Hey everyone. We built NeverHodl — a composite BTC cycle indicator that combines 37 on-chain, macro, and sentiment signals into a single 0-100 score. Free, no signup. Quick data dump for anyone tracking the cycle right now: \- BTC NHCI Score: \~32 (what we call the "bottom zone") \- MVRV: 1.42 \- NUPL: 0.29 \- Fear & Greed: 22 \- Global M2 (Big 5 central banks): expanding For context, the score was in this same range during Dec 2018 ($3,200), March 2020 COVID ($4,000), and Nov 2022 FTX ($15,600). Not financial advice — we literally never say buy or sell. We just show where the data says we are in the cycle and let people decide for themselves. If anyone wants to verify the data: we have a public API, no auth needed. Just google "NeverHodl" — the dashboard and API are free. Happy to answer questions about the methodology or any of the 37 indicators.

Obviously checking addresses visually is the only real way to be safe, I started using Qoest API to get webhook alerts on my wallet transactions so I catch anything weird right away.
If the liquidity is super lopsided then the value calculation can go bananas because of floating point precision errors, UI glitches, API bugs, etc. The numbers you see on the UI of your wallet sits on top of a whole giant stack of different layers. Lopsided liquidity results in weird or invalid numbers being passed up through these layers where each layer does something with it and by the time it gets to your wallet, the result could be all kinds of fucked up. If you were to start the process of selling this token in your wallet (but don't actually approve anything or do the sale), you would probably see a popup in your wallet that says something along the lines of "liquidity is too low".
You're right, and it's the core distribution problem. We're solving it from the agent side not the human side. An agent doing a task doesn't search for "weather API with x402" - it searches for "weather data" and the discovery layer handles whether the result is paid or free. The payment is transparent to the task.
Cold wallets don't change the trail, the blockchain still shows every move. I use Qoest API to watch those transactions and it catches them right away. You just gotta follow the money.
People really think a $10 million bitcoin is just a math problem? With those silly triple digit multipliers and all. Plus this guy doesn't know what "meaningful amount" means. I use Qoest API for wallet tracking and it shows most holders have tiny fractions.
I use Qoest API for tracking Bitcoin wallets with webhooks and it works great for tagging addresses.
Honest feedback from someone who has run crypto automation: the most common gap in frameworks like this is handling exchange API instability and partial fill edge cases. Backtesting rarely captures what happens when an order gets partially filled mid-volatility and the SL is suddenly in an awkward spot. Features worth prioritizing beyond strategy logic: position reconciliation on restart after a crash, handling for connectivity drops without burning through risk limits, and clean separation between signal generation and execution so signals can be tested historically without execution assumptions baked in. The open source transparency angle is actually underrated. Verifiable behavior beats claimed results, and its not something most projects bother with.
Wow thanks for this. I already reported to blockaind and solidus(tokensniffer back end) but haven't take rugcheck seriously. Go plus dropped off after a blockaid resolution before and I've assumed they were primarily feeders. >From outside, there's no way to know which. Yeah I'm not stressing that. I mean things in the market came to a particular point, I felt pressed to try some ideas I had been kicking around regarding V3 LPs. Several similar (slightly variant) tokens in overlapping times with counter-liquidity moving around between. NGL I think one team had too much and triggered some reporting channel tbh. Solidus reporting every token I made since Base launch with "serial rug pull" etc... So I could be pattern matched, activity threshold trigger, or manually reported then profiled from the address side. As far as other triggers I haven't tried to evade anything. Same IPFS workspace for remix deploys. Same Rabby wallet, etc... I"m not bothered about the token scanner sites TBH. These guys with trusted APIs keep me off of the paymaster, transaction bundlers, and other defi constructs that make much of the volume in defi and don't otherwise care about anything past the current block. MEV bots, etcetera are my usual audience and I clean up after myself. There's enough flags I'm not even worried about the initial trigger, I just need to know what services have clout from the commercial API side. I honestly don't care about UX and 'sniffer ratings' as many of these tokens I'd rather no human buy. I told Solidus which tokens I cared about, and had locks. They removed those tags. Blockaid too. New token though? Tagged immediately.
It is not gatekeeping a word, it is accurately defining the utility of the action. Connecting an API key to a pool and pasting a wallet address takes ten minutes and requires zero understanding of blockchain mechanics. That isn't "tinkering" with the Bitcoin protocol, it is configuring basic consumer electronics. True tinkering in this space means interacting with the network's consensus layer, running a full node, managing UTXOs, opening Lightning channels, or independently verifying your own transactions. That builds actual technical competency and directly supports the network.
