A programming language built in Elixir

We've officially launched the Elixium testnet today after months of hard work. Find out how you can get involved by joining our telegram chat: https://t.me/elixiumnetwork, or learn more about Elixium on our website: https://www.elixiumnetwork.or

I've spent the past few months working on creating a decentralized application network built for developers. Here's a link to a quick blog post I made explaining the idea. I'd love to get some of you on board! https://dev.to/alexdovzhanyn/...

im officially a nerd

We'e started putting together a formal system design spec for Elixium! Check it out here: https://research.elixium.app/s/... (and feel free to leave some feedback)

Got to present Elixium at ElixirConf! https://youtu.be/6_obNxEnwF8

If anyone else is going to be at ElixirConf in Washington this week, let me know! I'd love to meet some of you!

The Elixium blockchain project is coming along pretty well! We worked on it pretty hard for a few months but then I had to take some time off to deal with life stuff, but now I'm able to work on it again and I can honestly say I've really missed it.

I'd love some more open source contributors (after all, that's what decentralized software is all about), so if you're interested, *every little commit helps*.

Here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/elixiumnetwork/...

Hey all ruby devs! I've recently made a redux gem implemented in native ruby, that allows you to completely decouple state from your code. If any of you like the redux design structure and want to use it in your backend, check out https://github.com/alexdovzhanyn/...

Making some great progress with the level editor for my game!

decided to rebuild my personal website as an emulated terminal... pretty happy with it so far.

(its open source in case anyone wants to check it out: https://github.com/alexdovzhanyn/...)

had an incredibly productive day today on the ultradark blockchain. wrote a bunch of tests, updated documentation, split the repo into 3 seperate ones because it got too big and had too many different things in it, AND accidentally fixed an annoying, deep-recursion bug that ive noticed for a while now.

seems too good to be true...

Nothing quite like some late-night Elixir. Honestly the most fun language I have ever used (yes, more fun than Ruby)

Im thinking of writing a book on blockchain and possibly partnering with O'Reilly to get something solid done. It would be an in-depth book about the inner workings of blockchain technology, without assuming any knowledge of programming (but would cover every topid thoroughly).

Who here would be interested in reading something like that?

UltraDark - A blockchain written in elixir that is fast, anonymous, and scriptable.

everyone glorifies ethereum and its smart contracts, but the actual build tools and overall development environment around it sucks balls.

when testing a contract locally with truffle develop and metamask, you have to reinstall metamask after every transaction because it gets out of sync with your local chain... people are seriously okay with working with this shit?

Ruby blockchain update: V 0.0.1 Alpha is available for testing!

Spent 5 hours working on a solution for a hash difficulty comparison/scaling algorithm. after a bunch of different iterations and approaches, I find that my problem can be solved by the attached equation. Its such a simple answer but no way in hell would you be able to discern the amount of time and brainpower that was put into it. The git commit is literally 10 lines of code total, but I guess its not about the amount of code, but the time spent thinking about it thay counts?

Blockchain from scratch

guess ill join in on the fun

feeling like a badass... arch is finally fully installed and configured

Finally gave in and switched from ubuntu to arch... wish me luck!

If anyone here is a ruby dev, I've built out a wrapper for the devRant api which allows you to integrate devRant into your ruby projects easily.

Check it out here: https://github.com/alexdovzhanyn/... if you're interested. (And please report any issues if you come across them)

Anyone who remembers my last rant about getting fake chips might enjoy this.

After realizing that the EEPROMs I got last time were counterfeit, I bought a new set (and different model) from Atmel. They were super easy to hook up, and the best part is they actually work! Behold, my bit-by-bit EEPROM programmer:

I'm absolutely exhausted...
Just spent the past 2 days restructuring our SAAS products entire server network on AWS just so we can have a static IP address for all our server instances passing through an NAT....because we need to integrate with another service that only allows you to access their API if they whitelist your IP.

my z80s finally got here 😍😍

For those who were wondering, since my last post had some people who seemed interested, here's my progress on my 8-bit computer. I've got the clock on the left hand side, and the 2 8-bit registers on the right hand sign. (The power strips in the middle are going to be used as a bus)

Fuck you, you motherfucking fuck. How DARE you have the capacity to sell fake fucking chips on Amazon and make me fucking waste hours of my god damn fucking nights trying to program your shitty, lazy-ass implementation of an EEPROM.

I followed the datasheet specs down to the fucking microsecond just to find that nothing would write to the chip, and then spent hours of my goddamn life trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, making myself feel like a fucking failure for not being able to write 1s and 0s to a few pins. Fuck you, fuck you with a giant horse cock with needles on the tip

After 2 hours of wiring/debugging/rewiring, I have my EEPROM programmer halfway done. Currently is only able to read locations in memory. Next step: make it programmable.

(For those of you who dont know, EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable, Programmable Read-Only Memory
