CS

Further more, their CS on Reddit has indirectly implied to many user's complaints with the likes of: "Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you lost your funds...." Talk about spitting in it's user's faces.

A Computer Science degree will open up more opportunities for you. Just be sure to build projects in your spare time to learn more specific skills. For example, there are a lot of blockchain tutorials on YouTube. A CS degree alone won't teach you how to program apps. It will teach you the fundamentals of CS, which is still valuable when becoming a developer. And look for courses & groups at your Uni focussed on your areas of interest.

excubitor15379

U new to the planet Earth? Nah, CS is still here with all bailouts needed

WineglassConnisseur

Yo, exactly this. I was a newly libertarian CS major calling for a return to the gold standard in 2011, and I STILL wasn’t orange pilled after hearing about and digging into Bitcoin. So I completely empathize when people I know just don’t get it.

> The only way play-to-earn becomes the norm is for devs to make a game that folks would play whether earning was a factor or not. Something akin to Rocket League or Fortnite but enables trading of limited run cosmetics. Devs collect royalties on trades between players and can also continue with their micro transactions. From the player perspective, this permits micro transactions to be potential investments rather than just sunk cost. So CS:GO, which already exists.

code_x_7777

Haha, yeah sure plz send all mistakes. Aren't we all morons? So don't hesitate to send any corrections you may have. Not sure what you mean with the "nonce" comment - in CS speak it's "Number used only once"...

imabritcat

The scariest thing about ChatGPT is how it convincingly lies as if to try and save face. With coding you actually have to know a lot to tell when it is making something up. And it will still lie when confronted in an endless loop. Uses outdated documention to recommend deprecated features and even makes pseudo code gibberish with fake functions and properties. I imagine in it's current state it would be a massive liability to use in anything but personal experiments. As CS it would give nonsense solutions or actions beyond it's authorisation, even if you constrain it.

Direct_Ad_9459

Mexc has done great with the volumes they generate and also with the project they list before any other cex. My experience has been good and believe that others have been also. If a user's funds are locked, then they should contact the CS.

redrocketman74

CS outdated in a heartbeat? I got my CS degree 25 years ago and there's about an 80% overlap with what's being taught today.

redrocketman74

CS

Zap1324

For development definitely the CS side

blueriverbear23

Born fields get so outdated in heartbeat that probably CS makes the most sense as a foundation.

Wowfan121231

Yeah block them.. they scan your comments for personal data in impersonation in front of CS on exchanges

This is so wrong on multiple levels. I regularly see “seasoned” crypto people getting drained and rugpulled. Just recently, there is a newly launched ETH shitcoin executed a honeypot attack. If you had used all the standard tools for honeypot risk, they wouldn’t have picked it up because the execution was well hidden in the code. You literally need to able to read solidity code to understand the threat. This is a general problem with crypto. There are too many novel malwares out there waiting to get you. And all your standard tools, especially MetaMask, are useless. So vets who know how to use tools can’t escape them. The only way to eliminate the risk is to stop using smart contract completely. If you do that, wtf is the point of a smart contract L1? Bottom line, OP is dead wrong. Crypto scams abuse the fact crypto devs make unfriendly UIs, especially those on ETH where most scam happens anyway, and there are very few tools for a non-CS geek to protect themselves, i.e. not anti-virus softwares like you have in Web 2.

Imho, the next step is standardization. Being able to buy an NFT on one site and then use the connected piece of work on multiple sites, f.e. as avatars. I also think on-chain-NFTs will become more common, where NFTs aren't the links to private servers storing the assets, but where the asset itself is stored on the blockchain. We will probably see a decline in jpg-NFTs and hopefully an increase in new types of NFTs for avatars, Player-Characters for games, maybe even CS:GO type weapon skins that can be applied in multiple games... But generally speaking, I'd expect more standardization and more functionality being added, with price speculation moving more into the background (even if they will always play a role in NFTs)

JazzlikeRace2765

In addition, Binance confirmed the transactions can be linked to two Binance accounts. It’s up to the justice department to take action with this evidence and contact Binance to receive information on those accounts. When I contacted the Binance CS, they couldn’t confirm or deny if those accounts were verified however.

Florian995

A few examples of games that make 90-100% of their revenue through skin sales or similar: \- League of Legends \- CS:GO \- Fortnite ​ Just one of those making those skins NFTs would bring millions of people to crypto

LivingFondant1419

They have great customer service, but are still a business for profit first and foremost. We shouldnt forget that. Also yes CS is good but its not hard to beat the competition is it, CB and Binance are unreachable at the best of times.