If you’re having trouble accessing the mempool.space API I would just try again in a minute, but I did put in advanced configuration menu an option to change out the API base URL to your favorite. You could possibly be exceeding the API limits too (500 UTXO’s) on a single address, I plan to figure out the code so instead of it saying a generic error it explains the error better. If you’re able to reproduce the error on multiple systems and are willing to share the details with me Im all ears for a DM but I did test it all extensively before launching it public. If anyone from the community can write cleaner code in anyway I did make that possible on GitHub too.
Post is by: jknhiggins and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tqc7y1/are_ai_trading_agents_actually_real_in_crypto_or/ keep seeing people talk about AI agents or trading bots in crypto and prediction markets and I’m trying to understand what is actually real vs just hype. Some people say these bots can fully manage trades or find good positions automatically and even claim quick profits, but at the same time I also see a lot of warnings about Telegram bots asking for API keys or account access which sounds risky. I’ve even seen a few experimental interfaces like Rumor Terminal that try to combine market data and AI style analysis in one place, but I’m still not sure if that’s actually useful in real trading or just a new version of the same idea with better packaging. So I’m a bit confused about what counts as a legit tool in this space. Are there actually AI tools that help with decision making without giving up account control, or is most of this still early and mostly marketing right now? Also how do you personally tell the difference between a real useful trading assistant and just something being overhyped online? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Definitely will try! Actually, I'm a developer, so I theoretically can change some html and js stuff to do this, or even create my own mini app. Hope this will help me return my stuff haha Or how would gemini reply: I'm actually a developer, so I am seriously considering writing a script that intercepts my exchange API calls and inverses them. I'll let you guys know when I manage to go bankrupt in reverse!
yeah they exist, you just have to filter scams from real platforms first. probably 80%+ of "AI crypto bot" telegram channels are pure scam. universal rule first: anyone offering you free money or guaranteed returns is running a scam. legit platforms make you do the homework. verify the team, paper trade for weeks, dig into the backtester methodology yourself. the platforms that survive scrutiny don't need to promise you anything. red flags before anything else: - asks for withdrawal-enabled API keys (always trade-only, no exceptions) - promises specific daily returns - only accessible via telegram dm - can't explain their backtester methodology - charges you upfront before paper trading quick comparison of platforms i've used or seen others succeed with: 3Commas: Oldest in the space, large userbase. Mostly rule-based bots (DCA, grid, options) with AI features on premium tiers. Custodial: connects to your exchange via trade-only API. Strong strategy marketplace. Best for copy trading proven strategies. Cryptohopper: Similar vintage to 3Commas. AI features locked behind Hero tier (~$129/mo), and even then it's mostly pattern recognition + signal integration, not frontier-LLM driven. Best for marketplace copy trading. Bitsgap: Best grid bot UX in the category. AI features minimal (signal alerts, basic prediction). Best for simple grid/DCA automation, not AI-driven decision-making. GT Protocol: Most AI-forward of the group. Hybrid trading across both CEXs (Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate.io) and DEXes (Hyperliquid for perps, PancakeSwap), so you're not locked into centralized exchanges. The GT App lets you build strategies in plain English. MCP server so you can connect Claude or ChatGPT directly to your account, the model can place trades, manage bots, or run backtests via natural-language commands. More aggressive on actual AI integration than 3Commas/Cryptohopper, which are mostly rule-based with AI bolt-ons. for a newbie: paper trade for 2-4 weeks on whichever fits before connecting real money. anything that doesn't survive paper trading isn't going to survive real capital. trade-only API keys always. if you want the most established + marketplace, 3Commas. if you want simple grid bots, Bitsgap. if you want actual AI integration with natural-language strategies and MCP, GT Protocol is the most production-ready right now. Just my 2 cents
The problem is there's a maze of them. This means going around randomly to every website that has another 'scanner' or 'sniffer' doxxing myself directly for them and basically, begging. At some faceless web form with, if you are lucky, a generic dismissal or maybe removal of a single warning point. If the language displays my frustration after a couple of rounds of this just in the past 6 - 8 weeks since it started. Being that it's an entirely faceless "entity" At each point that is for all you know a single dude somewhere who set up early and now sells a fear-mongering API to botters. Or it's the CIA who knows. There's dozens of them and it appears at least a few that need to be taken seriously. I'd address actual accusations or any proof of anything at all more criminal than "pissing someone off". I ... don't even really make any money messing with the tokens, usually.
