I have recently finished rewriting Multiavatar Generator in PHP.

Initially coded in JavaScript, this version of Multiavatar is for PHP-based backend environments.

It is now being used for the Multiavatar API (https://api.multiavatar.com), which became much faster, because before it was a mix of PHP and Node.js, and now just PHP.

You can use it by including the Multiavatar.php in your code, or by installing it with Composer.

More info about the Multiavatar algorithm and design is available in the JS repository (https://github.com/multiavatar/Multiavatar) and in the Multiavatar web-app (https://multiavatar.com), which is based on Laravel 8, Vue.js, and ImageMagick PHP extension.

Your feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Coinwink (https://coinwink.com) is a profitable subscription-based app running on Wordpress.

In total, it has 30k+ registered users, sends hundreds/thousands of daily alerts, tracks 3500+ cryptocurrencies.

Coinwink is open-source. The newest release is available on GitHub: https://github.com/coinwink/Coinwink

You can find more information about the latest Coinwink developments on our blog:

Nimipay source code: https://github.com/giekaton/nimipay

Nimipay is based on the Nimiq JavaScript blockchain. The blockchain that is in your browser and requires no installation. Nimiq is Crypto 3.0 - it provides the level of simplicity that can be intuitively grasped by any layman. Anyone can create and secure Nimiq wallet in seconds.

With the new Nimiq Hub API, it is now super simple to start accepting payments on any website.

Nimiq Hub API: https://nimiq.github.io/hub/quick-start

Powered by the API, Nimipay creates an overlayed UI for the interaction with the user's NIM wallet, shopping cart, and items.

Nimipay allows the user to add items to a shopping cart and pay for them. After the user makes the payment, its transaction hash is returned for the backend validation. Then after the transaction is confirmed, the user receives the new item. It can be seen under the Items tab.

Being a modal window, Nimipay is shown on top of any website, and without the need to re-design the website in order to integrate a webshop.

Nimipay is only ~30 kb. Vanilla JavaScript/PHP, just a few hundred lines of code. Free to use and open source.

Cryptocurrency logos collection with custom user interface and search functionality. Logo files are available for download in high quality (.PNG) and vector (.SVG) formats.

I have made this collection as a by-product of the main Crypto Clothing project. Currently, it is the biggest and most accurate high quality crypto logos collection on the internet.

Yes, I also saw this later.

But for better understanding, I would love to hear more about "embed a copy of content you don't own into a permanently-public record is a greater offense". What is this based on? Are there any known precedents?

That's not a traditional form of re-distribution. In legal terms, I guess it's a gray area.

The article is now on the blockchain. It is not published (re-distributed) anywhere in particular. It's also encoded and not in the actual form of an article.

Laravel or vanilla PHP backend.

But I'm keeping some of my projects on WP, and will continue to update them. There are many reasons why Wordpress is great. Just that now I'm free to use any kind of backend... In 2018 I also worked with Node.js and Firebase, but currently for the server side I prefer PHP.

Hi, this is how I do it:

1. First I read some theoretical info about the new technology that I want to learn. It can be a book, documentation, or the information can be in a form of a podcast or a video. You need some theoretical background in order to understand the core concepts.

2. Then from my ideas list I pick a new project to work on. I then create some sketches, designs and start coding. As a new school coder, I mostly use google for answers regarding syntax, methods, patterns and general best practices.

Sometimes it works the other way around: I first decide on the project I want to create, and then learn the tech that the project requires.

I also closely watch the general tech ecosystem, and pick projects that allow me to learn new things, building upon the previous knowledge. In 2019 this will be less important, because now I have my skillset in place, so the main criteria for picking projects will be the project's potential for commercial success.

Did a lot of learning in 2018.

Finally moved away from Wordpress as a back-end, which I pushed to the limit.

Learned Laravel and greatly improved my skills in vanilla PHP.

Moved from jQuery to Vue.js - it's now my default front-end framework.

Started using CLI and Git regularly.

Learned PWA, service workers, serverless, Web3, some Solidity, more MySQL, server admin, scaling.

Throughout 2018 I was coding all the time on my own, executing my personal projects. It was a great learning experience, and now I finally became a good and productive coder.

This is an achievement, because my first speciality is graphic design and I specialized in it for many years. Now I'm also a competent coder. When I combine design with code, possibilities are endless.
