If a Proof of Work blockchain such a s Bitcoin or Ethereum changed to a Proof of Stake consensus paradigm, which key component of the Proof of Work process would be eliminated?
Answer : A
When considering tokens on the Ethereum Blockchain what is the main difference between ERC20 and ERC721 tokens?
Answer : C
Non-fungible means unique. ERC is acronym of Ethereum Request for Comments. A standard allows for the implementation of a standard API for creating non-fungible tokens. To whom not familiar, ethereum, when launched during ICO, is using ERC-20 which ethereum coin can be broken down into smaller portion such as 0.000001. As you know, in coin, we don't differentiate it by serial number. Government only uses ''serial number'' to track the note and not on coin. Hence, there is no way to distinguish or trace your coin and my coin. This behavior is same in Ethereum coin. Startup has found a way to use ERC-721 to create a unique and traceable coin in ethereum blockchain technology. This is a break through in blockchain technology.
Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256) output is always 256 bits or 32 bytes in length regardless of the length of the input (even if input is millions of bytes). Select best answer.
Answer : D
SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. This is used to prove data integrity. The same input(s) will always produce the exact same output. This output is always 256 bits or 32 bytes in length regardless of the length of the input (even if input is millions of bytes).
What are some advantages of Proof of Stake(POS) mining over Proof of Work(POW) mining? (Select three.)
Answer : A, C, D
This eliminates the below challenges from PoW and believed to have an advantage.
No need of expensive hardware (a normal laptop or computer running the respective coin's Validator client will do as long as your laptop or computer is online)
Energy efficient as it won't consume high electricity as PoW does More loyal Validators As higher the stake the Validators have for a long time, more chances for the Validator to be picked up for ''forging'' and earn the transaction fee Faster validations
What are two specific advantages of using Hyperledger Fabric? (Select two.)
Answer : C, D
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort created for open industrial blockchain development. It started in December 2015 by the Linux Foundation.
