Hello,

   Why not learn and build your own cryptos in 2018?!

   I've put together a new free book: Programming Cryptocurrencies and
Blockchains in Ruby [1] @ Yuki & Moto Press Bookshelf.

   The book incl. merkle trees, central banks, shilling, crypto
kitties & copycats, and, of course, tulips (on the blockchain) :slight_smile: and
more.

    Happy new year. Prosit 2018! Cheers.

Hello,
    Thanks for the kind words. It's beta - a rough draft.

    Note: You can find more crypto links at the new Awesome Crypto [1]
page @ Planet Ruby that tries to
collect goodies about cryptocurrencies and blockchains, public key
infrastructure (pki), merkle trees and more

    Cheers. Greetings from Vienna. Prosit 2018!

Hey Gerald,

Looks awesome and exactly what I have been looking for. I’ve wanted to do a block chain in Ruby, but talking with others has convinced me that it would be significantly slower than programming it in c or even python. Can you speak to this? Is there a chance for a competitive Ruby based block chain?

Thanks,

Kip

Hello,

Is there a chance for a competitive Ruby based [enterprise-y] block chain?

  Of course, Ruby is great for blockchains. It's just a data structure
or database or a web service.
   I'm building competitve blockchains in Ruby - no joking :-).

   For benchmarks, see the Ruby 3x3 optcarrot [1], for example.

   Cheers.