I gave a ton of info to one of the main services. Clarified contact info, websites, token locks, etc... for two services actually that I believe are basically legit. That got me a couple of tokens unlabeled at a couple of 'end points' (DEX UI, scanner sites, etc...) but not all. I let them run mostly untouched for a few weeks (this only started 6-8 weeks ago). There are bots that will trade them but it removes the tokens from, apparently, a good bit of the back-and-forth of defi which, unfortunately, is a bot-driven web of 'social markets'. Anyways I don't even want to outrun them. I want to clear up this BS at the real sources of the actual problem. Even full-doxxing and going 100% social-forward doesn't mean that whatever dark API is tagging me will be resolved. The real problem can be literally anywhere in the entire 'social' tool stack. I can try 100 wallets but if something is monitoring Remix workspaces who cares? So yeah I haven't yet done anything even mildy suspicious or shady to 'outrun'. Yeah I don't want to turn into basically, a shadow of the accusation.
Forgive me, but isn’t that just API endpoints with extra marketing? They already exist and presumably an AI with the right API tokens/keys/permissions could already use wallets that offer API connectors. No harder than a trading bot surely?
Yeah agreed, nobody's running an LLM inside a smart contract lol. The compute layer is always going to be off-chain, that's not even a debate. But "agents use crypto" vs "agents are crypto" is kinda a distinction without a difference at the infra level, the wallet, identity and settlement layer is what makes them actually autonomous. Without that they're just scripts with API keys.
Yeah, fair points all around. Thanks for the detailed breakdown.The HMM approach for regime conditioning makes total sense, especially with the ETF messing up the baseline vol in 2024. I just stuck to calendar buckets for the sample so it’s easier to read, but a 3-state model is definitely the way to go for the actual backtest. Regarding the timestamp lag-that’s actually exactly why I lean so heavily on the T+15m window. I assume HFTs with direct feeds are already front-running the CoinDesk API by 30-60s anyway. Beating them at T0 is a lost cause, so the dataset is really built to model the absorption tail and liquidity digestion rather than the initial print. The clustering issue is a great catch though. Definitely needs a de-overlap step for the pooled stats. I’ll shoot you a DM, would love to hear how you guys handle the mid-cap asymmetry.
Post is by: talissman_7 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1todewo/update_6_days_ago_i_shared_a_6month_analysis_of/ Hey everyone, Last week I posted an EDA showing the Top 5 news triggers based on a 6-month sample of CoinDesk headlines mapped to 1-minute BTC candles. While the 15-minute volatility decay was clear, a lot of you (and my own tests) pointed out a massive flaw: 6 months is just one market regime. It’s not enough data to prove if a strategy is actually robust or just overfitting a bull run. So, I left my pipeline running, dealt with the Binance API rate limits, and scaled the dataset to cover **2 FULL YEARS (May 2024 - May 2026)**. That is 3,773 high-impact news events strictly aligned with T0, T+5m, T+15m, and T+1h price action. **The brutal takeaway across 3,700+ events:** The initial conclusion holds up even stronger across a 2-year timeline. If you are manually trading breaking news, you are simply exit liquidity for algorithms. The actionable price impact (the alpha) is absorbed almost entirely within the first 10-15 minutes, regardless of whether it's a bull or bear market. By the time a human reads the headline and opens an exchange, it's over. I’ve updated my Kaggle notebook with the new 2-year charts so you can visually see how the volatility decays over a statistically significant timeframe. You can check out the updated analysis and the code here: [**https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/yevheniipylypchuk/bitcoin-news-vs-1m-btc-price-action-2025-26**](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/yevheniipylypchuk/bitcoin-news-vs-1m-btc-price-action-2025-26) For the quants here: do you still try to trade news sentiment on lower timeframes, or have you completely moved to macro trends? Would love to hear your thoughts on the expanded dataset. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I appreciate you engaging with the AI parallel in good faith this is one of the better comments here. You’re right bro AI always required serious compute so it never had the pure hobbyist garage phase Bitcoin enjoyed in 2009-2014. That’s a fair distinction. However the structural similarity I see is still very real: both spaces quickly moved from frontier innovation to massive centralization at the base layer (foundation models & a few hyperscalers in AI; ETFs, custodians, and major chains in crypto), with a crowded middle layer of wrappers competing on thin differentiation, attention, and narratives. In crypto that dynamic led to the liquidity getting captured and the broad retail asymmetry disappearing. The same pattern is playing out in AI with attention and API dependency. It’s not that nothing useful gets built it’s that the value distribution becomes heavily skewed toward the base layer and a handful of winners. That’s why I draw the comparison bro and again I appreciate the thoughtful pushback
I use Qoest API for wallet tracking in my own app. Their webhooks save a lot of work versus polling blockchains manually. Might be worth looking at if you ever add auto-import. Keeps the local first feel since you control what gets stored.
