With only 150 horsemen, they must navigate hostile hills and ensure a rendezvous with the main Jacobite army, or risk losing their chance to confront the impending campaign.

Ethereum represents the gateway to a worldwide, decentralized computing paradigm. This platform enables you to run decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts that have no central points of failure or control, integrate with a payment network, and operate on an open blockchain. With this practical guide, Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Gavin Wood provide everything you need to know about building smart contracts and DApps on Ethereum and other virtual-machine blockchains. Discover why IBM, Microsoft, NASDAQ, and hundreds of other organizations are experimenting with Ethereum. This essential guide shows you how to develop the skills necessary to be an innovator in this growing and exciting new industry. Run an Ethereum client, create and transmit basic transactions, and program smart contracts Learn the essentials of public key cryptography, hashes, and digital signatures Understand how "wallets" hold digital keys that control funds and smart contracts Interact with Ethereum clients programmatically using JavaScript libraries and Remote Procedure Call interfaces Learn security best practices, design patterns, and anti-patterns with real-world examples Create tokens that represent assets, shares, votes, or access control rights Build decentralized applications using multiple peer-to-peer (P2P) components

Set against the backdrop of the Jacobite uprising in August 1745, the narrative follows Patrick Lindesay, an impoverished farmer who unexpectedly rises to the rank of Captain in the Jacobite Horse Grenadiers, one of the smallest regiments in British history.

Ethereum to platforma służąca do obsługi kryptowalut. Została zaprojektowana z zachowaniem wysokich standardów bezpieczeństwa i transparentności. Umożliwia uruchamianie zdecentralizowanych aplikacji (DApp) i inteligentnych kontraktów, które nie mają scentralizowanej kontroli ani pojedynczego punktu podatności na awarie i są zintegrowane z siecią obsługi płatności oraz operują na otwartym łańcuchu bloków. Ethereum cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem takich organizacji jak IBM, Microsoft, NASDAQ, które coraz bardziej angażują się w korzystanie z tej platformy. Ta książka jest praktycznym poradnikiem i encyklopedycznym źródłem wiedzy o Ethereum przeznaczonym dla programistów, którzy chcą przyswoić praktyczną wiedzę o łańcuchach bloków oraz tworzeniu inteligentnych kontraktów i zdecentralizowanych aplikacji - DApp. Znalazły się tu zarówno podstawowe informacje, jak i szereg zaawansowanych zagadnień związanych z Ethereum. Opisano, w jaki sposób tworzy się w nim transakcje, przedstawiono kwestie związane z kluczem publicznym, skrótami i podpisami cyfrowymi. Poszczególne zagadnienia, a także najlepsze praktyki, wzorce projektowe i antywzorce z obszaru bezpieczeństwa uzupełniono starannie opracowanymi przykładami kodu.
