The blockchain is a distributed ledger for data storage without any core unit. All the network participants have equal rights, without any privileges. The main idea is that the database is stored on all the computers within the network. Each block is encrypted basing upon the data in the previous one. Any attempt of hacking one of the blocks will corrupt the chain and will be terminated before any data are affected.

As a result the operations of some of the companies were paralyzed for approximately two weeks.

In early 2017 the implementation of the project was started. For BitFury, established in 2010 and successfully operating since that time, this is the first project outside mining and mining equipment production markets.\n\n\n\nThe government of the Republic of Armenia has different vision of blockchain implementation prospects. Currently the officials discuss the initiative of creating an IT-hub for startups developing products based upon the distributed ledger technology, artificial intelligence, machine and deep learning. It is also planned to launch an acceleration program for innovative startups from all over the world and set up a data-center for their needs. This initiative will help to raise funds and form the basis for human capital assets growth.\n\n\n\n‘This initiative implementation will aid the development of high-tech projects in the country and will give Armenia an opportunity to become on of the technological leaders on the global stage, raise funds and create employment. No doubt, it will give an additional impulse to the country’s economy’, stated the Minister of Economic Development and Investment of the Republic of Armenia Suren Karayan.\n\n\n\nAs a part of the initiative the first Armenian Blockchain Forum was held on April 22nd, 2018. The event convened more than 30 speakers from 20 countries and the representatives of investment funds with an overall capital amounting to $10 billion. The experts discussed the strategic development of the blockchain industry in Armenia, presented the case studies of how innovative technologies contribute to setting up sustainable economies in small countries and brought to light the breakthrough opportunities they bring.\n\n\n\nThe further educational initiatives include a series of meetups, workshops, hackathons and many other events to increase the level of awareness in the fields of hi-tech and innovations.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is cryptocurrency and blockchain in simple words?\n\n\n\n\nVisit ECOS website\n\n\n\n\nFacebook\n\nReddit\n\nTelegram\n\nVK\n\nYouTube\n\nTwitter\n\nInstagram","\u003Cdiv id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n\u003Cspan class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003Cnav>\u003Cul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' >\u003Cli class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'>\u003Ca class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fecos.am\u002Fen\u002Fblog\u002Fblockchain#Identity_Verification_and_Private_Information_Storage\" >Identity Verification and Private Information Storage\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'>\u003Ca class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fecos.am\u002Fen\u002Fblog\u002Fblockchain#Financial_Operations\" >Financial Operations\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'>\u003Ca class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fecos.am\u002Fen\u002Fblog\u002Fblockchain#Government_technologies_e-document_flow_register_of_properties_business_registration_elections\" >Government technologies, e-document flow, register of properties, business registration, elections\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003C\u002Fnav>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\u003Cp>When we talk about the blockchain, we tend to associate it with finance, or cryptocurrency, to be exact.
