Abstract
In the previous chapter, I covered basic concepts related to blockchain and the pieces that make up an individual blockchain. I covered how blockchain technology solved the double spending problem by utilizing a P2P network, which led to the creation of a global distributed shared ledger and digital cash. The blockchain P2P network is stitched together by connecting multiple nodes, and in this chapter, you will be taking a closer look at the nodes that make up the network.
