Top 10 Online Crypto Communities 2020

Crypto is still rapidly growing in 2020, and while the hype train has somewhat left the station, we are sure it will be back. In the meantime, it’s a good opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and technology that support decentralized money. These communities can help tremendously.

#1 BITCOINTALK

https://bitcointalk.org/

Bitcointalk is the gold standard for the community of Crypto on the Web. There are 3 million posts and two million members approaching this platform. There are different sections related to speculations, mining, development, technical assistance, IOC, and more. For convenience, the site is accessible in twenty different languages.

CRYPTOCURRENCYTALK

https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/

If you are concerned more with newer, riskier, and frankly scummier projects, CryptocurrencyTalk will be the best place for you.

REDDIT

Reddit has the most siloed and specific communities in regards to crypto. It’s a great place to go, but beware, tribalism runs deep and if you are in favor of the “wrong coin” on the wrong subreddit, you may just get banned.

BTC – http://reddit.com/r/bitcoin

BCH – https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/

Monero – https://www.reddit.com/r/monero/

NANO – https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/

Price Speculation – https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptocurrency/

STEEMIT

Steemit was one of the first blockchains to focus on social media. In return for posting content and posts, users may win Steem tokens, which are essentially money. Along with this, they can also like and dislike the available posts. Because of the native utility of crypto on the platform, they obviously have a majority of crypto-related content.

TELEGRAM

https://telegramcryptogroups.com/

Telegram is seen as a competitor of WhatsApp as it is also a chatting App. Numerous Crypto professionals have made groups. Some of these groups require little payment while there are some groups that are also free.

MEDIUM

https://medium.com/search?q=crypto

Medium is referred to as a backer on the community of Crypto. Albeit it does not directly belong to the direct digital currency community. Medium could further be explained as a microblogging site, and it is also a renowned place for Crypto Content.

DISCORD

Similar to Telegram, discord has live chats and servers dedicated to various crypto communities.

Why is Exclusive Or (XOR) Important in Cryptography?

Image
If you are getting into cryptography, or just trying to understand the fundamentals, you may have noticed that the exclusive-or operation is used quite often, especially in ciphers. What is XOR ( ⊕ )? XOR, or “exclusive or” operates on binary data. It returns true if both of its inputs are opposites (one false and one true), otherwise, it returns false. An example in go code would be something like: func exclusiveOr(a bool, b bool) bool { return a != b } XOR Cipher – The Perfect Cipher The XOR operation can be used as a simple cipher for encrypting and decrypting messages with a single key. This is known as symmetric encryption. It is interesting to note that if: The key is the same size as the message The key is kept secret and generated truly randomly Then the cipher is impossible to crack. This is known as a one time pad . However, a simple XOR shouldn’t be used in production due to the key length needing to be too long to be practical. Cipher Example A...

Base64 vs Base58 Encoding

Image
By Lane Wagner –  @wagslane  on Twitter Base64 is one of the most popular encoding formats for representing data. Have some binary data? Base64 encode it for convenient readability and parsing. Base58 is just another encoding format (with 58 characters instead of 64, and has gained popularity largely due to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. When it comes to data encoding, there is typically a trade-off made between: Human Readability: Do humans have a good idea of what is being represented at a glance? Efficient data compression: How many bytes are used to represent the same data? Let’s rank Base58, Base64, and ASCII encoding against each other using these metrics! First: A Note on Binary All data is stored in a raw binary format on computers. These encoding formats (Base64, Base58, and ASCII) are just different ways of reading and writing binary data. For example, in Base64 the binary code 000000 represents the letter A , but in ASCII the binary 00000000 repres...

(Very) Basic Intro to Hash Functions (SHA-256, MD-5, etc)

Image
This is going to be a basic introduction to hash functions. I will assume most of my audience is here to gain an understanding of why hash functions are used and the basic idea of why they work. My goal is to explain it in a general sense, I will be omitting proofs and implementation details and instead focusing on the high-level principles. Why Use A Hash Function? Hash functions are used all over the internet in order to securely store passwords, find duplicate records, quickly store and retrieve data, and more. For example,  Qvault  uses hashes to extend master passwords into private encryption keys. A longer list of uses here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function#Uses I want to focus on several important features of hash functions, arguably the most important features. Hash functions scramble data deterministically No matter the input, the output of a hash function always has the same size The original data can not be retrieved from the scrambled d...
