I would strongly encourage to pursue formal CS coursework even at a community college. Most coding bootcamps are very profit driven and not really interested in the needs of their students. He will be much better off in the long term.
indeed it is. I have read about cases where they have intercepted a target's cell phone at a repair shop and had it modified with an explosive device, then used it after the target had the phone back in their posession.
If I built this in React Native I would have had you covered :(
I am not aware of any Android apps doing the exact same thing. There are ofcourse tons of meditation apps tho so there could be similar.
But I found music is mostly added to other apps hence the reason to build my own. Do you use a Mac? I am contemplating to build it for Mac as well
but why Bitcoin? It's flawed on so many levels (Proof of Work, hard to extend, etc). Why not actually engage DARPA, or some equivalent organization to research and properly design a cryptocurrency that meets and possibly exceeds the current requirements of the Federal Reserve. I'm laughing too, and how ignorant our gov is when it comes to technology. So many things they could experiment with: Ethereum and Hyperledger would be a good start.
>Why not actually engage DARPA, or some equivalent organization to research and properly design a cryptocurrency that meets and possibly exceeds the current requirements of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve would actually have to any requirements for cryptocurrency for that to happen. Like most crypto things, it's a bunch of solutions looking for problems.
Worse is better. Bitcoin is neutral. Ethereum, Hyperledger, hypothetical DARPA-coin, etc all are not. Money is a social technology before it is a computer technology, and the elimination of a trusted third party is Bitcoin's principal contribution.
You can still eliminate the trusted 3rd party with other blockchain stacks. Bitcoin pioneered the concept as social experiment mostly that happened to become a currency by accident. The concept of a "Federal Reserve" and "the elimination of a trusted third party" are in direct opposition of each other, so Bitcoin doesn't even make sense from that point of reference either.
Proof of work isn't a flaw. In fact it's a fundamental part of monetary value, just as it is for gold and in fact anything else of honest value i.e. not valuable simply due to artificially-limited centrally-controlled issuance that invariably leads to corruption through the Cantillon Effect.
You got it! By approximate category and in no particular order:
