get to know me through my tweets :) | currently into blockchain, corals, + learning new things 😙

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

@1tagupta @theprabj @_buildspace @_nightsweekends nah that's a great question! Coral bleaching is when coral reefs turn super white and start to starve. Why is this important? Corals act as buffers that protect us from tsunamis, hurricanes, and other weather-related storms. They also support 25% of marine but 50% are dead today

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

here's our team's toy version of CoralX (a disease outbreak detector) for s4 of buildspace

we've still got a long way to go but its a start.

#buildinpublic day 3
goal: build a humidity sensor

* wrote down code for Arduino by Mogsdad@Stackoverflow
* deciphered 50% code I wrote
* Arduino connects to Wi-Fi + sensor reads/stores humidity + temperature

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

@laibah_ahmed doing it hands on gives me an intention and purpose to learn how the sensor will work. In terms of obstacles, because I chose to start building over learning more first, if something goes wrong, I’m gonna struggle but > I’d be learning through failure!

#buildinpublic day 2!
Project goal: build IoT humidity sensor

* connected sensor to Arduino via jumper wires and breadboard. As well as a resistor to keep voltage in check!

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

What I understood:

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

Starting again! #buildinpublic day 1
Current project: making an IOT humidity sensor

goal for today: understand JavaScript code in Google Scripts originally written by Mogsdad@Stackoverflow

Takeaway: Code I wrote today records data from the sensor to a Google sheet.

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

Code I wrote!

#buildinpublic day 32
~ back to building! ✌️
~ added a create proposal function to my voting DAO code
~ wrote 2 eligibility functions to check if voters and vote proposal creators own DAO tokens in the 1st place giving them the right to participate
~ used @MoralisWeb3 tutorial

[Tally @tallyxyz]

SO PROUD to publish up and coming web3 rockstar @SharanaSabesan’s first Content Guild article “What’s wrong with Coin Voting?”

Sharana breaks down the challenges with coin voting and presents the @OptimismGov Citizen House as an alternative.

Made the nfts on Opensea’s test net version because I cant afford gas 💀

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 31
* made nfts for start of voting dao project
* voters can vote if they hold nft
* other than that, homework homework homework 😮‍💨

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 30✨
* learned abt hardhat -> dev env to test/debug your Ethereum software
* something interesting ����: tried reconnaissance -> discovering info abt a network connection to hack it. Dw I’m not hacking anything, just a cool assignment for a network security class

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 29
* fixed one logical error in banking contract so that interest along with a user’s balance in the user’s bank account is accurately added to the total contract balance 🎉
* learned about soulbound NFTs aka non-transferrable NFTs.

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 28 😙
~ helped debug a friend’s code for a flower store in OOP
~ learned abt limited governance, limiting what users can vote on to combat again bad actors in protocols which use coin voting. Ex: limiting users from voting abt infrastructure of protocol

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

Quick definition of coin voting: the coins you have = votes

Wealthy users of a protocol are more likely to value the goal of making a coin’s price go ⬆️,while other users have different goals and visions which are unfulfilled bc of their lack of wealth in a protocol!

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 27 🤌

something new I learned was more cons of coin voting in DAOs:

~ vote bribery is common in protocols which use coin voting
~ coin voting favors coin holders, especially wealthy ones rather than other users who have a diff vision.

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 26
* added a withdraw function to bank contract, so users can withdraw money from their accounts on Remix IDE....but I got an error 😭
* still a total amateur in Solidity, but I'm getting better!

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 25 💪

~ added a function to my banking contract which allows users to find the balance of a specific user(using their user address) and adds an interest to the $$$ deposited by the user with the help of @questbookapp’s tutorial!
~ interest = 0.07%

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

Retroactive public good funding is funding a blockchain project that does good for a protocol’s community (similar to how a bridge is a public good since it serves the community of people who live in the area) after it has been created and has made positive impact!

[Sharana Sabesan @SharanaSabesan]

#buildinpublic day 24
* coded a bank contract which adds money to a user’s account and returns the contract balance on Remix IDE w/ @questbookapp.
* learned abt retroactive public good funding 🧵👇
