Something is holding cryptocurrency innovation in India.

Am cleaning this up to make it even simpler.

Its a wallet to accept payments through Coinbase and then answer the callback along with page redirection.

It has been requested before, should be open sourcing the code in a day or two.

It validates the withdrawal address as well.

Looks like its not generating any thing now.

Clicked start? Seems fine to me. Its the same code u tested few days back.

Just needs a code cleanup is all.

India is the IT outsourcing hub of the world, there are tens of thousands of tech engineers graduating every year. The IT sector tops the share market..Bangalore,chennai, Hyderabad  and whats not..

But even with all of these what is the role of our country in cryptocurrency ecosystem?

There are hundreds of alt coins and not a single one is from India.

only one or two exchanges are there in India..

There are projects like Etherium, Blockchain 2.0 applications etc..Does anyone from India play any role in it?

I feel something is really holding this nation back inspite of its abundant IT human resource.

Whats your opinion ..

I work in this "IT outsourcing industry", let me tell you the truth about the industry as a whole --- it relies on and merits mediocrity -- most so called IT people cant code to save their life.  

Companies like Infy/Wipro work on numbers - their attitude is if 1 brilliant person can do it -- fill it with 10 mediocre people with low salary and they can achieve it. I can even give you a practical example -- there has been a recent surge on big data -- many of the so called "java experts" (cause hadoop implementation is written in java) jumped in. The most they can deliver is a working code, right from the book. Companies dont want to hire a Yahoo employee cause with his salary they can hire 10 freshers -- shove java and hadoop down their throats, make them work 12 hrs to get something working.

That said, there are intelligent programmers too but many of them wont work until they have a real monetary advantage being presented to them. They will put in hours and hours into some new technology from Oracle just so that they can learn and demand more money in IT using the niche skills.

Alternatively, bitcoin doesnt really interest them ..cause there is no company which considers it a niche skill and will pay 10s of lakhs to hire them.

We are working on a bitcoin project and hiring at competitive pay.

Please get in touch with me, as we have been look for quality programmers and more importantly, passionate about the wide spread adoption of bitcoins.

I can absolutely stand b your word. It is full of IT coolies over innovators.

Basically the problem is IT graduating students are not well familiar with Bitcoin concept , I think we should think on it , Can we try to include some part of bitcoin in their syllabi as they are already studying Cryptography n all ...

Are you serious?..their subject syllabus is decided by the universities..How do you make them accept it in first place.

The syllabus may be decided by the uni's, but the interest in students is normally generated by the professors themselves.

Some Examples:
My cuz did a stall on Bitcoin for her IT fair in Coimbatore at her college. More than 2K leaflets were given out there.
Another example was another cuz studying in Japan, where her lecturer from Germany took few classes on Bitcoin for them.

I have received 3 requests from uni's around South India and 1 from Cal to talk to their students about Cryptocurrencies.

To get universities to start talking about Bitcoin, target lecturers, give small amounts as a reward to them. That will jumpstart a movement across colleges in India.

[dashingriddler]

According to me giving guest lectures or getting engaged in expos is much different from adding bitcoin academically.
Even Vikram presented guest lecture on bitcoin to IIT on behalf of BAI. They also paid for return tickets and stay. But I doubt this getting to main stream academics till govt take some stand on it.

Thats a really great plan and if we really go ahead and do this we are next only to MIT's project of distributing bitcoins to students...We will be on the headlines of coindesk...and if our students come forward and develop apps, Thats really nice to think about..

Students will help dramatically with the build up of the Bitcoin infrastructure.
While reaching out to them directly is a massive effort, especially considering the demographics of India, the low hanging fruit would be to reach out to lecturers and economists.

People who have direct access to the students.

Putting some Bitcoin in their hands and getting them to understand the incentive could bear far greater results.

IIT Patna.
From what I heard there was an announcement in college regarding lecture and any one could attend. Vikram said about 200 turned up. I would say it is a big number.
