12-27, 11:00–13:00 (Europe/Berlin), CDC Pentagon
This is a monero-beginner-friendly workshop for nerds, bring your computer to follow along and by the end you will have a monero wallet in your terminal and understand how to use it.
A wallet is the basic building block of any cryptocurrency. For beginners, holding your own keys may be a new concept - and it requires some understanding of what the software is and how to use it. Moreover, the space of crypto is filled with scams and downloading a malicious wallet software can lead to losing all coins.
To ease the onboarding, I'll go into some basics for Monero-beginners: Where to find good information, how to install a wallet and initialize it & how to connect to a remote note - or maybe even run your own?
In the later part of the workshop we can also cover how to build on the corner stone of the monero wallet. Maybe implement a payment solution ourselves with some simple code? The possibilities are bountiful and best of all: You have to ask nobody for permission to get started.
As this is a workshop, the session is interactive and questions are encouraged.
I am Monero enthusiast since 2017 and a self-taught web developer since 2019. Besides Monero, I enjoy NixOS, Emacs, vim-motions, open source in general and digital self-sovereignty.
