I think you've written a great tutorial. Nice work.

I made some minor changes to the wording as I was reading through. Hope you don't mind.

@in3rsha Thanks for the fixes. Thanks for the Learn me a Bitcoin site and the source code samples! A great inspiration and I'm still learning and reading (more of your Learn me a Bitcoin) pages. Keep it up. Cheers. Prost.

My pleasure. Keep up the good work yourself too, I enjoy your writing and coding style.

One question if you don't mind me asking: what's the reason behind positioning the "BEWARE" warning at the top of the guide? Your article is so good I would like to be able dive straight in to it.

About the "BEWARE" - The other inspiration / source is the "Programming Bitcoin from Scratch" book. The author Jimmy Song is clearly a Bitcoin maximalist. I am the opposite - a no coiner and bitcoin "minimalist". Sorry I strongly believe that the insane waste of the mining (and the CO2 emissions) must be stopped and, thus, this "little public awareness campaign". See https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption for background. The get-rich-quick greed fest is another story. That's just human nature they best we can do is make fun of it as Tr0llyTr0llFace https://twitter.com/Tr0llyTr0llFace says: "I said Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme before it was cool. Buying magical virtual coins from mysterious people on the Internet will not make you rich."

Anyways, thanks again for your great Learn me a Bitcoin site (and code samples). The details are just amazing and you are really making it fun (Learn me a- style) with your illustrations. Cheers. Prost. Greetings from Vienna (Home of the School of Austrian Economics :-).

Thank you for the explanation. I understand.

Do you use IRC or something similar? (If you don't mind me asking)
