You’ve probably heard about the blockchain, right? You can write your first application in minutes with this tutorial. If you don’t know anything about blockchain, here are some of the main benefits:

• Decentralized: Meaning it’s open source to the max, no one owns the blockchain.
• Transparent: Every transaction or use is viewable by everyone.
• Immutable: The past can’t be changed or tampered with.
• Automatic transactions without third party intervention: It’s like having an agreement that the entire world is the enforcer of, to make sure it’s enacted.
• Security: It removes the risk of duplicate entry or fraud.

Our favorite concept of something you could build on the blockchain:

• A transparent stock exchange where all data is public, transactions are not through a brokerage, and every transaction ever made is public information. Reducing settlement periods, fraud, HFT abuse, and more.

And some people are working on that now.

Anyways, here is how you can get started:
