▻https://hackernoon.com/non-fungible-tokens-vs-fungible-tokens-whats-the-difference-part-ii-f4b7

By: Jesse AbramowitzBlockchain DeveloperThis article is part two of the non fungible token article here. Probably best to read that first if the term ERC721 is confusing to you. This article is for an intermediate crowd.Last time I wrote about the idea of what is a non fungible token we didn’t get into any use cases, this part will address that gap.One of the first industries to push forward any cool new tech is usually video games. Whether it be because they are relatively low stakes, they are already either technology-driven or the users tend to be techno literate.In this case let us look at a video game and how they can employ both ERC20 and ERC721. Let’s take a random game, say, Fortnite for example, a game which I am a god at…actually I am horrible at it but you all have no way of (...)

What is Create2? A Tale of Two OptcodesBy: Jesse AbramowitzBlockchain DeveloperEthereum’s latest last fork Constantinople has successfully been integrated into #ethereum and with that comes extra features. This article will cover what the create2 #optcode is, why it was added, and what you can do with it. Lastly, I will go through an in-depth demonstration of how to execute it.Let’s get started!What is Create2?This EIP (Ethereum Improvement Proposal) was created by Vitalik on 2018–04–20 and can be found here. Currently there are two types of addresses in Ethereum: wallet addresses and contact addresses. All of these addresses already exist and can have funds sent to them already (there is no button or switch or message required to initiate these account). To create a wallet, a randomly (...)

Quadriga’s Conundrum : An Analysis
▻https://hackernoon.com/quadrigas-conundrum-an-analysis-ce6ec59ee46b?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3-

By: Jesse AbramowitzBlockchain DeveloperIn what seems stranger than fiction, earlier this week, Quadriga, admitted that they are unable to recover access to $145 million of #btc and other digital assets. This was announced after 30 year old founder Gerald Cotten was reported dead following complications arising from Crohn’s Disease.As it turns out, Cotten was the only one with access to Quadriga’s funds in cold storage and the password was lost along with his life.It is a a very sad end to the story, both for the friends and family of Cotton, but also users of Quadriga.In the wake of this story, it seems crazy for anyone to keep a significant amount of funds on exchanges, yet this isn’t the first time and this won’t be the last time. For example, Mount Gox. At the very least hopefully, I can (...)

By: Jesse AbramowitzBlockchain DeveloperIf you haven’t heard, this week has been intense for any Ethereum Core developer. With the entire #blockchain community buzzing about Ethereum’s latest fork Constantinople, it has unfortunately been postponed for very, very valid reasons.I’d like to commend the amazing work to all of the developers for recognizing the situation and losing a lot of sleep to fix it.To date, I haven’t been able to find any updates following the Ethereum developers call so I figured that it would be good idea to provide an outline of what has happened thus far. I know that a lot of people are curious about this so I figured this article would help make their lives easier too.Let’s dive right in!The ForkEthereum is constantly updating, as most blockchains do. This is (...)

Top 10 Developer Tools for #blockchain Ecosystems
▻https://hackernoon.com/top-10-developer-tools-for-blockchain-ecosystems-ed48b36fb2bf?source=rss

By: Jesse AbramowitzBlockchain DeveloperIn order for a Blockchain ecosystem to thrive, developers need to be on board to create and foster a community. Accomplishing that feat requires the appropriate tools to handle the job. From creating DApps using Ethereum, Hyperledger or even Bitcoin, a blockchain becomes mainstream only when the proper tools are in place for developers to allow for mass adoption.Here at BlockX Labs, some of my favourite work is building developer tools for blockchains. We are passionate about tools and are always looking for more to build. I personally joined the company almost 4 months ago. I am what is known as a blockchain native developer as in I am self taught with solidity as a base language.As a lot of people may know the gold standard for this is (...)
