This message is encrypted in   the form of a digital signature which is different for different transaction. This message is now encoded in a file and ready for the next step. Broadcasting: The encoded file is now sent to other computers that hold a copy of the block chain, this is know as a node . Each node gets a copy of this file and verifies the file and passed on to other nodes that repeat this process. By this way the bicoin amount is broadcasted in the form of and encoded fi

Mining can be done by any computational device, but only the devices that have good computational speeds can validate a transaction faster. Mining speed depends on the Hash-rate or Hash-power which varies from system to system.  The Space where mining is done is cal
