pool.pm VS cardano-serialization-lib

Pool.pm

Basically, 90% of all music tokens on Cardano are publicly accessible, and pool.pm isn't the best solution for playing tracks back. My idea is basically a public site, where even non-crypto users can access the music. IMO, people do not want to pay to discover new music, but are much more likely to purchase content if they discover an artist they vibe with. Too many music NFT solutions only target the relatively small niche community of crypto users.

The biggest issue, IMO, is the fact that these links are typically publicly accessible. Any token's content can be viewed on pool.pm or extrapolated from the metadata on any block explorer without owning the token. This then begs the question, what is the point of purchasing the token if you have access to the content for free (so long as there is a mint)?

And now to my surprise, trying Cardano Scan and Cardano Explorer and pool.pm, I **was not** able to start with the asset ID of one NFT, retrace the transactions I did to then find all the other NFTs.

Not yet, but till then use https://pool.pm/ put your address, or a adahandle in the search.

You can plug your address into pool.pm to see everything in your wallet without inputting your seed phrase.

To find out if your pool is retiring you can plug the pool ticker into pool.pm and and it will tell you on the pool page. Check this one out as an example:

Its honestly a pretty fun ecosystem. You could just get a few ADA to play around with. Use Nami wallet and then pick a pool to stake to on pool.pm. Its pretty fun

Is it Yoroi? Try going to pool.pm and entering your stake address. That will give you accurate data. pooltool.io will also give you reasonably accurate data on rewards.

You will need cardano-serialization-lib for that. Check out their github repo: https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib

Please allow me to introduce you PyCardano, a Cardano library written in Python. It allows users to create and sign transactions without depending on third-party Cardano serialization tools, such as cardano-cli and cardano-serialization-lib, making it a lightweight library, which is simple and fast to set up in all types of environments.

The Flint backend is open source (https://github.com/dcSpark/cardano-backend), the SDK we manage is open source (https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib/) and the way the wallet works is documented via multiple CIPs (ex: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0030)

Yes, that's dcSparks the team behind Milkomeda ( https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib ), all thanks to them! Catalyst is great but I wonder why isn't IOHK financing this directly, because compensation for this kind of work through Catalyst is not great, considering how much a Rust dev can get in the market and work elsewhere.

Be aware of this issue if you try it.

But anyways, even none of the code examples they list on docs(https://docs.cardano.org/cardano-components/cardano-serialization-lib) or in their github repos(https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib/blob/master/doc/getting-started/generating-transactions.md) work at this point. You can give it a try if you are interested. So I'll pause this project for a while, and report back as soon as it at least functions.

I think CHEFF is referring to https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib

There are a few different Github repositories that server different things -- I'm not sure if there is a list of all of them. The job posting would mostly be related to https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib and the network lib https://github.com/2nd-Layer/rust-cardano-ouroboros-network
