Comparisons of platforms (coins), distributed applications (tokens) and their capabilities is missing from the crypto-currency and digital asset space. Most projects require some level of software engineering skills, limiting their accessibility to a wider audience.
Developers face steep learning curve and uncertainty in selecting the best platform for their use case. Business needs intelligence on competitive projects.
This repo provides the bare minimum to set up cloud resources and sync a blockchain from either the genesis block or from an already synched blockchain. We abstract away the environment requirements using standardized cloud services. Further we provide standardized configuration files, set-up scripts and server configurations.
Our goals are to provide:
-
Minimal resources to launch a server from a cloud based service.
-
Reproducible. This project is not seeking to become a trusted source, but rather a reproducible resource for developers to quickly move up the learning curve.
-
Standard environment. Provide a small number of environment variables, system services and set-up scripts common to all blockchains.
-
Shorten learning curve. Removing some of the common software engineering tasks and providing synched blockchains allows developer to focus on the features of each project.
-
Comparable features. Provide comparative statistics, installed scaffolding, tools including command line interface links, links to SDKs and some common, simple capabilities (tokens, smart contracts, etc.)
