I'm going to implement a variant of

>A Smart Contract for Boardroom Voting with Maximum Voter Privacy
on a project that's a fork of ARK. Let me know if you're interested.

If "this field" is crypto, then no, there's lots of other work.

The auditing on top might not hurt, but much of it is indeed probably unnecessary, if you switch to a strong language.
I said I don't know Rust but I have it in mind because I liked the language Libra had introduced 2 years ago ("Move"), which I even reviewed here

https://youtu.be/7prwZpMtoGA

which is Rust-like but has lots of more domain specific support.
PS I will go online in 40 minutes and read this paper that I've digged up:
(I make pomodoro study streams 50/10, same channel as the link above)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.06674.pdf

2008, a group or person recognized that, via huge energy investment, you could take decentralized consensus algorithms from 33% failsafe to 50% failsafe and on top of it reduce communication overhead between nodes/participating agents.
In practice, it allows for an implementation of digital scarcity - e.g. usable for a form of currency.
The implementation of this, for the sake of running a variant of "hashcash", two years later, as the so called Bitcoin protocol lead to three, four price bubble and, more importantly, a boom in research and startups in the field.

Buy some.

I'm not sure to what extent this thread is /biz/ related but just a day ago I uploaded a length video coding a simple machine learning routine from scratch - could be useful to get into it

(I do math videos on crypto, more https://youtu.be/UziK-Hqzwi4))

Dependent type systems are the future.

For the technically interested, here's a clip I just uploaded (100 mins) doing a live coding and deep dive explanation of SHA2 (as used for bitcoin mining)

For the technically inclined, I had just uploaded a video (2h) on how raw bitcoin transaction and, generally, elliptic curve signatures work:

Well it weakens the security for sure.
If there are b base characters and m is the max length, then for brute force you'd generally need to search through
>sum over b^n, with n from 1 to m
while here you only need to brute force through
>b^m
(which is the last term)

e.g. if the base characrers are A,B,C and D and m=3, then generally the possible passwords are

A
B
C
D
AA
AB
AC
AD
BA
BB
BC
BD
CA
CB
CC
...
etc.
....
and then
AAAA
AAAB
AAAC
...
etc.
ABCD
..
etc.
DDDD

in the cutoff method that that bank of whaver employed, you only need to search through the longest ones and e.g. checking ADBA automatically also checks A and AD and ADB as well.

Granted, the most combinations are always in the last term (b^m) but it's just mathematical fact that it lowers the security of the system.

The
>digital gold
or
>store of value
slogan is a meme. Nakamotos whitepaper is titled
>Bitcoin: A peer-to-peer electronic cash system
and his innovation was to have potentially adversary nodes find consensus (a problem form before the 70's) using proof-of-work (an innovation from the 90's) using a simple Merkle tree data structure (a "block chain", an idea from the 70's) and use it to execute smart contracts (an idea from the 90's, except they soon took away Turing completeness, which Vitalik didn't like and so he forked). tl;dr the proof-of-work-for-consensus part was the novelty and it turned out a few years in that it wouldn't scale. That's the end of a decentralized bitcoin and that was 4 years ago at least. But this lead to a boom in DLT research and projects and that's where we are now.
The new-rich hodlers are still sitting on bitcoin, though, and bitcoins price sentiment controls the funds of all other projects.
On a global scale, if you want decentralization, technologically the space will go in a DAG direction, but it will all be branded as developments building on le bitcoin.

It's not my stated goal to do business, just to do something cool - but sure if one can produce something sell-able, that's also cool. I just won't spend time on marketing myself.

Well I'm not going to start a debate, but yes, I'm in it for the tech. Literally have a pdf on distirbuted computing open right now.

Steep learning curve, but there's more and more Haskell and Scala being used irl. I'd long functional language adoption if I could.

bump

As a guy who knows Java, if you have some time and you're into crypto as well, maybe write me as I want to get into and review a project using Scala for the JVM and being a bit tied to BitcoinJ cryptography.

I like Haskell but I'm not too interested in buying a top 10 marketcap coin. The are solid project on cmc spot 400 and later right now that just depend on BTC mooning to get first money in

You can periodically check your balance and if it's >10$ automatically set a sell order

For Bittrex (whichhowever only have USDT), I have good experiences with

https://github.com/ericsomdahl/python-bittrex

I'll get back writing books in a month and might be covering the api on this channel

This is naturally harder to answer than whether BTC will moon or not isn't it. I can't predict all the news that will pump the price within 10 months.

Given that ICO's and Steemit are the only notable apps on a blockchain as of now, I have a bit of confidence and I think I'll going to hodl my few EOS over the June 1 date, at which point it's BTC will be much more than now.

On a less related note, while there are some programmers arguing, I'm going to implement an anonymous voting contract from this paper
http://fc17.ifca.ai/preproceedings/paper_80.pdf
on NEO. If someone's interested, please contact me:

The "gain" is that it's digital while at the same time enabling you to hold your own money.
You can hold your own gold but then it's not digital and transferable.
Of you can sign up to a platform/bank, in which case you can send it over the platform interface but at no time do you hold your money (you trust the bank not to die/runaway/blackmail you)

Most tech for bitcoin existed since forever

"blockchain" - 70's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree

proof of work - 90s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-work_system

internet money - 90's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash

smart contract - 90's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_contract

The paper from 2008 however combined all of those and solved what's known as the "double spending problem"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-spending

Thus enabling the
>digital while at the same time enabling you to hold your own money.

But there are many better cryptos than BTC now

I mean yes, but it's not the case

Haskell!
Well, I think it's usable if you don't need libraries for anything :P

Where do you take issue witih the standard Prelude? Tweaking this will probably be less work than Idris. But anyway, use Idris. Someone's gotta start :P

As a matter of fact, if you're actually interesting in blockchain stuff with Haskll or Idris, and for a long time project to test the waters, I've wanted to write a compiler to NEO smart contracts for quite some time. You may reach me here

C# and custom languages will be the defaults.

You can do some in Python on some platforms. And I can only imagine Lisk uses javascript.
I'm personally mostly a mathematically oriented script kiddy.

I can say that I figured out /biz/ is a hype bubble. Nobody shills Link like they do here, why is that?
I already dropped a few lines on Link, the whitepaper is available too. You can also check out their previous website.

Spoiler: I'm the guy in the first video, do some coding in the Neo open source community, recently.

I suppose Data Dash on youtube, who has also a Discord, covers things quite well.

Ethereum price is 35% that of Bitcoin (not per coin, but the per coin price is irrelevant as the total coin supply is an arbitrary number set at initiation of the protocol). Thus it can't "moon" (in the proper sense of the word - not more like BTC anyway).
