rust-web3 VS ethers-rs

For me, Rust is not about the language, but what you can do with it. One of its coolest applications at the time I started Rust was in blockchain development. Most blockchain clients were written in C, C++, or Go. But Rust was new and used for mainstream blockchain development, so I felt this was the best combination. It was also around that time I started contributing to Rust-based open source projects. I had read and studied a lot of Rust code in 2017, but 2018 was my time writing the actual code. I was exploring the blockchain with Rust and was trying to build a payment system. Its idea was basically what Lazerpay does now, I called it Paysquare back then. The platform was built on Ethereum to collect Ethereum payments. To achieve this, a library called Web3 built by the developers at Ethereum existed. The only problem was that it was only written in Javascript. One of the engineers at Parity, where I later worked, who I would later get to know was pretty big in Blockchain and Rust had a Rust implementation on his Github, but it was unmaintained. Because of what I was building, I had to take over the project and contribute to it, along with other open-source Rust projects. During that period, my portfolio grew quite a bit. I contributed to a lot of open-source projects. Anyway, Paysquare didn’t work out, I think I lost motivation while building it.

If you're deploying on Ethereum or an Ethereum testnet, have a look at this example for the web3 crate: https://github.com/tomusdrw/rust-web3/blob/master/examples/contract.rs

There’s an example in the GitHub docs (https://github.com/tomusdrw/rust-web3/blob/master/examples/contract_log_pubsub.rs) that I’m mostly just kind of copying, and I’ve gotten it to work except for being able to correctly identify the contract address (which should be stored in the accounts array). My code compiles and runs but gives an error when it calls accounts[0] since I have not properly been able to connect to the contract.

I am using https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs library to develop this application.
