Preparing your own meals is an ability everyone should develop; even us geeks. With the economy as it is and the ever-increasing attention we’re all paying attention to our diets, you can save money and eat healthier by simply preparing your own meals.

But what is a geek to do?

The only gadget I used in the kitchen was the microwave, but by using the resources I’m about to share, I went from eating only nuked frozen foods to eating healthy meals I prepared myself.

In this TechTip, I’m sharing my kitchen resources for geeks.

“…Always make sure to wipe down your device with a germ-killing cleanser when using it in the kitchen!”

What are Bitcoins?

Bitcoin is a digital peer-to-peer currency system that provides a decentralized method for performing transactions.

Bitcoins (BTC) are also the name of the unit of currency. The Bitcoin protocol is based off a paper by Satoshi Nakamoto called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” that is designed to allow monetary transactions between users without a central authority like a bank or services like PayPal.

Avoiding a central authority allows you to be anonymous, can lower the cost of transactions, prevents your account from being frozen, and lowers the entry barrier for new users. Of course, without a central authority, that leaves nobody to make sure users are not counterfeiting or double-spending their money, right? The Bitcoin protocol protects against this using its peer-to-peer technology to verify each transaction and make sure only the authorized users are transferring their own bitcoins.

“…When you make a transaction, it is announced to everyone on the network, so everyone knows your wallet made a transaction to another wallet to prevent double-spending.”
