The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The key technique behind the Bitcoin is blockchain, which has emerged as great innovation with a wide range of applications. The blockchain is a public ledger or a public database that maintained by all participants of the Bitcoin network. All transactions that have ever occurred in the Bitcoin network are stored and recorded in the blockchain. The main feature of the blockchain is that it does not rely on a trusted third party, i.e. central trusted authority. This paper presents a survey about blockchain software architectures and the applications that benefit from this invention.
