What to Study??

ScarfaceLondon

Hi there!

I am new in cryptocurrency only knowing that there is an algorithm that is an open source and there are so many crptocurrencies now and they may be the future.

What do i need to study to understand how cryptocurrency works? Stop attacks, wallet securing etc etc The BIG MAC

I heard C++ is a start???

I want to follow feathercoin! (It seems most friendly) buy them, read about them etc etc to know how it all works, at the moment i have no knowledge of it, How do i start???

I know its such a wide question but any help will be appreciated.

PS: your the links to guides in “Newe forum members- please read” doesnt work

THANKS

I think programming especially C++ is the key to understand the sourcecode, cause its mainly written in C++.

But to understand the whole you need high knowledge in mathematics, computer sicence, and cryptography.

I hope that helps a bit.

Hello, at the first try to understand how the wallet work, next how the wallet talk with the other wallets through the network. If you understand it, try to investigate where are yours coins… into the wallet? Into the net? How your wallet cabling your address with your coins… and next what are and where are your private keys. You are very welcome.

The Guide section is under the Support thread - then just look in Technical Development to see the current projects that are being worked on. Members usually help out anyway with links or news or discussion, or comment on developments.

We are also developing a task based system for forum tasks where you can assist in one off or cyclic tasks on the forum. See Crowd sourcing to get involved in that…

You can also volunteer as a member of Staff, which entails getting involved for a couple of hours a week to spread the work involved in tasks, such as, greeting new members or helping in the Language forums or Support on the forum. PM Ruthie if you want to get more involved in that.

So … Re What to study.

I think the mobile wallet is the hottest development at the moment, I wish I had time to get involved in that. It covers all development areas + its mobile. I just posted a stub project for porting that to Samsungs new Tizen (open source) Android competitor / operating system.
