Ethereum Manual for Digital Primitives – Chapter V – Ethereum and the Infinite Garden
The heart of the “Ethereum Manual for Digital Primitives” lies in this chapter, where the reader finally begins to grasp the potentialities of the decentralized world. However, all these utopian dreams wouldn’t be possible without Ethereum. As highlighted in the previous chapter, Bitcoin’s functionality is limited to currency exchange, whereas Ethereum proposes itself as the…

Ethereum Manual for Digital Primitives – Chapter IV – Consensus, Blockchain, and Bitcoin
In a centralized system, all computers connected to a server refer to the information present on the central server, and whoever controls the server controls the state of the system. Changing this paradigm is incredibly difficult. It’s not just about implementing a new type of encrypted information on private computers; it’s about creating a new…

Ethereum Manual for Digital Primitives – Chapter III – Programming information
In the previous chapters, we’ve come to understand that digital information usually gains value because a central entity vouches for its worth. To ensure the value of information on a private computer of an individual, cryptography is essential. Until now, we’ve considered computers as mere passive containers, but their primary purpose is actually processing information.…

Ethereum Manual for Digital Primitives – Chapter II – Property and Value of Information
What does it mean to own digital information? Does a photo I post on Instagram belong to me? Bureaucratically, probably yes. But, in reality, the photo lives on Meta’s servers, and if for any reason Meta decided to delete it, the bureaucratic owner of the photo could not oppose it in any way. In other…

Ethereum Manual for Digital Primitives – Chapter I – Computational Power
Humans are extraordinary creatures, distinct from all others, who after millions of years of evolution, can afford to live in a reality tailored to their needs. No longer do they have to flee from tigers seeking to devour them, nor wait days in a cave for rain to cease before hunting; now, they merely sit…

Proof of work NFTs
I think this idea is worth many $$$ But I hate the whole degen side of crypto, so I’ll never implement it. Go for it, implement it and get rich 🤣 Lets take a 32 bytes string: For each of the byte we can assign a characteristic of the NFT. Lets imagine that we are…

Async collaboration powered by LLM
Async is hard Working remotely is fine, but working asynchronously is hard. Especially if many people needs to coordinate themselves. Chat applications, from my point of view, are too messy: if you lose a weekend of conversation then reading all unread messages can become stressful. On the other hand, forums are too structured, are often…

Proof of idea
I have many ideas every day most of them are probably trash… But I decided to finally write them down so that when I realized I didn’t decide to build a billion dollar idea I will be able to say: I thought about it first! But you cannot trust my website because I can change…

A revolution against monopolies
After reading an essay by Étienne de La Boétie called Discourse on Voluntary Servitude, I got a strong sense of living in a world in which we are slaves of the decisions that the big corps impose to us. For example, why are we paying lots of money for an hamburger that was produced spending…
