The most valuable contribution of the bitcoin community is not in the financial returns itself, but in the introduction of blockchain technology.

How to do time series prediction using RNNs, TensorFlow and Cloud ML Engine

Dataconomy

The Estimators API in tf.contrib.learn (See tutorial here) is a very convenient way to get started using TensorFlow. The really cool thing from my perspective about the Estimators API is that using it is a very easy way to create distributed TensorFlow models. Many of the TensorFlow samples that you.
