How to Install IPFS via Kubo on Ubuntu ?
In this blog post, I'll be sharing a step-by-step video tutorial that will guide you through the process of installing IPFS on an Ubuntu platform using Kubo. But first, let's take a brief look at what IPFS is and why you might want to use it.
IPFS is a distributed file system that aims to replace HTTP as the primary protocol for transferring data on the internet. It allows users to store and share files with others without relying on a central server, making it more secure and efficient than traditional file-sharing methods.
Now, let's dive into the installation process. To follow along with the tutorial, you'll need to have access to an Ubuntu platform and have Kubo installed. If you don't have Kubo installed, you can find the instructions for installing it here.
Step 1: Open a terminal window on your Ubuntu platform.
Step 2: Clone the IPFS repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs.git
Step 3: Navigate to the IPFS directory by running the following command:
cd ipfs
Step 4: Install IPFS via Kubo by running the following command:
kubectl apply -f ./deployment/ipfs-kubo.yml
And that's it! IPFS should now be installed on your Ubuntu platform via Kubo.
If you'd like to see the installation process in action, check out the video tutorial below which shows IPFS installation vide another way
In conclusion, IPFS is a powerful tool that can revolutionize the way we share and store files online. By following these simple steps, you can easily install IPFS via Kubo on your Ubuntu platform and start exploring all that this innovative technology has to offer.
We hope you found this tutorial helpful. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment below. Happy installing!

Multichain : How to Connect-Receive-Send to a Blockchain node?
Multichain Blockchain Platform: Brief Introduction & Installation
This video gives a minimal few minutes introduction to the Multichain blockchain platform followed by quick installation on an Ubuntu 20.04 OS terminal. This is one of the easiest platforms to play with and understand in much better way the mechanics of blockchain. Primarily CLI based, this video installs the multichain with few commands.

Full expanded form of IOTA blockchain?
Well.... I always used to look for the expanded form of IOTA blockchain but could never get the answer. But today I got the same finally vide a chat as produced below:
" it's not an acronym, but it stands for the smallest unit possible in the greek alphabet, as with IOTA also micropayments are possible, e.g. 0.000001 cent. IOTA is engineered completely different than a traditional blockchain, but the IOTA Foundation is one of the leading orgs for DLT research globally, pioneering the DAG (directed acyclic graph) since 2016. The DAG enables parallel access to the DLT. IOTA is designing a green, secure, feeless and highly scalable DLT, without the negative "issues" of blockchain. This also makes it very suitable for data-driven scenarios like DID. Organizations also do not need to buy/hold cryptocurrency"
Thanks Holger Kother...

Byzantine General - Proof of Work consensus and Mining in Bitcoin Blockchain
Analogical to a Byzantine general scenario wherein a number of armies intending to attack an enemy fort need to reach a consensus of day/time to attack, this video explains how Bitcoin nodes attain consensus vide the Proof-of-work method on the same lines. This video builds up from brief history from David Chaum and Adam Bach works onwards to Wei Dai works on Blind signatures, Hash Cash and Proof-of-Work to understand concept of nonce and consensus mechanism in a Bitcoin Blockchain. Further this video brings out the reward mechanics in the Bitcoin eco-system and also Mining methods and types

Hashes & Merkle Trees in Blockchain Mechanics
Hash Functions take input of any length and produce a fixed-length string which means that one can use hashes on something as small as a few characters or as large as an entire document or even files of huge sizes in GBs and above.
On the other hand enabled by these hash functions, Merkle tree represent hash-based data structure that is a generalization of the hash list and represent structure in which each leaf node is a hash of a block of data, and each non-leaf node is a hash of its children. Both Hash functions and Merkle Trees are cardinal to the mechanics of any Blockchain.
This video focuses on a simple explanation of understanding Hashes and Merkle Trees. Hash functions SHA-256 and RIPEMD-160 have been discussed in little detail being peculiar to Bitcoin blockchain.

Technology amalgamations inside Blockchain
Blockchain is an amalgamation of multiple technologies which have existed already in the IT ecosystem for last few decades. These include majorly cryptography, private-public keys, hashes, proof-of-work and other important technologies. This video post only identifies by name of what major technologies any blockchain is enabled on.
Where to start the "Learning BLOCKCHAIN" journey ?
Related to my earlier post https://anupriti.blogspot.com/2021/05/i-want-to-learn-blockchain-but-where-do.html this post focuses on the same presentation in a video talk version....

Recent Advances and Trends in Lightweight Cryptography for IoT Security and Blockchain Technologies at RGPV Bhopal 27th July 2021
An FDP was held peculiar to domain of Lightweight Cryptography for IoT Security and Blockchain Technologies at RGPV Bhopal on 27th July 2021.The objective of this FDP was to bring together faculties, researchers, PG and UG students from across the country to learn about security challenges in Modern Cryptography, Blockchain & IoT. FDP aimed to demonstrate security challenges that Modern Cryptography, Blockchain, IoT systems pose, demands users to select a reliable and compatible architecture according to the business requirements to ensure secure flow of data and communication and also define the solution and future prospects related to these challenges. I gave a small 2 hour talk on the same which is available at the youtube link below

I want to learn Blockchain, but where do I start from? : Here is My Answer.
I am writing this one exclusive post for guys who just wish to begin their journey in the domain of Blockchain. "Blockchain" term has been buzzing across academia, universities, corporate industries and every where around. In most of the webinars I speak in, I find many inquisitive learners willing to jump in the domain but unable to find that exclusive blockchain sea where to dive in. And if ever they try diving in, the sheer amount of books, videos and sea of information existing on the internet just splashes their visions soon to drown. Herewith I am sharing few slides that are based on my journey in this domain for now over 5 years. The presentation brings out details of topics one should start exploring and dig in followed by few books that I have in person followed and imbibed from.
