商品描述

Compile and run Bitcoin full nodes, lightning nodes, and user-friendly web-apps that help abstract the complexities of Bitcoin. This book not only explains the tools and techniques to help readers build their own banks and banking apps, but it also tells a story. Starting with the origins of Bitcoin--what it is and why we need it--find out what its strengths and limitations are. Understand the nature of mining and why so much energy is put into it. The blockchain itself will be reviewed, as well, and compared to other options such as a normal SQL database or a simple spreadsheet.

With this book, you can control Bitcoin wallets via RPC commands on a Raspberry Pi. Configure, compile, and run two implementation of the Lightning Ntework-compatible daemons: LND and c-lightning. And employ user-friendly web apps that abstract the complexities of Bitcoin/Lightning-Network.

The Internet of Information is currently transitioning to the Internet of Things, which in turn may well be followed by the Internet of Value (or Money). However, there is no evolution without happy users and Bitcoin will never reach the same heights like the original internet without having offered "useful" and "easy to use" tools. Just like nobody would ever want to use UUCP to send messages via web the same applies to current cryptocurrency tools. These are hard to use and very unforgiving. But, the evolution doesn't stop here and many easy-to-use tools are already available. We will meet some of them when building apps for the Lightning Network, a new technology running on top of Bitcoin's blockchain that makes it possible to generate billions of transactions within a single second.

What You'll Learn
  • Control Bitcoin wallets via console RPC commands
  • Run two implementation of the Lightning Network compatible daemons
  • Simplify the complexities of Bitcoin and the Lightning network with user-friendly web apps
Who This Book Is For
This book is for Makers familiar with the basics of Linux command line processes.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

編譯並運行比特幣全節點、閃電網絡節點和用戶友好的網絡應用程序,以幫助抽象化比特幣的複雜性。本書不僅解釋了工具和技術,幫助讀者建立自己的銀行和銀行應用程序,還講述了一個故事。從比特幣的起源開始,了解它是什麼以及為什麼我們需要它,並了解它的優點和局限性。了解挖礦的性質以及為什麼要投入如此多的能源。同時還將審查區塊鏈本身,並與其他選項(如普通的SQL數據庫或簡單的電子表格)進行比較。

通過本書,您可以通過Raspberry Pi上的RPC命令來控制比特幣錢包。配置、編譯和運行兩種實現閃電網絡兼容的守護程序:LND和c-lightning。並使用用戶友好的網絡應用程序來抽象化比特幣/閃電網絡的複雜性。

信息互聯網目前正在過渡到物聯網,而這可能隨後又會轉向價值互聯網(或貨幣互聯網)。然而,沒有滿意的用戶就沒有進步,如果比特幣沒有提供“有用”和“易於使用”的工具,它將永遠無法達到原始互聯網的高度。就像沒有人會想使用UUCP通過網絡發送消息一樣,當前的加密貨幣工具也是如此。它們很難使用且不太寬容。但是,進化並不止於此,許多易於使用的工具已經可用。在為閃電網絡構建應用程序時,我們將遇到其中一些工具,閃電網絡是運行在比特幣區塊鏈之上的新技術,可以在一秒內生成數十億筆交易。

你將學到什麼:
- 通過控制台RPC命令控制比特幣錢包
- 運行兩種閃電網絡兼容的守護程序
- 通過用戶友好的網絡應用程序簡化比特幣和閃電網絡的複雜性

本書適合具備Linux命令行基礎知識的製造商。

作者簡介

Harris Brakmic is a senior software engineer from Germany. He has experience working C#, Java, JavaScript, Angular, React, and NodeJS. Occasionally he has worked on projects targeting Android and iOS platforms. He discovered Bitcoin a few years ago, but decided to approach it differently. While most people working in the cryptocurrency space were looking for quick gains, Harris ignored the whole monetary component and concentrated on learning Ethereum's programming language. Ethereum itself is an alternative blockchain implementation that unlike Bitcoin script offers a turing-complete programming language, Solidity. Gaining a solid understanding of the programming behind cryptocurrency in general, he returned to Bitcoin to see what he could do with the world's most popular cryptocurrency.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Harris Brakmic 是來自德國的高級軟體工程師。他在 C#、Java、JavaScript、Angular、React 和 NodeJS 方面有豐富的經驗。偶爾他也會參與針對 Android 和 iOS 平台的專案。幾年前,他發現了比特幣,但決定以不同的方式接觸它。儘管大多數在加密貨幣領域工作的人都在尋求快速獲利,Harris 忽略了整個貨幣組成部分,專注於學習以太坊的程式語言 Solidity。以太坊本身是一個替代區塊鏈實現,不同於比特幣腳本,它提供了一個圖靈完備的程式語言。通過對加密貨幣背後的程式設計有著扎實的理解,他回到比特幣,看看他能在這個世界上最受歡迎的加密貨幣中做些什麼。
