RE: Blockchain for Dummies: A starter's guide to understand the Blockchain Part 4 - Blockchain and the Bitcoin

in #blockchain7 years ago

I’ll have to go through these, I know the basics, but there are a bunch of gaps in my understanding. Im still not sure what smart contracts are and how other proofs besides proof of work actually work. Reading the Etherium whitepaper soon...

Sort:  

I really do not like to read white papers myself because they are sometimes too technical. I am not really interested in knowing how something works from a technical point of view, but I would like to know how something works and why it is designed that way as a very good summary or explanation post.

That was also the main reason why I started a Blockchain for dummies post, to summarize all I know and what I have been learning about the Blockchain.

I know what you mean. I just want to get into the heads of the people who are developing this stuff a little to see where they are coming from. Interviews work too, but theres no chance with Mr. “Nakamoto” so I did read bitcoin. Etherium and steemit are the only other two I’m going to read for now.

Makes sense to read on Steemit since we are committed long term to it. Etherium because of its helpfulness in many applications makes it worth a read!

I have TON (Telegram Open Network) and SMTs on my list to read. (SMT since the time it came out).
