Description

Build Decentralized Applications with Bitcoin's Blockchain Technology Siraj Raval explains how to harness the power of Bitcoin's blockchain technology to create massively scalable, decentralized applications. This practical guide shows you why dapps will become more widely used and profitable than today's most popular web apps. You'll learn about the blockchain's cryptographically stored ledger, scarce-asset model, and peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, which provide a more flexible and better-incentivized structure than current software models. With this knowledge, you can use existing tools to create a working dapp, including building a Twitter clone with the Go language. The book also explores real-world examples of successful dapps, such as OpenBazaar's decentralized market and La'Zooz's peer-to-peer ridesharing app. You'll gain insights into advances in distributed-system technology that make distributed data, wealth, identity, computing, and bandwidth possible.
