Explain the technique of hashing. How is it related to a hash function and a hash table?
Blockchain - Hashing How large is the set of inputs to a hash function? How large is the set of outputs from a hash function? Is it easy to find two different inputs that can yield the same hash? Go to https://andersbrownworth.com/blockchain/hash and enter data: "Alice sends Bob a token". What are the last three characters of the hash? Go to the Block tab and enter the same data: "Alice sends Bob a token". After clicking the "Mine" button, what are the last three characters of the hash? When generating the last hash (block tab), what information was added besides "Alice sends Bob a token" (compare to the first hash)? What is the purpose of that?
