    I create Ethereum Developer Video courses. And I need your help.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 10:05 AM PST

    Hey everyone,

    ​

    if you ever searched for video courses on Ethereum Development, there is a great chance you came across one of my courses. I've been creating video courses about Ethereum Development since beginning of 2016 and I always tried to keep the price tag low so everyone can join, but without neglecting the depth of what you'll learn. For example, my courses are hovering at around 1.5 starbucks latte's, or $10 to $15 on Udemy, some of them are even for free, but cover everything from theory to practice, Solidity, Truffle, Geth, etc etc, name it, it's in there. Essentially, I was hoping that I will reach a wide audience and teach them the beauty of blockchain development without the necessity to spend thousands of dollars, but still having the value that you learn more than enough to go out and actually build something. My goal was always that someone who finishes the course has fundamentally understood the tools and workflows and can apply it to pretty much anything Ethereum or even Blockchain related. So far so good.

    ​

    Now, one of the biggest challenges throughout the year(s) is keeping either the courses or the materials updated. No other ecosystem is moving that fast and things break or get outdated on a weekly basis, literally. I barely have a week where I don't shake my head about some non-backwards compatibility which breaks everything and I didn't expect it. I understand it, it moves fast, but it has been a pain, for me as well as for the students.

    ​

    I want to avoid telling people in the course to checkout a specific (old) version of some specific library or tool. It would save me a ton of work, but I have the feeling that this is not what you should learn. You want to get into cutting edge tech, you should be able to apply it to the cutting edge lib.

    ​

    Here is where you come in: We just launched a 40h course bundle which takes you from the very basics to some more advanced topics. And I need your help. I need someone with some development background, but little to no blockchain development knowledge, who is looking to expand his knowledge into the blockchain world give me some thorough feedback. Unfortunately, all I can offer in return at this point is having a wide open ear and give you the course for free. I know, it's not much of a saving considering the initial price tag, but I'd be delighted anyways if someone would be willing to jump in.

    ​

    I want to know where I missed to answer your questions you might had before you started the course. I want to know if something is not working as expected or unclear. I don't mean the little things, I mean those things you can't figure out without fiddling around a little bit that make you want to walk totally away from the blockchain world. I want to know if something is utterly confusing, or where I have to work harder to make my point clear. Or at which point you stopped listening and just turned it off.

    ​

    Ideally, I am looking for developers without any (or only little) prior experience in Solidity/Ethereum Development, but with some development background. Like WebDevs, JavaScript, or Java, or Python, or PHP, whatever it is, you name it. As long as you got your hands dirty with some coding in the past. Meaning, these courses are *not* for management-type people who are looking into blockchain project management techniques or how to do and market a fancy ICO/STO. These courses are hands-on developer courses and therefore things like Git or NodeJS should not throw you off completely. I assume the majority of people here are comfortable with hands-on. I would be surprised if not.

    ​

    You can help shape the next course and help me make it dramatically better than the last eight courses at the parts where I failed to serve you whilst still keeping the price tag low. I don't want to keep making courses, which is fun, but repeat mistakes I don't see.

    ​

    If you feel like this resonates with you or you know someone who could benefit of this then please fill out this form https://thomaswiesner.typeform.com/to/xRiwST you'd help me and possibly others a lot. I will see how many people come together and try to choose all or wisely a subset.

    ​

    If you have any other questions, let me know, I'm active here in the comments as well.

    Claim up to 150k in bug bounty rewards for the test dxDAO

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 08:32 AM PST

    Security is important, especially when an entire community is a stakeholder in a project. Before the vote staking period for the dxDAO begins February 18th, we'll be running a bug bounty program with rewards up to $150k.

    ​

    The bug bounty payouts for hackers focus on two major attacks:

    ​

    - Gaining access to ETH or ERC20 tokens in locking contracts

    - Breaking the DAO, either by passing a decision or draining its funds against a majority vote

    If bountied vulnerabilities are found, hackers can either report the bug or drain the associated funds. If reported, the rewards can be paid out if the funds are still accessible. Payout for the bug bounty program will not exceed the funds used in the test dxDAO. Please see the Contract Addresses section below for links to the code, and Reporting section below for further details on the reporting process.

    ​

    TCR Party - A Twitter Curated Registry

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 09:18 AM PST

    Hey /r/Ethereum

    We wanted to let this community know about a product that we've released on Ropsten called "TCR Party" -

    Our team (Alpine) hasn't been too sold on the idea of a TCR because we feel as though they end up becoming subjective beauty contests. So in this case, we decided to build a subjective beauty contest in the form of a TCR curating the "top" 100 crypto twitter accounts.

