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.

  A really cool get-rich-quick scheme is to invent a new cryptocurrency, mine yourself a zillion coins then convince everyone else to put it into common use.

  Nobody has ever thought of that one.

  Haha, true that!

  MDC, check out https://coinmarketcap.com/ [coinmarketcap.com]

  They don't even list all coins, and they have over 1200 coins listed. All but /maybe/ 5 are complete shit.
