This document provides an overview of how blockchain networks work. It begins with an introduction to Bitcoin and then covers key concepts like decentralized architectures, consensus mechanisms like proof-of-work, transactions, blocks and how the blockchain is formed as blocks are added. It also discusses smart contracts and the Ethereum blockchain, covering Solidity for writing smart contracts and examples like ERC20 tokens. Live demos are referenced to illustrate mining, hashing, and deploying an ERC20 token contract.
[KubeCon NA 2018] Effective Kubernetes Develop: Turbocharge Your Dev Loop - P...Ambassador Labs
Every software development cycle is rife with inefficiency. Seasoned devs know the pain of getting access to essential remote systems, waiting for tests to run (and then fail), or debugging with only log files. This talk teaches you how to best leverage Kubernetes, remote infrastructure and related tooling to create a dev cycle that maximizes velocity and minimizes developer friction and frustration.
Using tools such as Kubernetes, Docker and Telepresence, I will walk attendees through several advanced techniques that can be used to produce an effective developer experience and optimized dev loop. The goal of this is to eliminate many sources of frustrating inefficiency and reduce cycle time between releases. I will demonstrate how to incrementally adopt some of these techniques and how to approach introducing new and unfamiliar technology and techniques to skeptical dev teams.
Delivered at Web 3 ATL - 2022
Despite the rapid innovation in Web 3, why is Bitcoin still around? Why does Bitcoin still have the largest market cap?
What makes Bitcoin unique in Web 3?
What qualities define a "good" money? Why is it difficult to make a "good" money? What makes bitcoin a "good" money?
What's new in Bitcoin? Is there anything new/exciting in Bitcoin today?
Why is Bitcoin important?

Get introduced to blockchains, how Bitcoin (the most secure blockchain) works, and discover what new types of applications and services are enabled by blockchains. Explore what is a Bitcoin miner, what is a 51% attack, how to sign transactions, what are unspent outputs. Further, learn about limitations of blockchains (limited storage, slow write times) and solutions to these limitations.

Kristof V. explained the basics of blockchain and smart contracts. Starting with the mechanics of bitcoin (introduced by the 2009 paper of Satoshi Nakamoto) he explains concepts of pseudonymisation, encryption, blockchain, mining, and distribution. After skimming high-level through some use cases he moves to "(smart) contracts", using the example of an auction.

What is Bitcoin and How is it related to Satoshi Nakamoto White Paper.pdfSuraj Sharma
Well the terms like bitcoin & block chain are being coined and referred to everywhere over the internet or over any investment or financial platform the reason being its increasing popularity and the mammoth returns that people have made by investing in these avenues.
Although the concept of bitcoin is known to many but still there are many that are confronted with this question that what is a bitcoin and how does it work? so, in this blog I have made a sincere effort to explain the same in the easiest of manner for you to understand this concept. So as we move ahead we will dive in this concept of What is Bitcoin? How is it related to White paper of Satoshi Nakamoto? to understand the basics of bitcoins and how would its future be like.
The term crypto currency is being coined everywhere due to its increased popularity worldwide, it is being looked at with great aspiration to park one’s money for a lucrative and manifold return. One can well imagine the return percentage on his/her investment in bitcoins by the fact that 1 bitcoin was worth $0 in 2009 and it now values at $55,353 (at the time of writing this article).
This means you could have been a millionaire or a billionaire if a reasonable investment was made in bitcoins in 2009 and was to be redeemed now.
Cryptocurrency- A Digital asset as a medium of exchange:
Crypto currency is a digital asset that is designed in such a manner that it offers the benefits of a medium of exchange like any other currency, so you can buy any item in exchange of these digital assets that you possess from the seller that accepts these forms of payments.
These digital assets are stored in computerized databases as they do not exist in physical form, using strong cryptography to secure the transaction records.
Decentralized Cryptocurrency Explained in Easy:
Whenever these digital currencies are minted, mined or created by the originator , the process is said to have exercised a centralized control, however when these are further disseminated to larger groups a decentralized control is said to have exercised. Each cryptocurrency functions through a distributed ledger technology that is typically known as block chain technology that serves as a public financial transaction database.
Although there are several other Cryptocurrencies that exist in the digital world and they too have offered good returns over a period of time, but the major issue involved in these digital currencies is that they are not backed by any of the apex bank of any country nor do they are traded in any banking channel.
Usually these digital currencies or cryptocurrencies that are not backed by any government or banking channel have no intrinsic value and nor do they will have in future.
Their values are derived purely on the basis of market forces of demand and supply and are a private fiat money. The market of these digital assets is highly volatile and have no capping on their price increase or decrease.

PoW
• Embeds economic incentives into the blockchain
network, miners need to invest CPU power in the
network in order to be rewarded.
• Secures the network. It costs money to participate
in the network. Thus, it’s better for someone to play
fairly by the consensus rules or, mostly, he/she will
be losing.
