> I have slowly curated such a list, but it's as I said you need to go out of your way and often get custom things from niche brands.

Any plans on making this list publicly available?

I recommend The Source by Michener (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Source_(novel)). Masterfully written.

Additionally, here is some advice from Balaji Srinivasan (source: https://www.producthunt.com/live/balaji-s-srinivasan):

1. First, I'd master database and cryptography fundamentals, with something like Dan Boneh's course for the latter

2. Then, I'd read the Bitcoin.org and Ethereum documentation

3. Then, you should write short Python or Go scripts to do things like printing out the blockchain, formatting and signing a transaction by hand, managing private keys, that type of thing. This will give you a feel for the raw data structures.

4. After doing all this, I'd take a look at application libraries like Ryan Shea and Muneeb Ali's new blockstack.org

The reason I'd do it in this order is that you would learn fundamentals first before proceeding to the cutting edge.

Wow - that's awesome

Also going solo from the east coast.

I'm also deciding if it's worth the cost to make the 2000+ mile trip.
