Hello, my name is Luis Egea. I’m new to smart contract development, and am hoping to gain more knowledge on this topic and much more from the community. I also hope I’ll be able to contribute as I’ve been studying blockchain for a couple years, but am relatively new to blockchain development.
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I heard about OpenZeppelin from a Dapp University coding tutorial video last year. I’m 100% committed to carving a career path for myself in this industry. I believe contributing to this community will help me gain valuable insight and experience to achieve that goal. More specifically, I’d like to level up my smart contract development skills.
If you have any feedback on the documentation let me know.
As an FYI, Crowdsales aren’t being migrated to OpenZeppelin Contracts 3.0 (using Solidity 0.6).
They are in OpenZeppelin Contracts 2.5 (using Solidity 0.5).
My name is Michael from NY, USA. I’m here to further learn about Solidity and grow my knowledge to bring me to a complete project and launching a Dapp & Token. My path on Solidity started by taking the #100DaysOfCode Challenge on Twitter. I’m on Day41. I was invited on the forum from a comment on my twitter page https://twitter.com/It0bsession/status/1243949171499053056?s=19. I heard about OpenZeppelin while looking for a new tutorial after completing a Udemy Course on Udemy. I’m expecting a welcoming group of people with a common mindset capabile of helping me and others to grow in their coding journey.
You would be very welcome to share your journey in a topic in the forum (I wish I had a record of my early days to look back on), see @Jshanks21My Coding Journey: Beginner to Pro
I’m a game developer, and I’m looking forward integrating ethereum with my games. I’m from Venezuela. I heard from OpenZeppelin from the guys at Ivan On Tech. Cheers!
Great to hear that you are looking to integrate Ethereum into your games. I am a huge fan of true digital ownership of digital assets using blockchain. A game first approach is a really good way to tackle this. The challenges are cost and speed of transactions, and abstracting the blockchain for users (but providing easy transparent access to blockchain information). In my previous life I worked on a blockchain gaming project.
Was it from a blog post or a video from Ivan on Tech that you heard about OpenZeppelin? (I did a quick search to see if I could find it).
I suggest having a look at the upcoming release of OpenZeppelin Contracts 3.0. The latest release candidate is: OpenZeppelin Contracts v3.0 final release candidate This has improvements for ERC721 such as automatic token URI.
Ivan on Tech has a blockchain developer course, and has an ethereum section, where they deploy a token, integrate it with a game (they use Phaser, I’m trying to make it work with Construct 3), and that’s where I heard about you.
I’m Jordan. I have a cat named Hamburger. We live in Manhattan (although this whole lockdown scenario has made the case for staying here very tenuous…).
I’m 100% new to Solidity and OpenZepplin, but I’ve been a full-stack developer for 20+ years (yeah, I’m old), a hodler since 2014, and a PROUD “investor” in SpankChain since the ICO (not super relevant, just trying to add some flavor).
I’m working on turning a failed startup (not adult based!) in to an NFT that, I believe, has much wider appeal and broader implications for everyone. A lofty statement, I know!
Thanks to @abcoathup for already answering some questions for me! Very much looking forward to pulling my hair out and cursing at the terminal.
I am in Melbourne Australia.
I’m in my late 40’s so in a mature/older age group.
I just watched the empty streets of Philly (thanks to DaringFireball: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2020/04/15/philly-quarantine).
It is definitely interesting times. Stay safe in NYC. In Melbourne we aren’t in lock down, we are allowed out for work, food, health care and exercise.
What made you make the leap to developing in Solidity now?
I am interested to know more about your NFT plans when you can share them. You can showcase with the community how you are using OpenZeppelin in the #general:showcase category.
My name is Sekh Motibul, I’m from West Bengal Birbhum (India) and I am a Lab technician. I want to learn how Ethereum blockchain works and how to deploy any smart contract on solidity, I have worked 3 years at IQ City Hospital. one year now learning about crypto specially Ethereum blockchain.
My name is Jaime, I’m a Software Engineer - I’ve been learning about blockchain and Ethereum for over year now and I hope to keep going for as long as I can. I love learning about new things, getting different perspectives and always enjoy a good challenge.
I’m from Spain but I’ve been living in London for a few months now, I’m currently working as a Junior dev for a London-based startup called Clearmatics, with a focus on blockchain and finance, and I’m also a moderator in the CryptoDevs community discord.
I’m here looking to learn as much as I can and hopefully help others on the way.
Thank you for being part of the community.
I really appreciate you answering questions and getting involved in discussions.
I think answering questions is a great way to learn.
I will take some time to read it, looks promising !
I actually never finished it, perhaps this is a good time to do so ! hahaha
Usually I like learning about all things Solidity // EVM - trying to get a grasp of best practices, tips and tricks , etc... so I usually spend a lot of time on github repos trying to understand what others are doing and why - There's a lot of EVM wizards in the community and it's always fun finding out about new and different ways of doing things.
I also try to answer questions in the CryptoDevs discord (and lately around here) whenever I find something where I can contribute and when I have some spare time, mainly to give back to the community.
I’m Hydris, a young smart-contract developer!
I evolved in the world of startups at LLL in Paris, a place of “tech with impact” innovation, where I supported tech startups, organised and led transformation workshops for major groups. In particular, I supported FORGE Capital Market (Société Générale) during the first bond issue on the public network Ethereum (€100 million) in 2019.
I’m now the CTO of QLAY, a startup based in Paris that aims to facilitate home ownership through micro-real estate and real estate tokenization.
Thank you @abcoathup for answering my few questions
I managed to get on the property ladder through a government shared ownership scheme where you were able to purchase a percentage of the property (through a mortgage) and paid rent on the remaining portion.
Using tokenization to provide access to partial property ownership and investment sounds great.
