Curriculum
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 -- they learn a little but never apply their knowledge. We won't let this happen!
FAQ
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.

Student Testimonials
Part of the November cohort. Couldn't be happier of the bootcamp. Good for all levels. Easy enough for programming newbies to understand and finish it but complex enough to really understand the ins and outs of Bitcoin !!

Just finished "POW Coin" - a 400 line Python implementation of a "Proof-of-Work Coin". An intermediate step on the way to bitcoin.
Absolutely well done, Justin! Loving it 😊 👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/qde0i1zcDC
There is no better way to celebrate the 10 years of this beautiful protocol, than working to understand down to smallest detail by building it up again. The clarity of the guidance by @_JustinMoon_ at the https://t.co/cJpkIYUzsC does not stop to amaze me. pic.twitter.com/a589zo5avG

I’m into the second week of the BUIDL Boootcamp and It’s already worth multiple times the investment. If you’re motivated but your coding skills are rusty, or non-existent, @_JustinMoon_ will get you to start building stuff. No question is dumb enough (I stress tested this 😂).

@_JustinMoon_ is bustin his ass making and perfecting content for BUIDL. If you can familiarize yourself with a little coding beforehand, and you are motivated to think and learn and tinker, it’s one of the best ways for a bitcoin enthusiast to spend their time and money. https://t.co/HvAcmxmqqT
