In the next screen you will see forms with fields to enter the data for several pools. This is for backup in case one pool is down, so your miner can jump to the other.

**Accounts and balances:** The addresses and accounts in blockchains such as Bitcoin and ETC are the actual property registries. These accounts with their balances and other assets assigned to them enable users to exclusively control their wealth and applications through their private keys.

**Decentralized applications (Dapps):** As smart contracts are unstoppable and provide general programmability, dapps (which is the the name applications inside these decentralized systems) enable a more ample number of rights that are very difficult to tamper with, attack, interrupt, or intervene.

When Nick Szabo saw the mechanics of HashCash he immediately realized that the proof of work and the computational work that computers had to do to create them was analogous to gold, hence [Bit Gold](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/bit-gold/).

In the the real world a unit of gold is like a proof that a gold miner did a lot of work to find it, this is the reason for the use of the term “mining” in proof of work blockchains.

However, POW is not the consensus mechanism itself, as we explained in the previous section, it is just one of the steps, albeit the most critical one, in Nakamoto Consensus.

## The Risks of Third Party Nodes

In a way, a blockchain is a kind of trusted third party, but the fact the the network is decentralized, and the data is replicated in all nodes globally, minimizes the influence of these trusted third parties to a sufficient degree that the security to users’ is very high.

However, even if one uses their own private keys and addresses, if the sending of transactions and querying of the blockchain is done through remote trusted third party nodes, then a significant part of the security to users is diminished.
