I don't think it needs introduction about the current hype that is going on with Blockchain, bitcoin, Ethereum and other initiatives. To get more feeling about what it is and how it works I decided to have a go with Ethereum as it promises to be a possible disruptive solution for lots of different use cases. Without going into the theoretical background of Blockchain or Ethereum (there are already lots of docs written about it) this post will focus on how I set up a private Ethereum network on my MacBook. I will use Docker containers as Ethereum nodes and use Mist browser on my Mac to 'connect' to the private network.

    While building a website that I don't call a job board [soggy.jobs], I am repeatedly finding posts seeking candidates with the following skills. (Not all at once):

    blockchain

    full stack developer

    artificial intelligence

    How hard can it be to learn all about blockchains? If you know blockchains, you can get lots of equity at a venture-backed startup.

    However I strongly suspect that all these blockchain startups are participating in a tulip bubble.

    How hard can it be to learn all about blockchains?

    Basically,
    1) Get data
    2) Hash said data
    3) Include hash of 2 in a new set of data
    4) GOTO 2

    There you have it... a block chain (as I explained it to my father-in-law last weekend).
    Of course there is a bit more to it, but that is optional depending on the situation.
