What is a Coinbase transaction, and how is it created?
This question falls into the general category. Interviewers can ask any type of question at any time during the interview. Rather than trying to predict how the interview will flow and the type of questions you will be asked, you should be prepared to answer any question. The best way to do this is to research the job, the company, and even the interviewer before the interview. The more you know about these three topics, the better prepared you will be to answer any questions you may be asked.
"A Coinbase transaction is the first transaction created for a new block within a Bitcoin transaction. Coinbase transactions are created by Miners using the Proof-of-work algorithm. Miners are incented to create new Bitcoin ends by receiving a monetary reward for each coin they mine. While initially simple, this activity now requires a great deal of computing power and electricity and has become highly competitive."
