I’m a blockchain developer with over 4.5 years of expertise, primarily working with Ethereum and associated applied sciences. I’ve additionally experimented with forking the Sprint blockchain – though that principally concerned studying and modifying some primary parameters, so it didn’t give me a deep understanding of Bitcoin’s internals.
Now, I wish to take a extra severe step towards studying how Bitcoin works on the code degree and ultimately begin contributing to the Bitcoin Core mission.
I already perceive the final ideas of blockchain expertise – how blocks are generated, what’s included in block headers, consensus mechanisms, and so on. – however I really feel my information of Bitcoin’s precise implementation is kind of restricted.
Studying by way of the whole Bitcoin Core codebase manually appears overwhelming. Might anybody counsel a structured method or sources to assist me:
- Perceive the structure and construction of the Bitcoin Core repository,
- Study key elements and the way they work together,
- Discover beginner-friendly points or areas to contribute to?
- I’ve searched on bitcoin.stackexchange, however I am discovering is outdated solutions solely.
- It could sound like Comparable outdated questions, however I learn the outdated questions and they aren’t correctly passable for me.
Any steerage, ideas, or really useful studying paths could be drastically appreciated.
Thanks upfront!
