, blocos registro e confirmar quando e em que seqüência as transações entra e são registrados na cadeia de bloco. Os blocos são criados por usuários conhecidos como «mineradores» que usam software especializado ou equipamento projetado especificamente para criar blocos.

Budget System / DGBB

The development of Dash and the Dash ecosystem is self-funded by the network. Each time a block is discovered, 45% of the block reward goes to miners and 45% goes to masternodes. Ten percent is withheld by the network and used to fund projects that are approved by the masternode network. This process is known as Decentralized Governance by Blockchain (DGBB). For a fee, anybody can submit a proposal to the network, and will be paid directly by the blockchain if approved by the masternodes. The Budget System is sometimes called the Treasury System; the two terms are interchangeable.

ChainLock

Defined in DIP8, ChainLocks are a method of using an LLMQ to threshold sign a block immediately after it is propogated by the miner in order to enforce the first-seen rule. This is a powerful method of mitigating 51% mining attacks, which are associated with double spending.

Cloud Wallet

São terceiros que irá armazenar seus Dash em seus servidores para você, para que você “pode acessar seus Dashs a partir de qualquer dispositivo conectado à internet. Se o site é hackiado ou se os servidores estão danificados, você corre o risco de perder o seu Dash. Quaisquer carteiras on-line devem ser feita com frases-senhas fortes e 2FA. Você não pode fazer cópias de segurança de sua carteira on-line, porque você não tem acesso às chaves privadas.

Coinbase transaction

The first transaction in a block. Always created by a miner, it includes a single input which constitutes the block reward. This is split between the miner and a deterministically chosen masternode.

Cold Storage

Um método de gerar e armazenar chaves privadas completamente offline. Pode-se usar um computador desktop ou laptop desconectado da internet, um hardware wallet, um USB ou um carteira de papel.

Confirm(ed) Transaction

Quando uma transação é feita, um minerador deve verificar se a transação é válida. Quando as entradas e saídas são verificadas, a transação está incluída em um bloco no blockchain. A transação pode ser agora completa e irreversível. O número de confirmação aumenta à medida que mais blocos são adicionados ao blockchain.

Confirmation Number

O número de confirmações Dash para uma transação. Zero significa que as confirmações de transação não está confirmado. Uma confirmação significa que a transação está incluída no mais recente bloco no blockchain. Duas confirmações indica que a transação está incluído em dois blocos, a três quadras confirmações para três, e assim por diante. A probabilidade de uma transação ser revertida (duplo gasto) diminui exponencialmente com cada bloco e posterior confirmação.

Confirmed Transactions

Transactions that are processed by miners and considered irreversible, usually after six confirmations. In the case of InstantSend, funds can be considered irreversible after a few seconds, but must still be written to the blockchain (and thus «confirmed»).

CPU

A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions. The term has been used in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s. Traditionally, the term «CPU» refers to a processor, more specifically to its processing unit and control unit (CU), distinguishing these core elements of a computer from external components such as main memory and I/O circuitry.

Cryptocurrency

Uma criptomoeda (ou moeda criptográfica ou cripto-moeda) é um meio de troca usando criptografia para proteger as transações e controlar a criação de novas unidades.

Cryptography

Cryptography or cryptology (from Greek κρυπτός kryptós, «hidden, secret»; and γράφειν graphein, «writing,» or -λογία -logia, «study,» respectively) is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries. More generally, cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols that prevent third parties or the public from reading private messages; various aspects in information security such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non- repudiation are central to modern cryptography. Modern cryptography exists at the intersection of the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering. Applications of cryptography include ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce.

DAP

Decentralized Application Protocol. This term describes an application running on top of the Dash DAPI platform.

DAP Client

An HTTP Client that connects to DAPI and enables Dash blockchain users to read and write data to their DAP Space.

DAP Schema

A Dash Schema document extending the Dash System Schema to define consensus data and rules within a DAP contract.

DAP Space

The part of a DAP State that is owned by a specific blockchain user. Data in a DAP Space can only be changed by the owner.

DAP State

The total set of data stored in a DAP. This data consists of user DAP Spaces.