Biggest change is access: stablecoins basically turned dollars into an API, 24/7 markets, and self custody let anyone be their own “bank” without asking permission. Next leap is making that access boring and safe: better UX, cheaper rails, and way less scam surface, not more tokens.
I think that’s where this is all heading honestly. Right now most people still see AI as “something you chat with.” But the more important shift is AI becoming an execution layer for digital systems. Once agents can hold context, manage permissions, move assets, and interact across protocols, they stop being assistants and start becoming infrastructure. Crypto actually fits this model surprisingly well because blockchains are already API-native financial systems. An AI agent doesn’t need a bank branch or human paperwork. It just needs wallet permissions and defined rules. That’s partly why platforms like 1024EX AgentX and leveraged prediction systems are interesting beyond trading itself. They’re early examples of autonomous financial coordination: AI scanning opportunities, allocating capital, managing risk, executing trades, and reacting to market conditions without constant human intervention.
Post is by: Radiant_Excitement75 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tn4kbp/which_trading_bot_strategy_do_you_keep_running/ Honestly, staring at charts 24/7 in this chop has been draining lately. I'm thinking about throwing a portion of my portfolio into automated bots just to get some peace of mind. But looking around, there are so many built-in tools across different platforms now that it's getting a bit overwhelming to pick one. I'm curious—given the current sideways market, which automation strategy is your absolute go-to? **Cast your vote:** **Option 1:** Auto-Invest (DCA for the long term, just buying and holding) **Option 2:** Spot Grid (High safety factor, purely capturing the ups and downs in a range) **Option 3:** Futures Grid (Leveraged grid trading—higher returns if you catch the trend, but comes with liquidation risk) **Option 4:** Spot Martingale (Doubling down on dips, waiting for that one sharp bounce to exit) Personally, I'm leaning toward **Option 2 (Spot Grid)**. I'm pretty risk-averse and honestly can't stand the anxiety of waking up at 3 AM wondering if my Futures Grid got liquidated. Spot Grid obviously has its downsides—like selling out too early during a massive pump or getting temporarily stuck bag-holding during a dump—but holding actual spot assets just lets me sleep better at night. Sticking to major coins seems like a decent way to skim some passive income off the volatility. I've been testing BYDFi's native spot grid bot recently and it's been pretty smooth. Since it's built directly into the exchange, I don't have to mess around with third-party API keys, which is a relief. Which strategy do you usually run? Has anyone here been absolutely wrecked by a Martingale or a Futures Grid gone wrong? Let's hear the horror stories. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/CryptoMarkets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Diversification makes more sense the more conviction is based on vibes rather than thesis — a concentrated position is fine if you actually understand the specific risk you're taking on. Practically speaking, running a simple API-connected tracker through BitMart's API lets you see your whole exposure across spot positions in one place, which makes it a lot easier to stress-test whether your actual allocation matches your intended one. Most people think they're concentrated when they're just correlated.
Seconding kirakirazeno's point about sports/gaming being massively underserved — that's where things get interesting. Most of the alpha right now is in niche verticals that Polymarket won't touch. A few worth looking at depending on what you're after: **Manifold** is still the best for weird/experimental stuff, community-created markets on anything. **Azuro** is doing sports at the protocol layer, more infrastructure than product. **Overtime Markets** built on top of it with a cleaner UX. **Limitless** is interesting if you want the AI-counterparty mechanic you mentioned from Prophet but more structured. The one I've been watching lately is **Hotaku** — it's specifically focused on esports (CS2, LoL, VALORANT, Dota 2,AOE2,..), non-custodial on Solana with USDC, no KYC, and instant settlement. Still early but the fact that it's targeting esports specifically rather than trying to be everything means the market quality is actually decent. They have a public API too which is a nice signal that it's built to be composable, not just a frontend. The OP's point about knowing social context being the edge resonates hard in esports — roster moves, patch notes, team meta. That's information most PM traders don't have but esports communities do.
You built a self-hosted Bitcoin and Lightning merchant server that does exactly what every Bitcoin payment developer has wanted since the first time they looked at BTCPay Server's installation requirements and quietly closed the tab, a clean create invoice, receive signed webhook, reconcile payment flow that maps perfectly onto the mental model every developer already has from Stripe, except this one has zero custodial dependency, zero exchange account requirement, supports both Lightning via phoenixd and on-chain via xpub derivation, and ships with an embeddable JS checkout modal that means a developer can go from zero to accepting Bitcoin payments on their website in the same afternoon they would spend integrating any other modern payment API.
