There’s a lot of excitement about Bitcoin, but also a lot of confusion about what Bitcoin is and how it works. We’re offering this course focusing on the computer science behind Bitcoin to help cut through the hype and get to the core of what makes Bitcoin unique.
The signup process was quick and within minutes I was watching the first video.
'Welcome to Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies'
The course starts with 'Lecture 1: Intro to Crypto and Cryptocurrencies', where the first video is 'Cryptographic Hash Functions'. I have a degree in math and computer science and have worked all of my professional career with various aspects of computing. About ten minutes into the first video, I suddenly realized I wasn't understanding the lecture. Then when I reached the end, I couldn't answer the first question. Looks like I'll have to apply some real brainpower to this thing if I want to make it work.
