Need help with Ethereum Development course review
by
kshilov
on 21/03/2018, 15:28:24 UTC
Hi, Guys!

Currently I'm building educational website for all regarding blockchain. I have collected a catalogue of top-100 blockchain courses and contacted course authors for details.
Now I need your reviews. Will be appriciated for help.

Just want to start with this course: https://howtotoken.com/courses/ethereum-blockchain-developer-build-projects-using-solidity/

This is what I have right now

What you’ll learn?

Basically, it’s a course on blockchain development for beginners. It covers the way blockchain works, how to launch an IDE for Ethereum development, what smart contracts are and how to write one in Solidity and deploy it on Ethereum’s blockchain. The part on smart contracts is seemingly the most important one in the course. All in all there are 85 lectures that run for almost 7 hours, but keep in mind that you’ll have to spend a lot of time on practical coding assignments, so the completion of the course will take longer than 7 hours. Prior programming experience will certainly be helpful.

Who are the instructors?


There are two instructors on the course – Ravinder Deol and Thomas Wiesner. Ravinder is the founder of B21Block platform for education in blockchain, so he is a specialist in making blockchain-related courses. He now co-teaches 24 courses on Udemy, and definitely he could not keep up with this workload alone. That’s probably why at some point he started inviting co-instructors on his courses. In this one Thomas is the main instructor, but as Ravinder is kind of a big name in blockchain education, he is listed first, probably to lure more students.

What’s so special about this course?

This one is good mainly because of Thomas. Unlike Ravinder, he is not a big name, but that might be even better for students – while Ravinder pays a lot of attention to his “entrepreneurial” stuff and developing B21Block and is giving instructions from a standpoint of an optimistic blockchain evangelist, Thomas seems to be more focused on going into details. He has been working on Ethereum-based projects since 2016 and has come all the way from a beginner to an advanced developer himself. That’s cool as the guy still remembers what it’s like to be a beginner and knows how to present material so that anyone can understand it. Another good thing is that before making videos he was writing how-to guides (you can sample some in his blog), so he is used to structuring material in a clear manner. Thomas also has a Youtube channel, and you can check it out before joining the course to decide whether you like him or not. All in all the course gives good fundamentals to start writing your own smart contracts on Solidity, but you should keep in mind that it is updated quite rarely (the last update was in September 2017), so it does not cover some new features Truffle and other tools have got since then. Also, it’s an extremely practical course, so if you want to know more about theory/history of blockchain or its possible application in the future, look elsewhere. This one will give you mostly the hands-on experience with smart contracts.

Re: How to mine Bitcoin Gold?

Even though I am a veteran in trading, I am an absolute newbie in mining related matters. I have never tried to mine because my laptop is very old with Intel i3 processor. However, I have recently purchased a new gaming laptop with i7 processor, 12 GB ram and 4 GB DDR5 graphics card. It is still on the way and probably will receive it within another 4 days. I am planning to mine Bitcoin Gold which are going to be created after the upcoming hard fork.

Can anyone please help me with a step-by-step guide of bitcoin gold mining. I need to know from the beginning as I have no idea about mining.

Thanks in advance!

Here is step by step guide with all software and hardware and command line parameters: https://howtotoken.com/mine-bitcoin-gold-ultimate-guide/

It was created with Bitcoin Gold team, ask questions in comments to get updates

It's not too much traffic yet, but we are growing - and here is an opportunity to move in this growing with loyal conditions from our side. But the quality of traffic is surprisingly high, so I guess we really want to find a great product or a conference (for CPA model) to work with.

Bitcoin gold hard fork - detailed explanation
by
kshilov
on 19/10/2017, 09:31:28 UTC
Hi, guys!

Just want to make a podcast for my blog: howtotoken.com about bitcoin gold hard fork. I researched this theme for a while, asked questions for developers in their slack channel (https://t.co/bEMhsWn4Nx) but I still have a lot of questions, hope to find an expert or help of community to answer the rest.

So here, that we have right now:
  • 25th of October Bitcoin Gold will make a snapshot on block 491407 (which is very close to 12:00:00UTC Oct 25th)
  • BTG blockchain will start off being around 110GB, on disk
  • At the period from 25th of October and 1st of November the Bgold team will test all the stuff in testnet
  • At the 1st of November the mainnet will be updated and we could start mining Bgold
  • The guys from Bgold had 16000 blocks premined (and it will be in mainnet)
  • The reply protection doesn't implement yet

Here is an unanswered questios:
  • How to explain Equihash for dummies? I just tried to ask Alex Biryukov, but there is no an answer yet. Maybe you could help to distribute this tweet: https://twitter.com/howtotoken/status/920749539652526083
  • How premine technically possible? It seems the mainnet software will have a patch that will add this blocks to blockchain?

What else do you think will be interesting for podcast listeners on Bitcoin Gold hard fork?  (Follow the updates here: https://twitter.com/howtotoken)
