Research and discuss the block structure and concepts. Be sure to cover the below areas: Structure of a block. Minimally include: Block size Block header Version Previous block hash Merkle root hash Timestamp Difficulty target Nonce Transaction Count Transactions Describe transactions What are transactions? How do they make up the Merkle tree How is the Merkle root determined? What is the genesis block? What two things does the genesis block not have that other blocks have? How are the blocks linked together? Discuss two blockchain technologies using the Merkle tree.
