Title: Is there a newbie friendly source for learning bitcoin scripting
Post by: Coding Enthusiast on March 24, 2017, 04:25:04 AM
I wanted to start learning more about how the "Scripting System in Bitcoin" works and it would be great if I had some easier source than the source code which is in C++[1] :'( or the wiki[2]. So if you have any good sources with easy explanations please introduce me to them.
P.S. Bitcoin Script for dummies[3] doesn't work anymore (DNS problem?)

Start with machine code https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A-level_Computing/AQA/Computer_Components,_The_Stored_Program_Concept_and_the_Internet/Machine_Level_Architecture/Machine_code_and_processor_instruction_set

Then I think this one is helpful
