Thank you for spending the time to look at this. I really appreciate. You are right. I think I need to change the wording I don't really mean crowdsource. I just mean to share with your friends / followers to invite to participate. It's just a fun one off thing. I am just wondering if there is some viral DNA in this
This was done using electron-vue. Yes I use both http API and websockets. Some exchanges don't have websocket, so I use polling with a 5 seconds interval. That's as close to real time as you can get...
I have been working on a side project for the past couple of months. Mainly, my goal was to have a platform where I can login to all my crypto exchanges but not have to go through the login / 2FA steps and have a unified interface. I also didn't want to upload my API keys to a 3rd party server like it's the case with coinigy.
That's how I came up with Silex, the API keys are stored encrypted on your laptop and you only need a PIN code. The PIN code is just guaranteeing that someone who steals your laptop cannot access your funds before you have time to realize it and cancel your API keys.
How does the encryption work? The PIN code is sent to my server and is hashed with salt, the hash is checked against a hash stored in my database. If the hash is wrong a pin retry count is decreased. After 5 wrong pin, the account is cancelled. Their is no PIN reset available. If successful, the hash is sent back to the client and is used as encryption key for the local storage of account information. So the attacker would have to attack my database and steal / hack my laptop to gain access to my fund. This sounds safe enough for me, but I'm open to suggestions.
Not all exchanges are created equal and at this stage of development, not all exchanges allow all operations. That being said, in its current version, 7 different exchanges have been integrated: Binance, GDAX, Bittrex, Kraken, Kucoin, Poloniex, Cryptopia. Let me know who should be next.
Why do people writing this kind of post need to use "you" instead of "I"? This is a very subjective view, I have been working remote for 4 years, and although I can relate to some of these points, I think it would be less pretentious to add some subjectivity to this point of view
A night of December 2013, I was walking towards the waterfront from our apartment on S1th and Berry in Brooklyn.I saw the spectacle of this ultra lit cityscape. What we're capable of doing with nature was somehow telling me that we have to do it. At the time it was a simple intuition. Now I can better piece things together, as if the cause of this intuition unwinds in front of me, with a fake air of truth. And I thought about the big things that mankind achieved. I thought going in space was one of them. But why? It's just what our species do. Space is just the new unknown territory. The trees grew higher to reach more sun and survive. We conquered all territories of this planet, that's how we survived. Also, we never had to look at leaving the place clean behind us, this has never been a survival instinct. But now, that we just settled, we grow out of place/resource, we start messing things up dangerously here. There is no telling how this will end, but now more than ever, we know that things must change. The way of caring about Nature that this situation requires is something we never experienced. One of the problems is that there is no direct payback for good behavior. Now that we're outside of the food chain in our leaky man-made biosphere we call cities, we are too far from the consequences of our actions on nature. Really this sucks. There is no turning back. The march of the civilization on our landscapes is devastating. Recycling plastic bags is not gonna cut it. We're just too many, each of us taking too much space, and growing. We need to be better at knowing nature as much as we need to have an escape. Let me insist on "as much as", otherwise this would just be another escapist rational and doesn't have anything to do with the highest good. So how could colonizing the galaxy be the highest good? Well, the highest good is not an expression I'm personally very fond of. This suggests the universality of virtues, which I am still struggling with. But let's assume that the highest good is to follow what we're programmed for, what we're good at, what we can call, inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer, our will as a species. Searching to understand nature and exploring new territories is a game we like to play. The excitement of discovery is so deeply ingrained in our species. This really is our life instinct. Whereas keeping things static, finding comfort in not questioning or enforcing our representations of the world is our death instinct.
Sharing my experience here. I have had a standing desk for over 6 months. I built it myself and cannot adjust the height, but I am actually really happy about that. I have a high stool I can sit on whenever I want. I don't know how much I stand and how much I sit, I just sit whenever I feel like it but stand for most of the time. I think that's the key. Not having fixed rule but listen to how you feel and always have the possibility to sit. The fact that I don't have to adjust my desk makes me more flexible, I can sit for just 10 seconds sometimes. My legs felt heavy during the first few weeks, but now I feel great and it gave me a lot of energy. The only drawback is that I have such thick skin on my heels now that I lost sensitivity there. But heel sensitivity was not a feature I was really holding on to...
I experienced this. I have a lot of started projects on my mac. Some i spent a few days on, other i spent a few months. In 2011 I started a game and that was the first project I finished (spiderdash.net). Although not really finished, but close enough. It took me over a year, and I really like it. What I realized, is that I do love the execution actually, but I am too unsure of the potential to focus on anything else, that is sales and marketing. So in the past 6 months I started building the ideas of my friends, I get them engaged because it's their ideas, and I get to do just the execution with the right amount of freedom. If you're like me, do things, but do it with someone else. The other good part about this is that you're going to create a unique mix of competencies. My friends are not developers, but they also are subject matter experts. So we are mixing 2 very different kind of expertise, and that's rich.
I do love CS and I don't think people should answer js questions writing CS code. This is just rude. If you write your blog in CS, it's your choice, it just limits your audience.
Seeing such an angry reaction about CS is a good news, it just means that it is popular.
