What the hell is an ICO ? And why the f#ck does something like Tezos fundraised more than 65,697 BTC and 361,122 ETH, which in total stands for around: 271,328,610 USD … Jokes aside, I’ve dig a bit more on the project and found out that their main value proposition, relies on their whitepaper which explains their tech. So I went further and found their github, where I discovered they only have ~510 commits and 1 contributor… ! ...

A ‘short’ post by @oschvr +++ In this truly fast moving world, one must stop for a moment, look back and ponder what is it exactly that a man required to achieve something great by him/herself? What about if he/she could organize a group of people to achieve a much larger goal? How about when someone set to dedicate his/her entire life and the life of his/her descendants to achieve a seemingly impossible and life-lasting task? ...

Notes on Solidity The Ethereum Smart Contract languaje. by oschvr Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript and it is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Based on the documentation provided by the Ethereum Foundation, the Solidity programming languaje provides the tools to create Smart Contracts that interact with the Ethereum Blockchain. I will cover the following topics: Smart Contracts Blockchain Basics Ethereum Virtual Machine I’m using VS Code for MacOS, here’s an example of how it looks, with the extension by Juan Blanco: ...

Profundizando en Tensorflow. Pt. 1 Plataforma de Aprendizaje Automático de Google Por Oscar Chávez (@oschvr) Tensorflow es una plataforma a código abierto de aprendizaje automático para todos. Estrictamente es una libreria para computación numérice mediante gráficos de flujo de datos. Los nodos en los gráficos representan operaciones matemáticas, mientras que los bordes de los gráficos representan las matrices de datos multidimensionales (tensores) comunicadas entre si. Tensores La unidad central de Tensorflow es el tensor. Un tensor consiste en un conjunt de valores primitivos modelados dentro de un arreglo de cualquier dimensión. El rango de un tensor es el número de dimensiones. ...

So, for the next and most ambitious project we’ve ever had at VR3, I self-assigned to me the tremendous task of building a Trading System that includes some sort of Trading Model or Trading Bot, that can, but is not limited to do HFT(High Frecuency Trading). All build in Node.js, Express and some other tools that I will explore on another post. As I face a this big challenge, I’ve come to realize that it’s crucial to read, investigate, learn the best practices and come up with some general considerations. ...
