I started a website for my final capstone project for my Bachelors degree in software/mobile development application and website design.

I am going to be working on finishing that up in 2018.

It's a huge project that is going to take me quite some time. I want to keep the site 100% ad free, so I trying to put together some ideas on how to monetize it. For now I an just asking for donations. But at some point I might need to figure out some kind of way to monetize it.

12 smart contract projects, one for each month. So far I have a list of 9 projects to do, easy stuff. The usual, lottery, auction... But I want to do it from the point of view of a python backend server, so I plan to use Viper.

I'm interested in doing similar. Due to time constraints might be be per 2 months. Some ideas: Poker variant - quite hard but thought of a way to do it without a trusted oracle. Hodl contract - forces you to hold for X months Simple asset price contract where 2 parties bet each way. Requires an oracle. Sports betting. Oracle. Reputation coin - prove your general rep by aggregating HN, SO, Reddit etc. scores. Oracle.…

I am really interested! I particularly like your idea about the simple asset price contract. Could be really cool to get in touch.

Would be cool. I'll stick the blog URL in my profile for a couple of days and you can find my email that way

Last few months I've been building digital musical instruments for Android [0], I guess I'll continue working on that. So far I've built a few 'instruments' that emulate traditional instruments (guitar, organ, choir...) that you can play in real time on your phone. During next year I would like to take advantage of interactive platform, to make the instrument actually respond to your playing (and then to augment it).…

>Last few months I've been building digital musical instruments

Ha ha, that's a fun area. I had written this Python "piano" app for PCs a while ago; it's simple, but the comments on it about Western classical music theory (which I am a newb at) were interesting:

Edit: In fact, I had first written a BASIC version of this same program on my first personal computer, an IBM PC Jr., which I wrote about here:

If any of you are interested in working on side projects full time, we're starting a community in NYC of people doing just that. Check us out if interested: recesslabs.com For me, my last side project was a crypto-related joke site (sendcryptopeopletulips.com). I think the next one will also be a humor + tech project. I'm really interested to explore tech as a medium for comedy.

I will work for you if you allow remote worker

Changing my job. As I'm looking for remote only in European hours - it will be quite challenging. Family issues don't allow me to work in US hours from Europe. I think this will be my full time project, as such a position is quite unique in Europe. Besides I'm going to read a lot, and finally understand Haskell. As for the programming stuff: write a book about databases, and write some Postgres patches for fun.

I won't mine hanging around, reading your book, and testing your patch

I'd like to port the entire authorization module from my open source Python project, Yosai, to Rust and use it as a shared library from Python. I PoC'd this work last January, resulting in the release of my first crate and Rust tutorial. I haven't touched Rust since, though, but intend to push on further. A complete Rust implementation has the benefit that it can be adapted to myriad other languages and thus has a mu…
