It also discusses choosing suitable built-in types for struct fields, including limitations of uint64. ### Source excerpt Introduction In episode 9, Bill introduced the idea of the genesis record and its role in his blockchain. As a recap, the genesis record will be used to customize the settings of his blockchain. The approach Bill takes here is similar to how Ethereum operates because he is storing the record in JSON format. In this video, Bill starts by defining the Go types his blockchain will use. The first type he defines will represent the genesis record. This type will be populated by the data found in the genesis record and will ensure Bill reaps all the benefits of using strongly typed language. Before he proceeds with the next type definition, he highlights the possible limitations he can encounter by using type uint64. Watch to learn how to write idiomatic and durable Go code that will load your blockchain's settings from disk. ## Ethereum Identity Verification with ECDSA for a Decentralized Blockchain DevFeed: [Ethereum Identity Verification with ECDSA for a Decentralized Blockchain]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2023-01-03T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [William Kennedy]() Topics: [Blockchain](), [Ethereum](), [Go Language]() Tags: [bitcoin](), [blockchain](), [blockchain-asset](), [digital-signature](), [distributed](), [ecdsa](), [ecdsa-encryption](), [encryption](), [ethereum](), [ethereum-authentication](), [genesis-record](), [go-blockchain](), [identity](), [identity-management](), [verification]() ### AI overview This video tutorial explores how Ethereum confirms user identity and explains how ECDSA can verify transaction authenticity without relying on a central key store. ### Source excerpt Introduction In episode 10, Bill dove into the technical implementation of his genesis record and defined a custom Go type representing the record. While doing so, he provided an in-depth look at the reasoning behind the fields he included.. After declaring this type, Bill wrote a function that loads the genesis record from disk and onto memory. His function will use the standard library encoding/json package to load JSON data from a hard-coded file path. ## Ultimate Go: Advanced Engineering Episode 9 DevFeed: [Ultimate Go: Advanced Engineering Episode 9]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2022-12-20T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [William Kennedy]() Topics: [Blockchain](), [Go Language](), [Bitcoin](), [Ethereum]() Tags: [bitcoin](), [blockchain](), [blockchain-asset](), [build](), [building](), [code](), [concepts](), [engineering](), [ethereum](), [genesis](), [genesis-json](), [genesis-record](), [go](), [go-blockchain](), [implement](), [introduction](), [project](), [project-layout](), [reuse](), [standard-library]() ### AI overview This video tutorial covers the initial layout of a blockchain project in Go, including creating a genesis record and explaining its role. It also introduces fundamental blockchain verifications. ### Source excerpt Introduction In episode 8, Bill wanted to build a blockchain in Go and began to lay the groundwork for the project. Go is a good choice because its standard library has the necessary network and cryptographical functionality required to build a blockchain. Unlike the previous segment, Bill plans to use this blockchain to manage accounts and balances with hypothetical assets. Bill will reuse concepts from ethereum, bitcoin and the previous segment of the series to implement this blockchain. ## Building a Semantically Correct Blockchain in Go: Genesis Blocks and Asset On-Ramping DevFeed: [Building a Semantically Correct Blockchain in Go: Genesis Blocks and Asset On-Ramping]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2022-12-19T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [William Kennedy]() Topics: [Go Language](), [Blockchain](), [Dependency management](), [Library]() Tags: [blockchain](), [blockchain-asset](), [blockchain-equity](), [dependency-management](), [ethereum](), [genesis](), [genesis-block](), [go](), [go-blockchain](), [standard-library](), [video]() ### AI overview This video explains how to build a semantically correct blockchain entirely with Go. It covers how a blockchain starts, the role of the genesis block, and how assets are introduced into the blockchain, while building on concepts from an earlier dependency-management example. ### Source excerpt Introduction In the first part of the series, Bill designed a dependency management system. The dependency manager needed to be distributed, transparent, cryptographically auditable and scalable. To meet these requirements, Bill borrowed concepts from blockchain. He did this to illustrate how the blockchain can be repurposed and used to accomplish the mundane task of dependency management. While doing so, Bill indirectly highlighted the problems a blockchain solves. In the next segment of the series, Bill will build a semantically correct blockchain. He plans to perform this task entirely with Go and he'lll re-use the ideas described in the previous segment to further facilitate your understanding of what a blockchain is. Early on Bill admits he is no economist, and for the sake of the series he will use a hypothetical pot of gold as the starting equity for his blockchain. Follow along and learn how assets are "on-ramped" into the blockchain.
