Book release : Blockchain Programming in C# (Part 1)

[Nicolas Dorier]

Hello all,

I think that one of the way to make Bitcoin a success is to teach developers how to program it themselves, while keeping in mind the real problems they can fix with it.
Depending on public web API to do the heavy stuff is still useful, but oblige the user to look at the problem from someone else eyes.
It also block innovation, since users are stuck to what their API provider gives them, and provoke a mopya to the wild possibilities of Bitcoin.

I have way too much demand for work than I can give. However, I can spread what I know for free in a book.

My book is in public domain, and will be spread likely in 3 parts.
The first part is out now, and I am waiting for your feedback (and your work ! )

In the book, you will find coding challenges that you need to resolve to get access to the next parts when they will be out.

The range of difficulty will go from "how to create a private key", "how to make you transaction by hand, and sending by hand" to "how Dark Wallet works", "How to implement coin shuffle", "how to implement a voting system with colored coins"

Looks interesting.  I will take a look this weekend. I like term "Blockchain Programming" BTW.

[Nicolas Dorier]

Thanks, I think the first part might be easy for you.
The next parts 2 and 3 will go deeper though. I will release a hard cover when I finished all the parts. Will also be in the public domain.

Very nice.  Im about to socialize a MVC app that uses some of your code too

Don't hesitate if you have question

I just finished to write about the HD Wallet and Dark Wallet part. (I updated the ebook)
I'm glad I can finally explain Dark Wallet clearly !! (well... I hope... I don't know if anyone could understand the first article about it I did several month ago oO)

Reading my old article, is like reading an old code... I am not even sure I even did it.

Thank you!

Finally , I was looking for such a thing but never really found anything on Csharp always C++ or Python or Java glad to see someone working hard here to help others .
I will do my best to learn "blockchain" programming on C#  , Thanks for sharing useful eBook mate going to check it out for sure

Thanks man,

There are very few books in the .net framework for these topics

Just wrote up a small article about your book, which can be found here :

Looking forward to part two and three!

Woops , don't get me wrong man . I totally believe that it's your real name
I was just telling the guy that wrote the article to make sure it's your realname by asking "you" here on the forum , that's all

Well, there is no problem with that, it is a valid concern

[Mitchell]

Blockchain Programming. Man, that is one baller name. I will definitely look into this later on!

Well done! Glad to see you still working on your implementation. Very interesting and promising book.
BTW I've submitted the final stealth standard to Peter Todd ready for him to publish. There are some changes, but we'll have to wait for it to be published/reviewed. Here's the doc: https://github.com/genjix/bips/blob/master/bip-stealth.mediawiki

I overviewed the BIP, I don't see any breaking change about current version of Dark Wallet (the one published on the wiki), stealth address, prefix matching, key generations, OP_RETURN are always the same, am I right ?

Does multiple OP_RETURN will finally beb possible to batch more than one stealth payment in a transaction ?

Ty for the kind words, and yes it is my own site (co-owned)

I used the name seeing as it was on the cover of the book as well

Looks like the article is quite popular tbh, 759 views so far (and counting)

Made me laugh when I saw your article with 60 vote + on reddit.

I announced it 3 days ago it has been completely ignored.
I guess that's the difference between a real good blogger and a nerd like me
