1. A method of securely communicating and storing information among a network of computing devices comprising:
generating a first block of a block chain, wherein the block chain is configured according to a first configuration setting and the first block is generated consistent with and based on the first configuration setting, the first block comprising a second reference data portion;
generating a second block of the block chain and adding the second block to the block chain including the first block, wherein the second block is generated consistent with and based on the first configuration setting, the second block corresponding to a first transaction, the second block comprising:
a first reference data portion based at least in part on the second reference data portion of the first block;
a second reference data portion, wherein the second reference data portion of the second block is configured to correspond to a third block;
a type block of data that indicates a type of the first transaction;
a transaction detail block of data that includes information describing the first transaction;
an ordering block of data that corresponds to an order in the block chain of the second block relative to the first block; and
a signature block of data that identifies an entity;
reconfiguring the block chain according to a second configuration setting different than the first configuration setting; and
generating the third block of the block chain and adding the third block to the block chain including the first block and the second block, the third block corresponding to a second transaction, wherein the second block is generated consistent with and based on the second configuration setting, the third block comprising a first reference data portion based at least in part on the second reference data portion of the second block.
