Will you create a new weekly? :D
I've checked out kbin APIs but to be honest it was very sad.
Maybe we can automate the creation of the weekly.

Rust is not a good entry point for anything right now, I'd say, regardless of your experience level. Either you know you need / want Rust, or you shouldn't be touching it

instead, I recommend finding a small project that you're interested in and then familiarizing yourself with whatever it is that is being used in that project. If you have 0 experience then perhaps there's a 101 course somewhere for the language / frameworks being used in that project, that way you can apply what you've learned immediately in understanding the project you're interested in

Depends on where you come from, skill-wise:

• If you're more on the web development side, and want to interact with contracts and such, it's probably best to learn a library like ethers.js or viem, since it already uses JS/TS and you just have to learn the concepts of wallets/providers/transactions, etc.

• If you mean wanting to actually get involved with smart contract development itself, to me it depends if you have any other reason to learn Rust. Solidity is typically the most approachable route to go, especially with tools like Hardhat, but if you have plans to do other kinds of back-end development with Rust specifically, then it might make more sense to start there and learn.

I like to think so. Logically there's got to be an Ethereum community on Mastodon somewhere considering how large crypto Twitter was, but I've not found it yet.

it is a kind of self-reinforcing feel good feeling / statement, so whenever I feel something like that I try to remind myself that I'm not being objective. I guess that's where TA can help, if you can actually stay objective when doing TA

There's also https://wefwef.app/
I don't think it works for kbin yet, but it does for lemmy.

And it basically looks and feels like Apollo.

It's pretty decent in browser as a PWA. Then coming soon, you'll want to keep your eye on fast-moving app Artemis -- spiritual successor to Apollo, built for kbin/lemmy.

The dev is very active on her Mastodon.

I used https://redact.dev/ and it worked very well.

To make this work in a reduced trust, crypto friendly way, you would need some kind of mechanism to prove that the key the seller has is still valid and working with some kind of zero knowledge proof. Otherwise, it is just another web2 key market that takes crypto for payment.

steam pretty anti crypto/anti nft. It would be a risky move, they'd probably find a way to null anything sold in such a manner

I'll go where my friends (and content) go. Kbin and Lemmy are both very satisfying so far. As for Discord, I don't know if people are mad enough yet to bother. One civil war at a time. Otherwise, I've got my eyes on both Revolt and Comm in the future.

Like many others here, I’ve nuked 10+ years of Reddit posts and comments. I have not deleted my account, however, as I worry about Reddit resuscitating my posts against my will, as has happened to others.

I feel genuine sadness at turning the Reddit page, and removing Apollo from my device. I’ve learned a lot from Reddit, including much of what I know now about crypto. On the upside, I will take this as an opportunity to improve my daily habits by spending less time mindlessly doomscrolling, and being more cautious about the risk of doxxing. My contributions to the fediverse will also be more deliberate, meaningful, and targeted. And, I snatched a prized username!

I look forward to being part of this community.
