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.

Being "private" doesn't necessarily mean that it's only in control of a single entity. It could just mean that the unwashed masses are not invited to participate. Such private-club blockchains are what is being mooted for use with inter-bank transfers and whatnot.

I nominate this comment for the most ignorant comment on SoylentNews in 2017. Can he win a prize?
