Get started with web3 development on the blockchain today! ⛓

Here's a simple 5 minute guide to setup your metamask wallet and get free ethereum to develop decentralised applications 🧵

The first step is to head over to metamask.io/download, then download the metamask browser extention for your specific browser.

Chrome, FireFox and any chromium dervatives like brave, edge, vivaldi are supported.

After the extention is installed you'll be at the setup screen, click continue.

Click on 'Create a new wallet' and then agree on the next step.

This wallet is sort of like your bank account for all the cryptocurrencies and things that you own on the blockchain.

Create a password.

The password should be minimal 8 characters. Make it secure by adding numbers, special signs and capital letters.

You don't want hacker69420 to access your hard earned (mined?) doge :)

Now here comes the `Secret Recovery Phrase`, it is the key to your wallet. Make sure you save your Secret Recovery Phrase properly.

I'd reccomend writing it on a piece of paper, when I say store it properly, I mean it.

Anyone with this passphrase can access your wallet.

You will also be asked to confirm your Secret Recovery Phrase. You need to pick the exact order.

The Secret Rcovery Phrase is different from your private key, I'll show you how to access that soon.

But make sure you keep your private key, password and secret passphrase safe.

You can access the metamask dashboard by clicking on the extention icon in the top right corner, then click on the three dots and expand the view.

Now click on the three dots again, account details and you can now export your private key, do NOT share this with anyone.

This private key will be used in a lot of places while building dApps, keep it safe and use it properly.

Next let's get our free ethereum on the rinkeby testnet, this is 'fake' ETH for building and testing web3 apps on the blockchain.

twitter.com/intent/tweet?t…

Click on this link 👇🏻

twitter.com/intent/tweet?t….

Replace the 00x00... part with your public key and tweet it.

You'll find that in the metamask extention, click on the rectangle and it'll copy it straight to your clipboard.

This public is safe to share with anyone.

Finally you'll have to paste the link to the tweet you made on this website, the ETH funds will be transfered to your wallet on the testnet.

Hey Twitter!

I’m really excited to share what we’ve been working on at Eclipse for the past few months.

Here’s an Eclipse Mainnet 101 🧵

@EclipseFND In 2010 Bitcoin became the first public blockchain that allowed for the transfer of digital currency.

In 2014 came Ethereum which built on Bitcoin’s foundation and added programmability of this digital currency with smart contracts. This allowed for the creation of dApps.

These smart contracts are programs that live on the blockchain and can used for things like
- Defi: Lending, borrowing and exchange protocols
- Real World Assets: Physical or tangible assets like real estate, commodities that can be tokenized
- Identity systems like ENS

Twitter, forget JavaScript for a second. Take a look at Rust.

Rust developers are paid up to $230,000/year. There's insane demand for this tech!

Here's why and how I'm learning this beast of a programming language in 2023🧵

Python and JavaScript/TypeScript are my go-to languages for building web apps, backends, ML models, and anything I want.

However, recently I've wanted to learn something that's more low-level and faster.

That's how I got to learning Rust.

Rust is called by many the modern replacement for C++.

It is designed for systems programming, with a focus on safety, performance, and concurrency.

Here are some features of Rust that make it incredibly nice to work with:

ROC curves are a topic that you will encounter at some point in your machine learning journey.

They are one the most important metrics for evaluating a model.

Let's how they work and how to use them 🧵 👇🏻

A new disease 'X' has been identified in a region, fatal enough to kill a patient if not treated.

A team of engineers develop a machine learning model to predict if someone has this disease or not, surprisingly it caught every infected person!

But there's a big problem...

You see, this is a special disease that affects only a very small group of people and the victims show no symptoms.

It is caused by several factors such as the amount of fat in someone's body, muscle density, etc.

Google spent $36,847 an hour for 40 days straight to train a machine learning model called AlphaGo.

Put simply, making these models is an expensive and lengthy process.

Here's how you can potentially train your models upto 2x faster with the magic of parallelization🧵

Training a machine learning model is typically a 3 step process called 'ETL', which stands for:

- Extraction
- Transformation
- Loading

Let's take a closer look at these phases.

1/ Extraction

This is start of the machine learning pipeline where the raw data is extracted from wherever it is stored.

This data needs to be processed before it is fed into the model.

A couple of days ago I showed you how to mint NFTs on the blockchain with JavaScript in ~10 lines of code.

You can do the same thing with Python 🐍

Here's how it works🧵

Typically minting an NFT would require you to write code in this language called 'solidity' to create a smart contract which would then mint the nft.

It require lots of testing, security checks and remember, once code goes on the blockchain it cannot be changed.

This sucks.

What we'll do instead is use the thirdweb's Python library, and with ~10 lines of code we'll mint NFTs without any hassle.

I'll guide you through the entire process, let's go 👇🏻

You make your own cryptocurrency on the blockchain with JavaScript in just these 9 lines of code.

Here's how it works🧵

We'll be using thirdweb's JavaScript sdk to make this happen.

To start you'll need to setup Metamask and store your private key, here's a guide that'll take you through the entire process.

🔗 thirdweb.com/portal/guides/…

Next head over to thirdweb.com/start, you will be guided through a setup process.

These steps are to get your metamask setup with the thirdweb interface.
