Hello all! Just starting out in the crypto space, I'm currently studying Blockchain Development at Uni.

I'm very interested in learning anything I can about the subject and I eventually found my way here.
I know the basics of blockchain and writing code for it but I am at a loss for any real litterature on the subject.
So my question is, can anybody recommend a good book on the subject, YouTube vids and online bootcamps only go so far
and all my courses are using webpages as source material.

I love a good read and would love if there are some book worms out there who have found out what's good.

My recommendation is Blockchain Development Philosophy by Kalle Rosenbaum.

Imagine rocking up to Starbucks with this like; Hey! You got a 5amp breaker plug near a window here?

Troll aside, looks sick but damn, my chiropractor would steal my gains.

Heya, just created my account so don't take my advice as any sort of gospel. My only experience is being a Blockchain development student.

Currently the hash rate, the amount of computing power working on mining bitcoin is: 260.27 EH/s "Exa hashes per second", let's say you have a high end graphics card (Nvidia 3090) with 120MH/s "Mega hashes per second" and let's assume you're mining in a pool so you're sharing profit instead of waiting x amount of years to mine a block, which includes pool fees.

You're looking at, at most, 50 cents USD per day, or 30 cents if mining Ethereum. I couldn't find a good BTC calculator so I hope someone else knows one.

That's not counting your electricity bill which you have to estimate based on your local electricity cost and power draw from your PC.

If you're profitable, yes you might make a profit in a couple years but I would recommend just playing some games and watching your gains from HODLing.


There are many factors that need to be accounted for and I'm only a student so I'll leave this up to the veterans. Just my 2 cents.

Also, hello BTC community!
