I returned from ETHRome 2024 Hackathon with two bounties won in my bag. Together with @rubendinis we built the Onchain Advent and we won bounties ...

1st for using Pimlico (https://www.pimlico.io/) ,the infrastructure platform to build with Smart Accounts and

2nd for using Scaffold ETH 2 (https://scaffoldeth.io/ ), which gave us a lot of tools already baked in into our project.

This is my POAP https://collectors.poap.xyz/token/7208431

And of course my participation to ETHRome was sponsored by @talent , the company I work for ;-)
I'm extremely excited!

After 6 months of very intensive level-up, I have finally landed a full-time job in the Web3 world.

From today, I will be full-time working for @talent

The platform for professional reputation data. Built on Web3/Blockchain.

I will work on all layers of the stack.

- Next.js
- JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem for Web3 development
- Ruby/Ruby on Rails
- Postgres
- AWS
- Solidity

🎉 💪
Yesterday I tried to write Hardhat tests using the Viem integration. But the Hardhat Chai Matchers don't work, yet, with Viem.

So, I upvoted this open issue here:

https://github.com/NomicFoundation/hardhat/issues/4874

You may want to do that too.
Today, I decided to move my blog post writing activity to a Web3 decentralized platform. Mirror

https://mirror.xyz/panagiotismatsinopoulos.eth

Since I have become a Web3 and Blockchain advocate, both as a user and as a builder, I couldn't resist in moving to a platform that doesn't bind its existence to my creative activity.

I can now create content that will stay in history forever, regardless which client application I use to create it.

My readers will continue to be able to read my content for free. But also,

- They can subscribe to get notified
- They can mint the blog posts they like. This rewards me and the platform. And they can be rewarded too if they mint a blog post first.

Let's build and use decentralized platforms as much as we can. This will make our data being our own property, not controlled by anyone else other than us.
I just got my certificate of completion for the Chainlink CCIP Bootcamp.

CCIP is the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol that allows to send tokens and messages from one chain to another. And not only that, it allows for the recipient to be either an EOA or a Smart Contract. And when a Smart Contract the sender can specify a public function to be called on it.

I worked hard to implement different use cases and I really enjoyed this awesome bootcamp.

Thank you @chainlinklabs for organizing this.

I just claimed my Round 2 $BUILD tokens and decided to burn 90 percent of my allocation to show support to the project. 🫡
"The Infinite Machine"

I just finished reading this book. It taught me a lot about the first days of Ethereum. The founders, the locations where things took place, first builders, first hacks.

I highly recommended if you want to learn about how Ethereum started.

Next.js is one of my favourite frameworks for building Web applications both in Web2 and Web3 worlds.

You can have your own virtual ticket to the next Next.js Conference in Oct 24th.

I just acquired "arigatai.xyz".....something I am building about ;-)
I just got my Basename as part of Onchain Summer! 😎

Basenames are ENS names supercharged by @base: low-cost (or free!), easy to use, and a powerful tool for connecting builders across the onchain economy.

Boom! Just got some free Sepolia ETH on https://alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia in literally 1 minute.

This book, although a little bit old, it's not outdated. It sets the vision and the challenges of application of this new technology, Blockchain. It is not technical, which means it can be read by non-technical people and, actually, I highly recommend it to those who want to understand what Blockchain is and what it can do for the society, if used as the book suggests...Blockchain should be used to sign a new Social Contract, that will make this world better.

I liked it very much!

I just nominated @macedo for /build because, he has worked hard for our EthGlobal Hackathon project, has created a stunning presentation and he has beautifully delivered it. And for many more good things he did about our stay in Brussels.

P.S. Thank you also for your suggestion to read the book "The Infinite Machine"!
I just nominated @juampi for /build because... he was so friendly with us in Brussels, he organized everything excellently, with great professionalism. I hope to see you and work with you again soon Juampi. Thank you for everything.

P.S. I was impressed about your history knowledge!

I just nominated @tolgadizmen for /build because he has perfectly organized, together with other Talent Protocol colleagues, my visit and participation at EthCC[7] and EthGlobal, in Brussels. Thank you very much for everything Tolga.
While reading a Blockchain related book...

(Blockchain Revolution, by Don and Alex Tapscott)
I just nominated @leal.eth for /build, not only because he gave me the chance to design and implement my first Smart Contract, but also because he has been a great mentor to me during the EthGlobal in Brussels! 🙇‍♂️
Returned from this 1000 times rewarding experience, I wrote a blog post about it here:

https://www.rayo.gr/blog/ethcc-7-ethglobal-9-amazing-days-in-my-life

Thank you @talent, @ethcc, @ethglobal , @celo for making this experience a reality for me. It wouldn't have been possible without you.
