[$5000 worth in PTS] BitShares Blockchain Technical Specification [PENDING]

[bytemaster]

I checked in a version that finishes (hopefully) all the explanation of the classes in block.hpp and transaction.hpp.
Please guide me for more work.
https://github.com/nmushegian/BitShares/blob/master/doc/spec.md

For an example of you Bitcoin documented this:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification

It would be very difficult for me to build BitShares X starting only with the spec you have provided.

Ok so we're talking about the whole protocol specification, not only blockchain structure.

The blockchain structure is the protocol, the messages for communicating blocks, transactions, over the wire etc are not considered part of this.  Someone should be able to follow these direction to build and serialize a valid transaction, sign it, and validate a block chain.   A good start would be to fully document the serialization and fields in an easy to understand way.

bytemaster you said you wanted to help bootstrap this, can you say some more words?
I'm going to work on merging in whatever parts of naturalog's work that I can and then the most up-to-date work will be in the spec branch on my repo.

is it ready already? can i continue on your branch?

Yes, go ahead

bytemaster, can you please supply some explanation about the block state structure?
toast, do you plan working on this doc? Otherwise I'll work on my fork.
see my work so far here
https://github.com/naturalog/BitShares/blob/master/doc/BitSharesBlockchainDesign.md

The block_state structure does not exist in the current github repo. 

[naturalog]

Conversely, I'll gladly do the merge if we want to work in my branch.

getting on irc bitshares@freenode

[bytemaster]

Hey, today I want to help bootstrap this process some.

I saw the doc but it barely had anything at the time. Let's pick one repo and work there. I'm fine with using yours if you do the work of merging (but you should check out a new branch IMO, not use master). Conversely, I'll gladly do the merge if we want to work in my branch.
