Re: Newbie in C++ wants deep learning on BTC and Alts

Read the technical documentation and read the source code of Bitcoin Core.

A good start.

If you want to learn it properly, implement your own coin and network - from scratch.

No, I just want to understand everything about Bitcoin, blockchains and whatnot. I want to also have the ability to judge, technically, if a project is viable or not.

Then you must have a lot of research on that, there's a lot of discussion here regarding your concerned you must read and learn, try to go on Development & Technical Discussion here's the link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0

rofl. Thanks for the link. It felt like I was in the movie Inception.

By the way, I've been learning a lot the last couple of days. I didn't realize that blockchains are hashes of hashes of hashes of hashes linked together. At least that's how I understood it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Why don't you read the code and try to understand and maybe try to write your own script? This is how I started, I don't want to read, I want practical practices so I decided to put a more hands on approach so that I can really understand and I made great stride learning it.
