so yeah what happens is, the bfpg*gU is jsut burned. in the network, ie. it goes to an unspendable adrress or the nullptr or wtv you wanna call it. then there are two kinds of validators in ethereum, block proposer (i guessed the name as bundler) and attesters (i guessed the name as checkers) {my names are cooler right?}
so the bundler bundles your transaction and proposes it to the network, and the checkers check the transaction .
so the thing is all pending transactions go into the mempool.
the bundlers are randomly chosen (weighted by stake remember) and then they can just any transaction from the mempool they wanna validate (ofc theyll prolly choose the highest tip one, which is why you often need to tip more, especially if network is heavy right now, but you also dont wanna tip tooo much, cos youll just waste eth... hmmm this is just game theory lmao... interesting)
so i mean yeah, the bundler does the computation work and then he gets pfpg*gU (pfpg is just the tip defined above) , and then the bundler and all the checkers, also get some newly minted eth as another incentive for doing work, so that even if everyone is tipping less, there is still 'some' incenctive to verify transactions.
i mean btw the priority queue only exists till the bundler part, once the bundler chooses your transaction, there is no more priorirty queue, your transaction will be added to the blockchain by checkers.
now the gas limit thing is itneresting. cos if youre just doing a simple thing, like spending money, there is no issue, jsut set gL=21000 and your ok (you can set it to more than that too and the rest of the gasLimit just wont be used)
but the thing is there are more complex things you can do on ethereum that takes more than 21000 gas, so you should set a gL to sort of cap your losses in case of a bad program or something.
so gL is only relevant when im playing around w other things (like maybe smart contracts or any other thing right) like say i set gL=1,000,000 and then like in this weird ass program, the imbecile programmer wrote an O(n^2) algorithm (n is the nth time you interact), so for the first 1000 times, my transaction(or like say operation or wtv i was trying to do) is succesful, and in the ith time, i pay i^2(mpfpg+bfpg) [assuming ofc this is more than mfpg*i^2... but in the say 1001st transaction, i'll still pay 1,000,000*(mpfpg+bfpg) but then the program is still not done running, so my transaction is not even succesful, so essenitally i just wasted 1,000,000*(mpfpg+bfpg) eth...
so ig gL sort of caps your losses in case of bad program
so now kids, you can understand that when people on twitter are complaining about high gas fees, theyre really complaining about high bfpg or maybe that everyone around them is tipping too much, mpfpg.
damn ts took 30 mins, maybe i should not recap lmao. wtv.
i did get a couple of ideas for the hackathoon (im prolly gonna keep getting stupid ideas till i get better):
set a max time, and then probabilistically choose the best time to send your contract through to minimises gas fees
(ig already exists, "most walletsn aoutomatically set a recommended tranasaction fee (base fee+recomended priority fee) to reducwe the amount of complexity on users"
bundle transactions together to minimies gas fees per person
but hmm vitalik really changed the world huh, so much stuff built around ethereum, started by just a smart kid whos passionate about something. this is so inspiring man. he just did what interested him, you cant chase the next big thing, you gotta make the next big thing man
5:25 am
so i took a small break, watched a few reels and saideep's dance video... btw stuff like gd (iitd event) really tells me i wanna be different, i wanna be the best man. i promise im going to come to iit delhi's graduation in a ferrari or some shit. but anyways yeah, tiredness starting to kick in a lil, but idgaf, ill keep working,
gonna blow my nose and then we back at it
5:34 am
yup im back... two thins man, its actually crazy right, that if i just do this every sinlge day, im actually going to change the world.
secondly, i thought about the bundle transactions so less gas fees idea and its actually kind of cool, like im getting so many ideas of how we could do it... like maybe thered be one centralised account, everyone can "send" money to friends, but really all money will be stored in the centralised account, we cna do cryptographic proofs to show that yeah i have this much money in my wallet which i was trynna send to my friend, like a key for each transaction of sorts but yeah, i mean interesting idea...
btw what do we think chat hahahahhahahahahahaha wthelly man but yea back to work
i think i need to go and learn how blocks work rn... reading the dev docs lesgoooo!!!!
5:47 am
im kinda tired but no bitch, im not tired; just say youre fresh and im fresh now, lets get it!!!
