Do you know of any projects which need data analytics/engineering expertise?
Even if it’s just optimizing SQL queries for an application, I can help. But analytics-focused engineering… I have not heard of or found much to contribute to in the Bitcoin world (outside say Mempool Space). Please lmk if you know of something.
nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9 fr I would love to contribute. But I don’t build applications, I do data pipelines/models/viz. I can learn app dev but if I’m gonna do open source I wanna start with something I’m good at.
Maybe https://bitview.space/?
I know CDK has database stuffs CC nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk
I'll think more on this
Have you looked into lightning?
This is an interesting talk on running Cashapp's LN node.
Talk starts at 5:35:20

Yes, good call. He is a big brain data guy, we’ve met a bunch of times at conferences. nostr:npub18yvpnchj7yaepjk8yz2pn66hfmmup505aqvx0lpyc3aree0g5fyq8clpz3 you hiring? 👀
Braidpool will need analytics work at some point. It's a P2P mining pool that coordinates hashrate futures between miners and risk takers.
Thanks, I am familiar with the project and got to talk with Bob about it at btc++
Let me know what you’re thinking in terms of analytics
We have loads of data nostr:nprofile1qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tck28qzu 👀
Oh yeah I’m sure you do! Any docs or area of the code I should check out? If you’re using any form of SQL database I could start looking for optimizations
Thanks this is cool! I had not seen this before.
At a glance it looks to be all application code, and uses a Bitcoin node as the “database”. But I’ll check it out further and hit up the dev 🤙