AdministrativeRent67

I am a CS student and i would like to ask: * What if a crypto coin get listed as a scam from manipulation of votes but it's not? * How can the system ensure that the information that is listed, corresponds 100% to the reality? Thank you for creating this project, might be very useful to someone who is a newbie.

TheCryptoAccountant1

its not the same one is passive, and the other is not start with "mastering Bitcoin" and then "Mastering the Lighting network" It may be difficult to understand if you don't have a CS background. don't try to run a ln node for money unless you have 250k plus still not worth it. Stack sats and learn learn learn.... your time devoted to yourself right now is more valuable than anything

OMFGROFLMAO2

What's up with all these bankrupt companies wanting to come back lately? Lol, CEL, FTX, BlockFi, now CS, they all want back in. I guess the bump from $16k to $27k changed the panorama.

WimbleWimble

Don't slurp Metamask's buttcheeks. instead try CLICKING THE LINK OP PROVIDED TO METAMASK'S OWN T&CS on their own freaking website. sheesh

SmackAttackLondon

Awesome to hear their CS is decent, I'll get on to them later today

StockTrix

NO. it would NIOT be helpful as podcasts are closed source, 1-way feedback. How would a newbie know what podcast is legit and in their interest? Would you like your grandmother to randomly come across one podcast and then start investing her life savings on what that podcast advised? The fact that you say ***''there will be no shills''*** says it all really. It's equivalent to CS saying: @*'don' worry - funds r safu'.* No, the **ONLY** way to be helpful, is to put content on independent shared mediums, (like this public sub). That way we can all scrutinise the informations's legitimacy.

BredeSkapstroppen

All it takes is ONE good title combined with seamless crypto/nft integration. Think of fortnite or CS being released with NFT based skins! One such hit title is all it will take to tip the scales. Epic is already sniffing around it, and Valve would flip as soon as they saw they were loosing out. Just Hype today - mainstream tomorrow.

DavLithium

CS counter offensive in blockchain might be all the rage. *pun intended

CoolioMcCool

CS skins are already sold between players on steam marketplace. Valve take a cut, but they could with NFTs also. My argument would more be that I don't see the benefit of decentralizing something like that when we would still be relying on Valve(in this example) keeping steam and CS servers running anyway, so it just seems more efficient for them to also be running the market.

GaRGa77

CS is brand new compared to DOOM 🤣

benhammy

This is actually the opposite of what I advise people to do. The whitepaper very succinctly identifies the problems and lays out the foundational solution with Bitcoin, but it’s written for a particular audience of people who have been trying to solve these problems at a technical level. The target audience is certainly not the average person. If it’s someone with a CS background, sure. Check out the whitepaper for a summary straight from the source. For everyone else, I’d recommend The Bitcoin Standard, 21 Lessons, and The price of tomorrow, and a whole bunch of YouTube/podcast interviews before I’d assume someone would have the mental framework to make sense of what’s talked about in the whitepaper.

Nuewim

Yeah, some people pay crazy money for items in Fortnite, CS or other simmilar games. I personally never understood it, cause if I play CS it is just to play, color of my gun or knife doesn't matter, but still to many people do. Making such items NFTs would be huge thing and possibly very profitable.

Irondiy

Based on the OP I would say arrogance is a big part of it too. I am just glad I never trusted the device. So many colleagues of mine recommended it to me, and my CS background just told me this is too good to be true. You can't beat some regular hard drives/USB sticks. Makes life slightly more difficult but at least I know there's nothing I can't trust on the drive.

Direct_Ad_9459

A friend said the same thing about Kraken, but I think Mexc CS is also efficient and responsive as well, at least for the times I have contacted them.

wezrule

>not examples of games using them The whole point is that it's not just limited and constrained to the game itself, that's what makes it better. >I also already explained that many of these things can be done in traditional games without problems You clearly aren't a game dev like me then because they can't, that's the whole point you are missing! NFTs are decoupled from the game itself and allow this interopability using these defined ERC721/ERC1155 standards. >If you want a game with sellable/buyable skins just do what CS:GO currently does. Do you understand what reinvent the wheel means? Do you think this feature comes from the sky and magically into the games I make?

