Done, alhamdulillaah. This was a challenging experience, and worth every step of the way. Loved the story, the tasks, the challenge. It’s worth it if you know python or javascript. I have to say, however, that the cohorts I did this year with @bitshala_org @CodeOrangeDevs and reading @jimmysong Programming Bitcoin, along with doing all the exercises and tasks in the above went a long way to completing this. It would have taken me easily more than double the time without that year long intro, maybe triple. So if you know nothing about the inner workings of Bitcoin, never engaged with a node via rpc calls, or have no idea what an OP_CODE is, then maybe read up on those things first. Besides this...This is a GREAT way to get into Bitcoin development. It will (or should) expand your mind in what you can do with Bitcoin, and the possibilities with this decentralised censorship resistant Halal money for everyone. And if you want to start this journey, check out above mentioned cohort with Bitshala, CodeOrange or Jimmy’s book. Bitcoin development is part knowledge about coding languages, and part Bitcoin procedures and protocols. How to communicate with the network

This one was a real challenge...Got there in the end

Glad to be a part of this discussion One of the best panel of Bitcoin MENA conference this year 😘

Great interview with Bruce and Saif (Corrected link)

Tbh, for me, whoever didn’t know the US before now, must be totally blind…not slight against the brother, but I was never under any delusion about the US (or the UK) even before I became Muslim.

If anyone wants to join the ‘Learning Bitcoin from command line” cohort. I’m taking part as a TA so all are welcome

Ppl often ask me about the nisaab (& therefore the zakaat) on Bitcoin. The easiest way to see the nisaab is to go to trading view and type the following: XAUUSD*2.733/BTCUSD You can copy/paste that if you want, & it will show you how much coin you need to be above the nisaab. Once you have that value, count 355 days from that point, & if you have stayed above the daily value you see on the side, then you pay zakaat. Not on ramadhaan, but 355 days from the moment you were above that line (assuming you have no other money). Then just pay 2.5% from that.

What this story & similar stories like it fail to capture are the other factors outside of this oversimplified scenario. It DIDN’T talk about how those men earned their money…What fraction of their wealth their payment was, etc. and I don’t even agree with taxes… https://xcancel.com/alanjlsmith/status/1994379528320192580 The rich guy paid £50, but if it was 0.001% of his net worth, while the 5th guy paid 30% of his net worth, the story is now VERY different. If the 1st-5th guy struggles to pay their bills, while the 10th guy has multiple houses & a private jet, these are VERY different ppl. So from a Muslim perspective, what would be a righteous move is if the 10th guy would just say ‘hey guys, this is on me’ and guy 1-9 would say ‘Maa Shaa Allah!!’ And make duaa for him. Everyone winning. This is how it works with us. And the joke is, this is what you see. Just google search the many MANY videos of Muslims in say Saudi Arabia fighting to pay the bill. That’s ’Karan’, and this civilisation. “Whoever protects his own self from the selfishness of his own soul will be from the successful ones.”
