Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that allows for decentralized and distributed storage of information. Maybe the hottest topic at the moment in the field of software engineering - besides artificial intelligence and machine learning - is blockchain technology. Many experts in the industry predict that the blockchain will disrupt the ways we interact with technology. In this course you will learn about the basics of blockchain technology as well as about cryptocurrencies.

Chapter 3 - Cryptocurrency Theory

  • motivation behind cryptocurrencies

  • Merkle trees and transaction verification algorithms

  • mining in cryptocurrencies

  • mempools

  • unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs)

  • elliptic curve cryptography in cryptocurrencies

  • what is a wallet?

  • orpahned blocks and the block verification problem

  • the 51% attack

  • soft fork and hard fork

Chapter 4 - Cryptocurrency Implementation