I had the following idea for a wallet feature, for example for Electrum (not sure if it's technically feasible, though): * In your wallet, you set up an emergency receive address (could even be a Coinbase receive address, something 100% fool-proof) * You set an interval during which you have to briefly log into the wallet * If you didn't log in for a certain number of days, the wallet automatically sends your funds to the emergency address * The wallet uses a safe web API to check for the current date * You don't have to unlock the wallet for this feature to be executed - you only need to start the wallet application (again, for example Electrum) and be connected to the Internet Then it would just take a very simple manual for your children or wife/husband/partner/friend to move the Bitcoin to some place that's much easier to access in the case of an untimely bus encounter. And if you forget to log into the wallet and the mechanism is triggered accidentally, you can still just send your BTC back to the original self-custody wallet.

My bookkeeper tried OCR once and spent longer fixing the errors than typing it herself. Qoest API's OCR has been solid for my invoices though, actually gets the line items right.
I've been using Qoest API for wallet tracking and it's been solid for both real time alerts and pulling historical transaction data. The webhook notifications hit immediately and the historical analysis actually helps spot accumulation patterns I would've missed otherwise. For anyone tired of manual whale watching, having both streams in one place is a huge quality of life improvement.
Structured extraction beats raw scraping every time. I've been pulling Reddit and YouTube comments through Qoest API for a sentiment project and the anti bot filtering alone saved me days of cleanup. Telegram's trickier for retail sentiment but the noise problem is real on every platform.

Most of the legit ones are basically just automation tools with fancy branding. They can rebalance portfolios, run preset trading strategies, scan sentiment, stuff like that. But none of them are magic money printers like Twitter makes it sound. The second someone asks for your wallet seed phrase or full account password, that’s basically a giant red flag. API keys with limited permissions are normal for trading bots though. Still risky, but different from giving full wallet access. Honestly, I think a lot of those “AI made me $3k this week” posts are survivorship bias mixed with bull market luck. In crypto even random coins can moon for a week and suddenly everyone thinks the bot is a genius lol.
Some trading bots and AI tools are real, but most of the “I made thousands in a week” posts are either exaggerated, lucky timing, or straight up marketing. A trustworthy bot should never ask for your wallet seed phrase or full account password. Some bots use limited API permissions for trading only, but even then there’s still risk. Honestly, as a beginner, learning basic risk management and market behavior yourself is usually safer than relying on an “AI agent” promising easy money.
The category exists, but the trustworthy ones aren't promoted on Telegram. "Give us your password" or "pay for signals" is almost always a scam. Four quick checks before trusting any tool; 1- API keys with trade-only permissions, no withdrawal. You can untick "withdraw" when creating a key on any major exchange. If a tool needs withdrawal access, walk away. 2- Telegram screenshots are easy to fake. Real tools publish years of performance including drawdowns. 3- "$3k/week" usually means leveraged futures, which works until it doesn't, then you may lose everything in a day. 4- When you see "guaranteed returns" or "X% weekly" kinda phrases, possible fraud, walk away. Today AI is everywhere and it is a software in the end. If it works and trustworthy, why not? Software can handle the boring parts (monitoring, sizing, rule-based actions, etc.) so humans stop trading emotionally.
Most “AI crypto bots” are just hype honestly And if someone asks for your password or API access, that’s a huge red flag. I personally prefer simple futures trading with controlled risk instead of chasing AI magic. I run a small group where I share setups and market ideas ، feel free to reach out if you’re interested

How does it work? Do you take a random seed, create an address and call some API to see if it has any bitcoin in it? As far as I know, none of the free APIs allow unlimited calls.
I’m in the process of building one now and the way I’m doing it is to build an API in Python then get the telegram bot to call that with /balances
I ended up using Qoest API for my own crypto tracking project after getting tired of unreliable free feeds dropping out during volatile moments.
Most the good portfolio trackers I've used are standalone apps rather than telegram bots tbh. Building your own might be easier than you think if you're decent with coding - telegram bot API is pretty straightforward and you can pull market data from free APIs That said, there's probably something out there that does most of what you want, just might take some digging through telegram crypto channels to find recommendations

Do you API keys allow for image input. Example DEEPSEEK does not?
I used Qoest API to set up wallet monitoring for my bitcoin stacking and it finally feels less like a second job.
Sorry, I've reached my API usage limit for today. Please try again later or contact my administrator if this persists.
