Whitepaper - Ethereum Classic With Cover

Ethereum Classic Documentation, Release 0.1
of the receipt trie is part of the block header alongside the roots of state and state-trie. In a broad
sense from the external perspective receipts are part of the Ethereum system state except that
they are not readable contracts internally.
1.10 The Classic Documentation Initiative
1.10.1 Purpose and Audience
This guide should serve to be an entry level for all Ethereum users and developers. The goal is to create documentation
with information, short tutorials, and examples that will cover all of the basic and intermediate functionality
of using Ethereum to interact with dapps or develop a dapp.
Any information that is overly specific, technical, or not necessary to accomplish the documentation’s goal will
remain on the Ethereum Github Wiki. It may be referenced in this guide if necessary.
Although much of the information will be similar between the Frontier Guide and the Homestead Guide, efforts
need to be made to make sure the information ported over is still accurate. This document is client agnostic and
examples and tutorials may be based on any client that the author decides to write on, as long as a distinction is
made as to what client is being used in the examples/tutorials.
Although overly specific and technical documentation will not be included in the first iterations of this guide,
community use and popularity of this guide will dictate future decisions to move Github wiki documentation to
this format.
Examples of overly specific and technical documentation include:
• ETHash, CASPER, ABI, RLP, or other technical specs.
• Full API specs for protocols. Caveat: If an example, information, or tutorial needs to reference API calls
for a client or interface in order to fulfill its example it is acceptable to reference the specific call. Be sure
to make a reference where the user can find remaining pieces of the specific documentation that may be on
the GitHub Wiki.
