The list of reading material is the Blockchain: Reading List. In addition, you have the lecture notes and the assignments.

In the examination of the Blockchain module, you will draw and answer 2 questions.

The first question

The first question will be about a general blockchain topic (from the lectures / books). You will get one (randomly selected) of these:

• How is a payment carried out in the Bitcoin network?
• Distributed consensus
• What is a blockchain?
• Scripts and Smart contracts
• Scaling and speed
• Applications / use cases

The second question

The second question will be more about technical details (from the assignments). You will get one (randomly selected) of these:

• Inputs and outputs
• Transactions, signing, validation
• Private key, public key, address, signature
• What is hashing used for?
• The UTXO-set
• Mining, nonce, “target”

It is preferrable that you elaborate on your own. You will probably get follow-up questions. The total examination time for this module is ~10 minutes. You are not allowed to bring notes.