6:30
i js kinda lost momentum, wathced some reels, imma go to ccd now, maybe drink a coffee and be bacl, actually fuck that, lets just take a bath nigga, lets go
6:43
perfect, i feel really fresh right now, lets get back to work... btw that reduced gas fees thing feels soooo interesting to me ahahaha, lets go so much stuff to learn man... quick shower, listening to on one in october (remix of two songs, genuinely a banger) and the thing is i know on one tonight fully, so i could rap the whole thing in the shower too... got hype to let's go and vibed, and now we back and ready to learnnnn lets go gang
just one small thing, in like boxing and ig in many sports, there are two kinds of ppl, the really serious grinders, and the niggas who just have fun with it.... i wanna be the second one, im literally living my dream, just having fun man, its really not that serious, just enjoy the process and learning cool things gng
n64 frappe land final lap, mario kart ds on loop. fun times.
6:56
//how does bitcoin hashing work?
I get what the EVM means, big computer where all ethereum related computation happens... ok.
so devs can upload their code onto evm (for a price) and then ppl can run devs codes with their own parameters (again for a price)
man im just actually dead rn, i think
7:33
man im jsut going to sleep for a while, will wake up at 10 and speedrun ai before the 11 am class, then will study shit wahi pe.. lets get it.
_________________________
8:06 PM
dang i couldnt wake up at all... its the next day now...
lets get back to work.
you just gotta go be the best ever right, like the mony method only works if you actually dedicate every single moment to being the best ever. i mean honestly man, just go have fun... do remember tho, you have all the time to achieve everything btu no time to waste. by the end of this year i wanna be tangibly good and by the start of this academic year i wanna actually be good enough to dropout. lets fucking work man. you got to be the best. but listen, if you just have fun, all of this will organically happen, so just have fun adn grind lesgo
8:41
ok i get what the EVM is and at a very basic level what smart contracts are...
____________
2:51 am
i think its high time to "JUST DO IT"
I know I can be the best ever. I know that for a fact that im smart enough, so you cannot be ok with kids around you being better than you or doing more than you. actually fuck kids around you, you cant be ok w kids anywhere doing or being better than you. lets go get it
_______________________________
12:27 pm 13 August 2025
I just woke up. Drank chai and showered, now we gonna work all day long. forsure. waluigi pinball mario kart ds music (final lap) on loop. i wanna learn so much stuff today its not even funny. so let's go then, have fun and lets go be the best ever!!!
AllTheWayUp
hmm this seems interesting...
3:10 pm
man now its time to really just have fun, im at ammy's cafe in sda, im locked in and ready to grindddddd mf.. lets get it. crypto kiddo
woohoo so excited bruh
ok so blocks:
data is stored in a block. like your transaction needs to be added to a block to be succesfull (the bundlers do ts) and the chain part means that each block cryptographically refers to its parents. fair enough.
I mean yeah, the proof of stake mechanism is already kinda clear, you stake eth to become a validator, at which point, you can be randomly selected to propose a new block (bundler) and the other validators will check it ect.
wait actually i think i understand hashing stuff too
so like sha-256 is some algorithm, i dont really care about the detaisl, the mixing seems boring, but yeah, given any data you can look at its hash
like hash is yk the 64 digit thing, but yeah mony has this hash this ok.
and like this hash is in hex...
so like any data you put, yuore gonna get a hash out of it, simple enough.
then we move onto this thiing called block, where instead of just one parameter, put data in get out hash; you instead get three parameters;
first is the block no. hmm ok, then there is obv the data. then the tthird parameter is something called nonce.
so i mean block number and data make sense right obv, but then we ok, so first
we define a block as special (signed) if it starts with 4 zeroes (say) so obv this has probability=\frac{1}{16^4}
so the thing is block number and data will be fixed, like obv. but the nonce is the thing you can change, like you can increment nonce one by one and see oh does my hash begin w 4 zeroes yet or not, and when it does, voila youve mined! i mean yeah, like in this case
block number is 1, data is mony, and the first nonce to hit 4 zeroes is 17922....
