Hi everyone!
I’m new to Elixir and want to practice my knowledge of it by developing something awesome.
I also recently learned about blockchains and consider to practice both topics. I see that you have a long-running discussion here. Could anybody elaborate what is the status of it right now? Can I help somehow? Any repo to contribute in?

Hello everyone,
I’m actually writing my research paper on "Blockchain To Help Developing Countries " (That’s actually my research proposal, just started). I also wrote a very very basic blockchain in Elixir (GitHub - Woody88/BasicBlockchain: Basic Blockchain written in Elixir · GitHub) to have a better understanding. I took pointers from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_160oMzblY8. With all the information out there I still feel quite lost I would really like to contribute in this project to have a better understand of it. Or, if anyone would be willing to guide me to better understand each part that makes the blockchain.

Hello all,
I made a “naive” blockchain in Elixir, inspired by existing implementations in JS and Haskell (links in the readme). I made this for educational purpose to improve my Elixir skills but this might (hopefully) be a good starting point.

Any feedbacks/contributions are welcome and you can let me know what you think here.
Regards,
Robin

Hello all,
If anyone is interested in the intersection of Elixir and blockchain, there is a blockchain project likely to employ Elixir. Please, take a look at the ad I linked to in a post in Elixir - jobs section.
More on topic: this is an extremely useful and interesting thread!
There also seems to be an Elixir Merkle Patricia Tree implementation, rlp, evm, which are all essential components of ethereum functionality.
I found these using this, but hadn’t yet had the chance to look into. I certainly will soon, though!

The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) was a digital form of venture capital. It was an ambitious idea–to provide a new decentralized business model for organizing corporations on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Few people in the crypto community were opposed to this premise–but the timeline was short, the code requirements were tremendous, and in retrospect, a vulnerability was inevitable.
The DAO launched in May 2016, setting the record for the largest crowdfunding event in history. The following month, the DAO was hacked, millions of dollars of Ether were stolen, and the reverberations of the event were a referendum on how the Ethereum community governs itself.
Matt Leising is a reporter for Bloomberg who has chronicled the DAO in his article The Ether Thief. He continues to follow cryptocurrencies closely, as the Internet of money fractals increasingly into the public consciousness.
