Experience
Centralized Smart Contracts
Over a weekend, I realized that we could use Lua instead of creating our unique smart contract language. The contract written in Lua could be runtime compiled into C and then embedded into our existing C++ Monte Carlo engine. I insisted on my idea and implemented this solution in less than three days. And I received monetary remuneration for this valuable contribution.
