I have a video covering the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (https://youtu.be/YZafZ3Rvd8I)) and work with a guy who does most of the cryptography for a Monero competitor, but my main focus relating to the space is voting algorithm.

>there is for sure some fuckup somewhere that lets you do a lattice/matrix exploit on leaky optimisations
And you're the first and only one to see it? I don't know what a lattice exploit is, but assuming it's working with a grid to associate private to public keys, then I suppose Monero were still "better" than Bitcoin after that vulnerability?

It's cool. I started my channel to talk about type theory, but I dabbled into crypto in 2017

This sort of advice is extremely situational and dependent.
I earn €5k a month as an R&D guy in tech, which is about €3k after taxes, and I only know how to spend at most €2k of it. I would for the live of me never recommend to not spend money, not eat the food I want, or do side jobs for money. At least from my perspective, saving money is a meme and since yolo, you cutting down on lifestyle is retarded.
Now granted, I got the PhD education etc. to find a job whenever I need to, but the reality of things is that -everybody- can learn python in 6 months well enough to 100% get a job. At least in and around Germany.
Money is more or less just being-old backup once you got a nice flat, got a job you actually like and enough cash on the side so you could take a spontaneous trip to xyz at any point. Beyond that it's self-brainwashing.I read "I teach my kids how to be reserved with money / how important money is" on Quora all the time and so I know this is a common perspective, but I'd argue that it's pretty much a trap.

Smart contract, proof of work, those are all just ideas from the 90's.
The blockchain data structure, or more generally Merkle trees, are from the 70's. Git isn't far from it.
Satoshis insight from 2008 is to use proof of work for consensus and write to a chain.

Well I'm not depressed at all, but I'm also not sure about this money stuff.

In my wage job, I was and am making $4000 after taxes but never changed living like I only have $1200.

Then crypto came along in June and I could invest $20,000 and I have $400,000 now in cold storage. But for what, I don't know. I just want to do math. In fact, it's part of the reason I'm feeling pretty good, I'm writing a book and there's a point to things. But the accumulating money doesn't change anything. $20,000 is the same sort of security fallback as is $400,000, practically speaking.

I actually know a few people in the $0.1 billion range. Sounds like larping, but that's just ETH ICO people. Mind you, ETH was 31 cents at ICO, so each $350 gives you a million now. And those kids also don't spend any of it.

Well yes, in the sense that proof of work and smart contracts are literally buzzwords from the 90's and apart from the idea of using proof of work for consensus, all of this could have been implemented in the early 90's already. It needs people who are interested in it and create a mass effect. But whether of not it's a self-fulfilling prophecy or not is not really relevant and it's also the case with basically everything that doesn't have to do with sex and food

pumped in 5 digits since July (got in just after the ETH and BTC pumped happened) and made 8x

but I can actually write SmartContracts etc., so I feel I know what I'm doing and what to invest in and what not. Even if that means missing out on some risky pumps

I'm only doing this in my free time.
The question is hard to answer. It's the wild west were if you know a hello world on a blockchain platform, you're spammed with LinkedIn request from people who want their idea realized. Or worse, they just want to do an ICO. I personally think that the ecosystem would be healthier if there wasn't that much money involved. Right now you just have a few competing platforms and there's enough to do and so I lack time more than anything. There's no good resource to find people except by asking repeatedly or stalking people on github, but people work on the ecosystem (e.g. this project https://moonlight.io/, also on NEO). If generally sounds like you want to know which projects I think are good investments and to that I'd say that in short term, the quality of a project seems only loosely related to how well it will do on the market.
"The oracle problem" mentioned is of course a real problem. I can make you an app in which you can store your diary in encrypted form and ambitious people work on decentralized trading platforms, but this is all just things on the network itself. If I were to make a dApp which tells a user the weather Vienna, there's no way to do this in a decentralized fashion - none that doesn't have a huge overhead.
A simple way to get funds on the blockchain (buying with $) and lack of knowledge of people what a dapp can an can't do. But hey, this is exactly the content of the video I posted above.

I looked at that months ago when searching for other blockchains using Python. It's a blockchain by the Walt Disney marketing web service crew, no? I don't see them doing anything globally relevant.

Yes it was. First I wrote in myself. Pretty sure it's the simplest and broadest one to get into too.
My youtube channel was really me explaining dependently type functional programming languages, but this stuff caught my attention in August.

>money entering the market

If in 2h every BTC holder decided not to sell BTC under $21k, then the price would jump up to $21k.

Don't be confused thinking the BTC market cap rise corresponds to money flowing in. Money flowing in helps, but what you see is people not wanting to sell in fear of seeing their sold BTC grow further.
It will break, eventually.

If you wrote that, change Ethereum to Ether.
The currency with a $ price attached is Ether, not Ethereum.

Also, a "Short history of /biz/" should at least mention that it was created as a containment board for crypto threads on /g/.

I'm a mathematican and software engineer.

I'd like to learn a lanugage on a blockchain. I mean I'll do it either way, but tell me about your project

mestesletu@ibsats.com

4 days here.

but desu I think the out time is good for a noob like me to follow things closely and learn before I put my money in

question: do you get notified per mail if you get verified or do I have to login every day?