amplidud

>Yes I've mentioned marketplaces, P2P direct trading, lending & fractionalising and many more too. but these are just claims as to what makes NFT games better. not examples of games using them to make them better than games that dont. I also already explained that many of these things can be done in traditional games without problems. if there were you would not be able to buy/sell CS:GO skins or lend people items in Runescape or people cards in hearthstone for afew examples. >These are all things people have built which utilise existing NFTs. do you have examples of games THAT YOU THINK ARE GOOD (since it needs to be said apparently) that do this? I have not seen any... >So any company using NFTs gets this out the box, without a) having to reinvent the wheel right now you dont need to reinvent the wheel. if you want a game with sellable/buyable skins just do what CS:GO currently does. >b) are interoperable with a decentralized ecosystem. unless you can show examples of NFT games doing this you dont have it in NFT gaming either... and its not clear that this is a good thing. Like in this space where you can always buy/sell the thing people will gravitate to doing the thing most efficiently not the most funnly (to make up a word).

PenaltyFickle5699

Damn. Too bad i never played CSGO because i liked the nostalgia of CS 1.6.

virginia669

You’re not getting your grubby paws on which CEX I use. Low fees and super CS and lightning fast on/off ramps. 🤪

>The Fed then finds purchaser banks to take over the defunct bank and a temporary bank is used to bridge matters, all paid for with premium funds. The solution can't be to have big banks keep on buying these smaller banks. Its part of what creates systemic instability: https://academic.oup.com/book/32692/chapter-abstract/270956851?redirectedFrom=fulltext However, it is true though that big banks in the US are much more regulated after 2008. However, Switzerland is much in trouble with their ubs and CS merger. >So name a blockchain that is part of such a backup scheme. Give an URL for the description of the standard of behavior. All I see is a completely blank field with zero participation. I would love to be wrong. So name a chain that uses this sort of facility. Afaik most blockchains don't have this goal in the first place. The big ones are more safe because of their large community and number of diverse stakers/miners. The goal of some Crypto L1s is to bootstrap themselves without external institutions to be **credibly neutral**. If this isn't important, then half of the value proposal of blockchains don't apply and you use a different way.

Maniacal-Maniac

Yeah had no idea till I looked at the price the buy was at and saw it hadn’t been that low for a month. Contacted CS and they said “it’s the spread” and then sent me a link to an FAQ on their site that didn’t mention the word spread at all. These days I just buy myself and usually on other exchanges now as I was only using the convenience - but that convenience isn’t worth that extra cost.

MichaelAischmann

Consolidation in the banking sector is coming. CS & UBS, now this... It's a wonder that we have so many players with the same product/business model anyhow.

Nutcase420

Thanks for your work OP, one of my friends lost some usdt on a romance scam. It was a year ago. I tried to do some tracing but the money ended up going to OKEX exchange which probably was a no kyc one. I got in touch with binance ( where my friend’s initial crypto came from) and okex’s CS and the response was “ we can work with authorities, go and make a scam report there”. I am wondering how much power do these authorities have, when it comes to offshore exchanges?

Tirednao

True, company info is mostly just self press releases, so the data get's trained on bias positive descriptions of the 'project', and if they use it as CS, it gets trained and retrained with it

Bunker_Beans

Yup. This is why I’m still using CS6.

gorfnu

Hmm i decided to go stocks also and my speculative portfolio is down like 40%. Tesla, carvana, bbby, CS... rode em all down baby! its my special talent.

furbess

Reddit avatars are the perfect example of what gaming NFTs should be. You don't have to know it's an NFT to use the functionality in reddit and you don't have to be well versed in technology. If you want to get into the secondary market and sell it on OpenSea you can. Think about skins in CS or an equivalent game. The marketplace is already huge and this would provide a more contractual approach that's safer. Ultimately it's important that it's "game first" and not focused on the blockchain aspect. Eventually games will have digital ownership and marketplaces and you won't even know it's on a blockchain unless you choose to.

parsnipofdoom

You’re right I didn’t read your drivel you posted, because I know better. Having your shares in street name is no risk during broker bankruptcy, in fact it’s the opposite and they’re the first to get serviced. Not to mention Securities held in street name are covered by up to $500,000 in SIPC insurance. FTDs are again a non issue, the shares in your account are real and yours. And they will always trade as such. Having your shares on a transfer agent also doesn’t protect against broker trading freezes as CS has to trade through a broker themselves. Fidelity has over 4T AUM, I have every confidence we will be just fine. I had no trouble trading my GME shares during the robinhood halt. It also does nothing to disrupt dark pools 😂 that one’s actually pretty funny, it shows you fundamentally don’t understand what’s going on here. So once again DRSing your shares does nothing for you and has very real drawbacks including your transfer agent not having the same trading infrastructure an outfit like Fidelity has. And you own your shares on a broker, and that’s been codified in well established law that’s been tested many times. You got nothing man.. go back to super stupid where this works because you ban anyone that speaks out against it 😂

