Building Blockchain from scratch
- Thread starter RedDuke

Solidity is what they use for Ethereum smart contracts, I think there are many projects on github which is how Sushiswap was able to fork Uniswap
I started a class on Lynda through Linked In and I used a Linux VM so that the Metamask wallet is isolated from my own Metamask wallets, but I did not get very far on the lesson. Too busy with crypto stuff research
Here's a website I ran into that teaches coding by using games

Oh shoot, you want a L1 blockchain, nvm the above, those are for decentralzed apps running on the Ethereum blockchain
Just go on github and fork bitcoin
Charlie Lee forked it in one night and created Litecoin
Many forks of bitcoin
You can also fork other blockchains, like Monero
You can fork Ethereum, too
I believe the language for bitcoin is C++ but I could be wrong
Ethereum may use another language
I think Tezos uses Ocaml or some thing like that. Possibly Cardano too. Best to go on their github
Tezos moved to Gitlab
The key is that they are all open source projects
Good luck!

Thanks for the info. forking is very easy. Just copy, change few parameters and launch. I want to understand full source code.
Tezos coding language is a small niche as far as I know.
Yea, don't go on Tezos not much use as it's a niche project although I think Cardano may also use same language so depends if you're a Cardano fan
Bitcoin is open source. Literally, every single line of code is on the github plus documentation, plus the pull requests for future changes. You can start submitting some PR's and see how it goes
This is the hard core stuff, if you read and understand every line, you'll know about the inner workings and can say fuck you to J. Dimon who said "how do you know it's only going to be have 21M coins", the answer is literally in the software code!!!
But Dimon knows this, he has smart advisors, I bet he understands all the economics behind bitcoin. Wences Casares met up with him in 2013/2014 per the book Bitcoin Billionaires (or it could have been the book Digital Gold) I finished both books one after the other
Anyway, go to the bitcoin github and start learning! I compile my bitcoin software directly from the github, it's legit