then when we move onto blockchain, there's another parameter, which is the prev block's hash. so i mean this makes so much senes actually, cos like if you want the chain to be valid at all points, like say i change just the last block, then i'll have to mine one nonce. that takes wtv time. but if i change say the second last block's data, then both this block and the next block break, or become invalid (ofc w high probability, maybe it doesnt break but obv very low probability of that)
so i'll have to mine this block and then the next block. so to change the data at one point, youll have to go forward and change all that stuff tooo. intereting,
so i mean distributed blockchain also makes sense then, youll have say three people, each has a copy of the whole blockchain (sooo much space damn) but yeah, if one guy changes and mines too , he still disagrees with the rest of two, so by majority youll say something is wrong
i mean perfect, in the data coloumn you can have like "tokens" and i mean yeah
so i mean thats the point of including prev too, cos you see in the last transaction, we have 14.12 going from denis to edmu, so does denis even have 14$ ? i mean thats the point right, in blockchain you dont have bank balance just the transactions right. so you can go back to prev and check right. perfect... im eating pancakes and studying math. so much fun stuff. btw vitalik is actually so inspirational right, he was just interested in stuff and he did this right, dont gotta follow nothing, just do what you want to man. let's keep going, gonna go to the washroom rq and then we're back.
4:25 back to it like we never left
so yheah ethereum is basically a computer built on top of the blockchain right. all nodes keep a copy of the state of this computer, and anyone can put out a request to carry out a computation on this computer, ither nodes can verify validate and carry out that computation. the requests for computation are called transaction requests, the record of all transactions and the EVMs current state is stored on all the nodes.
i mean yeah perfect, cryptographic magic can ensure once a transaction is succesful, you cant go back and chane it, also like digital signtures or stuff like private keys can ensure only alice can send money from alice's account yay
wow actually gas fees are not a problem at all, bfpg is just like 1.5 gwei (giga wei, wei=10^(-18) eth) and like required mpfpg is like 0.5 gwei so like 2gwei*20,000 gas is like just a few cents. crazy lol, i thought it would be much more.
i kind of understand what a blockchain is now, like you take the prev hash, block number, token data, and mine a nonce to get a valid block etc right perfect. and then the EVM will like store the whole blockcahin... im still confused about smart contracts tho, so like I write a smart contract, whihc is basically a program, then for whatever fees, I can deploy it onto the EVM? so then like all nodes will also store my program right.and then anyone can run that program with their own parameters, or like request to run, and then ofc the bundler validator (what was teh real name lol, block proposer?) who was randomly chosen will run it on his own local computert following the EVM protocol and then the other validators will run it on their EVMs to validate it, and then my program runs? is that it
and i mean yeah, thats exactly it.
you can make your smart contract arbitraliy complex, you can make like games, marketplaces anything (idk why you would do that lmao but you can) so sometimes these are called dapps or decentralized apps.
5:33 pm
man honestly, im so fuckied tired right now, like i feel kinda sick or wtv but you know what i really dont care at all. at fucking all, just go get it still. speerdun nigga
moo moo farm on loop lmao. lets go.
so i mean burning makes a lot of sense... nowadays the bfpg is known before you send in your tx, but before EIP-1559 this was not the case... sometimes when you do a transfer block right, the bfpg is more than the newly minted eth, so the overall supply of eth shrinks for that block. another cool reason why bfpg exists and doesnt just go to validator is cos then validator could just choose his own tx and then do it for zero fees, hmmm but cant they still do that:
hmm but can this still not happen? like not 0 cost, but like the validator could just have a bunch of his tx at 0 mpfpg , ofc they wont go through cos no other validator would choose them, but the moment this validator is chosen, he would select his tx to go through, still doing it for essentially zero (well actually base fee) but thats gonna happen anyways; i mean so ig for like cheaper than everyone ellse
chatgpt told me yes but it doesnt really matter, ok then moving on. you can query ether too, like you can ask how much eth and specifc wallet has
dapps basically means smart contract+ a frontend UI
once smart contracts are deployed on the network you cant change them, btw noticce that smart contracts are basically like APIs theres no requirement that your dapp use a smart contract writetn by you.
actually so fucking valid. i like the zero downtime and resistance to censorship and the no permission required thingy (like anyone can use the app, dont need apply to "verify" your app) benefit of dapps but the drawbacks are so fucking real.
eth guys are actually cool asl for writing this too.
