init.cpp Bitcoin Core startup source code
This is our first exploration of Bitcoin-specific code in this series of articles. Until now we’ve looked at how the Qt system was set up to run the GUI and Bitcoin services in separate threads and how those threads interconnected using Qt signals and slots. The BitcoinCore class in qt/bitcoin.cpp is the glue that ties […]
Commented amount.h on Bitcoin Core Source Code
amount.h is one of simplest source files in Bitcoin Core. In fact we can paste it in it entirety and discuss it afterwards: First the typedef int64_t CAmount typedef is defined. To explain this typedef, perhaps we should discuss how a Bitcoin is stored in order to understand why a 64 bit integer is enough […]
Bitcoin Blockchain SQL Schema for MySQL
This SQL schema was created for Crypto.BI Toolbox. The same, or similar, SQL schema can be used by anyone exploring Bitcoin with the help of a MySQL RDBMS. Although we didn’t test this SQL with other RDBMS’, it should be fully compatible with MariaDB and any other MySQL-derived system. How the data is inserted/retrieved to/from […]
Cryptocurrency programming languages you should learn
Many different computer programming languages are employed in cryptocurrency programming. In this article, we take a look at cryptocurrency projects and the languages they employ. We briefly discuss each language while highlighting their main characteristics, learning difficulty and how they are deployed in different crypto software projects. Haskell Haskell is the world’s only widely adopted […]
