wikipedia:Bitcoin (Oct 2008, BTC) is based on secp256k1 elliptic curve encrypted with the ECDSA algorithm.
- Bitcoin genesis block: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
The PoW requires miners to find a number called a nonce, such that when the block content is hashed along with the nonce, the result is numerically smaller than the network's difficulty target.
