So, what do you feel that you are missing about block-chain programming?

I really would like to just learn. I have not yet actually "programmed" a blockchain. I would like to start by taking an existing chain, such as bitcoin and be able to create my own version of it.

Then I would like to just be able to go thru the code, so i can understand it and start to change a thing or two.

I am looking for resources that can walk me thru such a process.

Since you are here, I would look into the steem block-chain
You can do all kinds of things with it.

You can use steemd.com to actually view blocks.

Lots of articles on what might be expanded.

There are several blockchain APIs out there including bitcoin

thank you!
