Currently in Marlow.

Nostr is a vital space despite its many shortcomings. Keep using it! At crypto statto, the goal is to be transparent, challenge but respect idiosyncrasies. Have long since given up on Mastadon. Totally bizarre platform, yet - our social media posting software has capability for Mastadon posting. Our initial account got banned from their mastadon.social if we recall, whilst simply testing the software. We got banned from X for simply sharing a post on how to post on Nostr. X's AI continues to automatically reject appeals. No humans involved. The Chatgpt recommendation was to use Mastadon.bot. Why? It is friendlier to bots. It has been three weeks now and still no approval. Is it because we are a crypto-friendly company? Perhaps they don't like crypto? How hard can it be to visit a website and read more about it? Perhaps the moderators are on a long holiday? Can't be arsed? Who knows? Mastadon feels like Wikipedia on steroids. Hands down, barring X, Mastadon is the biggest waste of space of a social media platform going? We didn't consider Facebook or Instagram given it is attached to a human account. Ie, you dox yourself just to market a company. How does that work legally? Well, then we have BlueSky. Which requires a third party to store your digital ID, a passport etc to allow you to post through automation. There are legitimate reasons why one doesn't want to attach personal data to just post information through an automated account. Equally, moderator based platforms and communities always suffer similar craziness.

Having played around immensely with LLM, to help with certain development and testing efforts, it seems highly likely LLM will advance enough to build trade rules based upon prompts. We built a rules manager but never felt comfortable with taking it to market. Maybe better done with an agent or few.

I love this video on "shipping a button in 2026". What softeare engineering is like. All these opinions, you can take days for get started.

As suspected. Bitcoin rallied and has now pulled back again. Suspect that no shortage of people bought a load thinking it was going to moon. Keep swing trading and keep using cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has done 7%, now at $71,385. The one thing we can guarantee is it will fall again, go up again, maybe pump a lot, maybe fall a lot. Swing trading is where it is at. By all means hold, lock it away, but rather than DCA, swing trade.

Right now, coins are moving all over the place. In our opinion (not advice) there is zero need to dca into coins if you already have them. Just swing trade with limit orders to sell high into a coin and once settled, buy that coin back with a lower limit order. It may look bleak, if not desperate, but even a few sizeable swing trades will increase your stack. We are releasing swing trading software to help automate this. If you are a long term holder of bitcoin but have altcoins, start with the alts, move into BTC and back again a few times. Some very big influencers still do complicated maths to explain how coins like XRP and Cardano could 100x. Maybe they are right but why use cash to do it when one can swing trade? It isn't sexy, but it works for us!

Anyone that claims setting up bots for social media marketing campaigns have probably never attempted it 😎 Each social media platform has all manner of restrictions around; - security OAuth and nsec for example - message format - media management - rules on frequency - paid plans - out of date documentation - deplatforming risk - changing apis and versions This is before setting up the content itself. To do this, have run LLM against existing content to create the content. More of an experiment than anything. Had thought about offering this as a piece of software but making it stable enough, even with agents is a big ask.

Just did a search for Jim carey. 2 results in the the last day. This is the challenge with Nostr as a social media platform. As a technologist and sound money advocate, nostr rocks everything we understood about money and security. As a social media platform it is a long way off.

Despite the seemingly negative slant on "vibe coding". After putting together a python huffing face content summariser, have now done better with Ollama. For those that know what they want and how to build systems, model data, LLM is a game changer. Advice: keep functionality light or abstract it.

I've gotta say. If you want an impeccable album - Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley.

Have been watching A LOT of content on "AI" and LLM. Developer content, Computer Science PhDs, AI enthusiasts, CEOs, those that think their life is over because "AI" will take over their jobs. We use LLM all the time but we make sure we are in control of the final product quality. The first thing anyone should do is to understand how these models work. Once we do, we realise that they can never be right all the time, there is no true knowledge, and they are constrained by the number of parameters that can be added before they no longer work. Indeed, there is a theory whereby the information needed to solve a problem will exceed the information needed to solve the original problem. There are countless studies that test models, give problems to them. Please read some. Now, LLM is transformative, but please understand it is a tool that will get things wrong and you need to be able to recognise these mistakes and correct them. Am totally for non-experts using tools to create great products but do not get carried away with the hype.

It's amazing - truly. The number of Bitcoin maximalists banging on about what the FED is doing, hating on precious metals and altcoins, salivating over Saylor. Yet - it is altcoins doing a mini pump right now that is bringing Bitcoin out of the doldrums.

We have been busy working on our social media marketing software. Definitely a Segway away from the main automated trading software work, but very necessary to help get awareness of the upcoming release of our cloud based dedicated trading solution. The software takes our existing structured web content, shortens links with an external link shortening API, classifies (filters the content) using hugging face ML/AI, delivering structured messages for a variety of social media platforms. We will be able to turn content already created into automated posts on LinkedIn, Telegram, Nostr, Twitter/X, Mastadon, Gab etc.

Whilst the participants are undoubtedly talented. On the rare occasion I watch sports, the idea of judges as a way of determining the outcome seems wrong. Big air, snowboarding. Boxing should either be a draw or a knockout

Perhaps, one of the most disappointing token/Blockchain projects ever must be Hex and pulsechain. Thankfully i didn't buy any. All that work and hype. Easy to hate on projects but developers worked on the project. Oh well.

YouTube giving out free movies to stop you watching more about the Epstein files.

Everyone is talking about how AI is transforming everything. Firstly, it is not AI, it is LLM. Yet there are two important metrics in software; - Code surface area - Confidence (i.e. tests) I haven't used correct terminologies, but think of it like this. Decentralisation. Decentralisation is great, it empowers. Yet if one is trying to build a platform or entire system, hell - reporoduce it elsewhere, the more AI is used, the more amnesia occurs. The less centralised the codebase becomes. The result is a mess. Almost impossible to control. Building small apps or utilities is the way development should be done but if you are a serious player, much of the current AI offering won't work. Building platforms is another thing altogether. We use LLM all the time as experienced developers, but at the right time.

Don't want to say too much, but... Recently sold a small amount of a certain precious metal. Just to test the process. Man, it is risk upon risk... - Custody risk - Delivery risk - Insurance risk - Inspection risk - Fraud risk - Counterparty risk - Settlement risk Only once you try and work with metals do you become accutely aware just how many risks there are. Then imagine we are supposed to believe governments are buying gold, auditing it. To me, metals have lost the room. Having said that. Metal looks beautiful and you can hold it in your hand. It is God's money and pure. Going through this process frees your mind. For me, bitcoin and other coins are WAY undervalued. You must do this for yourself, much as you should pay for something in a cryptocurrency to experience the process. Just set up two wallets to test sending coins. Too many cannot appreciate the beauty of cryptocurrency until they try it.
