I spent 5 months learning how to build with Aiken and Mesh. To celebrate main net contracts, here are some honest thoughts about what the process has been like building on Cardano.
The first month was rough. Jumping from JavaScript to Aiken was very difficult. I tried to read their docs and run their examples, but after a couple of weeks, it still hadn't clicked. The tutorials didn't always work out of the box, and the videos I could find felt incomplete. I felt dumb. I didn't even know what questions to ask.
I needed the Fireship or Wes Bos of Cardano, but all I found were Big Pey and Learn Cardano who, seem chill, but only frustrated me as they didn't write code with their guests. Google should have been serving me different content, but maybe it didn't exist..
#Blockchain based tools can play an important role in helping meet the @UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

@ArdanaProject had a young founder with no relevant experience & collapsed.
In the spirit of this, we are taking a deep dive into #Cardano project’s founders & core team. Our first is on Ken Olling, Founder and CEO of @MELD_Defi .

@SCATDAO@intel_honesty It'd be interesting to see the math on how the growth of the use of Bitcoin (i.e. more tx fees being paid with each block) could make mining profitable at not so astronomical a price of the underlying coin in the future.
@intel_honesty@SCATDAO Unpopular opinion:
If Bitcoin is to become a store of value instead of the currency it intended to be doesn't that make it more like a fiat currency?
If your tokens entire use case is “a store of value” then your token does nothing.
Have been seeing a few projects that claim this as a use case lately. You can make this claim about every single token minted on #Cardano. It is not unique and a project advertising it is a 🚩
@Jane14457995 Thanks for your insights. The classifications was to try and provide insight for people as to what was a failed idea (maybe it was unique) and what was an out-and-out scam.
Definitions definitely help.
Sounds like a time for an article explaining the different types of scams
@Jane14457995 It is not, yet... this is a test as our goal is to be community sourced information for the community.
We created this after we deleted Flickto, I've got multiple lists of scams and rug pulls to work through once I've finished researching and adding live projects.
@CalvinsBrew unfortunately malicious actors will always be a part of a decentralized ecosystem. The very nature of decentralization removing middlemen and checks on business/peoples makes it easier for these guys to maneuver without repercussion.
