Join Us This Hacktoberfest: Contribute to the Ultimate Bitcoin & Blockchain Learning Resource!

Hello developers!

With Hacktoberfest in full swing, I wanted to share a opportunity for both seasoned developers and those just starting out. If you've ever been fascinated by Bitcoin and blockchain, and have been looking for a way to dip your toes into the vast ocean of its ecosystem, you've stumbled upon the right post!

Over the past few month, I've been curating and developing a project that strives to be the definitive guide for anyone looking to learn about Bitcoin and blockchain. We're talking about everything from foundational whitepapers, academic articles, beginner-friendly tutorials, to the most intricate technical deep dives.

The Open Guide To Learning About Bitcoin And Blockchain

Why an Open Guide?

A lot of information on Bitcoin is already written. Most people learn Bitcoin by reading a blog or a “Bitcoin White Paper” and referring to the Bitcoin Website. Nonetheless, trustworthy and practical information and recommendations aren’t easy to come by. Here we will list some sources of information to allow anyone and African in particular to be able to educate and learn about this technology that is revolutionizing the habits of the world.

Please help

This is an early in-progress draft! It’s our first attempt at assembling this information, so is far from comprehensive still, and likely to have omissions or errors.

Getting Started

  • Bitcoin : Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money.
  • Bitcoin Wiki: Welcome to the Bitcoin Wiki
  • Help:FAQ : Help:FAQ -…

The best part? It's open source! 🎉 Which means that you can not only benefit from the resources but also contribute to this ever-growing library of knowledge. Why Contribute?

Expand Your Knowledge: By digging deep and curating resources, you'll be solidifying your own understanding of the blockchain realm.

Boost Your Portfolio: Especially for junior developers, contributing to open-source projects is an incredible way to showcase your skills to future employers.

Network: Interact with other contributors, and who knows, you might just find your next collaborator, mentor, or friend!

How Can You Help?

Add Resources: Know of a fantastic article or tool that's missing? Add it in!

Review: Check the added resources for accuracy and relevance.
Documentation: For those who are more into writing, help us craft clear and concise documentation or even tutorials.

And don’t worry if you’re just starting out. This is a beginner-friendly project, and we’re here to guide you through every step.

Getting Started

To the junior developers out there - I know how daunting it can be to dive into open source for the first time. I've been there. This is your chance to not only learn but also make meaningful contributions to a project that aims to educate many. Your fresh perspective is invaluable, and we welcome you with open arms!

Let’s come together this Hacktoberfest and make learning about Bitcoin and blockchain easier and more accessible for everyone. Every contribution, big or small, brings immense value. Can't wait to see what we'll achieve together!
