Very satisfied with my yearly subscription, now 6 months in. Thanks for the great product! Onion link would be great tough, usability in tor browser is rather bad due to cloudflare.
Also the system wouldn't be really decentralized as it needs an oracle and custodian/mint anyways, it just has to be really censorship resistant/private
How will it be exploited? The oracle stealing the money? This would just be a trust problem but trustworthy oracles would emerge I think.
Using it for grammar: OK
Using it to write generic stuff: OK if the content is correct
Using it to sell yourself (e.g. application letters): dumb sht
Yes the schools are nonprofit, purely financed by private sponsors. I think US had one in California but it had to be closed because people sight up just for the benefits you get as student like free housing...
To get accepted you first do an online test, then a 30 day in-presence test (pain :), then if you get accepted you can learn mostly in your own speed (only in presence). The curriculum is done mostly in C and C++ except some more specific projects. So far really satisfied with the projects, they really go in depth and take a fair amount of learning. My campus is great, we have nice Macs, a gaming room, fitness room, free coffee, sleep room (power naps), music room, etc...
The connections you can make are also great as you are surrounded by other motivated students every day.
Tell me if you have any specific questions, otherwise you can probably find information and the nearest campus here: https://www.42network.org/42-schools/
Also completely free to attend, you just have to get accepted (which is not easy).
Best way to get into a coding career IMO.
Currently visiting a 42 coding school, 42 is a worldwide network of privately funded programming schools with a in-presence cose curriculum focused on the fundamentals of programming and computer science in a self paced learning style by p2p learning (no teachers).
Great experience, learned twice as much as in college in the same time.
Buy an used server with ECC Ram, can get those with a reasonably modern CPU and 16gb ecc ram for ~$200
