a place to engage in high quality discussions about smart contracts from the entire gamut of the crypto world, free of the inevitable investment/degenerate gambling talk and “this cryptocurency is better than cryptocurrency” in the context of relevant blockchains.

Let's make sure that we don’t lean too heavily on any one tech stack. As a decentralized community, we should be open-minded about these technologies without allowing our financial investments to cloud our judgement or dictate our behavior, myself included.

As the sole mod, I vow to be as objective as possible with my mod actions.

Rules

  1. Zero tolerance for moonboi, /r/WSB-style investment posts and comments. We can have conversations where we introduce and compare technologies using real-world technical specs and objective details but the second a conversation digresses into a holy war (Eth rules and Cardano drools!) investment/degenerate gambling talk, the mod(s) will intervene, remove offending comments, and/or ban.

  2. Posting referral, promo links, or codes of any kind is strictly prohibited and will be met with a long-term or permanent ban. This includes "PM for referral", asking for referral codes or links, and linking to sites used solely for referral links.

  3. Cite your sources where possible. (this is more of a polite suggestion to help keep the content high-quality)

  4. NO spam. We will carefully review your history and delete posts that seem to be spamming a hundred different communities with marketing jargon and unsubstantiated promises.

  5. Keep the drama to a minimum. I am not your parent and I don't want to have to ban people for immature, bad faith arguments and name-calling.

  6. If a project seems sloppily thrown together raises a red flag and/or seems to be a scam, don't be afraid to mention it...but PLEASE cite your reasons and try to show irrefutable evidence, lest you run into a violation of the rules. It's important for the community to call out projects with pump & dumps, rug pulls, and outright scam projects. Some past projects that could be considered in that list are: FTX, TerraLuna, BitConnect, OneCoin, Bitclub Network, Axie Infinity, Pincoin, Thodex, Mining Capital Coin, SQUID Token, Day of Defeat, Baller Apes, Frosties NFT Rug Pull, Evolved Apes NFT Rug Pull, Orfano Tokens, and The Ardana Project Rug Pull.

There will be MANY more rules added. But this is currently the start. It's a tough topic to moderate, so I would love some help here.

In this episode of #Unshielded: A Blockchain & Data Podcast by Midnight, host Anthony Day connects with Kevin Millikin, Principal Architect for Midnight.

Join them as they discuss:

👉 An under-the-hood look at Compact as a programming language 👉 Why Midnight needs its own language, and the importance of great developer experience. Kevin highlights the differences in working with Blockchain technology 👉 A live #demo of Compact language by showcasing the code for a bulletin board app 👉 Compact roadmap: Aligning more closely with TypeScript 👉 Why developers need to join the Midnight Discord channel 👉 The need to innovate in decentralized applications

Kevin Millikin is a seasoned software architect specializing in programming language design and implementation. Currently, at Midnight, he is instrumental in developing a cutting-edge data protection blockchain platform. This innovative platform leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to ensure secure computations while maintaining privacy. Kevin's work focuses on designing a domain-specific language (DSL) for smart contracts, creating a compiler targeting JavaScript, and developing a custom virtual machine runtime for on-chain computations. His expertise extends to building support libraries, developer tools, and the overall architecture that drives this privacy-focused blockchain solution.

Kevin has also worked at Google and Deep Mind and, while there, worked on an experimental Python optimizing JIT compiler using the CPython interpreter and runtime. This was open-sourced as S6 (https://github.com/google-deepmind/s6). He also worked on Alphabet-internal Python development tools, including Python static typing and static analysis of Python programs.

ENCOINS can be used as any other native asset on Cardano: they can be traded, gifted, or used in other DeFi protocols that support them. They can also be used in ENCOINS Ledger, our upcoming shielded accounts system.

Stablecoins are a tough puzzle to solve. This algo-stablecoin has been functioning without issue for more than 2 years now.
