well done.. i was thinking of same from long time.. great to find this.. will be using this.

this worked

Registration Fees: $6 million dollars per year... how come sending sms cost so much?

I think we can write a big article on this.it drills down to 2 option

1. Upload all your photos to personal cloud such as google/apple/dropbox 2. Self host a similar cloud service such as photoprism (https://www.photoprism.app/)

Both have pros and cons and depending on your technical skills you can opt for option 2 of self hosting.

Option 1 will cost but privacy and getting locked out of account by company is big problem.

I personally use option 2 and feature wise its similar to big companies. let me know if you need more details about option 2.

Electricity will not be a problem for the world in the next 30 years... 1. We will all move to renewal or nuclear

2. Bitcoin will decentralize more as the miners will move where electricity is cheaper and thus will cover geography of whole world hydro,thermal,solar,wind etc.. 3. Bitcoin can be the main chain and all side chains can rollup and commits. 4. The btc uses will be huge and there will be no dearth of transaction fees..

On point 4, when do these “huge uses” start to appear?

Bitcoin’s been around for what… 13 years now? Seems to be speculators, scammers, money launderers, and phishing/hacking rings still.

Everything that tries to accept bitcoin for payment seems to stop doing so relatively quickly.

It’s intentionally deflationary so anyone who holds a bitcoin is incentivized to hold it, not use it.

Just bizarre.

Companies are holding BTC instead of treasuries, nations are issuing Bitcoin bonds, millions of people are buying in as governments print themselves into sinkholes..

Where is the use case?

Bitcoin already proved its use case years ago, it already won. The only question now is how far can it go.

this is need of the hour..

and the current people in America often says 'go back foreigners' .. whereas they themselves were the outsiders..leaving the past as mistake the current generation of America should allow talent (who can contribute to society in anyway and not try to create havoc) and should not create rules to restrict based on religion or belief system.

I wanted to contribute in the backend project ...but when I opened the project..the basic coding standards are missing..i know this is open source and can be fixed but all over the files i see commentated code the logging is out of place... I work in a Big European bank so maybe i was hoping for a more matured code but this code needs a fresh look...

Appreciate your efforts and thus some pointers to start: 1. Add liquibase into your project. 2. Add logging into a project. 3. Use Spring Boot if possible 4. Use an ORM framework like JOOQ may be?

Have a look at Jhipster, they are pretty good with their bootstrap projects.

yes ... you are correct .. the code on the backend side ... and also for Admin-app - needs refactoring ... i was planning that ... its just the matter of when i find some time !

I wont recommend anyone to contribute (for backend and admin app) until the refactoring is done !

I had been searching for some good project - Example for backend code ... but i was not really able to find one for Java ... for building REST API !

It was quite a struggle to work ... due to lack of proper tutorials and lack of good example projects ... for backend ...

But anyway ... your suggestions are very useful ... using Spring Boot would definitely improve the project ...

And i will also study about the liquibase and logging ...

I was avoiding ORMs but JOOQ seems like a reasonable option !

It is quite useful when experienced developers like you take your time to review and suggest improvements ...

have a look at https://jhipster.tech you can generate a working example code instantly and get started

yes ... i checked out ... i wonder why it took me so much time to find that out ! ...

It would be great if you could keep in touch and post some issues on the Project Repository where you can Guide upon how can we improve the Code ! And what is the best tech-stack we should be using on the Backend side !

I was also thinking of migrating the backend to GraphQL ... But then it doesnt have an option to store images and auth still requires another server ...

Hasura GraphQl seemed like a good option ... because they also used PostgreSQL ...

What are your thoughts about migrating to graphql ...

i have used its very simple to configure with cerbot and best of all its free
