Which of the following cryptocurrencies use an alternate consensus method called "Scrypt" to BTC's Proof of Work (POW) SHA-256 algorithm?
Answer : C
Explanation:
The Scrypt hash function was initially implemented by the Litecoin development team to avoid what are known, ASICs, from being able mine its cryptocurrency.
When mining for cryptocurrencies, users typically have an option between: a CPU, GPU or ASIC miner.

What are two advantages of using a DPOS algo in a blockchain? (Select two.)
Answer : AD
Explanation:
The advantages of DPoS are that it is scalable and provides fast transaction verification, but the disadvantage is that it partially centralized and the governance model has not been proven effective in a large project. DPoS is employed by Steemit, EOS, and BitShares.

When writing and considering push and pull in a smart contract that involves "user" funds would it be better to ____________________?
Answer : B
Explanation:
Withdraw funds rather than push funds to them automatically Favor pull over push for external calls as we've seen, external calls can fail for a number of reasons, including external errors. To minimize the damage caused by such failures, it is often better to isolate each external call into its own transaction that can be initiated by the recipient of the call. This is especially relevant for payments, where it is better to let users withdraw funds rather than push funds to them automatically. (This also reduces the chance of problems with the gas limit.)

When considering tokens on the Ethereum Blockchain what is the main difference between ERC20 and ERC721 tokens?
Answer : C
Explanation:
Non-fungible means unique. ERC is acronym of Ethereum Request for Comments. A standard allows for the implementation of a standard API for creating non- fungible tokens. To whom not familiar, ethereum, when launched during ICO, is using ERC-20 which ethereum coin can be broken down into smaller portion such as 0.000001. As you know, in coin, we don"™t differentiate it by serial number. Government only uses "serial number" to track the note and not on coin. Hence, there is no way to distinguish or trace your coin and my coin. This behavior is same in Ethereum coin. Startup has found a way to use ERC-721 to create a unique and traceable coin in ethereum blockchain technology. This is a break through in blockchain technology.
