Smart contract development

[highperspective]

Do you have some tips for people who wants to start doing smart contract development in on ethereum? I have good skills in python and R, and I know some JavaScript and Node. Any tips appreciated, thanks!

You should learn etheroums open source smart coding language Solidity and follow their tutorials and others on YouTube. Then you’ll be able to set up smart contracts and ICOs. However as a word of caution, depending on where you live, you  shouldn’t advertise that you make smart contracts as in some places they’re not legal and enforceable, leaving you liable for misrepresentation depending on the circumstances.