DAPI

Decentralized Application Programming Interface. See above for a definition of API. DAPI will perform the same functions as an API, but with quorums of masternodes acting as the endpoints for API communication.

Dark Gravity Wave

No conceito, Dark Gravity Wave (DGW) é semelhante a Kimoto Gravity Well, ajustando os níveis de dificuldade de cada bloco (em vez de cada 2016 blocos como Bitcoin) usando dados estatísticos dos últimos blocos encontrados. Desta forma, os tempos de emissão de blocos podem permanecer consistentes, apesar das altas flutuações de hashpower. No entanto, ele não sofre com o tempo-warp explora.

Darkcoin

Dash foi lançado como XCoin e depois renomeado para Darkcoin.

Dash

Originally launched as Xcoin and later renamed to Darkcoin, the currency was later renamed «Dash» to avoid association with the darknet markets. Dash is a portmanteau of «Digital Cash.» Dash is an open source peer-to- peer cryptocurrency that solves many of Bitcoin’s problems. Dash’s features include InstantSend, CoinJoin, Decentralized Governance by Blockchain (DGBB), a 2nd tier network (referred to as the masternode network). See the Features page for a full list of Dash’s features.

DashDrive

Dash network data storage backend service used by masternodes for off-chain data relating to Evolution. DashDrive implements IPFS, a type of distributed file storage system.

Dash Client

Clientes Dash são programas de software usados para interagir com a rede Dash. Eles armazenam as chaves privadas necessárias para realizar transações Dash, bem como uma cópia de todo o bloco. Um cliente Dash se conecta à rede Dash e se torna um nó na rede. Um nó compartilha e propaga novas transações com o restante da rede criando uma infraestrutura robusta.

Carteira Dash Core

The Dash Core Wallet (known also as the QT wallet) is the «official» Dash wallet that is compiled by the Dash Core Team and allows both InstantSend and CoinJoin. The DashCore wallet will download the entire blockchain and serve it over the internet to any peers who request it.

Dash Evolution

This is a 3 tier network Dash developers are presently building. It will make Dash as easy to use as PayPal, while still remaining decentralized. See the Evolution page for more information.

Dash Schema

A JSON-based language specification for defining and validating consensus data in Evolution.

DDoS

Um ataque de negação de serviço distribuído usa um grande número de computadores sob o controle de um invasor para drenar os recursos de um alvo central. Eles muitas vezes enviam pequenas quantidades de tráfego de rede através da Internet para amarrar recursos de computação e largura de banda no destino, o que impede que ele forneça serviços a usuários legítimos. As exchange de Dash foram às vezes atingidos com ataques DDoS.

Decentralized

Decentralized computing is the allocation of resources, both hardware and software, to each individual workstation or office location. In contrast, centralized computing exists when the majority of functions are carried out or obtained from a remote centralized location. Decentralized computing is a trend in modern-day business environments. This is the opposite of centralized computing, which was prevalent during the early days of computers. A decentralized computer system has many benefits over a conventional centralized network. Desktop computers have advanced so rapidly that their potential performance far exceeds the requirements of most business applications. This results in most desktop computers remaining nearly idle most of the time. A decentralized system can use the potential of these systems to maximize efficiency. However, it is debatable whether these networks increase overall effectiveness.

Desktop Wallet

A wallet is a piece of software that stores your Dash. There are many different wallet options, but it is imperative to choose a secure one. We recommend any of the following: Dash Core Wallet / Dash Electrum Wallet / Hardware Wallets

Difficulty

Esse número determina a dificuldade de um novo bloco. Ele está relacionado com o número máximo permitido em uma determinada porção numérica do hash de um bloco de transação. Quanto menor o número, mais difícil é produzir um valor de hash que o ajuste. A dificuldade varia com base na quantidade de poder de computação usada pelos mineradores na rede Dash. Se um grande número de mineradores deixar uma rede, a dificuldade diminuiria. Até agora, no entanto, a popularidade crescente Dash tem atraído mais poder de computação para a rede, o que significa que a dificuldade aumentou.

Digital Wallet

See this link for full documentation on wallets.

