Always Moving Forward with Rust/Parity

It been a while since my last post mainly cause ive been implementing alot of DApps and refining my skills on Solidity. But ethereum is not all about Solidity.

In my first first few posts, i mentioned the technologies i was using.
mainly Geth, for running ethereum nodes. However Geth is alot slower and much better implementations are now available that makes use of different languages.

This post is me moving forward to Parity.

Parity is an Ethereum client, written from the ground-up for correctness-verifiability, modularisation, low-footprint and high-performance. To this end it utilises the Rust language, a hybrid imperative/OO/functional language with an emphasis on efficiency.

So let the learning begin.

First Environment. Ive tried installing on Mac/Windows/Linux.
at some point i want to be adding or developing for Parity (apparently a good market for developers). Im going to Opt for an Ubuntu environment.

Rust programming language

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.
So i want to build Parity from the source. in order to do that i first need to install Rust on ubuntu using Curl.
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
On ubuntu after installing Rust i install Parity Next
bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -L) -r stable

after installation is complete i can now start parity
$ ./target/release/parity


Now we are all set. Before we start with any DApp or Parity component. we First need to learn a little Rust (Similar to C++)

Lets Begin and Move Forward

Solidity Hash of Structs (Testing hash uniqueness)

So ive been informed by one of my Advisee ( Rain de Castro )  that when hashing a Struct in Solidity, the hash is the same for 2 data that is different. So i did a few tests with the following Code pragma solidity ^0.4.0; contract testHashAresh{ //Declare a struct similar to C++ struct Person{ string fullName; string number; } mapping (bytes32 => Person) allPersons; function returnHash(string _name, string _time) constant returns (bytes32,bytes32) { Person memory p = Person(_name, _time); bytes32 hash2 = sha256(p); bytes32 hash = sha256(_name, _time); return (hash2, hash); } } True enough The returned value for a data "Aresh","555" 0: bytes32: 0xac9c046be90fd91b4a31b9d04bb937659e885264dd8e6b8a7c9e79b806ef3ead 1: bytes32: 0x5ffc903b2aee670ea38ec2c35a8c5b8ac04754cf77536dd89d4d9985c4fd110f while the data for "Armin","555" is 0: bytes32

Is Making the Crypto Space Legally Compliant Paving the Road to Mass (Blockchain) Adoption?

Image
Image Source The rise of blockchain has pushed crypto currencies to the forefront and enabled them to reach more and more people every day.  And while crypto mass adoption has been visible more than ever with currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, others didn’t have such an easy time taking off.  Bitcoin accumulation has created an abundance of wealth for those who own it, while Ethereum has provided business opportunities via creations like smart contracts. But there were also cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and SpaceBit, and, most famously, Ethereum’s DAO that failed quickly after the launch because of unclearly mapped progression paths, bad publicity, security breaches, and unethical behavior.  In that sense, many people believe that the reason for these shortcomings is the absence of regulations and frameworks that prevent bad business practices and malicious behavior. The continued ability to conduct all these activities in the sector, unchecked, has resulted in the crypto market be

Parity installation on Ubuntu Virtual Machine

Image
Im going to be installing Parity on a Virtual Machine. My current OS is a Windows 10 and use the following settings installing ubuntu should be by downloading the ISO and creating a new VM on oracle virtual machine and attaching the ISO file and running setup until you have installed Ubuntu. To Install Parity on your Ubuntu. Open the terminal window and type away: >sudo apt-get install rustc cargo >sudo apt-get install curl >bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -Lk) >sudo apt-get install snapd >sudo snap install parity-ui >sudo apt install npm >sudo snap install parity OPTIONAL:  (a just in case all the above fails and i dont know what those mean, you would want to do this) go to PARITY.IO download and install the parity debian build for ubuntu once installed. you can now see Parity and Parity UI in your applications Running Parity from the Applications Menu: click on parity first to open the terminal while keeping the terminal open c
