I'm thinking to create series of threads in Beginners & Help related to technical aspects of Bitcoin. It will include everything: how addresses are created, what is elliptic curve, etc. Being from financial background, I self-learnt everything about bitcoin from web sources. Although, there are valuable resources already available like bitcoin.it but things are still complicated for newcomers. I have created alternative to all codes in JavaScript which is lot easier than other programming languages. What do you say, should I go ahead?
i am also self-taught and have learned everything from pretty basic things such as using wallets down to highly technical matters such as elliptic curve cryptography on my own from documentations alone. i wanted to create something similar some time ago but i'm afraid i am not good at simplifying things and could have made things worse so i never made the effort.
kudos to you, this was a good post and you should keep it up.
ps. as for language i think most people find python to be the easiest although i don't understand either one since i prefer c#
