Everything you Need to Know About Blockchains, Cryptocurrencies and Other Altcoins (Layer-1 and Layer-2 Scaling)
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that allows for decentralized and distributed storage of information. Maybe the hottest topic at the moment in the field of software engineering - besides artificial intelligence and machine learning - is blockchain technology. Many experts in the industry predict that the blockchain will disrupt the ways we interact with technology.
In this course you will learn about the basics of blockchain technology as well as about cryptocurrencies. You can learn about the concrete implementation of these technologies in Java - although you can skip the implementation parts if you wish.
Chapter 1 - Blockchain Theory
the fundamental basics of blockchain technology
SHA-256 hashing technique
centralized and decentralized ledgers
the concept of mining (and miners)
consensus algorithms
proof of work (PoW) and proof of stake (PoS)
the byzantine generals problem
Chapter 2 - Blockchain Implementation
implementing a simple blockchain from scratch in Java
Chapter 3 - Cryptocurrency Theory
motivation behind cryptocurrencies
Merkle trees and transaction verification algorithms
mining in cryptocurrencies
mempools
unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs)
elliptic curve cryptography in cryptocurrencies
what is a wallet?
orpahned blocks and the block verification problem
the 51% attack
soft fork and hard fork
Chapter 4 - Cryptocurrency Implementation
implementing a simple cryptocurrency from scratch in Java
Chapter 5 - Altcoins & Cryptocurrency Evolution
Ethereum, Solidity and the Ether cryptocurrency
what are ICOs?
cardano and ADA
altcoins
LiteCoin (LTC)
Dash
layer 1 and layer-2 scaling solutions
sharding and rollups (zk-rollups and zk-snarks)
coins and tokens

My name is Balazs Holczer. I am from Budapest, Hungary. I am qualified as a physicist. At the moment I am working as a simulation engineer at a multinational company. I have been interested in algorithms and data structures and its implementations especially in Java since university. Later on I got acquainted with machine learning techniques, artificial intelligence, numerical methods...
Got the basic understanding of the blockchain concept.
好
I think could almost cut out the section 6. Kind of glaze over listening to most of it. But ZK-Snark is cool.
Easy to grasp course materials
This block chain course is amazing, got a good understanding about block chain and cryptography algorithms.

Vraiment bien expliqué
Very GOOD
The introduction is quite good but I am worried about the practical part such as the algorithm
