[For Hire] The best programmer in the whole known(and unknown) universe

[Lauda]

Hey this guy has proved himself by me. If you on here any at all you would have seen I been searching for help with the Coiniumserv binary software I purchased to set up and learn about pools and operations. The problem was I bought their binary edition(because I don't know how to code) and was using the Youtube instuctional video to a T. Step for step. The problem was that their precompiled versions have a known issue but to date that if you download the binary edition install it, then your going to have issues with REDIS.

That's proof of having some programming skills. I could have probably done that for you as well.
He has proved nothing so far.

I am sorry to inform you about this. But, turns out, you are the second best, numero due #2 Sad

First of course, is the one and only ndnhc , the God of programming.

Just when I was getting bored. There is a challenger. Now perhaps by the end of this thread we will know who the definitive "Best programmer in the known (and unknown) universe" is.

I accept the challenge.
The war for the position has begun.

My turn first. How good is your KNWOIJSA coding skills? 


P.S. Don't Google it.

So just to summarize, after 9 days of advertising my skills and availability:
- received 13 offers in total
- 6 offers were around gambling, casinos, and other things
- 1 offer was around a chat application, but the buyer apparently says
work for it would start next year, and it's unclear whether that's ever going to happen
- 1 of them was about some work around torrents that turned out to be unpaid work
- 1 of them said he would show up to talk on IRC which he didn't because of technical difficulties(on 2 different occasions, 2 days apart)
- 1 of them was someone that needed help with something and I did help him for free as can be seen above
- 1 of them was about bitshares, which is still unclear to me(hopefuly I'll get some clarification)
- 1 of them was an interesting project involving complicated algorithms and research yet the formulation
of the job offer is "If someone can write this code for me I'm willing to pay good money".
The problem with that, is that there needs to be work done in order to build said software, moreover
it was a research project, yet he was treating it like a fixed price type of project.
I didn't understand that then, nor do I understand it now. But at least he was honest and I appreciate that.
- 1 of them was about building a chess game where each player in a match puts in a sum of money,
and if they won, then they'd take back theirs and the adversary's money. that was a nice project
with good potential but the pay was pretty much crap(~600USD)
- a lot of the offers included propositions of sharing revenue instead of actually paying for the work done.
mostly scams or near-scams and overall red-flags

Now for some more comments:

Buddy bro, I don't care who you are, when you set up a meeting with someone, show up!
Don't tell me your silly excuses that you couldn't set up some proxy..
The guy wasn't able to set up a proxy for his IRC client..
Can you believe that ? Yet he said he wanted to talk over IRC..
Dude, srsly.. that sucks, and you did that twice..

disappointment

I am about to wrap up my semester BUT I have some things that might interest you

Of course, we will use escrow but I am sure we can work something out for the x,y and z.

One includes a joker.org replacement but I havnt been able to develop a proper user database, mainly find an approriate way to distribute torrented files AFTER grabbing them via Transmission. I can go further into details but rather over IRC. Sending you a pm.

Another is a blockchain based project (NOT A COIN) but something a bit better, it expands upon what I was stating earlier

I've spent 3h in total talking to this ^^ guy(@h0lybyte), turns out he wants to share revenue instead of paying and he
has overall very sketchy and unclear ideas(which are unclear to him as well, not just me) or he doesn't
even know how to express them.

disappointment

To recap, I came here to advertise my skills and my availability to work on projects.
Zero actual results so far(that's 0).
This was my experience with bitcointalk so far, hoping for better results from hereon.
My overall impression of jobs paid in bitcoin so far is that they're extremely sketchy, buyers either
don't know what they want, they don't want to pay for it or if they do, they want to pay
very small amounts of money for large projects.

It's something you don't really see in other parts of freelancing websites.

Anyway, cheers to those that have actually been able to do some serious work and get
some gigs on here, although I think there's very few of you.

Rather disingenuous reply, don't you think? Surely the best programmer in the whole known (and unknown) universe knows how corporate firewalls work and why I can't just magically appear at the behest of some random Korean guy on irc.

Happy holidays nonetheless and good luck with your endeavors.

8VprMGOwgoDCXfUf had to compile my code from github and send it to me. He did a great job. Recommended.

So, just to be clear, he didn't actually write any code or fix any bugs.. only downloaded the code from GitHub and compiled it. That doesn't prove he's a good programmer any more than your ability to buy a car and drive it off the lot proves you're a good mechanic. I'm much more impressed with his answer to the FizzBuzz test (in multiple languages, even) than I am with his ability to compile someone else's code.. but even that doesn't prove he's the "best" it only proves (assuming no cheating) that he can write code. I don't doubt that he can write code, but anybody with the slightest amount of common sense and logic is going to doubt someone who claims to be the "best" at anything, especially without proof.

For the record, if OP is "almost 30" as he claims, I was writing code before he was born and knew 5 different programming languages on 3 different computers (Apple II, Commodore and IBM PC) by the time he started school.. it's something I've always enjoyed and I do know what I'm doing, but I'd never claim to be the best. It's also interesting that the "best programmer in the known (and unknown) universe" is interested in search but is looking for work here when you'd think he should be working for Google, Microsoft or Yahoo.

But look what he's accomplished by saying he's the best programmer in the whole known(and unknown) universe. He got more hits that Miley Cyrus flashing her tits.