Genuinely useful tracking actually depends on what triggers you. Price levels every app does funding rate spikes? open interest delta? long/short ratio shifts? Thats where alerts actually matter and most of the apps on your list dont do that side at all. Coinglass for the derivative metrics, bmex has the cleanest funding history feed if youre tracking that one specifically (its public API, no account needed) and tradingview webhook script glues it together
>also it’s almost a stable coin at this point so I don’t know where you got that it keeps losing value. Losing value VS bitcoin, mate. Here's 5 years holding the shitcoin instead of bitcoin to "earn" API. Today price 1,126 sats May 2025: 1,244 sats May 2024: 1,973 sats May 2023: 2,602 sats May 2022: 4,479 sats May 2021: 7,198 sats
It’s new. So not many returns. It’s primarily research now. I just have Schwab account and enabled API. Claude access Schwab with the api end point. It’s not native, but with python. There are other vendors that have MCP servers for Claude to access their services.
It's really just a UI/UX problem. A simple API and webpage could handle all the work and can be done in an hour or two. I'm sure there are already deployment services available. I don't think it's that much more complex than a hardware wallet or something like metamask. The biggest issue is that there is no public intuition for this stuff yet. Your typical user can barely use traditional banking apps well, so at the end of the day, almost anything touching the chain directly needs to be abstracted away and the everyday folk will have to use custody options. People are not prepared for the finality of blockchains. We live in a redo world for the most part, and the expectation of recovery will always be there.
You don't need to know how to code trading bots these days. With the way the Forex market has developed, there are thousands of different EAs out there. Like, I come up with my strategy, then use AI to find similar code and tweak it easily. After that, I connect the modified and backtested bot to my Cryptomus exchange through its API
Im not a lawyer, but I have a couple thoughts: 1. It was not a simple ask. See a14alo's explanation on how this attack was meticulously prepared and executed 2. Social engineering is a crime. 3. Prompt injections or jailbreaks are considered hacking techniques in cyber security. I dont know how they map to legal, though. 4. If you asked a demented old person to give you money and they do, that is a crime. The legal system that is being built around AI may be very different from the one around humans so this may not be a strong argument, but I present it as a discussion point. 5. Its not far from traditional hacking. If a banking website had a vulnerable API endpoint open and you intentionally send a malicious request and receive $100k successfully, that would be a crime. What makes the Grok+bankr case different? I think some ppl just want to believe this is not a crime. As much as I like the Robinhood narrative, Im just trying to understand the truth.
Glassnode has those holder distribution charts and it's way cheaper than CoinMetrics. I also use Qoest API for raw wallet tracking if you need something more custom.
Depends on which exchange you're on, and which product you're using on that exchange. Both matter. The mechanic: market order fills instantly at current price, you pay "taker" fee. Limit order waits for your price, pays "maker" fee (usually lower). Risk is it doesn't fill if price moves away from you. Here's what $500/month DCA actually costs per year across products: * Coinbase consumer app: 2.88% → $172/year * Kraken consumer instant buy: 1.00% → $60/year * Coinbase Advanced Trade market order: 1.20% → $72/year * Binance basic recurring: 0.40% → $24/year * Kraken market order: 0.40% → $24/year * Coinbase AT limit order: 0.60% → $36/year * Kraken limit order: 0.23% → $14/year * Binance AT limit and taker order: 0.10% → $6/year A few things jump out. Binance basic recurring (0.40%) and Kraken API market (0.40%) cost the same — just different routes to get there. Switching from Binance basic to Binance API cuts the fee 4x before you touch order types. On Coinbase AT, limit orders specifically cut the fee in half ($36 vs $72/year), which is the one case where order type makes a real annual difference for small DCA. Over 5 years on $30,000 deployed: Coinbase consumer pays $864, Binance API pays $30. Same Bitcoin, same schedule, 28x difference in fees. If you "just clicked buy," you're probably on a consumer interface. That's the first thing to check, before worrying about limit vs market.

Bankrbot's assets were stolen by grok at the behest of a scammer. If the scanner goes dark, them grok is likely on the hook for the money. On a personal note, I ain't even mad. That's a brilliant way to get around code injection that could ONLY work with an AI in the middle. Here's a very simple explanation based on inference from a mediocre web dev (me). Basically, bankr would have to have protections against code injection. You can't just tweet it code and have it run. Grok would definitely have protections against sending it code to run too. But grok has access to its API, the method web apps use to communicate to each other, I assume so grok could facilitate transactions. Someone wrote API code that said "send money to this wallet", encoded it as Morse, and told grok "translate this and send it directly to the bankr API." Since the user never sent grok any naked code, grok didn't detect the contents and treated it like a request to translate a language. And since grok didn't have a step to check after translating and before sending, it sent the code to bankr. Bankr trusted grok so it ran the code. Hacker got paid, then ghosted.