A digital wallet is similar to a physical wallet except that it is used to hold digital currency. A Dash wallet holds your private keys, which allow you to spend your Dash. You are also able to make backups of your wallet in order to ensure that you never lose access to your Dash. Digital wallets can exist in many different forms and on many devices:

Desktop Wallet (Dash Electrum Wallet, Dash Core Wallet): Wallet programs that you install on a laptop or desktop computer. You are solely responsible for protecting the wallet file and the private keys it contains. Make backup copies of your wallet files to ensure that you don’t lose access to your funds.
Mobile Wallet (Android, iOS): These wallets can be downloaded through Google Play or Apple (iTunes) App Stores. Mobile wallets allow you to use Dash on-the-go by scanning a QR code to send payment. Make backup copies of your mobile wallet files to ensure that you don’t lose access to your funds. Due to security issues with mobile phones, it is advised that you don’t store large amounts of funds on these wallets.
Online/Cloud/Web Wallet (Exodus, MyDashWallet): Third parties that will store your Dash on their servers for you or provide an interface to access your Dash with you providing the keys, so that you can access your Dash from any device connected to the internet. If their website is hacked or if their servers are damaged, you run the risk of losing your Dash. Any online wallets should be secured with strong passphrases and 2FA. You cannot make backup copies of your online wallet, because you do not have access to the private keys. We strongly urge that you NEVER store large amounts of Dash in any online wallet or cryptocurrency exchange.
Hardware Wallets (Trezor, KeepKey, Ledger, Nano): A hardware wallet is a specialized, tamper-proof, hardware device that stores your private keys. This device is able to sign transactions with your private key without being connected to the internet. However, you must have an internet connection to send the transaction to the Dash network. This allows your private keys to be accessed easily while still keeping them securely protected. This is widely regarded to be the safest form of storage for your Dash.
Offline/Cold Storage (Paper wallet): A special wallet that is created offline and is never exposed to the internet. Accomplished by using software to generate a public and private key offline and then recording the generated keys. They keys can be printed out on paper or even laser-etched in metal. Copies can be made and stored in a personal safe or bank deposit box. This is an extremely secure way to store Dash. There is no risk of using software wallet files, which can become corrupt, or web wallets, which can be hacked. NOTE: USB sticks are not safe for long-term (multi-year) storage because they degrade over time.

DKG

Defined in DIP6, Distributed Key Generation (DKG) is a method of generating a BLS key pair for use in an LLMQ to perform threshold signing on network messages. It is based on BLS M-of-N Threshold Scheme and Distributed Key Generation, which is an implementation of Shamir’s Secret Sharing.

Digital Signature

Uma assinatura digital é um mecanismo matemático que permite a alguém provar sua identidade ou propriedade de um ativo digital. Quando sua carteira digital assina uma transação com a chave privada apropriada, toda a rede pode ver que a assinatura corresponde aos Dashs que estão sendo gastos, sem a necessidade de revelar a chave privada para a rede.

Electrum Wallet

Dash Electrum Wallet is a lightweight wallet that does not require you to download or sync the entire blockchain, making the wallet lighter and faster. However, it is missing certain features such as InstantSend and CoinJoin.

Encryption

In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. Encrypted messages which are intercepted by a third-party are indecipherable gibberish without the private key. In an encryption scheme, the plaintext message is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted by the intended recipient. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. Increases in computing power have «broken» many past encryption algorithms, but a well-designed modern system such as AES-256 is considered essentially «uncrackable.»

Escrow Services

An escrow is:

a contractual arrangement in which a third party receives and disburses money or documents for the primary transacting parties, with the disbursement dependent on conditions agreed to by the transacting parties; or
an account established by a broker for holding funds on behalf of the broker’s principal or some other person until the consummation or termination of a transaction; or
a trust account held in the borrower’s name to pay obligations such as property taxes and insurance premiums.

A trusted escrow service is often used when purchasing cryptocurrency or other goods/services over the internet. Both the buyer and seller will choose a trusted third-party, the seller will send the item (or currency) to the escrow agent, and the buyer will send the purchasing funds to the escrow agent as well. Once the escrow agent is satisfied that both parties have satisfied the terms of the agreement, he/she will forward the funds and the product (or currency) being purchased to the appropriate party.

Evan Duffield

Founder and first Lead Developer of Dash. Inventor of X11, InstantSend and PrivateSend. Before creating Dash, Evan was a financial advisor and holds a Series 65 license.

Exchange

The current price of one Dash compared to the price of other currencies, like the US dollar, Yen, Euro, or Bitcoin. Because most trading volume takes place on the BTC/DASH markets, price is often quoted in fractions of a bitcoin. For instance, the price of one Dash at the end of March 2017 was 0.08 (bitcoins per Dash). An excellent site for following the exchange rate of Dash is CoinMarketCap. Businesses wishing to reduce the risk of holding a volatile digital currency can avoid that risk altogether by having a payment processor do an instant exchange at the time of each transaction.

Faucet

Faucets are a reward system, in the form of a website or app, that dispenses rewards in the form of a microdash or Duff, which is a hundredth of a millionth Dash, for visitors to claim in exchange for completing a captcha or task as described by the website.

Fiat Gateway

Fiat money has been defined variously as:

Any money declared by a government to be legal tender.
State-issued money which is neither convertible by law to any other thing, nor fixed in value in terms of any objective standard.
Intrinsically valueless money used as money because of government decree.

Examples include the US dollar, the Euro, the Yen, and so forth.

Fintech

Financial technology, also known as FinTech, is an economic industry composed of companies that use technology to make financial services more efficient. Financial technology companies are generally startups trying to make financial processes more efficient or eliminate middle- men. Recently many fintech companies have begun utilizing blockchain technology, which is the same technology that underpins Dash and Bitcoin.

Fork

When the blockchain diverges or splits, with some clients recognizing one version of the blockchain as valid, and other clients believing that a different version of the blockchain is valid. Most forks resolve themselves without causing any problems, because the longest blockchain is always considered to be valid. In time, one version of the blockchain will usually «win» and become universally recognized as valid. Forks can, however, be extremely dangerous and should be avoided if possible.

Forking is most likely to occur during software updates to the network. Dash uses a Multi-Phased Fork (“Spork”) system for greater flexibility and safety.

Full Nodes

Any Dash client that is serving a full version of the blockchain to peers. This can be a user running a Dash Core wallet on his/her desktop, or it could be a masternode. Full nodes promote decentralization by allowing any user to double check the validity of the blockchain.

Fungible

Cada unidade da moeda vale o mesmo que qualquer outra unidade.

Genesis Block

O primeiro bloco na cadeia de blocos.

GPU

A graphics processing unit (GPU), also occasionally called visual processing unit (VPU), is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display. GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating computer graphics and image processing, and their highly parallel structure makes them more efficient than general- purpose CPUs for algorithms where the processing of large blocks of data is done in parallel. In a personal computer, a GPU can be present on a video card, or it can be embedded on the motherboard or — in certain CPUs — on the CPU die. Certain cryptocurrencies use mining algorithms which are most efficiently run on GPUs.

Hardware Wallet

Hardware wallets are among the safest type of wallet for storing your Dash. Your private key is protected inside a piece of hardware, and is never exposed to the internet. You are still able to sign transactions as normal, making it both safe and convenient.

Hash

A mathematical process that takes a variable amount of data and produces a shorter, fixed-length output. A hashing function has two important characteristics. First, it is mathematically difficult to work out what the original input was by looking at the output. Second, changing even the tiniest part of the input will produce an entirely different output.

Hashrate

O número de hashes que pode ser executado por um minerador Dash em um determinado período de tempo (geralmente um segundo).

Insight

Blockchain information server used to power block explorers and respond to transaction queries.

InstantX

See InstantSend

InstantSend

InstantSend technology uses the masternode network to «lock» transaction inputs, preventing Dash from being double-spent. Unlike Bitcoin, where it takes an hour or longer for transactions to fully confirm, transactions using InstantSend are «locked» and irreversible after only a few seconds.

Liquidity

The ability to buy and sell an asset easily, with pricing that stays roughly similar between trades. A suitably large community of buyers and sellers is important for liquidity. The result of an illiquid market is price volatility, and the inability to easily determine the value of an asset.

