The Bitcoin protocol illustrated / About

Why Bitcoin Depicted?

This website illustrates the Bitcoin protocol. The illustrations that you find while browsing this site are meant to give a reasonably detailed overview of the inner workings of the protocol.

Bare in mind, the content of this site only reflects my current understanding of the protocol and, as such, it is far from being finished. My intention is to refine it over time as I learn more.
