i was instructor at CIWS school in SD for a couple years
I see. Over 200 generals got bounced by Obummer too. Ever thought about re-up or reserves now?
but it was kind of a light separation anyway. i was going to fight it at court martial and then they reduced my case to a general under honorable so i just took it
no way re up. im about to go use my GI bill
Good for u. What' the plan for school?
im gonna go to a coding boot camp
3 month class for a couple programming languages and web development
i started going to college already but it was not for me
what part of the country are u in?
central texas
So ur thinking web development. What part the splash page stuff or interactive data management?
actually im probably gonna do both
they usually separate it into front end and back end services
but the front end is like emphasis on languages and the back end is a little more emphasis on analytics and networking
my daughter has 2 degrees in computer science and informatics. She's liking it but wants to do more of the analytics too. I try to push her into security (blockchain)
we'll see😂
yes. the blockchain is taking markets by storm. many people are deciding to use a blockchain for accounting rather than rely on a bank.
right, lots of opportunities that people are not looking at for blockchain as an enabling technology
the blockchain is also a very strong tool for just data management. large companies like IBM are using it to secure their intellectual property.
that is what I mean....it enables many more things than people have thought of yet. still very much emerging.
blockchain is just an encryption system
its literally a chain of "blocks" or transactions
just means you have to maintain the whole record "chain" in order to update it
bitcoin uses a hashing algorithm which is just a really large math problem that forces computers to solve it before you can update the next block.
other "blockchains" can be made with other rules but its just a general idea
it prevents people from counterfitting electronic money by forcing everyone to keep the same record instead of double spending money or making a transaction and backing out etc
So did u understand @ZiggenVox explaination @Kitty?
I still wonder what good that (blockchain) will do in the event of an (H)EMP
well the blockchain itself is just a piece of software that every computer running it has a copy of
so you would have to EMP every bitcoin user on the planet at the same time
Right...
its basically indistructable
and we already have many emp shielded devices that would not lose their data
EMP affects hardware.. overloads. So hardware can be repaired .. the blockchain can still be resident on the computer it just can't go anyhere.
Okay, one would still need access to electricity and internet, still seems problematic when shtf situation is in play
until hardware is repaired
