It consists of a credit card that was not opened to international transactions.

To let people know, IBM developer is a place where you can create your prototypes easily with the help of IBM tools in different fields. But, I decided to build a prototype with my mate by registering for IBM developer and building a voting prototype on the blockchain. Let’s delve into the topic.

My experience with IBM developer

We decided to create a prototype for our R&D efforts. And he found that the IBM developer website would be a suitable platform to create a hyperledger prototype. So we decided to get in and to create a prototype for our own efforts. While we were building a prototype and opening an account, my credit card was simply declined even though that was active. And we planned to get the $200 free and to cancel the credit card and repeat. But we simply failed and decided that we either have to use lots of computers with containerized apps or we have to take funding to create a developer account. So, we postponed and decided to build our prototypes without using the IBM developer. But we keep the door open if we get funding for our account on IBM developer as a local organization.

So, what’s next

Instead, we decided to build the prototypes by ourselves using containerized applications. Consequently, our process became way more complicated when developing hyperledger products. It means that we have to endure a way more complex programming procedure instead of simple partially completed prototypes when we totally build the crews in the research and development to keep the crew going and building prototypes and managing the projects. Finally, we decided that we’ll join the hackathons.
