public key, and people who want to donate bitcoins would need then<br>
send you the bitcoins by downloading the bitcoin application and<br>
sending it to you<br>
<br>
quote:<br>
<br>
"Bitcoin utilizes public/private key digital signatures (ECDSA). A<br>
coin has its owner's public key on it. When a coin is transferred from<br>
user A to user B, A adds B�s public key to the coin and signs it with<br>
his own private key. Now B owns the coin and can transfer it further.<br>
To prevent A from transferring the already used coin to another user<br>
C, a public list of all the previous transactions is collectively<br>
maintained by the network of Bitcoin nodes, and before each<br>
transaction the coin�s unusedness will be checked."<br>
