hello github!

• I am flarnrules

• I am building a blockchain ecosystem called Flarnchain

• This task, which I started in February 2021... is a fairly complex task.

• There are elements of almost every single facet of the human experience involved in designing and working towards the deployment of a unique blockchain ecosystem.

• Blockchains, at least in the Cosmos Network, are "Replicated State Machines", which are esssentially these sort of nebulous unkillable operating systems.

• They exist as full, Turing complete, operating systems - that are open to the public.

• When I think of an operating system, the first few words that come to mind are: Windows, MacOS, and Linux. These are operating systems.

  • To use operating systems, we need to have a computer.
  • A computer is a 'state machine'
  • Some computers, like the machine that I'm using right now, are physical things. They exist in the reality where we can reach out and touch them.
  • Other computers, like Virtual Machines or VMs can exist inside our computers.
  • Cloud VMs exist inside other people's computers, but can run an instance on our machine.
  • Like remotely piloting a drone, but for a computer!
  • Replicated State Machines, exist on multiple computers... simultaneously.
  • Like a cluster (which is essentially multiple cloud VMs).
  • But different from a cluster (A single entity is in charge of this group of VMs)
  • A Replicated State Machine is controlled by multiple agents, each with their own incentives.
  • The software level of a Replicated State Machine is updated based on a collective... group of decision makers, where the ability to be one of those decision makers is 100% permissionless, resulting in a sort of pvp combined with pve game theory.

• I am learning web design and trying to learn software development

• I'm currently in the W3 Builder's Alliance Q1 2023 cohort. // did not complete my capstone project "Sentry Nodes" but learned a lot, and progressed "Sentry Nodes" along significantly.

• Learning smart contracts in Rust // have not written any smart contracts, in Rust, but I have devised a few ideas!

• Learning Rust, CosmWasm // these are two totally different things. Rust is a systems programming language. CosmWasm is a framework for cosmos SDK based blockchain smart contracts, that use webassembly for deployment on blockchains. Even that is not quite correct.

• Realizing that

Current learning path:

• Harvard CS50x (computer science ~ general)
• The Odin Project (web development)
• Web3 Builder's Alliance Q1 2023 cohort (smart contracts written in Rust)

Current education books:

• Learn Python in one day and LEARN IT WELL (50% complete)
• The Rust Programming Language (10% complete)
• Invent Your Own Computer Games With Python (0% complete)

Websites:

• https://www.flarnchain.com -> built with Wix.
• https://flarnrules.github.io/odin-recipes/ -> built from scratch with HTML only.

Setup:

• Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 11
• Running Ubuntu, using Windows terminal as base terminal and BASH for CLI
• VS Code for text editing
• Learning VIM / Neovim

Newsletter:

• The Flarnchain Newsletter