lmao blockchain twitter seems cool.
ohhh also, like the fact that you dont need permission is so cool, cos like banks can ban companies, like no i iwll not accept your payments, or like the whole russia thingy, that wont happen on blockchain. wow this is seriously cool stuff.
oh wow i dint know eth was a peer to peer mesh, like how data propogates in eth is each node has a few neightbours, and then it propogates via like "gossip" (yeah thats a real term lmao)... hmmm veryyyy interesting... so like the bundler is chosen randomly weighted by stake obv and then it propogates. all the nodes in the network validate the tx, but only the validator (checker) nodes validation counts towards assetations or smthng. this is seriously so cool. man i really wanna study graph theory tooo!!!! ahhhhhh lesgooo. just working is so much fun, jsut do not stop. youre literally becoming the best ever i promise....
lmao mario kart music is actually just gaoted, im having so much fun. i gotta have this kind of urgency sort of, like not even urgency, its like i just want to work, i dont care about anything else, i just wanna work.... i should do this every single day@@!!R14i'gup98
6:25
damn so i worked non stop till now, laptop is bout to be discharged tho, so i need to go back to my room, no worries, had to take a small break anyways gng, we back at it when back tho woohooo
7:37
wee back in my room, again tired, but lets keep going gng. lots of work to do, just enjoy it.
8:25 pm
im actually just fucking exhausted, cant even think staright, idgaf tho, cos just have fun
10:45
im at the blocksoc meet, still studying stuff woohoo
an account in eth has 4 main thingies:
nonce is just the amount of transactions that account has dne... (prevents double running of contracts, cos if you run contract number 14 once, your nonce increase to 15, you cant do 14 again. works for both EOA and smart
balance: obv
CodeHash (only for smart contracts, normal externally owned contracts are just the empty string hash)
this is just the hash of the code you write in the smart contract . the actual bytecode will be on the evm state machine, hash is just so you can look it up whenver its called.
2:20 am
ok wow.
i know nothing, i mean thats fair cos i havent worked either. i mean jsut sort of look around and like yk sometimes i think baout what to do, but the fact is i dont even know enough stuff at all, what am i an expert at? go be THE expert at things and then you can even talk man.
at the blocsoc meet this was kinda inspirtational, liek this kind of stuff i know absolutely nothing about, and im just surprised at the knowledge people have, kids my age right. you gotta make good use of your time for real now, like for real, that is an absolute prereq, like you asbolutely have toooo make the best use of every single day and work extremely hard. every single day. without question, thats like a given man, and then you see the results. this inspired me so much man, enough bruh, i wanna see what my final form is now. go work hard every single day and learn cool shit every single day and then see where you get.
Nah actuually fr, I got to at minimum work my absolute hardest every single day, theres just so much stuff I want to do.
Anyways, thats really kind of it but right now, another interseting thing.
call me DDP cos I really knid of have plot armor man.
like I genuinely know nothing about blockchain, absolutely nothing, they were in the meet when discussing ideas talking about stuff and i couldnt even understand what they were talking about bruh. i mean i couldnt even say nothing cos i dont know nothing. we just decided on sahitya's idea of using eerc for collaterals. this would have been so bad, cos i wouldnt have been able to help him at all. he would make the whole plan, tell me to write some code, i woulda chatgpted it, and like it would have just been a complete waste of time. and like just been another complete failure man. i cant be ok with taking l's. tkaing any L or looking at people better than me or saying some bs man, that shit should piss me off. really have a big ass ego man, and then just dont give a fuck what anyone else is doing adn do things your way and go be the best ever.
but anyways, yeah, i had pretty much accepted another failure, but suddenly, for some reaosn i dont even fullyunderstand (basically there was some overlap with the other teams ideas lmao) hyeah, we scrapped our idea. so now I have all of tonight, and maybe tomorrow, cos the thing is, now we're back to zero. we have no idea at all. So yeah this shit is open for me now, I can work really hard, get up to date on all of this stuff and think of cool ideas till tomorrow evening i guess.
This is such a perfetc opportunity, just studying math all day, my way, and also there is kind of urgency, and no limits, and an opportunity to do something actually tangible. Really man, fuck everything else, i dont give a fuck. How can you give a fuck about tired, sleepy, distracted, cant work anything when you can go and achive all your dreams. this is really kind of a crazy opportunity. perfect opportunity to wokr hard and learn so much cool stuff, and actually do something with it.
