TOP REVIEWS FROM BLOCKCHAIN SCALABILITY AND ITS FOUNDATIONS IN DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
While it is a great learning experience, I would recomend adding some further details / explaination on algorithms, specially EIG, DBFT, BCA and BVBA in video format.
Very detailed and difficult, well explained , quizes are challenging
The foundational elements of this course were indeed useful, however the wk3 dive into symbols and algorithms through me for a bit of a loop. Got there in the end.
New technology that it people need to know about block chain.
