In the near future I will be demonstrating more concepts using Python code, Jupyter notebook, and Rust. I will be sharing my progress as I learn about Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core and all things related to Bitcoin’s code. I also recently passed CS120: Bitcoin for Developers with Saylor.org: Certificate : https://certificates.saylor.org/d74173c9-1dde-409b-9aa5-70603d066ce5 Run your own node All […]
Using secp256k1 Rust bindings for Pieter Wuille’s secp256k1 library, which is used for fast and accurate manipulation of ECDSA signatures on the secp256k1 curve. Such signatures are used extensively by the Bitcoin network and its derivatives. secp256k1 This article shows the code used to create a public/private keypair using secp.generate_keypair in Rust. Also, make sure […]
The idea is to use “regtest” to try out bitcoin-cli with RPC and create a wallet, create a transaction. This is not about mining, this is about the code used to “Buy” or “Sell” Bitcoin and how you can interact with the blockchain using either the bitcoin-cli or Python code. https://github.com/RGGH/bitcoin
Did you know that when “sending” Bitcoin you actually don’t send the correct amount in the transaction? Did you know that Bitcoin has its own scripting language based on an old language called “Forth” ? Did you know that there can be more Bitcoin addresses than grains of sand on Earth? Did you know that […]
