Enterprises are still hesitating to use blockchains, mostly because of data privacy issues. Mixicles, a new solution by
@chainlink
, enable smart contract privacy on public chains through decentralized oracles. No need for in-house/private blockchains!
#SmartContracts
In a recent Gartner blog, Analyst
@avivahl
highlights Chainlink Mixicles as one of the top blockchain technology trends. Mixicles bring much-needed privacy to smart contracts, especially contracts on public chains.
Finally set up my first
#Chainlink
node on the Ethereum Mainnet and verified it via
@linkpoolio
. A Chainlink node verifies requests between the blockchain and external APIs. If you want to support the ecosystem, I highly recommend you to run one as well!
Chainlink Market will be the first marketplace to search for all kind of oracles, i.e. data providers on the blockchain. Do you need Chainlink oracles that can fetch the current weather conditions for an on-chain insurance agreement? Chainlink Market is the platform to go.
We're excited to be launching the Chainlink Market. The first of its kind marketplace that will play a pivotal role in the success of the
@chainlink
ecosystem.
Are you a blockchain developer? Then make sure to join this hackathon! Build on
@chainlink
, the greatest decentralized oracle network, that gives smart contracts secure and reliable access to data providers and web APIs.
#BuildWithChainlink
We’re thrilled to announce Chainlink’s first virtual hackathon from Oct 14-31. There are over $60k in bounties for developers building the best connected smart contract applications using
#Chainlink
oracles. Learn more at .
#BuildWithChainlink
Great idea by the Chainlink team to get their community involved. Design something unique for the Chainlink ecosystem, tag it with
#ChainlinkCreative
and post it on Twitter. If you get picked, you can win $250 worth of $LINK. Let's go,
#linkmarines

Can't compare a billionaire to an indie hacker. Tesla has 140,000 employees, SpaceX has 13,000 employees, X has 2,000 employees. Elon is just the face of those companies. He has billions of VC capital to deploy and many smart people working for him.
Intel and Chainlink are combining forces to develop new standards and tools that will drive enterprise blockchain adoption. What a time to be alive! The future is decentralized.

Set MRR milestones for new features
Don't build, build, build for 3 months without getting customers. I know, it's tempting.
Try this instead:
Launch an MVP with 2-3 core features.
Once you hit $500 MRR, spend 10 hours to ship the next feature.

One framework I can totally recommend to all web developers out there is

Always nice to have a fairly dense whitepaper parsed into simpler terms as well: "Mixicles use oracles to build simple, privacy-preserving decentralized finance (DeFi) instruments on public blockchains."

Given the technical nature of Mixicles, we broke down their core concepts into a more digestible format. Mixicles facilitate private transactions on public blockchains and have profound potential to drive enterprise demand for

When thinking of a new SaaS idea, ask yourself 3 things:
Will my product...
1. Make customers life better?
2. Make customers more money?
3. Save customers time?
If all of these are ticked then you'll very likely face the least amount of objections.

Tax inclusive for B2C, tax exclusive for B2B. Always mention on your landing page if it's inclusive or exclusive. Consumers might not buy your product, if they see the 19-21% added tax in Stripe Checkout.

I'd recommend an LLC instead. SG companies require you to have a director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. It's an annual service that costs $2-4k/year extra.
Easiest way to filter falsy values (undefined, null, …) from an array? Use the Boolean object wrapper as filter function: [1, 2, null, 4].filter(Boolean); gives you [1, 2, 4]

I don't understand why he doesn't hire contractors/employees at this point. He could afford 1-2 experienced project managers and a handful of skilled designers...
Scalable SaaS and digital goods (themes, icon sets, etc) are probably the best revenue streams for freelance web developers. Find a common problem, work on a solution and start productizing.

Wow, $35k is crazy for a meditation app. I wonder what their marketing secrets are. Their website doesn't look that good to be honest. You should ask them for an interview!
Venture Capital in a nutshell 😂 Society doesn't need another unprofitable delivery app. We need more tech founders with a "bootstrapping mindset". Wish they would have used some of the $100 billion to fund the

The funniest transfer of wealth in modern times is the SoftBank Vision fund which took $100 billion in Saudi oil money and gave it to founders who were “reimagining salad delivery” and building coupon apps for dogs that required $2B in funding.

From what I've seen, products that are targetting other startup founders do really well. Also anything related to AI and ChatGPT is likely to take off.
Does anybody else have one of those days, where you feel a lack of focus/direction?
You don't know what to do next, so you stop working on your project and jump on the next shiny idea?
You're not alone.

I like to build a landing page that explains the problem and solution of the product. So I need a hero listing the benefits, feature overview, pricing table, and a wait list form (to capture leads). The product can wait until there's enough interest from potential customers.
Yesterday I went on a sunrise hike to the top of Mount Batur (1,717m).
I had to get up early at 1:30 AM and slept only 2 hours. But it was all worth it. The view was incredible.

Actually they're called Landing Pages and used to collect leads or sell digital products. I think they perform best in combination with paid ads. Less suitable for SEO.