Toxcito

Your choices are to either be technically savvy enough to figure out how to use the built in scripts like OP_CLTV or OP_CSV, or be wealthy enough (and have enough BTC) to need to establish a third party trust as part of your multisig process that will only allow you access to their key during certain hours/days or at a certain point in time. I've used both methods. It was honestly a pain in the ass figuring out how to do the former method because I have very little CS experience and it seemed easy to fuck up. Basically you sign a transaction with a script that establishes a maturity date for your coins and they cannot be spent until that time (time being measured in blocks). I'm sure someone sooner than later will figure out how to automate this process. AFAIK there was a website that did this back in 2015 when OP_CLTV was first added but I don't know the name or if it's still around or anything, might be worth looking into. I just did it myself to try and understand what the hell was going on. I'm a complete pleb on the technical side of things.

Invest0rnoob1

It’s a bunch of CS grads who think they’re geniuses and repeat the same mantras on why bitcoin and crypto are worthless.

Damgalnuna000

Nothing on chit chatting for moons. If CS got involved that's a diff matter

climbinout

"Why don't they ask me about my hyper specific CS doctorate studies? I fucking hate people."

Sonmi451--

That's a good point. I just think an understanding of some of the core CS concepts in Bitcoin helps \[a little bit\].

Hank___Scorpio

People in tech, CS and IT seem to have the hardest emotional hurdle in swallowing that bitcoin isn't a joke. Imagine you work an IT help desk. You're the guy that has to tell people "did you try turning it off and on again" to seemingly intelligent people. When it comes to technology they feel like God's amongst insects. If they didn't get in, or know about a technology early, it must be stupid. People in computer science and programming have a hard time swallowing bitcoin because they think they're expertise applies. Bitcoins value proposition is rooted in deeply abstract concepts. They think it belongs in their domain and it simply doesn't. Getting over your own ego when you have to admit you just got something wrong you probably shouldn't have is why some of the most vitriolic criticism comes from the aforementioned types.

redderper

> You write code grunt work, and that’s your life. These are things people say that think your job is your life. There are actually a lot of things in life that are vastly more important than a bunch of nerds' opinion of your advanced mathematical CS skills.

redderper

Unfortunately there are a lot of arrogant people in the CS space who think that because they're good programmers they know everything about every aspect of CS and even about stuff outside of that field.

Cortexan

If they studied CS they should at least be somewhat aware that cryptography is a huge sector of the field and that btc isn’t at all a stupid idea.

kimsabok

perhaps, but even in the example that you have provided, a CS background's value is extremely limited in most case imo. despite what you claim, i doubt (at least for most cs people), that it is their cs knowledge that gives them comfort and trust in the network security. for most, including cs people, it is the network effect, and importantly, trust in others and the information they are sharing, that ultimately gives them the belief that the network is secure and wont be hacked.

ludawg329

PhD in CS, enough said…

Sonmi451--

I would have understood the purpose of Bitcoin without a CS degree. But I wouldn't have trusted the network. I would have thought it would get 'hacked'.

strings___

I think the buttcoiners in the context of academia stems from the influence of group think. Often times what I get from other CS types at-least the younger ones. Is the argument that block chains make a terrible database. Which is a correct assessment given the right context. They are not understanding that merkle trees AKA a block-chain is not meant to serve as a database. but they serve as a self verifying data structure.

Ankzar11

Having a CS degree does help A LOT to understand what Bitcoin is. If you understand cryptography you understand Bitcoin better. That doesn't make you less of an asshole, though.

ymo

If what you're saying is true then CS is nothing more than an advanced coding degree, now. Removing the sci from comp sci. That's sad.

Quantris

FYI one could easily be a CS doctoral student and be useless with computers.

nimtiazm

A CS PhD calling it a *dumb idea* would make me question the very PhD. Bitcoin is a brilliant piece of distributed system engineering. A wonderful byzantine fault tolerant system. There aren’t many such systems that have survived the test of time. You might not be happy with some people baffled by the fud and frenzy surrounding it. But isn’t it a very testimony of such a large scale system that actually matters and has a meaningful impact?

