Yes that should work 👍

Hi all,

Am planning on starting a mainnet node and running it in a docker container as per these instructions:
https://github.com/eqlabs/pathfinder/#running-with-docker

My question:
I am already running a full Ethereum node on my server. I this case, can I set the  PATHFINDER_ETHEREUM_API_URL parameter to my node's endpoint, i.e. 127.0.0.1:[eth node rpc port]?

Thx.

I'm new to Cairo and I want to know what is the difference when I write `let x = 1;` and `tempvar x = 1;`. Is there any difference in Cairo Lang between let and tempvar?

Cairo: let vs tempvar what is the difference?

What is the technical difference between Solidity -> Cairo transpiler and ZK-EVM Kakarot for StarkNet? Both of them interpret Solidity into Cairo and it can help Solidity developers to use StarkNet. 

But really, how does [Kakarot](https://github.com/sayajin-labs/kakarot) compare to [Nethermind's Warp](https://github.com/NethermindEth/warp)?

What is the technical difference of Kakarot compare to Nethermind's Warp?

Another question I have is:

**What's easier, adapt the create2 trick in Solidity then transpile or transpile first then adapt in Cairo?**

### *From Newton AI:*

*"Create2" is a feature in Solidity, the programming language used to write smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain. It allows the creation of new contract accounts using a deterministic algorithm, rather than having to send a transaction to create the contract like with the original "create" function. This can be useful in certain situations, such as when creating a contract that is intended to be deployed at a specific address.*

*Transpiling is the process of converting code written in one programming language into another language. This can be useful if a piece of code needs to be run on a platform that only supports a different language, or if it is desired to use a different language's features or syntax.*


Did you change the factory/create2 part (to compute pool addresses)?

Hello there,

Do you know why `pedersen_hash` needs to split felts in low 248 and high 4 bits?

Why does Starkware pedersen Hash Function split numbers in high and low bits

该从该从哪里哪里开始开始学起学起呢呢？？PythonPython嘛嘛？？

# Is Kakarot part of the Starknet ecosystem?

Is Kakarot part of the Starknet ecosystem?

Hello! This is day 4 of the 17 days of the Cairo Challenge. And I have no idea how to solve the [playground](https://www.cairo-lang.org/playground/) exercise “Variables”. Can you launch this code with the instructions and write down how many steps the program has in the output?

[BONUS]: try to make it faster

```
// The following code outputs the 9th power of 2.
// 1. Click on "Debug" to run the code, and then click on
//    the arrows in the memory panel to trace the program
//    step by step.
//
// Observe that the computation of `z` take 8 steps and
// creates 8 temporary variables. This is because `let`
// simply replaces each instance of `y` with `x * x * x`
// and each instance of `z` with `y * y * y`, which is
// expanded to nine multiplications.
//
// 2. Change the two `let`s to `tempvar`s and run the program.
//
// "tempvar" stands for "temporary variable", which means that
// a variable will be allocated for the intermediate values
// (`x * x * x` and `y * y * y`). This reduces the same
// computation to use only 4 steps and 2 new variables.
//
// 3. Replace all three instance of the keyword `tempvar`
//    with `local`, uncomment the line containing `alloc_locals`
//    and run the code again.
//
// The behavior of the code doesn't change. This is because
// the keyword `local` allocates a new variables for the
// intermediate values as well. The main difference between
// `local` and `tempvar` is explained in the next challenge.

// Use the output builtin.
%builtins output

// Import the serialize_word() function.
from starkware.cairo.common.serialize import serialize_word

// Outputs the value 2^9.
func main{output_ptr: felt*}() {
    // alloc_locals;
    tempvar x = 2;
    let y = x * x * x;
    let z = y * y * y;
    // Because of the `let`s, the following line is equivalent to
    // serialize_word(x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x * x).
    serialize_word(z);
    return ();
}
```