    The product consists of a slightly modified TCR, a twitter bot that manages a multisig on a user's behalf, and a twitter bot that retweets list members.

    We were not only looking to test our assumptions about TCRs, but test existing interfaces that millions of users already know how to interact with (Twitter).

    Would love to see a few of the community members come join us and help break/participate in this thing.

    *This is a non-monetary project - there's no financial gain on this, this is an experiment to create a usable TCR*

    Wallet emptied / funds stolen

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 06:27 AM PST

    Sometime last week: https://etherscan.io/address/0x11411f7C0582376c5832DB8C2C9Ff3F4F619d00B

    Key was in a TrueCrypt drive which I hadn't accessed for months/years. No one else had access, so I'm guessing it was something like TeamViewer or some kind of exploit. I'm on Win10, latest patches and firewall on etc.

    Well, that's the end of my Ethereum days. Wish I'd never heard about it in 2016.

    Edit: I was hoping to use the Eth to fund a small sw business, now that hope is fully gone :(

    Reasons to be optimistic

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 01:38 AM PST

    You know, it seems really quiet around this subreddit lately, and the little bit that has gotten through has only been bugs, mostly. I think it's a bit misleading. There seems to be a constant stream of worldwide conventions and Ethereum is still chugging a half a million transactions a day(yawn).

    I mean, that's good news, but for me, even as someone who has worked in this arena for a couple of years now, I'm still surprised to find out how much engineering effort is being poured into Ethereum and things being built on Ethereum.

    I've recently poked my head into a few of open source projects getting out of my own dark hole of personal projects, and have been just floored with what everyone has built, how fast, and how professionally. The Ethereum engineers all get looked at as drunk neckbeards most of the time, but holy hell, there's a lot of them, they're good at what they do, and they're producing some sexy bleeding edge stuff with their heads down mostly.

    Just want to hold up a glass and say cheers to all you magnificent bastards out there working on the Ethereum protocol, its clients, libraries, and dapps. You guys are pretty alright, I guess.

    IBM's flagship technology conference will include discussions around cryptocurrencies (and others around blockchain / crypto tech itself)

    Cryptocurrency related talks:

    Interesting talks around the tech:

    Looks like there are going to be a lot of interesting people attending / speaking at the tech event which will be great for adoption, not all these speakers will be talking about cryptocurrencies / blockchain however will be exposed to it at the conference:

    Error trying to synchronize geth clique client after shutdown

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 09:03 AM PST

    I'm working with a private network using geth clique clients. Each time a node shut downs, (after a power cut, or just killing the geth process), if a try to put it to work again, the node can't synchronize, shooting a runtime error:

    the only way I found for the node to keep running is to delete the database and have it downloaded again, which obviously is not the best option.

    Anyone having the same problem? How do you deal with this?

    Thoughts/recommendations on secure wallet storage devices/laptop/computer setups.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 12:00 PM PST

    Hello ethereum community! What are your thoughts or recommendations on securely storing wallets? What machine configurations (hardware/OS/brand/model) do you think are ideal for running a node? Right now I'm using an old Mac Pro for running go-ethereum. I haven't decided where to put my wallet so it is just sitting on an encrypted USB at the moment. I'm thinking of getting a raspberry pi and small display to make my own little dedicated wallet device, but I haven't fleshed that idea out. In the past I've kept my wallet and full node on a Dell XPS running Ubuntu on an encrypted drive.

    So please, community, share your thoughts and practices (or links to blog posts) here! Thanks!

    Trade-Offs with Federated Byzantine Agreement protocols (i.e. Stellar)?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2019 11:27 AM PST

    So far most other blockchains that claim to be scaleable sacrifice decentralization to do so (i.e. EOS). EOS has been written to death and I can easily google the trade-offs of DPoS vs. PoW vs. PoS.

    However what I can't seem to find is a good article that articulates the trade-offs made when using FBA (i.e stellar) vs.all the others. All I find are comments from the stellar reddit claiming that it is both more decentralized, scaleable and secure when compared to bitcoin and ethereum. This is because, they claim, that FBA allows nodes to select which validators they trust and create "quorums".

    Now i'm always a skeptic, and I see how Ethereum developers are working on increasing scaleability while minimizing impact on decentralization and security. If the problem was solved by the FBA approach clearly more projects would be adopting it. So can anyone tell me what trade-offs are made by running a FBA protocol?
