Request a refund - Blockchain Support with Google Help

Posted on by
A "blockchain number" can refer to two main things: a block number, which is a sequential identifier for each block in a blockchain (also called block height), or a blockchain address, which is a unique identifier used to send and receive cryptocurrency. Block numbers are sequential, starting from 0, and identify a specific block's position, while a blockchain address is a unique identifier similar to a bank account number.  
 
  • Purpose: 
     
    It provides a clear, chronological order for the blocks and helps to verify the sequence of transactions and events.  
     
  • Identifier: 
     
    Some blockchains use a unique hexadecimal string called a block hash instead of or in addition to the number , which acts as a unique digital fingerprint for each block.  
     
  • Definition: 
     
    A sequential, ascending number that identifies a block in the chain. The first block is at height 0, and each subsequent block is numbered one higher.  
     
  • Definition: 
     
    A unique identifier, often a long string of numbers and letters, used to send and receive digital assets on a blockchain network.
  • Purpose: 
     
    It functions like a bank account number or email address, directing cryptocurrency to the correct recipient.
  • Security: 
     
    It is associated with a private key, which is like a password that gives the owner access to their assets and the ability to interact with the blockchain.  
     
Other meanings
  •  
    "Blockchain" is also the name of a company that provides cryptocurrency-related services. This could be relevant if you are looking for contact information or specific product details about the company.  
     
  •  
    There is a separate project called "Numbers Protocol" which is focused on creating a decentralized digital media library. This is a different concept from the core technology of blockchain itself.
