Hey Roneil, I'm really new to crypto development and I'm having a hard time finding crypto communities for developers (the one who builds stuff). I've checked out eth's forum but it's not really developer focused, it's too general.

Where do you usually hang out? I would like to learn more about building crypto stuff and would like to participate in a community. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

PS: I have completely no idea what Audius is about, but it sounds cool. Good luck!

Hi there! Unfortunately I haven't found any high-quality online communities of crypto builders - most of my connections to other folks building are offline / irl. Would encourage you to attend local developer groups to get to know others in the space!

There are tons of helpful resources online though, as lots of folks write tutorials and other things. Googling most problems you face will yield good results.

Oh wow that's really unfortunate. I met some crypto people locally but almost all of them are trading focused. I also attended some "blockchain events" but most of them are just people shilling their coins/how to become a better trader.

Maybe I haven't tried hard enough finding the builders.

Thank you Roneil, and good luck on your endeavors!

Sorry to hear that - I've had good experiences in the past at Hackathons and other developer-focused events rather than general "crypto" or "blockchain" events.

Good luck!

For lightning protocol devs there is a public slack they hang out in. You might want to look around for one for Eth.

I haven't tried finding crypto communities on slack, maybe I can find some good ones there.

Thanks for the suggestion!

r/ethdev is a good one. Much more developer focused than r/ethereum.
