Teach Bitcoin with Libbitcoin and Jupyter Notebook.

The code examples and exercises are written and executed in jupyter notebook pages. This makes them easier to demonstrate and edit in a developer training environment.

There are two types of notebook pages in this repository. Pages denoted with BX are command-line scripts which call the Libbitcoin-Explorer command-line utility and require a jupyter bash kernel to run. Pages denoted with cpp are written with Libbitcoin c++ libraries and require a jupyter c++ kernel to run.

You therefore need to install both Libbitcoin and Jupyter notebook kernels to follow the notebook pages in this repository.

Installing the Libbitcoin Toolkit:

• Install Libbitcoin-explorer (BX pages)
• Install Libbitcoin-system (cpp pages)
• Install Libbitcoin-protocol (cpp pages with zmq connections)

Installing Jupyter Notebook and Kernels

It is recommended to install jupyter notebook from a mini-conda package installer.

• Install the miniconda package-manager.
• Install the Jupyter Notebook and the c++ cling kernel.
• Install the Jupyter Bash Kernel.