LLMQ

Defined in DIP6, A Long- Living Masternode Quorum (LLMQ) is a deterministic subset of the global deterministic masternode list. Such a quorum is formed with the help of a distributed key generation (DKG) protocol and is supposed to be active for a long time (e.g. days). Multiple quorums are kept alive at the same time, allowing load balancing between these quorums. The main task of a LLMQ is to perform threshold signing of consensus related messages.

Masternode

A masternode is special type of full node that performs services for the network and is paid a portion of the block reward. Masternodes require proof of ownership of 1000 DASH.

Masternodes serve as the second tier of the Dash network, and power InstantSend, CoinJoin, and the Budget System.

Mining

Miners process transactions on the Dash network and publish them on the blockchain. As a reward for doing this, miners are paid 45% of the block reward.

Mobile Wallet

Estes são carteiras disponíveis em telefones móveis (iPhone + Android).

MultiSig

Multi-signature addresses provide additional security by requiring multiple people to sign a transaction with their private key before the transaction can be sent. For example, in 2 of 3 multisig, two out of three possible signatories have to sign a transaction for it to be processed. Multi-signature addresses are commonly used by exchanges and other organizations that are in possession of large sums of cryptocurrency, since it makes theft much more difficult.

Node

A node is any device running Dash wallet software. Full nodes are software clients that have downloaded the entire blockchain and serve it to other clients on Dash’s peer-to-peer network.

OTC

Over the counter (OTC) trades are trades that occur off exchanges. In an OTC trade, a buyer and seller trade with each other directly, or through an intermediary. OTC trading is useful when a person wants to either buy or sell a large amount of cryptocurrency and is afraid that a large buy or sell order will move the price (called «slippage»).

P2P

Peer-to-peer. Decentralized interactions that happen between at least two parties in a highly interconnected network. An alternative system to a “hub-and-spoke” arrangement, in which all participants in a transaction deal with each other through a single mediation point.

Paper Wallet

Paper wallets are offline wallets, printed on paper for safety. If properly secured and stored they are considered the safest way to store cryptocurrency.

Privacy

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes. When something is private to a person, it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive to them. The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information. Dash includes CoinJoin, which allows users to maintain financial privacy.

Private Key

A private key is a long alphanumeric passcode that allows Dash to be spent. Every Dash wallet contains one or more private keys which are saved in the wallet file. The private keys are mathematically related to all Dash addresses generated for the wallet. Because the private key is the «ticket» that allows someone to spend Dash, it is important that these are kept secure and secret.

PrivateSend

PrivateSend obscures the source of funds in order to maintain financial privacy between users. It can be turned on or off at the users” discretion.

Proof of Service - PoSe

Consensus mechanism used in Dash to verify that a masternode has provided uninterrupted service meeting a minimum quality level to the network. Maintaining this service allows a masternode to enter and move up through the global list and eventually into the selection pool to receive payment.

Proof of Stake - PoS

Consensus mechanism that relies on ownership of a cryptocurrency to maintain the blockchain. In Proof of Stake systems, each owner of the currency can use their wallet to «stake,» and there’s a small chance that they will be chosen to create the next block and add it to the chain. In this way consensus is maintained across all nodes. Proof of Stake saves electricity and does not require specialized computer hardware. It does however suffer from several pitfalls, including the «nothing at stake» problem. Since no electricity is consumed, in the event of an attack it is actually beneficial for Proof of Stake nodes to «vote» to accept both the legitimate chain and the attacker’s chain.

Proof of Work - PoW

Consensus mechanism that keeps all nodes honest by requiring computational power to be expended in order to create new blocks. Miners must use expensive equipment and burn electricity to add blocks to the blockchain. Without a consensus mechanism of some sort, any node could add blocks to the chain and the network’s nodes would never agree on which chain was valid.

Public Key

The public key is derived from the private key but is not secret and can be revealed to anybody. When a private key is used to sign messages, the public key is used to verify that the signature is valid.

Pump and dump

Inflating the value of a financial asset that has been produced or acquired cheaply, often using aggressive publicity and misleading statements. The publicity causes others to acquire the asset, forcing up its value. When the value is high enough, the perpetrator sells their assets, cashing in and flooding the market, which causes the value to crash. This is particularly common in markets with low liquidity, such as some altcoins.

