Insane drip 🥶



In the Blockchain Analytics module of the AFI's Master in Data Science & AI, I guide students through one of the most hands-on exercises you can do to truly understand how Bitcoin works: spinning up two real Bitcoin Core nodes in regtest mode (a private, local blockchain you control entirely) and watching them talk to each other in real time. I show my students how to create wallets, connect the nodes as peers, mine blocks, send transactions, and observe exactly what happens at each step: why a freshly mined coinbase isn't spendable yet, what "unconfirmed" really means, how a transaction travels from the mempool to a confirmed block... But this edition I've added something new: instead of just running CLI commands, students used Claude to build a full web dashboard from scratch. The result is a real-time block explorer that shows both nodes side by side, highlights new blocks as they're mined, lets you click into any transaction, and monitors the mempool. The prompt used to generate it is included in the repo. The whole thing runs locally with zero external dependencies. If you've ever wanted to understand how Bitcoin really works (blocks, transactions, mempool, peer propagation) there's no better way than running it yourself. Clone the repo, follow the step-by-step guide, and in less than 30 minutes you'll have your own private Bitcoin network running on your machine. 👉 github.com/joobid/bitcoin… No cloud. No testnet faucets. No waiting. Just Bitcoin, running locally, doing exactly what it does on mainnet.