I really am going to get it. now that the motivation is out of the way. go be a menace man, just have fun, i just wanna learn so much stuff right now, lets get it.
3:21 am
ok we took a shower and now we're ready to get to it. lets get to work then. the journey to being the best ever starts right now, 14 august 3 am.
just keep going. lets just get it. im just going to keep going, i promise.
battle mode hurry on version is on loop.
perfect.
3:47 am
im very sleepy rn, does not exist btw, no sleep fuck you, so im skipping all the math and im just going to study "blockchain" right now
actually fuck it, i can learn anything nigga 4:16 am
5:39 am
i just speedran clrs ch 10 in like 20 mins, ezpz, fuck nigga do more tho. anyways yeah then i did alexandr wangs last problem on codeforces, ok
got the floor(n/2) bound and consturctuon pretty much instantanesouly. i was thinkning ok i might start cp again cos it would be fun to be good, but then now im like, man you stopped for a reason right. theres a reason i promised myself i wont do this shit in college, just trust YOUR process. man go speedrun this theres so mich blockchain stuff you gotta elarn still. damn.
5:52 am
i just speedran chapter 11 of clrs (in 13 mins) lmao... i think i sort of understand hashing now... actually this might be an interesting idea, speedrun right, ive wanted to speedrun stuff, speedrunnign and learning lots of techniques might be fun.... i think i might be able to speedrun all of clrs in one day for some slight relaxed definitions of all of and one day. right now tho i need to speedrun all of blockchain in one day for a not so relaxed definition of blockchain and one day lmao.
6:04 am
oh yea i was reading about merkle trees (why tf man? lmao read quicker and move to EERC and chain and stuff bru, its ok)
So i mean im reading the merkle trees paper, and its genuinely surprising how i understand all of math so easily. i might actually be a math genius. not even kidding man. elmo and smmc alraedy showed it but anyone time you just focus, the proof shows itself. you gotta maximise your potential haha. anyways, yeah i get what a good hash function is (they define in paper; georg beckr merkle trees),and i mean i undetsand lamport one-time signature scheme (is this leslie? yes it is lesli lamport lmaooo)
6:27 dang i got distracted by codeforces
ok listen, when you become good at math, all this will come iteslf, but yo dont need to prove anything to anyeone, theres no point in looking smart at iit infornt of niggas whore gonna be working just a normal office job their entire life when there are kids your age raising millions.
I could understand winternitz if i wanted to but its just some random shuffling, i dont really care right now man. gotta do blockchain ahh
7:34 am
hmmm so i thought a couple times lets just sleep but then i was like nah, this is it.
7:40 am
haha this is so much fun. rainbow road music, just studying stuff
RLP is an encoding scheme, that can encode smallish strings, intergers and arbitrarily complex lists... i guess you can learn this if you feel like? Encoding stuff realls seems cool to me... actually very cool.
in smart contracts view (only view blockchain, not modfiy it) and pure (neither view nor modify) functions dont cost gas.
btw i just remembered, during my shower tonight, i think i sort of discovered gray coding.
or like basically the problem to prove that the d dimensional cube has connectivity = d , its basically equivalent to finding n permutations of [n] such that for any two permutations, set of numbers up till i is never the same (except obv i=n) this is true cos then you can just like if you wanna find a path between (0)^n to (1)^n; at the ith move for the jth path, just move wj[i] right. i think you can do this by greedy.
7:57 am
remember, competition is for losers. trust the process gng.
8:35 am
blockchain isnt even that new and sitll so much cool stuff has already been built... so many people man, working hard has got to be a given. merkle patricia trie, so many times im hearing this
9 am
dang i gotta sleep for a while now, if i can think of something REALLY good, we can even stark working on hackathon day so thats no biggie, but like my eyes pain i feel kinda sick but ig the point is to jsut keep doing this every single day and youre gonna become so mcuh better every single day, and soon youre gonna be realllyyyy good, like once you start seeing the results, ofc theres gonna be no turning back. you can see results without even working hard, so just imagein when we keep doing this... damn. dont even gotta imagine, it is going to happen.
