Hi all, I am currently final year computer science student and decided to code my own torrent client. I don't actually plan on developing and releasing the next big torrent client, I'm doing it solely for learning purposes. C++ is my language of choice. With that in mind I have a few questions for people who have already done this.
1. What C++ library would you recommend for handling the networking part.
2. What GUI framework would you recommend?
3. Any advice you have for developing it?

Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it!

I converted actual btc not the eth wrapped one.

Hmm, interesting stuff. Thanks for providing me with that insight. I personally didn't have any problems with converting my BTC on that platform but I guess I will keep in mind what you told me the next time I need to convert. Actually, what method / platform would you recommend for converting that wouldn't require KYC.

Hi, yesterday, I needed to have some of my BTC swapped for ETH. So I wondered what would be the fastest way to do that and I found changenow.io - a coin swap platform. Basically, without needing to create an account or anything, I just send my BTC to a wallet provided by this platform and it sends me back ETH to the wallet address provided by me.

So I was wondering how does that work. Do they use a centralized exchange like Binance or Coinbase and somehow swap on them in which case they're somewhat of a middleman or do they use some other methods that I'm not aware of?

Thanks.

That whole "Bad guys use crypto so let's do everything in our power to make sure that people never use it" kind of reminds me of the Edward Snowden situation when he leaked that the US was monitoring people's phone calls to prevent terrorism.
