A fascinating conversation about all things Bitcoin with Core maintainer achow101 during advbitcoin. FrederickMunawa reports.
Andrew Chow:
So I was like, this bitcoin thing is fully electronic. Maybe I can use that to buy games – but how do I get bitcoin? Maybe I can do some work and get paid in bitcoin. So that's how I got into Bitcoin. And eventually I was like, “Well, I'm using this wallet and I'm running into these issues. I clearly know how to write a program. Maybe I can fix this wallet.” That's how I got into doing development.. Which was basically not maintained. I mean, it's still kind of maintained by one guy, so barely.
I was trying to reconcile the two, and then Armory just kind of fell off my map. That's how I transitioned to Bitcoin Core. I eventually stopped working on Armory because I got more done on Core. Personally, I find code review to be a little bit boring. It's a little annoying and it can be kind of mind numbing. But I still do it. I guess it's like a necessary evil and it's because I don't find it fun. If I do it enough, I start feeling like I’ll burn out because it's no longer enjoyable.
