Ethereum Blockchain with Azure

Usually setting up a full environment for developing DApps with Ethereum blockchain is a complicating task. Microsoft Azure, offers a fantastic Virtual Machine with all of the tools installed, so im going to show this in this blog post.

So this url shows the full image and the complete list of out of the box environment

on azure you can select VM:Virtual Machine and Add+, then search for "Ethereum Development Kit"


You always have the option of Creating the VM and Exporting it to a VHD to use on a local Virtual Machine. You can follow the instructions here to export to a VHD

Is Making the Crypto Space Legally Compliant Paving the Road to Mass (Blockchain) Adoption?

Image
Image Source The rise of blockchain has pushed crypto currencies to the forefront and enabled them to reach more and more people every day.  And while crypto mass adoption has been visible more than ever with currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, others didn’t have such an easy time taking off.  Bitcoin accumulation has created an abundance of wealth for those who own it, while Ethereum has provided business opportunities via creations like smart contracts. But there were also cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and SpaceBit, and, most famously, Ethereum’s DAO that failed quickly after the launch because of unclearly mapped progression paths, bad publicity, security breaches, and unethical behavior.  In that sense, many people believe that the reason for these shortcomings is the absence of regulations and frameworks that prevent bad business practices and malicious behavior. The continued ability to conduct all these activities in the sector, unchecked, has resulted in the cr...

Solidity Hash of Structs (Testing hash uniqueness)

So ive been informed by one of my Advisee ( Rain de Castro )  that when hashing a Struct in Solidity, the hash is the same for 2 data that is different. So i did a few tests with the following Code pragma solidity ^0.4.0; contract testHashAresh{ //Declare a struct similar to C++ struct Person{ string fullName; string number; } mapping (bytes32 => Person) allPersons; function returnHash(string _name, string _time) constant returns (bytes32,bytes32) { Person memory p = Person(_name, _time); bytes32 hash2 = sha256(p); bytes32 hash = sha256(_name, _time); return (hash2, hash); } } True enough The returned value for a data "Aresh","555" 0: bytes32: 0xac9c046be90fd91b4a31b9d04bb937659e885264dd8e6b8a7c9e79b806ef3ead 1: bytes32: 0x5ffc903b2aee670ea38ec2c35a8c5b8ac04754cf77536dd89d4d9985c4fd110f while the data for "Armin","555" is 0: bytes32...

Parity installation on Ubuntu Virtual Machine

Image
Im going to be installing Parity on a Virtual Machine. My current OS is a Windows 10 and use the following settings installing ubuntu should be by downloading the ISO and creating a new VM on oracle virtual machine and attaching the ISO file and running setup until you have installed Ubuntu. To Install Parity on your Ubuntu. Open the terminal window and type away: >sudo apt-get install rustc cargo >sudo apt-get install curl >bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -Lk) >sudo apt-get install snapd >sudo snap install parity-ui >sudo apt install npm >sudo snap install parity OPTIONAL:  (a just in case all the above fails and i dont know what those mean, you would want to do this) go to PARITY.IO download and install the parity debian build for ubuntu once installed. you can now see Parity and Parity UI in your applications Running Parity from the Applications Menu: click on parity first to open the terminal while keeping the terminal op...