Quorum

Group of masternodes signing or voting on some action, with the formation of the group determined by some determiniation algorithm.

QR Code

A two-dimensional graphical block containing a monochromatic pattern representing a sequence of data. QR codes are designed to be scanned by cameras, including those found in mobile phones, and are frequently used to encode Dash addresses.

Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the person or people who designed Bitcoin and created its original reference implementation.

SDK

Software Development Kit. A set of tools, code and documentation used by developers to create apps targeting a specific hardware or software platform.

Signaling

An indication, flag, or signal of support for a feature or fork. The term signaling is most often used in the context of miners delivering this indication of support or agreement. The message is generally delivered through their adoption of updated software in support of a particular protocol and/or by setting a specific version bit within discovered blocks.

State View

The current state of all data objects once all changes from state transitions have been applied. Used in Evolution to determine what should be displayed in a given social wallet, for example.

Spork

The Dash development team created a mechanism known as a «spork» by which updated code is released to the network, but not immediately made active (or “enforced”). Communication is sent out to users informing them of the change and the need for them to update their clients. Those who update their clients run the new code, but in the event of errors occurring with that new code, the client’s blocks are not rejected by the network and unintended forks are avoided. Data about the error can then be collected and forwarded to the development team. Once the development team is satisfied with the new code’s stability in the mainnet environment – and once acceptable network consensus is attained – enforcement of the updated code can be activated remotely. Should problems arise, the code can be deactivated in the same manner, without the need for a network-wide rollback or client update.

Tainted Coins

Taint is a measure of correlation between two (wallet) addresses. It is only important if the user is trying to remain anonymous.

tDash

Test Dash, usado no Testnet.

Testnet

Testnet é uma rede apenas para testes (paralela à Rede Principal), Test QT Wallets, Test Coins, Test Masternodes, Test Miners e testadores (públicos) estão simulando Mainnet.

Tor

Um protocolo de roteamento anônimo, usado por pessoas que querem ocultar sua identidade on-line.

Transaction

Some movement of data on the distributed blockchain ledger. Transactions may be divided into classical and special transactions. Similar to Bitcoin, classical transactions move balances between addresses on the blockchain. Special transactions contain an extra payload in the format defined by DIP2, and can be used to manage blockchain users, for example.

Transaction Block

Uma coleção de transações na rede Dash, reunidas em um bloco que pode então ser hashed e adicionado ao blockchain.

Transaction Fee

Uma pequena taxa imposta em algumas transações enviadas através da rede Dash. A taxa de transação é concedida ao minerador que com êxito minero o bloco contendo a transação relevante.

Unconfirmed Transactions

Transactions that are not yet processed by miners or held via InstantSend are «unconfirmed on the blockchain.» Unconfirmed transactions can be reversed and should not be considered as «final.»

Vanity Address

Um endereço Dash com um padrão desejável, como um nome.

Virgin Dash

Recebeu como recompensa por explorar um bloco ou executar um Masternode. Estes ainda não foram gastos em qualquer lugar e são «Virgem».

Volatility

A mensuração dos movimentos de preços ao longo do tempo para um ativo financeiro negociado (incluindo Dash).

Wallet

Um método de armazenamento da Dash para uso posterior. Uma carteira contém as chaves privadas associadas aos endereços Dash. O blockchain é o registro dos valores de Dash associados a esses endereços.

Whitepaper

Um whitepaper é um relatório autoritativo ou guia que informa os leitores concisamente sobre uma questão complexa e apresenta a filosofia do organismo emissor sobre o assunto. Destina-se a ajudar os leitores a entender um problema, a resolver um problema ou a tomar uma decisão.

X11

X11 é um algoritmo hashing criado pelo desenvolvedor da Dash, Evan Duffield.

Zero Confirmations

This is a transaction without any confirmations from the blockchain. It is technically reversible (unless InstantSend was used).

vin

A transaction (tx) consists of one or more inputs and one or more outputs. The vin is the list of inputs to the transaction, and vout is the list of outputs. Masternodes require a 1000 DASH vin (exactly that amount) in order to work.

VMN

Virtual Masternode - a standalone masternode emulator in JavaScript that simulates Layer 1-3 Evolution functions for DAP design, development and testing.
