    Ethereum Looking for some tips for a beginner dapp developer

    Looking for some tips for a beginner dapp developer

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 07:16 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I've been working as a Web Developer for the last ~3 years and recentlly I decided to learn smart contracts development in Solidity. I've been playing around with it a little bit since and I think I already get the basics, so in order to test my skills and gain some traction I decided to start developing a simple Web Dapp (a game).

    A few questions appeared in my head, so if you can help me with any of those, I'll be really glad:

    ​

    1. Is there some sort of an online community specifically for guys like me, who start their adventure with dapps development, where I could get some tips, learn more about best practices etc. (preferably the one that's kind of alive)
    2. How would I go about "marketing" my dapp, would it be ok to post about it here or will it be cosidered kind of spammy and there are some better places for it?
    3. Kind of related to question 2: How would you describe in general the current attitude of the ethereum community towards those kind of simple, "indie" dapps? Are people still excited to try them out, or is there so many of them out there that people are more like "Cool, another shitty dapp noone will use" and generally couldn't care less, unless it's something really outstanding.

    I ask all of this because there seems to be an incomparable amout of development going on around Ethereum in relation to any other cryptocurrency. I've been spending most of my time following Bitcoin (since 2015) and then Bitcoin Cash, so I can tell that BCH community seems to be quite enthusiastic about any project involving BCH, whereas ETH at first glance seems to be in quite a different "phase", experiencing rather the shortage of users than developers.

    Anyway, I'm planning to go forward with my little dapp regardless, since I'm mostly doing it to learn, but I would really like to know your opinion ;)

    Trying to figure out why ProgPow is being pushed again

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 03:01 AM PST

    There is a huge debate on ProgPow (again) on Twitter, I'm just trying to figure out who is pushing for it, and why they think it's not a contentious fork.

    Lots of community members including myself, a 2015 investor, are wondering why ProgPow is being pushed despite the contention.

    I'm open to changing my mind about it.

    I've heard mostly negative sentiment regarding pushing ProgPow and mainly concerned about a potential chain split, is there a resource/article summarizing the benefits of ProgPow?

    Anywhere to discuss and learn about NFT trading?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 07:05 PM PST

    I've been struggling to find anywhere, either a sub, discord, forum, anything that is focused on nfts and nft trading. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Also anything targeted specifically at discussing ethereum based games would also be great.

    The curious case of ProgPow "contention"

    Posted: 22 Feb 2020 12:53 PM PST

    So the ProgPow buzz is exploding again in this sub with everyone having a panic attack because we're supposedly going along with this EIP.

    "Oh no! We cannot proceed! This is a contentious change that will split the chain!" -average comment

    But what makes this contentious? Really.

    Nobody is able to articulate a real reason other then repeating that contentious word, as if it that word alone was the explanation.

    Can we dig deeper?

    Disclaimer: I mine ETH with GPUs. And I'll stake ETH on POS.

    The ethereum whitepaper specifically mentions "poisoning the well" should ASICs be discovered. Meaning, a mining algorithm tweak/change to disrupt ASICs.

    We have both Bitmain and Lindhzi that have publicly announced/sold Ethash ASICs.

    Thus we now have a situation that satisfies the whitepaper intent and a mining algorithm change can be considered.

    Sounds straightforward enough, only that it's not.

    The ProgPow code is ready for over two years now and we've suffered endless delays and roadblocks regarding its implementation.

    I don't understand why the people against it are against.

    Various demands have been made to validate the code, security, etc. And the audits have all been successful.

    What else is the blocker today?

    It seems to me that the initial anti-ProgPow propaganda of ASIC manufacturers last year has sipped into the minds of people to the point that all they remember is the word contention. But can't articulate what makes it contentious.

    It's a very peculiar state to be in.

    If the ASIC influencers were able to steer the narrative in such a way for just an algorithm change, what will happen when Ethereum's POS will be ready?

    Will those ASIC lobbies just gracefully shut down their ASICs and go home? Don't think so. They'll wage a FUD war on POS to extend POW and sabotage POS because of the millions of dollars invested in their purpose built devices.

    By being against ProgPow today, you guys are potentially making the transition to POS down the road that much harder.

    And if, as some say, there's really no ASIC threat today, then great! Let's implement ProgPow as a deterrent, all miners will happily follow the new chain and there's absolutely no possible reason for a chain split. You do remember that block vote of last year where all new blocks had the yes vote for ProgPow right?
