How Ballscoin Works

It works. Don't worry about it.

The Network

Ballscoin runs on a network of computers. These computers talk to each other. They agree on things. It's all very democratic and decentralized.

When you send Ballscoin, the network checks if you actually have it. If you do, great. If you don't, tough luck. The network knows. The network always knows.

The whole thing is held together by cryptography, which is basically really hard math. The math keeps everything secure. We think. The math people say it does.

Transactions

Sending Ballscoin is easy. You just... send it. Your wallet does the complicated stuff. Digital signatures, hashing, all that. You don't need to understand it.

Once it's sent, it's sent. No takebacksies. No "I didn't mean to" button. This is peer-to-peer electronic cash, not your bank.

Transactions get confirmed in about 10 minutes. Sometimes faster. Sometimes slower. It depends on the fees, network conditions, and honestly just vibes.

The Ledger

Everything gets written down. Not on paper. On the blockchain. Which is like a really long receipt that everyone has a copy of. Every transaction ever. Just sitting there. Forever.

You can't edit the blockchain. It's append-only. Like a diary you can't erase. Except it's a public diary. That everyone can read. But no one knows it's you. Probably.

The whole thing is secured by something called a "hash chain" which sounds complicated but basically means you can't cheat. The math won't let you. Take that, double-spenders.

Security

Ballscoin is secured by cryptography. Big numbers. Really big numbers. So big that even if you tried really hard, you couldn't break it. Theoretically.

Your keys, your coins. Their keys, their coins. Lose your keys? Lose your coins. It's that simple. And that permanent.

The network is protected by lots of computers all working together. To attack it, you'd need more computers than everyone else combined. Good luck with that. We'll wait.
