Merkle tree ethereum coin

---

The original application of Merkle proofs was in Bitcoin, as described and created by Satoshi Nakamoto in If someone needs to verify existence of a specific transaction in a block, then he doesn't have to download the entire block. So, instead of downloading the entire block; all we download is the Merkle branch that verifies that hashes inside of the branch is consistent. Each of these blocks are merkle tree ethereum coin using some cryptographic hash function. Uncle blocks are the stale blocks re-included merkle tree ethereum coin the blockchain.

This is needed for clients accessing merkle tree ethereum coin to verify data with a little low memory device such as mobile phone. The benefit that this provides is the concept that Satoshi described as "simplified payment verification": A Patricia tree is a binary radix tree also known as radix trie. The answer is that it allows for a neat mechanism known as Merkle proofs:
