Assuming a 10-12 pound whole brisket and 1-1/2 hours of cooking time per pound as a guideline, calculate how long it will take to cook the brisket. For example, a 12 pound brisket will take approximately 18 hours to cook. Divide this time in half. The first time to turn the brisket is after 9 hours of cooking.
The blockchain is a distributed, public ledger that contains the history of every bitcoin transaction. Anyone can download a copy of the blockchain, and it can be inspected to trace the path of bitcoins from one bitcoin transaction to another. A Block refers to a set of Bitcoin transactions from a certain time period.
Wait, What Is Blockchain? Though it sounds like a series of defensive maneuvers ripped out of an NFL playbook, the blockchain is actually a way to structure data, and the foundation of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
