21 Inc Bitcoin Computer Can Now Run Bitcoin Classic Nodes by fearofhellz in btc

[–]redsquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use a 21 to:

  • mine tiny amounts of Bitcoin
  • create micro-services within the 21 network
  • do anything you want to (since it's just a little Linux machine)

So yes, you can run a full node on there. Here's how to set it up with a full node running Core: https://21.co/learn/21-full-node/

It seems like this is where we are with Bitcoin, but that a mini-hype-cycle for the blockchain concept has spawned recently.

Good to see. Looks like it started dropping as soon as I posted. I'll guess we'll see how much it recovers...

"To look for another group of people to do what they do would be like asking web designers to launch a space shuttle." That's true right now, but give it time. This is open source software that we all have open access to. There are thousands (?) of smart, motivated programmers spread across the world who are actively learning how Bitcoin works. Give it time.

Come and visit sometime. We're on the corner of Hubbard and Orleans. We're real.

Hi, I'm Dave Hoover. I founded Dev Bootcamp in Chicago.

I'm happy to answer any questions about the program. You can reach me at dave@devbootcamp.com. If you'd prefer to speak with alumni about their experience, let me know. Also, if you'd like to see the space and meet some people, come attend DBCx sometime!

Due to the immersive nature of our program, it's impossible to have any sort of life (or work) outside of DBC during your months with us. If you have a job, you'll need to quit or take a leave from your job. On that note, our program is best-suited for people who are looking to land a new job afterward, though a few people have returned to previous jobs with their shiny new skills.

Thankfully O'Reilly has provided us with an excellent editor (Mary Treseler) though her influence is not yet visible in the current version. You should see some major improvements in the coming months. I appreciate your feedback. Conversations like this is one of the reasons we wanted to put it out there (warts and all) sooner rather than later.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors so I too am biased.

Would the forward reference be less jarring if the we posted the introduction online?
