Welcome!
Nice introduction!
Good Luck and Have Fun!

Nice intro and glad to have you on board! To add to your "various toolkits", wackou has made a very nice-looking delegate control tools that could do with some more documentation as well as peer review, that could be a good place to start! :)

For your final questions: I got started by simply jumping in. I've been coding and learning as we go, lots of positive feedback kept me motivated.

If you're looking for another project, a full-fledged blockchain parser is something we're missing atm..

Best of luck to you!

Thank you! wackou's work looks excellent, I will definitely be testing it out.

What are the use cases for a full blockchain parser?
Sounds like it's right up my alley. :D

Awesome! .. The wiki can need every helping hand ..
I hope that I can jump in soon to refresh parts of the content.

It's quite simple:

  • Play with market-maker bots (I'm excited to do this)
Alternative implementation with updates and a 'balancing' bot:

  • Leave all documentation better than I found it and write it if it doesn't exist
Yeah! +5%

Eagerly await to see you contributions .. +5%

I'm a coder/sysadmin by trade, eager to contribute to this grand philosophy.
I'd love to be able help with important things like bugs, stability, and core features.
There's a lot to learn, so I'm starting with the basics.


I'm launching a delegate as the first step of my initial learning plan:
  • Build bitsharesx, learn the CLI basics, launch a delegate, publish price feeds
  • Reflect on what I can offer; write a delegate bid
  • Contribute to the wiki by cleaning/simplifying/elaborating
    • I plan to make this a habit for every new aspect I explore.
    • I'm good at simplifying and documenting procedures.
  • Study how the RPC system and various toolkits work
  • Play with market-maker bots (I'm excited to do this)
  • (I'll keep an updated roadmap as I progress in my quest)

Some potential "beginner projects" I'm excited about:
  • Working with and enhancing delegate automation tools
  • Pulling data/reports from blockchain
    • (I love working with and adding value to large data sets)
  • Learning about and improving external parts (e.g. price feed scripts)
  • Communicating with the blockchain from web apps
  • Dip my toes into BitShares code by studying and hunting bugs
  • to be continued...

Throughout all of this, I will:
  • Keep the delegate up-to-date, publish all feeds, and be quick to adopt and adapt
  • Engage with other developers and contribute to the extent my skill level permits
  • Leave all documentation better than I found it and write it if it doesn't exist
  • Engage on a local level (3 of us have schemed on a weekly basis for the last 2 weeks :D)
  • Help others interested in following a similar path


Support my quest to learn, document, and
contribute to the technical aspects of the BTS vision.

  • Are there any resources for new devs I should know about?
  • Active developers: how did you get started?
  • Potential developers: what's holding you back?
  • What are some good starter projects for apprentice devs?
  • Questions/feedback?
