Bitcoin Forum

hi, recently i am fascinated with blockchain technology & wanted to find out what is the blockchain infrastructure based on?

Which coding language is at core of blockchain?

Also, how can one understand the properties of blockchain?

Thank you

Essentially the Blockchain is a public ledger at it's core, but if you would like to learn more about the technology and the possibilities of the technology take a look at a few ted talks which go through it.

Another decent website which explains  what the Blockchain is about is here: https://blockchainhub.net/blockchain-intro/

Thanks for the link. It has very good information.
I appreciate it.

You should start by learning how Bitcoin works and its blockchain.

There are many different blockchains so start with one then take it from there as you learn more.

https://bitcoin.org

And a more generic one:

http://www.blockchaintechnologies.com/

Lots of info there to get you started.

That is awesome information. Bunch of thanks! :)

I can recommend some books:

Blockchain: Ultimate guide to understanding blockchain, bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and the future of money.
By: Mark Gates

Blockchain: The Beginners Guide To Understanding The Technology Behind Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency (The Future of Money)
By: Artemis Caro

Can buy them on Amazon or other stores :)

Great links, you provided. I have a question. All addresses are already done in databases but transactions grow. How is the database protected against overloading?

It doesn't get overloaded because it is not data intensive. Plus the Bitcoin Network itself is a cluster form of supercomputer. Actually the biggest supercomputer in the world. Since so many people are installing the bitcoin client it is becoming more and more powerful as a form of supercomputer. Not even those listed supercomputer in the Guinness Book Of World can match against its computing power.

this is what make crypto amazing as its P2P just as we all make this ship run. its going to be unbreakable that way which in order to destroy it, they would have to destroy each supporters who is part of the network or computers.

on the very front, blockchain serves as the ledger of all transactions.

Programming the Blockchain in C# is a free book published on GitBook; you can download pdf glhf

to me is very overwhelming to learn about the technicalities of blockchain, but it has been fun so far :) What I'm really interested as of now is in the history of some old coins.

You can try reading some of the technicalitues here in bitcoin block in the beginners help or could start reading sime articles or some facts in blockchain through google there lots of answers in google in which you could find about. Try those it wouldn't  hurt much if you've  been a researcher  there in google because most of the information  you need regarding bitcoin is available here.

It's good start because you choose a advanced technology.
Blockchain is like a data structure. It stores a transactions in the ledger and connects the blocks by matching the digital signature from the previous block. Simply its a like a book that connects with a page number (Digital signature)

Not like a programming in it but you need to learn basic concepts of SHA (Secure hash algorithms), Digital certificate and how it works.
Just understand its flow. That's enough. Adding blocks, Storing transactions in the ledger, Matching digital signature and Computational work are usually done by mining machines.

All the technicality involved in learning blockchain technology can found in this forum, go through Development and Technical discussion thread    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=973916 there are a loads of information required I also learnt that C# is the best programming language for blockchain technology in that thread.

blockchain technology can be applied into any programming languages, if you prefer learn-by-doing here's the good one https://hackernoon.com/learn-blockchains-by-building-one-117428612f46?utm_source=mybridge&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=read_more
