I recently deployed an unofficial testnet for Komodo. This will allow me to perform system tests of notary functionality without affecting the true Komodo chain. The idea is to change as little code as possible, test the notary functionality from…
<disclaimer> These notes are my understanding by looking at code. I may be wrong. Do not take my word for it, verify it yourself. Much of what is below is my opinion. As sometimes is the case, following good practices…
Note: The following are my thoughts as a developer of Komodo Core. This is not a guarantee the work will be done in this manner, or even be done at all. This is me “typing out loud”. The Komodo Core…
A bit of background… The current branching strategy used in Komodo Core is somewhat informal. The idea is to formalize ideas so that everyone agrees on the procedures to follow, and those coming after us know what should be followed.…
I began a personal project a long time ago to provide connectivity to various cryptocurrency exchanges. I never got around to finishing it. It did however stay in my mind. And while working on other projects, I gathered knowledge of…
Arduino and the Arduino IDE are great products. They serve as an on-ramp (and a very good one) for many makers. You can do quite a bit of tinkering, and even build commercial products without leaving the Arduino ecosystem. I…
There are plenty of avenues to enjoy some good old-fashioned coding. Lately, I’ve been doing some embedded work, and found a reason to explore smart watches. It seems quite a community is building around watches and fitness bands. I purchased…
I have always enjoyed electronics as a spectator. It continues to fascinate me. But the maturing trend of IoT captures my imagination because it blends electronics and software. My career has mainly revolved around the major platforms. Windows, MacOS, Linux.…
I am researching open-source projects for marine weather radar. The weather radar hardware manufacturers are proprietary. I understand why, and I’m not against it. But I would like to have my data in one place if I can. To do…
I’m dreaming here. But if I were to build the ultimate framework for algorithmic trading, what would it look like? Purpose One purpose would be to concentrate more on the algorithm, and less on the mechanics that all strategies need.…
