Re: [Bitcoin-development] Where do I start?
As Mike says it depends on your interests. But one thing that is almost always welcomed is improving the tests, and it is unlikely that it conflicts with other people's PRs (unless they're changing that part of the code and need to update those tests. Improving documentation is also good and you can do that while reading the code. Usually I just start cloning, compiling and changing things as I read, if I understand this correctly, this change should not break the tests, if I understand this, this other change should break the build, etc. But again, is up to you.

Well, if you're interested in learning java while learning bitcoin, probably you should be looking at https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj or one of its related project (like the android bitcoin wallet based on it).

When dealing with any of the libraries or API's it's helps to know what's going on under the hood. I find these pages to be invaluable. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transactions https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script On 30/04/15 11:28, Jorge Timón wrote: Well, if you're interested in learning java while learning bitcoin, probably you should be looking at https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj or one of its related project (like the android bitcoin wallet based on it).

[Bitcoin-development] Where do I start?
Background: I'm a CS student quickly approaching his research project, and I'd like to do something meaningful with it. Essentially, I'd like to know what issues someone up for their bachelor's degree might actually be able to help on, and where I can start. Obviously I'm not going to be able to just dive into a 6-year-running project without some prior research, so I'm looking for a start. What are some current things that are lacking in Bitcoin core?
