[Request for feedback] Bitcoin protocol in 45 minutes

[liveduo]

I created a bunch of Node.js scripts that create and broadcast testnet transactions. It's meant for newcomers that have some programming experience to get a grisp of how the core protocol works. The scripts re-implement the core TCP protocol in a minimal way and you can try them straight within the blog post.

I'm sharing it here for some feedback before sharing it on Reddit and other dev communities that are not familiar with the core protocol.

Thanks for the review. I made a few adjust so the post does not convey wrong information about the network. I also added a "thanks" section at the end of the post and referred to your avatar there.

Bitcoin is a decentralized network of nodes. Each node connects to a few other nodes to share information about the network.

Each transaction has a version, some inputs, some outputs and a locktime. Version represents the version of the transaction.

I just notice this thread is located on "Bitcoin Technical Support" board. To get more feedback, i would recommend you to move this thread to "Development & Technical Discussion" board instead. You can do that by click "move topic" on left bottom of this thread.

It's now in "Development & Technical Discussion".
