Learn how the blockchain works with this free book filled with interactive examples! Learn: - 🎰 How hashing works - 📦 How blocks are chained together - 🛠️ Proof of work - 👯 Decentralized consensus
Hi PH 👋!
😕 Problem:
I wanted to learn about the blockchain, so I thought to my self "That couldn't be too hard!"
So I googled how a blockchain works and I had a really hard time wrapping my head around the fundamentals.
Articles were all hype and speculation, books were lengthy and boring, and the lack of interactive examples was pretty annoying. I'm not sure if you've read the 📝 Bitcoin white paper but after the second page things start to get pretty difficult.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you would've heard the words Bitcoin or Blockchain, perhaps you're heavily invested in cryptocurrencies or blockchain apps (mentally and financially). But, funnily enough, a free online resource for learning the fundamental technology behind them that the average person can pick up and understand, STILL doesn't exist.
🛠️ Solution:
A free online book with no jargon, math equations, or a cryptography and mathematics degree prerequisite. Something the average person understands without glossing over the details.
The fundamental concepts explained in simple terms and interactive examples for those who like "learning by doing".
Please note:
I've only starting writing this book about 10 days ago but I thought I'd go ahead and launch it. I'm not an expert on the blockchain, I just hope my writing style is simple enough and my coding skills are decent enough for engaging interactive examples. I'll be fixing things and adding to it as a I go so I can stay up-to-date with such rapidly changing technology!
🙏 Let me know what you think!
