A.1. Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a programme that executes Smart Contract (SC) on the Ethereum Blockchain network. EVM is part of every Ethereum full node and it reads Bytecode instructions from SCs. Solidity is the Ethereum programming language that is compiled into Bytecode instructions for each SC.

A.2. EVM can only read Bytecode instructions.

A.3. The relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode is through the compiler. This software converts Solidity to Bytecode in order to EVMs execute SCs.

A.4. Bitcoin (BTC) cannot run the same type of complex programmes like Ethereum because BTC was designed to be a peer-to-peer electronic cash system and therefore uses Turing incomplete language programme called Script. Script allows multiple signature programming for BTC wallets. On the other hand, Ethereum allows programmability, scripting and looping processes.

A.5. A Turing complete programming language refers to a system that is able to execute any logical step of a computational function—solve mathematical problems. In other words, inputs and outputs; if these make sense then the task can repeat several times or even in a series of loops (infinite times). Solidity is a Turing complete language for the Ethereum network the same way Java is to the World Wide Web.

EVM can read and execute smart contracts. It reads the smart contract, calculates the smart contract in a way that it reaches to a result. That result will be the mark that every node has to hit in order to reach consensus.
EVM reads bytecode
Solidity is ethereum programming language which is translated in bytecode so that EVM can execute it.
Bitcoin cannot run the same type complex programs as ethereum because the developers of Bitcoin preferred to keep bitcoin programming language not turing complete.
In turing complete language everything is programmable (in theory)

  1. EVM makes it possible to execute code on a network in such way that everyone’s in consensus with the result.
  2. EVM can read and execute smart contracts. EVM on each different nodes must execute all instructions and must reach the same results so that all parties are on consensus.
  3. Compiler with a special application which takes the solidity code and compile the logic into Byte code and the EVM reads it.
  4. Bitcoin is not Turing Complete, which means it isn’t able to solve all the problems. Bitcoin was mainly conceived to be digital money/gold and nothing else.
  5. Turing Complete language has loops, which is a feature dictating softwares to execute one thing several times.

  1. EVM s a virtual machine that all nodes in the network have and responsible for executing the smart contracts by producing machiine code that enables using CPU of the node.
  2. EVM bytecode
  3. You can program with solidity. A compiler will translate it to byte code and EVM read it to execute the instructions.
    4)Since the programing language of Bitcoin, Script, is not Turing complete which means it can not handle the loops.
  4. In theory, you can program anything and it can handle the loops.

  1. EVM is a blockchain based virtual software platform that allows developers to create decentralised applications (dapps) on the ethereum network. It is instrumental to the consensus engine of ETH and allows anyone to execute code in a trustless ecosystem in which the result can be guaranteed all the time (smart contracts) in a secured setting.

  2. EVM reads bytecode.

  3. Solidity is the programming language on the ETH network that when put through the compiler, will produce bytecodes that which the EVM is able to process.

  4. Because the programming language of Bitcoin (script) is highly primitive (not Turing Complete) and so can only execute very basic instructions.

  5. Courtesy of the great Alan Turing, a Turing-complete programming language is any programming system that is capable of solving complex computational problems and has infinite random access memory with a finite program that dictates when it should read, write and move across that memory, when it should terminate and what it should do next, including repeatability as in the cases of loops.

1. What does the EVM do?
The Ethereum Virtual Machine [EVM] is a virtual machine [VM] that reads small piecies of code known as Smart Contracts. These Smart Contracts are written in a programming language known as Solidity. The Solidity Smart Contracts are compiled into Bytecode (OPs Code), then executed by the EVM onto the network.

2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
The format the EVM can read is a programming language known as Solidity. Which are small pieces of code and/ or Smart Contracts for programmable assets.

3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
Smart Contracts written in the Solidity programming language is compiled into Byte Code, then executed by the EVM to the network.

  1. EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is a piece of code that all computers are running in the ETH network(which are running on top of the existing hardware of each node). It reads and executes the code on the ETH network in such a way that all nodes are in conensus about what the result should be. It will use the CPU and all other resources that the node has. It ensures that the SC doesn’t break loose and take over your computer/network(security)
  2. Bytecode. The EVM doesn’t care about the programming language used, it only cares about the bytecode that it receives and executes it by instruction after instruction.
  3. Solidity compiles to Bytecode.The EVM reads the SC in Solidity and compiles the code down to Bytecode.
  4. Bitcoin doesn’t use a turning complete coding language. It uses script so that it is limited and can’t solve all problems that it might has to solve.
  5. A turning complete language is a coding language that can be used to programm anything.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    EVM = Ethereum Virtual Machine. The EVM creates a safe environment where smart contracts can be read and executed on the ETH network. The EVM compiles the smart contract from solidity into Bytecode. At the same time it guarantees that no malicious code is executed on the node’s hardware. In order to execute a smart contract there must be consensus in all nodes.

  2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
    I thought the EVM reads solidity and transforms it into Bytecode, but reading through the posts made me question that statement a little bit. Which way round it it?

  3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
    Smart Contracts are written in Solidity. In order for the node’s hardware to read that code it is transformed into Bytecode. Bytecode allows the node’s hardware to process the smart contracts code and therefore the EVM to execute the smart contract.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Bitcoin uses a programming language (Scrypt) that not turing complete. Therefore not all algorithms can be executed.

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
    Turing Complete is a theoretical concept that identifies the power of a programming language. With Turing Complete, any possible algorithm can be implemented and excecuted.

Did I get those things right? Did I use the terminology correctly?
