Blockchain technology brings added transparency and security to crowdfunding campaigns, and the use of smart contracts automates the fundraising process and ensures fair and transparent allocation of funds.

Crowdfunding itself is not new to anyone. However, we are trying to bring it to a new level of accessibility, usability, and cost-effectiveness.

There have been several attempts to revive my syprog.blogspot.com blog on system programming. Now, I believe, it's either do it or leave it.

The first thought was “why would someone write an entire book on a thing like pointers?” But then, thinking to myself that books are not written for merely having been written, I took a glance at the free sample and took some time to read the comments.
