The UTXO is a method of keeping balance, avoiding double spend, and maintaining chain of ownership in a decentralized transaction ledger made famous by bitcoin, and later, Litecoin, DigiByte is a critical topic to understand for blockchain beginners. In this series of blockchain explained for beginners, some of the most often overlooked "how does blockchain work" topics will be addressed.

    Great explanation. During a mining transaction where bitcoins are made out of thin air, how do inputs = outputs? How does utxo apply here? Thank you.

    • @Hashoshi4
      @Hashoshi4  4 роки тому +3

      Good question! In a mining transaction these unspent outputs are "credited" to a miner's wallet, so think of it like the beginning of a new chain of unspent outputs. That miner then can spend that bitcoin in any denomination he/she wants and that UTXO history expands like a tree

    So block is supposed to be immutable so that hash can remain same, but when utxo is spent there has to be changes made in blockchain to signify the transaction is utxo or not ?

    • @Hashoshi4

      Transactions outline the inputs and outputs for a given exchange of value... so one transaction might have multiple inputs and outputs to cover the spend. No changes happen after block validation.

    I'm still struggling to wrap my head around a couple things:
    1. What determines the size of a UTXO?
    2. Why are transactions not exact? Why are UTXO's necessary in the first place? for example why spend .6 BTC to buy .5 BTC and get .1 back when the system can just spend .5 BTC and get nothing back? ...is this maybe to ensure that fluctuating transaction fees are fulfilled?

    • @Hashoshi4
      @Hashoshi4  3 роки тому +1

      If you have an unspent output of say .5BTC, and you want to send your friend .1BTC, you have to create a transaction for .1BTC to your friend and .4BTC back to you. Then those .1 BTC and .4BTC become unspent outputs to use. Hope that makes sense.
      To take that a step further, if you have 1 BTC composed of .5 and .5 unspent outputs, you'd only need to "spend" one .5 BTC output to send your friend .1

    • @Hashoshi4
      @Hashoshi4  4 роки тому +2

      You can divide it as much as you want, but each time that you do so, you have to explicitly identify where each piece of that unspent output goes. I could send one satoshi (tiny piece of bitcoin) to you out of a 1BTC unspent output, which would create two new outputs, one for .9999999999999 BTC to me, and the 1 satoshi to you.

    • @Hashoshi4
      @Hashoshi4  4 роки тому

      this is how your scenario would work:
      you have one blockchain that multiple users are operating on. Each user has a set of keys (public and private) where the public key is like the username and the private key is like the password to unlock and send funds. User A has 2.8 Bitcoin, User B has .4 Bitcoin. When user A sends 2.6 Bitcoin to User B, he creates two UTXO's in the transaction, one addressed to User B's public key address for 2.6 Bitcoin and one to himself for .2 Bitcoin. In this transaction, two UTXO's are created. Then, User A uses his private key (the one we likened to a password) to sign the transaction like a digital check. That transaction is then included as one of many transactions inside a block on the blockchain after it goes through verification.

    I'm just up to the chapter on Transactions in the "Mastering Bitcoin" book. The problem I see with the UTXO model is that you have to pay more fees when you have multiple transactions when adding up the coins you'll need to send. Fees = sum(inputs) - sum(outputs)

    dude...... but why do we care? if it's just a behind the scene accounting system... then great.... but why does the user need to deal with it? so basically it's not adding value, it's just boasting about a checks and balances receipt system..... I don't get it.

      3000trin because the debit and credit system is almost purpose-built for central control. A UTXO model is lightweight enough to accommodate accounting in a digital ledger reconciled by large volumes of unacquainted nodes in a network.
      In short, it’s a small piece of a larger suite of technologies and mechanisms that enable true distributed, decentralized transaction networks with sound accounting processes
