Not doing Point 1 of Github issue 89, as stated in the issue 89 discussion.
Point 2: Remove video on DLT vs. Blockchain
Remove the video, which confused students. See Discussion forum post: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:LinuxFoundationX+LFS171x+3T2017/discussion/forum/i4x-LinuxFoundationX-LFS171x-course-3T_2017/threads/5a78c95684452a081800089c.
Extend explanation that Blockchain is just a type of DLT by mentioning 2 other types of DLTs.
Point 3, Modified Point 4, Add missing link
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) > Blockchains (Continued)
Definition of block shouldn’t be split up with mention of bitcoin concepts in between. I put the bitcoin example after block is explained, for better concept flow.
Nonce relates to the Bitcoin example, so indicate that this list of 4 pieces of metadata refer to the Bitcoin example (which continues with the Merkle Tree section in the next slide).
Bonus: "or a brief history of blockchain technology, please click here." was missing the link "here". Added it.
Point 5: Remove conceptual speed bump
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) > Blockchains (Continued): I propose to mention that Merkle tree root will be defined on the next page, to remove a brain speed bump for students who don't know what a Merkle tree is.
