CYBER SECURITY : A Mathematical attempt to understand and interpret the mechanics behind

Well..after a long time of around few years I gave a talk that was exclusive to CYBER SECURITY otherwise I have generally hovered around Blockchain and bitcoin for quiet some time now.The unique thing about this presentation is the take on that I attempted. The difference between the usual presentations and this one is that I have tried to explain the technicals behind data collection and prediction through regression. While the common men isn't largely bothered about surfing anything, anywhere, anytime, believing what harm can one do if he has nothing to loose. But alas he should understand why is the need so.The strange patents that IT giants like facebook ,google ,MIcrosoft are currently holding and developing is worrisome to realise. The links below give the presenation download google drive link and the scribd direct link.

Installation Bitcoin core on UBuntu 18.0.4 LTS : Bitcoin Mechanics -1

With this first post special to Bitcoin core,over next few months I intend to do some exploring on the bitcoin mechanics part.This basically means playing with the blocks and blockchain vide few python based scripts.Will start from the installation part followed by other posts on extracting info from bitcoin blockchain. This post basically is straight forward installation with the following commands.Screen shots for info :

Firstly install snapd with the following commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd

goto https://snapcraft.io/bitcoin-core

 

 click green button install

after this installation of snapd,one single command as follows:

sudo snap install bitcoin-core

The effected screenshots are seen below :

Once installed ,you can check on the terminal...should see three bitcoin applications by tabbing

While the GUI shows as below

When you run for the first time,the GUI notification pops for asking for location of default directory for storing blocks.

Thereafter the blocks start getting downloaded with status of files downloaded visible....

Blocks downloaded status is seen below...this downloading around 287 GB as on date will take time as per download speed available.

The location of the blocks being downloaded will be at /home/bitcoin_scripts/snap/bitcoin-core/common/.bitcoin/blocks where bitcoin_scripts is the user name.

Next post we will see whats inside the block....
