What is Solana? The Basics - Nov 13th '23

[@WesBit]

Good reminder on a lot of stuff I forgot about awhile back when I was messing around. ☺

[@npomfret]

Thanks. Super helpful. Could have done without all the nonsense at the start... almost turned off, glad I didn't. I'd like to see more of this beginners stuff if you have the time. The web3 apis would be useful. And one about the structure of the blockchain entires and how to decipher them (logs, instructions, inner instructions, programs etc). And also perhaps how to interact with some of the more popular on-chain programs (magic eden, Jupiter, orca etc).

[@SIInvest]

I agree. It took 5 minutes to reach the point, and I almost clicked off. This is a how-to video, not an entertainment video. On how-to videos, creators get to the point and remove all of the extra clips or personalities that do not involve part of the training.

incredible content! Thank you!

39:00 isn't it 32 bytes in the first half of a private key and 32 bytes in the second half of a public key? I am not sure myself

[@germainst5603]

pretty cool video! Thanks!

[@chachanne]

Could you please make a video on smart contract security with Rust / Solana?

[@eduardarustamyan4529]

I dont can make solna swap transaction in my node js script. Please help my Andy. Make a video instruction on this. Old video about that not relevant

[@npomfret]

Is there a mistake here around 26:20? When a transaction fails, you say that no state change happens (except something to do with durable nonses). But I ran through my transactions and checked the SOL balance, it looks like if get's reduced by the fee amount when the transaction fails (where I am the fee payer). So there is kind of a state change... just a small one.

[@Solandy]

Ah, yes, excellent spot! The transaction fee is of course also charged. I did not consider that in this second so you're right, what i said is incorrect (or at least incomplete)

Is it possible to run my token through an extension to make it buy back and distribute another token?
