 COURSE AIMS

Here’s what you’ll learn at the end of this course:

1. How to create private keys and addresses offline — without having an internet connection — for Bitcoin
and Ethereum cryptocurrencies.
2. Learn how to send Bitcoin and Ethereum to the addresses created in this course.
3. Complete ownership of your public and private keys for Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrencies.
4. Complete ownership of the source codes to create private keys — open-source software.
5. Understand how the addresses are created step by step (with a simplified language) without depending
on external parties such as companies providing software wallets or cold wallets also named as cold
storage.
6. Understand Bitcoin and Ethereum.

BTC - Bitcoin
Lecture 4: What is Bitcoin?

Learn what is Bitcoin and the purpose of it such as its usage cases.
What is Bitcoin?
"Announcing the first release of Bitcoin, a new electronic
cash system that uses a peer-to-peer network to prevent
double-spending. It's completely decentralized with no
server or central authority." Satoshi Nakamoto

Original author(s) Satoshi Nakamoto

White paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System"[4]
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
Implementation(s) Bitcoin Core
Initial release 0.1.0 / 9 January 2009 (10 years ago)
Latest release 0.18.1 / 9 August 2019 (3 months ago)[3]
Development status Active

Lecture 5: How is a Bitcoin address
structured?
You learn how a Bitcoin address is structured.
How is a Bitcoin
address
structured? Sample Legacy address: 1KwBRs6CioGM2pFdzQsxyrSZ9ynJQr7Amd
https://mycrypto.tools/blog_how_to_generate_bitcoin_addresses.html

Base58 characters:
123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz

There are currently three address formats in use:

1. P2PKH (Pay-to-PubkeyHash) -
1KwBRs6CioGM2pFdzQsxyrSZ9ynJQr7Amd - addresses start with a 1
2. P2SH (Pay to script hash) -
3DnW8JGpPViEZdpqat8qky1zc26EKbXnmM - address start with a 3
3. Bech32 (SegWit) - bc1qngw83fg8dz0k749cg7k3emc7v98wy0c74dlrkd
- addresses start with bc1
Lecture 6: How to create / generate a
Bitcoin address using Java?
Learn how to create a Bitcoin address offline using a Java application. The
application will be developed from scratch using open-source libraries —
bitcoinj java library.
Lecture 7: How to send coins to a Bitcoin
address and see it on the blockchain?
In this lecture, we send bitcoins to the address generated using the
application created in this course. Then we see the balance on the
blockchain.

ETH - Ethereum
Lecture 8: What is Ethereum?

In this lecture, you learn what is Ethereum?

What is
Ethereum?

Ethereum is an open source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing

platform and operating system featuring smart contract (scripting)
functionality.

Some specifics about Ethereum:

Original author(s)Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Wood, Joseph Lubin

Initial release 30 July 2015
Repository github.com/Ethereum
Written in C++, Go, Rust
Operating system Cross-platform
Type Blockchain
Lecture 9: How is Ethereum
address structured?
You learn how a Ethereum address is structured. The details of a Ethereum
address and public-key cryptography — public and private keys.
How is an
Ethereum
address Sample Ethereum Address (42 Hexadecimal characters):
ETH Address: 0xDC25EF3F5B8A186998338A2ADA83795FBA2D695E
structured?
https://mycrypto.tools/blog_how_to_generate_ethereum_addresses.html

➔ Ethereum Addresses can contain the following characters 0-9 and

[a-fA-F] – except the prefix which is 0x.
➔ Ethereum address has a maximum length of 42 hexadecimal characters.
Lecture 10: How to create / generate
ETH - Ethereum addresses?
Learn how to create a Ethereum address offline using a Java application.
The application will be developed from scratch using open-source libraries
— ethereumj java library.
Lecture 11: How to send coins to a
Ethereum address and see it on the
blockchain?
In this lecture, we send Ether to the address generated using the
application created in this course. Then we see the balance on the
etherscan and blockchain.
