Blockchain in a Box (Docker: Educational Crypto Nodes with Lesson Plans)
- Beckmeister 8mo agoSince about 2012 I have been teaching students about blockchain using a customized version of Litecoin. Students would open up a Ubuntu VM that had a CPU miner and what is basically a Bitcoin CLI ready to go. They learned all about blockchain and competed for coin throughout the course of 6 to 8 weeks. This new project improves on this unit but making it portable so that students/teachers can get started with a single docker-compose. I have had a group of students helping me troubleshoot and test it out this week. The application is working for us, and it has just been a ton of fun. Thought I would share. Lesson plan included. (All Open Source.)
