in crypto, remote procedure call (rpc) is a protocol that allows a program to communicate with a remote server (often a blockchain node) as if it were a local procedure call. this enables decentralized applications (dapps), wallets, and other clients to interact with a blockchain by sending requests to retrieve data or submit transactions

clip jacking is a type of cryptocurrency scam where malicious software (malware) monitors the clipboard on a device and alters any copied cryptocurrency addresses to the attacker’s own address. since cryptocurrency addresses are long and complex, most people copy and paste them during transactions rather than typing them out manually. clip jacking takes advantage of this behavior, so that when a user pastes the address into a transaction field, it’s actually the attacker’s address that gets pasted.

hashrate refers to the computational power used by miners in a cryptocurrency network to process transactions and add blocks to the blockchain. it's measured in hashes per second (h/s) and indicates how many calculations a miner can perform each second. a higher hashrate means greater mining power, making it more likely for a miner to solve the proof of work puzzle and earn rewards. it also contributes to the network's security, as a higher hashrate makes it more difficult for any single entity to manipulate the blockchain. #hashrate #cryptocurrency #mining #blockchain #proofofwork #crypto #computationalpower

a checksum is a value used to verify the integrity of a data set. it is typically created by running a cryptographic hash function or a checksum algorithm on the data before it's transmitted or stored. when the data is later retrieved or received, the same algorithm is applied, and the resulting checksum is compared to the original. if they match, it indicates that the data has not been altered or corrupted. common algorithms for generating checksums include md5, sha-1, and crc32. checksums are widely used in various applications, such as data transmission, file storage, and software distribution, to ensure data accuracy and integrity.

an evm (ethereum virtual machine) wallet is a digital wallet that allows users to interact with ethereum and other blockchains that are compatible with the evm. these wallets enable users to store, send, receive, and manage their cryptocurrency assets, as well as interact with decentralized applications (dapps) on the blockchain. examples of popular evm wallets include metamask, trust wallet, and myetherwallet.

base64 is an encoding scheme used to represent binary data in an ASCII string format. it uses a set of 64 characters (letters a-z, a-z, digits 0-9, and the symbols + and /) to encode data. this encoding is commonly used for transmitting data over media that are designed to deal with text, such as email or json, ensuring that the data remains intact without modification during transport. base64 encoding increases the size of the data by about 33%.
