What are the basic requirements for developing a blockchain?

Quote

1.Know basic commands line code (C++).

2.You will need to access your computers console.

3.Invest in a book called Mastering by Andreas Anasopolous this man has a wealth of knowledge and YouTube videos and an online class at the university of Nicosia.

4.You will also need Git Hub there's lots of chain codes there.

5.Remember there are different kind of blockchains for example Ethereum is different than Bitcoin and say Open Ledger is an exchange but also a community and you can create coins in there if you can figure it out.

6. http://davidderosa.com/basic-blockchain-programming

7.Go to http://bitcoin.org there is lots of resources there you will need and say http://bitcoin.com/en/development there you will find developer communities and be able to get advice from other Devs along your way.

8.Read all about it and practice with yourself alone with the Internet dev peeps.

Well, that first post by hopeAo which you cited is substandard. It is poorly written. It makes flagrant technical mistakes; since when is C++ a basic commands line code [sic]? It mentions half the title of Mastering Bitcoin, but without providing any link for the bookas another user, pebwindkraft, had already done upthread! Much of its other information is repetitive as to prior posts, poorly written, and/or technically wrong; does the poster even know what a computers console [sic] is? Git Hub there's lots of chain codes thereseriously, that deserves merit?

I could continue picking that post apart, but I think I made my point.

It may be related that the thread was largely stupid. It started with a uselessly vague one-line question by a self-proclaimed Tactical Genius: What are the basic requirements for developing a blockchain? The very first response by Fantum was the best (First off, not having to ask that question.). Some of the other early responses were of reasonable quality. But the thread generally was trash. I myself saw that thread repeatedly pop up; I ignored it.

(As the cherry on the sundae, the thread contained two spam posts which I just reported. Thanks for drawing it to my attention.)

Any comment welcome. Thanks.

Well... you asked.

I did not look at your other selections.
