Built on Cardano

I spent 5 months learning how to build with Aiken and Mesh. To celebrate main net contracts, here are some honest thoughts about what the process has been like building on Cardano. The first month was rough. Jumping from JavaScript to Aiken was very difficult. I tried to read their docs and run their examples, but after a couple of weeks, it still hadn't clicked. The tutorials didn't always work out of the box, and the videos I could find felt incomplete. I felt dumb. I didn't even know what questions to ask. I needed the Fireship or Wes Bos of Cardano, but all I found were Big Pey and Learn Cardano who, seem chill, but only frustrated me as they didn't write code with their guests. Google should have been serving me different content, but maybe it didn't exist..

#Blockchain based tools can play an important role in helping meet the @UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Here, our friends from @CardanoBuilt highlight 3 projects on #Cardano that aim to help us get there: ✨@landanodapp ✨@veritree_ ✨@empowa_io cryptoaltruism.org/blog/3-project…

@LiteGj @drama_of_dalama @SCATDAO There is indeed builtoncardano.com/ecosystem/proj…

@drama_of_dalama @SCATDAO Isn't there a graveyard section on @CardanoBuilt ? builtoncardano.com

Hey all I’m looking for some help on researching different Cardano projects that did not make it. All skill levels welcome. Just head over to @SCATDAO discord channel and let Yoda1313 know in the chat you are there to help. 🔎🔎

We need to get outside of our bubble to help spread the word about what is building on Cardano, here's an article that does just that!

🏗️ Announcing a new kind of DApp on #Cardano 🏗️ We are excited to introduce Gimbal Project Treasury + Escrow (GPTE): gpte.gimbalabs.io What's unique about GPTE? 🧵👇

@Juanlocor Anyone can contribute a project to our ecosystem map: builtoncardano.com/create

@CardanoBuilt how can i add this channel? I ask because I don't own it. @CardanoCastellano" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@CardanoCastel… thanks

Excellent dive into the public information on a high profile project's founder. 🤓 👏👏👏

Can someone point me to the nearest Epoch Clock⏰

Out with the new, in with the old.

@SCATDAO @intel_honesty It'd be interesting to see the math on how the growth of the use of Bitcoin (i.e. more tx fees being paid with each block) could make mining profitable at not so astronomical a price of the underlying coin in the future.

@intel_honesty @CardanoBuilt Exactly. That is the main reason it's hard for me to see a long term future for Bitcoin. Have not seen a good response to how this is not going to be a problem. But if people want to own it or support it, I have no problem with that 🙂.

If your tokens entire use case is “a store of value” then your token does nothing. Have been seeing a few projects that claim this as a use case lately. You can make this claim about every single token minted on #Cardano. It is not unique and a project advertising it is a 🚩

@intel_honesty @SCATDAO Unpopular opinion: If Bitcoin is to become a store of value instead of the currency it intended to be doesn't that make it more like a fiat currency?

@SCATDAO But Bitcoin is "a store of value"??👀

@CNFTbro Good starting point here for you: builtoncardano.com/blog/the-9-cry…

@Jane14457995 Thanks for your insights. The classifications was to try and provide insight for people as to what was a failed idea (maybe it was unique) and what was an out-and-out scam. Definitions definitely help. Sounds like a time for an article explaining the different types of scams

@CardanoBuilt I think you should define what you mean by failed project, scam and exit liquidity. There's an overlap so if you want to do polls, do definitions, for the best polls, and also so people interpret your site correctly. Also may be better to just list dead projects vs classifying.

#CardanoCommunity How do you categorize the Ardana news?

@snj_peters Rug are pulled pretty much straight after the token sale. Exit scams are drawn out for much longer after the token sale.

@CardanoBuilt What is the difference between an Exit Scam and a Rug Pull? Intuitively I would say they are the same

@Jane14457995 It is not, yet... this is a test as our goal is to be community sourced information for the community. We created this after we deleted Flickto, I've got multiple lists of scams and rug pulls to work through once I've finished researching and adding live projects.

@CardanoBuilt Is the project graveyard data all based on polls? Surprised you haven't put Flickto in there

@CalvinsBrew unfortunately malicious actors will always be a part of a decentralized ecosystem. The very nature of decentralization removing middlemen and checks on business/peoples makes it easier for these guys to maneuver without repercussion.
