Can anyone recommend books for building a blockchain?

Question

bitcoin

Can anyone recommend books that describe what the blockchain looks like from a practical point of view? That is, how to create it with all sorts of nuances according to the type of distribution, it describes how the switch from one branch to another goes on, and so on. I plan to create on the pluses.

Answer 1

Good Books:
Andreas Antonopoulos - Mastering Bitcoin. Blockchain programming.
Imran Bashir - Blockchain Cryptocurrency Architecture
Kalle Rosenbaum - Grow Bitcoin Technology

Answer 2

Crypto..economy is a relatively young technology, probably a lot of training books have been written, but more for the user (smart contracts), creating the blockchain itself from scratch is a matter of personal professionalism and the ability to read someone else's code
. Many projects, by the way positioning themselves as decentralized, rarely reveal the ins and outs of their own launch (after all, then anyone can launch their clone at the start of the project and, without spending money on marketing, take away the client base for themselves) and the development of each such project is closely centralized for its developers.
ps on the topic of the question,

how to switch from one branch to another

depending on the consensus, for example, for PoW - the amount of energy that was spent on creating a branch, and for bitcoin this is determined through complexity, which changes only once every 2 thousand blocks, which means you can simply take the branch with the highest block number (number), and if the number is the same, take the block that came to the node first (in general, the node itself can choose which block to use in this case)
