Whois & Analysis for token.im

Bitcoin is both a cryptocurrency and an electronic payment system invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, and released as open-source software in 2009.

The identity of Nakamoto remains unknown, though many have claimed to know it.

Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality.

It provides a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes.

Ethereum also provides a value token called "ether", which can be transferred between participants and is used to compensate participant nodes for computations performed.

Gas, an internal transaction pricing mechanism, is used to prevent spam on the network and allocate resources proportionally to the incentive offered by the request.

Digital asset management (DAM) consists of management tasks and decisions surrounding the ingestion, annotation, cataloguing, storage, retrieval and distribution of digital assets.

A blockchain – originally block chain – is a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of ordered records called blocks.

Each block contains a timestamp and a link to a previous block.

By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data — once recorded, the data in a block cannot be altered retroactively.

Through the use of a peer-to-peer network and a distributed timestamping server, a blockchain database is managed autonomously.

Blockchains are "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way.

The ledger itself can also be programmed to trigger transactions automatically.".

The user interface (UI), in the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur.

The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, whilst the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process.

Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls, and process controls.

The design considerations applicable when creating user interfaces are related to or involve such disciplines as ergonomics and psychology.
