Ask HN: Blockchain Development Resources
Hi,
I want to get deeper understanding and more involvement in blockchain development area. Please note that I'm not talking about on-blockchain development (smart contracts, etc...), but about development of the underlying blockchain technology.
If I would want to build a new blockchain (just hypothetically - I know I should use existing ones) what would be the best
- discussion boards on that topic?
- bloggers to follow?
- three blockchain projects to look at from the architecture and code quality point of views?
- resources for starting out? (I'm an experienced developer, so not "for Dummies" series. I need enough theory to build solid foundation, but I don't plan to do PhD :-))
Thanks a bunch!
- dozzie 9y agoStart with learning cryptography systematically. No, just reading about symmetric encryption and hash functions doesn't cut it.
- sanefive 9y agoHello, I am not a developer, but if I may share my humble knowledge here, I think the most common starting point is to reuse Ethereum standard. 50% of the new blockchain-based services being launched are using this standard... I advise you to read the white paper if you have not done it yet :)
- anilmujagic 9y agoWhat do you mean by "Ethereum standard"? If you're talking about ERC20 token standard, that's exactly what OP said (s)he is not aiming for.