Quantris

"doing my Ph.D." means he/she is hoping to get that. They're just a student at this point. Describing themselves as "someone with expertise in computers" should tell you all you need to know... CS is a broad field with plenty of areas that have negligible overlap with Bitcoin, blockchains, cryptography, networks, etc. A Ph.D. is going to be hyper-focused on a small slice of said field.

BuscadorDaVerdade

There are 2 sides to understanding Bitcoin: 1. What it is / what it does 2. How it works 'under the hood' For 2. you need some CS knowledge (even if it's self-taught) and I would say it's necessary for trustless conviction. Without CS knowledge you have to trust the people who say what it is / does is true. CS knowledge allows you to verify it for yourself. There is a fine line between the two and the distinction is not black/white, but something of a spectrum. E.g. understanding counting / combinatorics (for which you don't need a CS degree, but anything math-related helps) allows you to understand the entropy behind seed phrases and why it's hard to guess someone's private key. But you can get as deep as you want into the technical details and even verify the code.

BuscadorDaVerdade

It's a matter of what one specializes in. I was a CS master too, but didn't get into Bitcoin until late 2020. Understanding economy and the monetary side AND the tech is a good combination.

EkariKeimei

With CS this doesn't explain his extreme disregard for *blockchain*. Lemme try to strengthen his case: 'blockchain' is such an innovation that affects many fields and applications of tech, that it can become a fad that CS grads who specialize in blockchain implementations can get jobs and grant funding for vaporware. That is infuriating. Other buzzwords in the last decade: ontology, machine learning, and IoT. For those interested in a vaporware coin, check out Ontology (ONT). I am doing a PhD in ontology (philosophy), so I get the frustration of people using a term about a concept without understanding how to implement the concept. All that said, a PhD should be able to appreciate blockchain, even if there are these buzzwords and bad actors. I don't understand why he writes both off just because he isn't into BTC

Reginald-Gray

From a CS perspective Bitcoin is interesting in how simplistic it is. At face value it's really nothing special outside of a hashed linked list of transactions (blocks) that is shared on a p2p network - common data structures in computer science. The interesting part is the proof of work that essentially incentivises peers to keep this linked list active by providing them with created coins. This is all put together in an efficient manner and with some virality makes it great. Of course the curve mathematics is quite cool too.

BlazingJava

A lot of people in CS have a lot of money and don't have the problems others do which is inflation bites harder, then there's others in CS that know CS and decided to learn a bit more about finance. Funny thing is everyone complains about inflation, it's just some people continue to trust the same system that lost 90% value in 52 years

TheBlockChainVillage

i always thought people from CS and Engineering backgrounds would always 100% be on board but that isn't the case. i've met students doing a PHD in Mathematics and when i asked their views on cryptography, Bitcoin and crypto in general, they had no clue and weren't the slightest bit interested.

Smiling_Jack_

Where's the option for CS GO skins?

big_k88

Banning PFOF. Implementation of an auction to fulfill orders at best execution price. These are the big ones. Institutions like Citadel Securities pay tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to brokers to get orders routed to them to be filled. They also have an advantage of receiving market data faster than anyone else (check out the book Flyboys if interested). Market makers use this system to scalp and front run trades to make big money. Internalization of fulfillment means they control when to let the trades hit the market. I assume you can put together what they can do with this type of setup. Oh yeah...CS is the world's biggest market maker, has a hedge fund arm, and plenty other investment companies. A little conflict of interest if you ask me. Bernie Madoff 2.0 on steroids of this comes crashing down...these new rules might be a catalyst to their downfall.

DesignerAccount

Jack of all trades, master of none. I don't want to be insulting, it's just what comes to mind reading the above. My suggestion, try focusing. Knowing the basics of JavaScript and React is worth next to nothing in a market full of CS graduates knowing both, and more, MUCH better. Create a web page where you showcase your knowledge and perhaps use your languages in. Not sure how, maybe translate everything in those languages? Then put the project on resume. Languages are also location dependant. Knowing Spanish in America is not very hot, but maybe in China it is, with their increased trade with LatAm. So think about moving to where your languages are not all that common, yet needed. Hope that helps!

RawLizard

Spectator mode has been a thing since CS1.1 though. Nothing here is new.
