red flags on abundance and meditation
focus on stuff that actually heals you and makes you valuable to someone in the short term (by which i mean next 5 years)
maybe you need to learn javascript, maybe you need to learn cloud deployment, or CI/CD devops stuff, maybe you need to drill down on your database skills for writing, idk, graphql queries or heaven forefend, something horrible like building custom key value store indexes
Ok, so meditating isn't going to cut the paycheck. You aren't one of those" 0.1 BTC and you're set" kinda folks :-D how much would it take tho to retire myself into non productivity?
I'm Looking up ci/CD, graphQL and custom key value store indexes.
I dislike JavaScript, is python still a good skill?
what would replace Oracle and Pl/SQL in some decentralized future
idk, but if you are a database programmer you probably could make a lot of money writing smart contracts, because that's all they are, database scripts
I thought smart contracts were a nothing burger. ? As many times we find bugs in database procedures, I can't imagine having them just ossified in block somewhere
yep, that's the one! they can be upgraded though
but seriously, your skills will be most directly applicable to that, as regards to "what is the most lucrative way i can deploy my current skills?"
i can't stand that shit, it makes my nerves jangle that people don't understand that it's like, less than embedded computing, doesn't even have the fun feature of cool stuff like rendering graphics or doing realtime network chatter or anything, it's like, gah, this stuff
but really, if db scripts are your thing, you can make bank writing smart contracts, i work with a vietnamese dude who is doing Move SCs and he built a javascript based interface to the SCs that runs a simple data store that replicates the blockchain data
and he is puzzled why my job is writing a Go server to replicate his data, but i've been trying to explain "this is (N-1)N complexity to compare all the records in the database" and i think they are starting to understand why i don't give a fuck about their stupid low powered database scripting engines and shitty interpreted languages
Move SCs...giving me a lot to look thru and learn about. Thank you.
Just a basic question is, my understanding was that Bitcoin was designed to be non turing complete in order to limit the error possibilities. So this Move SC is quite potentially going to seriously mess up at some point. At which point the parties involved will just have to settle legally (refund accidental transmission of funds etc). So it's kinda back to just having a bank running a procedure with plenty of legal guarantees and insurance etc.
.... Maybe these are obvious questions. I'm going to have to read more about this
yeah, Move is definitely better than solidity and has strong enforcement of correctness, especially the Sui implementation
and yes, these things are generally too powerful for what they really do, sui Move is probably the most sane one i have seen so far, it even has a base logic for algorithm correctness, idk what they call it "proving" some retarded analytical shit that can't possibly be used for anything more complicated than a retarded database script
you can probably win more money by learning solidity than Move but Move is by far a better one to work with and you will have less psychotic loons telling you what to do with it
idk! shitcoins, i hate them, and i especially hate how all this "fancy shit" is actually like, basically a step backwards and they pimp it like it's the future
it's not the future, and what i do with Go is 1000x more advanced shit than they do but never mind these clowns
no coincidence that the major preferred language base for all this shit is Rust
literally, they say "woo rust is so much better for servers" and then deploy them on database script DSLs and pretend that is consistent
it makes me sad
So this isn't used in Taproot then
no, as far as it goes with taproot, all they have is some vague specification of "tweaks" that let you associate, from the server (smart contract) side that various addresses are connected to the same "contract address" while hiding that fact from the network
from a cryptographic perspective, they are literally just an on-chain HD wallet scheme, there's nothing more to it, it's precisely the same, address + arbitrary string, hash, and voila, new public key that can't be seen as linked to the old one... so it gives you many "slots" to accept payments from the same base and your server can scan the mempool by iterating the allowed "tweak values"
literally just the same shit as HD keychains, which is like 201 5 technology, and actually the theoretical principle dates back way further than that, and yeah while i'm talking about AI, the principle behind AI symbol graphs is literally exactly a form of hash tweak shit like taproot addresses, that they call "proximity hash" and they use different bit scrambling algorithms to achieve the actual "proximity" between two similar inputs
