Hey guys, I have created this glossary of terms to help people wanting to start with blockchain and cryptocurrencies. I hope you find it useful. Feedback is welcome!

Some suggestions:

  Colored Coin- A type of token
  Token - a currency or asset that exists on a blockchain,   created by scripting.

The entries for fork, hard fork and soft fork don't make a clear distinction between a network fork and a software fork.

Really helpful, I would add on-chain and off-chain.

The footer asking for a signup was annoying enough I just stopped reading. FYI.
