[@benjamina8357]

Thank you so much!!! I'm learning rust and the basics of cryptocurrencies at the same time!!!

[@omartahboub2900]

This is A GREAT TUTORIAL 😀 !!

[@gurejalectures]

Bravo .... keep it up

[@GeekLaunch]

Thank you for watching the video!

[@vyorkin]

cool series! there are {from/to}_{be/le}_bytes& {from/to}_{be/le}_bytes functions in std which could be used instead of implementing them (but maybe it would make it harder to understand what is going on)

[@GeekLaunch]

The other possibility is that I didn't know the rust stdlib very well when I made these videos 😅

[@dogeplayz.]

@@GeekLaunch hey, is it possible to use the stuff explained in this video to mine stuff like bitcoin through rust? I do not have much knowledge about blockchain, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

[@GeekLaunch]

@@dogeplayz. This series is about a super basic UTXO L1, so technically yes, at a simplistic level, this parallels Bitcoin. Would I recommend using it as a basis for mining Bitcoin? No. Bitcoin mining is done on specialized hardware at this point, and I don't think that "rewrite it in Rust" is going to help much there.

Here's the companion guide blog post for this video: medium.com/geeklaunch/blockchain-in-rust-02-mining-companion-guide-9106b7a7696d It's a lot easier to keep a blog post updated than a video, so feel free to ask questions there as well!

thank youuuu

[@shirshak6738]

thx :) expecting more :D

[@GeekLaunch]

Working on it... :)

[@prathmeshranjan873]

Rust syntax has changed a lot since then. Please make an updated course for the same. Thank you!

What kind of computer are you using? I can do 6 zeros in the same time it takes you to do 3? I only have 3.5 ghz and this is a single threaded program?

[@benjamina8357]

bro, he gives you an amazing tutorial and all you can do is critique the speed of his computer???!

[@GeekLaunch]

No worries, it was a weak sauce laptop that died a few months later 😂
