.A merkle path used to prove inclusion of a data element

The code in <<merkle_example>> demonstrates the process of creating a
|

merkle tree from the leaf-node hashes up to the root, using the

libbitcoin library for some helper functions.

any other character will produce a different hash.

Now, if we change the phrase, we should expect to see completely

different hashes. Let's try that by adding a number to the end of our

phrase, using the simple Python scripting in

Each phrase produces a completely different hash result. They seem
|
||||
completely random, but you can reproduce the exact results in this
|
||||
example on any computer with Python and see the same exact hashes.
|
||||
|
||||
The number used as a variable in such a scenario is called a _nonce_.
|
||||
The nonce is used to vary the output of a cryptographic function, in
|
||||
this case to vary the SHA256 fingerprint of the phrase.
