I'm that guy, but a bit older than the picture.

Have a full set.of recorded lectures here: https://youtube.com/@edilmedeiros

I'm also working on putting my lecture notes in written, but this will take a few more months.

Serious education exists.

For devs programs, search for Vinteum, Chaincode Labs, Btrust Builders, Bitshala, Liberia de Satoshi. How to get funded is one of the things we talk in the programs.

Also, I have a regular Bitcoin course for CS and engineering programs at the Univ. of Brasília and I'm helping update the MIT course.

So, for your question of how to survive, we have undergrads that went straight to a bitcoin grant or job, we have guys that saved from their 9 to 5 job and used that to finance themselves until they've built enough proof of work to get funded, and we have guys that do as a side job while they build enough proof of work to quit.

Could be better, but funding is out there and tends to improve. It just is not actively advertising as in a regular company. Once you build a track record of smaller contributions, you'll find a way to reach a decent grant.

Now we convince @nprofile1q... to come 💪

Maybe we can convince @nprofile1q... to let me repeat it at @npub1dwah6... Florianopolis in February?

I think it will be the Exploit edition, have to think what could be said in that regard.

Mint, Melt, Repeat: Interactive E-cash for Bitcoiners at @npub17yqgp...

Explained the basic crypto behind modern E-cash and the Cashu protocol proposed by @nprofile1q....

I fast coded a cashu wallet in stage, but you can check a more structured material at https://github.com/edilmedeiros/cashu-workshop

Feedback and PRs are super welcome to make this the best introductory cashu workshop/workbook.

@nprofile1q... is a truly transformative organization and @nprofile1q... is an amazing partner.

I'm not exaggerating when I say we are building the best educational programs and materials of the bitcoin space.

Thanks for inspiring me to do my best work and to inspire brilliant minds to join the Vinteum community.

Vibe coding is the cheap Chinese plastic gadget factory of the digital world.

The more I see people talking on the internet, the more convinced I get that explaining is a talent, not only a skill.

Bitdevs Porto Alegre essa semana!

Have been using Ghostty for some time, quite happy with it. Used iTerm before. iTerm seem to interact better with emacs on the terminal, but I switched back to the gui version.

Wow, that's cool info. Are you working on scavenging the bitcoin history?