5:33 pm 14 August
good morning man. do your BEST.
i mean i think i should honestly just have fun right now, but just dont stop, the more you do the better you get
6:22 pm very interesting man...
8:15
just learning, got a cool idea; subnetify in a click.
16 August 2025 1ish am
I mean we're in mumbai now... Today was very fun, I went to Taj and it's really like, just have fun and go achieve all your dreams man. thats really it. lets get it then.
just have fun and go be the best ever... im rooming w arnav bhaiya which is very cool. gonna speedrun as much of the crypto book as i want to.
3:39 AM
man i was just so tired, cos like i havent slept like much at all these past two days...
i was like lets go to sleep. i watched a couple reels, so fucking stupid, i was like nah man this cant be my life... i need to be the beset ever, who gives a fuck about tired or wtv, i jsut need to go and achieve my dreams right. like I literally just want thsi, i dont give a fuck about nothing else, at all. all i care about is learning cool stuff right and being the best ever. arnav panchila bhaiya was studying all night too, and like a bunch of factors, i just decided, lets go get it then.
I took off my shirt and in my boxers i went outside for a run... it was raining heavily, i took like 3 rounds of gateway of india and taj, looked at the sea for a while, and i was like ok im going to get it. now we're back, i dont care, lets just go get it then. just have fun, this is literally your dream. tired wtv its all just in the mind, i just know i have to be the best ever, icant be ok if im not. so lets go lets go lets goooooo.
confidence hood trap playing on loop,
All The Way Up
4:40 am
lmao this is so fun, we're both just studying right now... lets jist keep goingggg: con't forget on loop now!!@@
diffie hellman:"today we stand on the brink of a new direction of cryptography"
i wanna make a statement like that very soon.
5:07 am
i just ordered mcdeez, lets lock in and work man... like this is something i gotta work on, im not wasting itme but im not that productive either. lets change this
5:22 am
btw there are some really cool people at iit delhi too.. hmm im inspired,,, lets workkkkk, you gotta work a lott gng, but i love it
also man like fr there are no excuses, i say this again and again, but you have to have funnnnnn woohooo and just dont stop
6 am
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh just dont stop. i will not stop before 8
9:38 am
well, the hackathon begins
Idea is EERC for railgun
man i looked at alexandrwang.com via wayback machine..
bro, for real, just go have fun man.
lets get it...
ok listen, i really need ot start entering the flow start soon, like eveyr day, man like my dream life, i can have that, start wokrign, and i just do not stop at all, lets demo it right here gng, im obv smart enough right, so the only thing i need to do now is work every single moment... not even that, the only thing left to do now is to just do whatever i want to every single moment now.
i really wanna see what happens when i jsut do my best, when i work non stop, i really wanna find out man. you kind of have to now, letsgetit.
18 august 1:16 am
the hackathon happened. if i learnt one thing during this whole ordeal; it was that i can actually go get it. im clearly smart enough, and im smart and im smart (ie. have conviction)
let the process start now. i am going to stick to the plan now and just have conviction and do what i want to do. we completing the 60 day challenge by 18 October, kuku's birthday. and thats on god and errything i love nigga, i mean its really perfect, this shti is all i care about, so just go live your dream life then; just have fun and work all day and mainly, overdo it man. lets get it, im in the flight back to delhi right now, we're just gonna have fun all flight. letsgogng.
1:30
I think the goal for this flight is to speedrun CLRS, at least 90% of 10 chapters, thats the aim, lets see then.
2:04 am
lmao i woke up to red bull all over me, fuck it we ball
3:03 am
dang i slept again and woke up to even more red bull on me, wtv iiwii
3:14 am
lmao i just kept sleeping, but ok, this also showed me something, eveyr single night fromnow, i will only go to sleep when i am like this.
5:35 am
We're back in college. back at my room. man, it really starts right now. it really does, lets go have fun now :D
6:52 am
I just spent some time formatting my day 6 and day 7 blogs, im gonna post daily blogs every single time before i go to sleep now. i promise man. do so much every single day that you want to share this stuff right, one thing is just have fun and just do not stop, thats the main thing, just dont stop, no matter what.
JUST KEEP GOING
let's just go get it now man
All The Way Up
