@Brainboss never got through this post, I would like to add my inputs for this topic
I have recently started contributing to the
bitcoin network as well apart from contributing to the forum. Yes, we all are bitcoin users and atleast some of us should definitely contribute for the betterment of the network as well for a very popular information board like bitcointalk where many people from all over the world meet and discuss about bitcoin.
I hate people who are using both this forum and bitcoin just like a money making machine and we are also well aware they don't stay here for long. Considering my local community (local language bitcoin community) majority of them just hunt for $10-$20 of bitcoin and even reach the limits of scamming people for this negligible amount. They are far from getting educated of what a bitcoin/cryptocurrency actually is and use them only as a get-rich-quick scam scheme. These people are the ones which destroy the network and people with similar interest of get-rich-quick in our forum are the low level users who are bad for the forum functioning.
I do always like the Tech boards and participate in the same very often. @Brainboss As we have spoken in PM's already, I studied only a little of computer science in my university and was totally from a very different field. Though I was very much interested in programming, I became a self-made developer and got a job in the same field as well and till now helping people in Tech boards with the questions which I can answer with very meagre knowledge in the whole bitcoin technology.
Regarding the contribution to the bitcoin network,
- I have been recently appointed as a co-ordinator,reviewer and lead maintainer for a particular local language which bitcoin.org and Bitcoin Core would operate sooner this year or probably at the first quarter of next year. I took the initiatives and translating the whole website and have partially translated the core software which would probably go live by tomorrow with the 0.19.0 release.
- Also, I do test the core software at times and would retest the already prevailing issues and PRs.
Regarding the feedbacks, I never got involved in DT drama nor would never will get involved in the future.
P.S I believe the payment I receive from wearing my signature is not just for contributing to the betterment of this forum but also for contributing to the network on the whole.
