BUIDL BOOTCAMP

Part 1: Implement Bitcoin

Learn how Bitcoin works by building it. We start with a comically stupid digital cash implementation (PNGCoin) and iteratively improve it until all major Bitcoin features have been added.Deploy this network and build infrastructure for it such as exchanges, mining pools, mixers, and block explorers.Practice attacking the network and each other!

Part 2: Peer-To-Peer Network

Write a Bitcoin network crawlerWrite a partial implementation of initial block download.Write Script execution engine

Part 3: Build a Hardware Wallet

Build a hardware wallet using Micropython, just like TrezorHD wallets, seed phrases, multisig, secret sharing, and more

Part 4: Final project

Build your own projectOr team up with classmatesOr contribute to a popular open source projectThis is where most aspiring Bitcoin developers get stuck -- the learn a little but never apply their knowledge. We won't let this happen!

Course Format

Daily video & exercises20 hours / week is the suggested pace, but you can more faster or slower if you like. You can always retake the course in future months if life gets in the way.I'm available 3 times every day for office hours over Google Hangouts

Prerequisites

Complete any "Introduction to Python" course. I recommend SoloLearn.

"Graduation"

BUIDL Bootcamp doesn't offer certificates or diplomas because they are worthless!Instead I focus on helping you build a real Bitcoin project or onboarding you as a contributor to a popular open source project. This is valuable because few people can pull it off!

Community

The curriculum is great, but the community is better. We are like-minded people dedicated to rebuilding the global financial and monetary system atop Bitcoin. BUIDL Bootcamp is the best community to support your Bitcoin programming career.
