Basisprincipes
The distributed ledger is an open network that is public to everyone.
Every participant in the network can validate transactions.
The ledger is distributed and exists in many different nodes on the network (this removes the involvement of a trusted third party).
The concept of miners and the role of miners are to validate transactions within the ledger by solving calculations.
