-## Connect to IPDB
-
-This part explains, how to connect to IPDB testnet
-(Good post https://medium.com/ipdb-blog/using-the-ipdb-test-network-a615f93d50a9)
-
-1. Create an account in IPDB and retrieve an app id etc.
-2. To connect to IPDB network you need your app_id & app_key. To get both, you need to register yourself in the following link https://developers.ipdb.io/signup
-3. Once done,
-
-```js
-const API_PATH = 'https://test.ipdb.io/api/v1/'
-const conn = new BigchainDB.Connection(API_PATH, {
-    app_id: 'your_app_id',
-    app_key: 'your_app_key'
-})
-```
-
-### Connect to REST API + Websocket
-
-https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/js-driver/en/latest/usage.html#websocket-event-stream-api-usage
-
-If you are connecting to a node that has support for the Event Stream API, you will be able to access real-time event streams over the WebSocket.
-
-Send a HTTP GET request to the node’s API Root Endpoint (e.g. http://localhost:9984/api/v1/) to check if the response the response contains a streams property:
-
-```js
-var wsUri = "ws://localhost:9985/api/v1/streams/valid_transactions";
-function init() {
-        websocket = new WebSocket(wsUri);
-        websocket.onmessage = function(evt) { onMessage(evt) };
-}
-function onMessage(evt) {
-        writeToScreen('<a href="#" class="list-group-item"><h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Valid Transaction</h4><p class="list-group-item-text">' + evt.data + '</p></a>');
-}
-function writeToScreen(message) {
-        var pre = document.createElement("p");
-        pre.style.wordWrap = "break-word";
-        pre.innerHTML = message;
-        output.appendChild(pre);
-}
-/* Initialize websocket and attach all events */
-window.addEventListener("load", init, false);
-```
-
-## Drivers and library
-
-This part in the journey contains everything that needs to be downloaded to be able to write an application in BigchainDB/IPDB (drivers, library etc.) => shortest path to get started
-
-Focus on JS driver in the beginning
-
-Basecally you just need to install the driver, for JS:
-
-```bash
-$ npm install bigchaindb-driver
-In case of python:
-$ pip3 install bigchaindb_driver
-```
