That's an outstanding article!
But what about hardware requirements?
It would be very nice to understand how well one should be equipped to become a blockchain developer.

Hi Yuriy,
In my experience, you do not need anything special except a good laptop. Blockchains can be simulated before starting real life development. I personally develop my contracts on the chain through Google Cloud as my laptop would not be able to sync Ethereum for example.

If you develop a blockchain for a company, you will most likely not need extensive processing power as you would not need too much syncing while deployment.
