   I've extensively used just HTML, VanillaJS, React, Vue, Ruby on Rails and other web frameworks. Different horses for different courses, but I chose what I was most productive in, and that was VueJS and NodeJS. I recommend everyone does

   Personally I think it is ok to say that I am one of the people backing Dustin financially. The last project I backed in this space was Light Table/Eve who did some interesting work in the space. I think Dustin's work shows promise

   Correct. 95% of the work on a crypto project is just HTML, CSS, Javascript, and maybe NodeJS

   I’m working on a low core project that is already using content addressable source code that is stored in IPFS at https://github.com/yazz/yazz so it can be done

   Looks really cool! Do you use the CallStacking to Debug CallStacking?

   I actually wrote about how Bitcoin security would need banks and security guards back in 2015: "Another things that will push the price of Bitcoins up is the cost to store Bitcoin's will be very high, as Bitcoin storage companies

   I have watched it in Denmark too for many years. Until I read this article I had no idea that it is watched in other countries as well :)

   I'm in the process of making something like VB6 (yazz.com), but which is using Javascript instead of Basic for scripting. I would say that if you look at retool, bubble and many other low code tools then you will see that they are doin

    I use upvote so that I can see at a glance which comments I have read in a thread with alot of comments. It doesn''t matter whether I like the comment or not. I use it like an email "read email" flag, but "read comm

    Git is decentralised in the way that you can link together separate git instances, but the git repository itself is stored in a single file structure on your file system. What I am working on is where the repository itself is decentralised

    Loved this article! Yes, I think this accurately described 90% of my consulting engagements!

    I think signing things will become a lot more commonplace. At my workplace we sign code using Metamask to prove that someone made a commit. Allows us to build something like a decentralised Git

    Apologies from me. Ok, this should be fixed now. Our mistake. The PDF file was missing, ans not sure why this error was shown about the certificate.

    Yes, my own company Yazz is a blockchain company that is not a scam, building a software development tool that runs on the blockchain using crypto technologies. Code on github here: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

    I watched the video. The idea is quite good. I would skip all the talk and just demo the product to see if people like it... show , not tell!

    I agree, none of these companies are crypto companies, just centralised scams. In fact, this is not the end of crypto, but is exactly the opposite. This is the "real beginning" of crypto, as now the benefit of decentralisation and

    Because ftx was only crypto in name. In reality it had nothing to do with the blockchain, it was just a centralised company

    Yes it does work with JavaScript. At yazz that is exactly how we store is code, by the iPfs hash

    Sqlite is amazing! At yazz.com we have built a tool to build UI apps which use Sqlite as a back end, and then the apps compile to a HTML page which includes the Sqlite engine and the data, which works offline too. +100 for sqlite which make

    Quite funny. Did repl.it copy our logo at yazz.com or did we copy theirs?

    Yes, this is correct, we don't protest much in the West. When the government acts in a way that we don't agree with then we may protest a bit, as was the case before the Iraq invasion, but then after a few days/weeks we stop

    As someone who runs a crypto podcast I can confirm that many crypto podcasts are just the podcast host trying to pump up coins and then dump on their own audience!
