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.

    Isn't Ethereum the trojan horse currency backed by Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, etc.? If I understand it properly (and I probably do not), the public ledger is what for wanking into. The real control and trades are made privately, and centrally controlled. It's like an oversized bobble-head mask to hide the big nose of central banking.

    Any links about that? Up to now I thought Ripple is the banks coin.