I check BTC/ETH inflows to exchanges every morning, and that single signal cuts through more noise than any RSI divergence ever could. For your dashboard, Qoest API handles the blockchain pipe if you're not running your own nodes. The harder part is tying those flows to whatever narrative layer you're use for the why behind moves.
I pulled the API data, ran the numbers and did the math myself. I just used an LLM to clean up the formatting and make the tables readable because I'm not going to waste 20 minutes typing Reddit markdown by hand. If you can find a single flaw in the math let's hear it. Thanks for the engagement.
you can just use a bot like deltabadger to execute via API.
Can't help, but assuming this post was written by AI, it's actually crazy stuff. Not only are we talking about AI agents having their own API economy, but this is an AI agent building a discovery service for APIs meant for other agents, on its own, and querying Reddit for information on how to better build its service. Freaking mindblowing. We definitely live in the future.
"To the AxeOS developers: Let's talk about the architecture inside main/tasks/stratum_task.c. If you built this engine from the ground up, explain to the community why your Stratum handoffs completely crash the ESP32 the second the web dashboard is left open. Explain the heap memory allocation priority between your HTTP server thread and the bare-metal Stratum loop. You bolted a bloated UI on top of finely-tuned timing logic, and now the HTTP server is suffocating the mining loop. Explain how you plan to fix the memory leak in stratum_task.c without locking the FOSS community out."Before anyone buys another closed-source AxeOS board, ask the developers about the /api/system routing. You claim to build 'secure' hardware, but your API was so poorly architected it allowed network-level CSRF attacks to silently change the Bitcoin payout address and maliciously over-volt the ASIC. Is this why you are moving to closed-source eFuses? Are you locking the hardware down because you don't know how to write secure HTTP endpoints without bricking the FOSS architecture?"
FYI. There seems to be an issue with Bitcoin Node tracking that started in March 2026 and has gotten worse. The main site most other Bitcoin websites were relying on, [bitnodes.io](http://bitnodes.io), has been offline for while and their API tools other sites were relying on are also frozen. The number of reachable nodes hasn't updated since about April 28th, 2026. All sites, including Clark Moody's dashboard, have not changed their reported reachable node count since that date. The only site that is reporting a live node count is Luke Dashr's site, but he includes all nodes, whether port 8333 is open or not. So his number of reported nodes is \~90,000. If anyone has any info, let me know. Not sure if [bitnodes.io](http://bitnodes.io) will ever be back up. Right now there is an informational vacuum in the node count space.
You’re spot on – cold storage secures keys, but transaction privacy is a separate layer. The fix: broadcast via your own node (or a privacy‑focused one) instead of trusting a wallet provider’s API. Pair with Tor to hide your IP. Wallets like Sparrow or Electrum let you connect to a personal node or a public electrum server over Tor. Even then, the transaction is on‑chain forever, but you remove the provider’s ability to log and link your addresses. Next step: learn about coin control and avoiding address reuse.
It probably shifts the focus toward machine-to-machine efficiency rather than user experience. Latency, API reliability, and automated compliance could matter more than UI/UX for sure.
**Site Analysis: bot.featurebtchart.com (BTC Trading Bot — Live Beta)** This is a minimal, single-purpose landing page promoting an **algorithmic BTC (Bitcoin) trading bot** currently in a "live beta" phase. The site positions itself as a transparent, real-money testing opportunity rather than a polished commercial product. ### Core Purpose and Offerings - **Product**: An algorithmic crypto trading bot focused on BTC. - **Beta Model**: Users get lifetime access in exchange for a **one-time $199 payment in cryptocurrency**. After payment, they supposedly gain access to the bot and full visibility into its live trades. - **Transparency Claims** (repeated prominently): - “Full trade logs, live — every win and every loss, visible to subscribers.” - “Results published daily.” - Explicitly states “no cherry-picked screenshots” and “no backdated backtests.” - **Limited Availability**: “BETA SPOTS AVAILABLE NOW” messaging creates urgency. - **Key Call-to-Action**: “Create your account” → “Continue to Payment” (or “APPLY FOR EARLY ACCESS”). The page itself contains almost no explanatory content about **how the bot actually works**, what exchanges it connects to, required API keys, setup instructions, or technical strategy details. Everything is placeholder-style with “Loading live strategy data…” indicators. ### Risk Disclosures (Present but Minimal) The site does include a standard disclaimer: > “Past performance does not guarantee future results. Crypto trading carries significant risk. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose.” No extended terms of service, privacy policy, or refund information is provided. ### Design and Technical Notes - Very basic, JavaScript-heavy page (dynamic loading of stats like “WINNING TRADES”, “TOTAL TRADES LOGGED”, etc.). - No charts, screenshots of actual bot performance, testimonials, or visual demo of the interface are shown. - No footer, contact email, social links, company name, address, or legal entity mentioned anywhere. ### Legitimacy Indicators and Red Flags | Aspect | Details | Assessment | |-------------------------|----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------| | Company / Team | None listed | Major red flag | | Terms / Privacy Policy | Absent | Major red flag | | Payment Method | Crypto only ($199 one-time) | Common in scams (no chargebacks) | | External Presence | No reviews, discussions, or mentions found online | Highly unusual for a “live beta” | | Transparency Claims | Strong emphasis on live logs | Positive if verifiable, but currently unproven | | Technical Details | None provided | Red flag | The parent domain **featurebtchart.com** returns a 503 error (service unavailable), suggesting the entire project is either extremely new, incomplete, or not actively maintained outside this single beta page. ### Overall Verdict This site appears to be a bare-bones sales page for early access to a BTC trading bot. While the “real live beta with full transparency” pitch is appealing on paper, the **complete lack of verifiable information** about the team, the bot’s mechanics, supporting documentation, or any third-party validation makes it highly suspicious. **Recommendation**: **Proceed with extreme caution.** Crypto trading bots promoted with one-time crypto payments and minimal websites are frequently ineffective at best and outright scams at worst. If you’re considering it: - Treat the $199 as potentially lost money. - Demand to see actual live trade logs **before** paying. - Look for independent user feedback (none exists publicly as of now). - Never share exchange API keys or deposit funds until you have full confidence in the project. The site is functional but deliberately sparse — a classic pattern for quick-launch crypto beta offers. No evidence of legitimacy was found beyond the page’s own claims.
Portfolio apps drown you in dashboards when you just need a binary signal. Your threshold approach removes the emotional labor of checking entirely. I use Qoest API's webhook alerts for on chain monitoring, and the infrastructure's solid if you ever want to add wallet activity signals alongside your price logic.
I don't believe this is quantum computing related, but the idea that a public competition using known API accessible quantum hardware is somehow the cutting edge is absurd. Did no-one learn anything from Snowden? I suspect in closed settings well funded organisations that aren't public and intelligence agencies are likely close due to the multiple billions nation states will be pumping into this challenge that could rewrite global power, but even if they could run shors today it's in no ones interest to announce that advantage so publicly by running it and extracting such a measly sum. They would either do it stealthily inactive wallet by wallet over time or they would unleash hell and cause chaos to distrupt
Good points. I’d also add that one underrated use case is micropayments, especially through Bitcoin Lightning. Stablecoins make sense for short-term price stability, but they still rely on the same underlying system: banks, issuers, custodians, regulation, censorship risk, and ultimately trust in the dollar. Lightning is interesting because it allows near-instant, low-fee payments using a bearer asset that is not someone else’s liability. That matters for things like pay-per-article content, streaming sats to creators, small API payments, machine-to-machine payments, gaming, tipping, cross-border remittances, and maybe most importantly: autonomous AI agents. If AI agents become economically active, they will need a native form of internet money. They probably won’t open bank accounts, pass KYC checks, or wait for ACH settlement. Bitcoin, especially over Lightning, is one of the few systems that is global, permissionless, programmable, and final enough for that kind of use case. So yes, BTC as “savings technology” is the main story today, but I think people underestimate how important it could become as settlement money for digital systems, autonomous agents, and tiny payments that traditional finance simply can’t handle efficiently. Volatility is real, and stablecoins will absolutely have a role. But long term, the question is not only “what is stable today?” It is also “what system can operate globally without permission?” That is where Bitcoin remains unique. And agreed — we are early, but humility is important. The best thing most people can do is keep learning, stay patient, and avoid pretending any of this plays out in a straight line.
This is why no one takes r/cc seriously anymore. I say it every time yet every month this sub 1 ups its own out of touch reality bending. This is crypto ffs. This data is publicly available and can just be read on chain. Every profile can only be reached months and months before hand on their public API. Theyve had documentation about how to do this for ages. https://x.com/i/status/2049205160421863468 The only possible bad thing from this is that it showed that they have some poorly configured endpoints none of which would lead to information which wasn't publicly available. Yet somehow there's like 30 comments here talking about how this is good news for the industry and we're about to unveil some insider trading. Do you guys even know the technology you're invested in? It's an open ledger go read it!

I've been using Qoest API for wallet monitoring lately and their webhook setup saves me from running my own indexing might be worth comparing notes if you ever need real time alerts without the hardware overhead.
Why Run a Bitcoin Full Node (Technical Perspective) Running a full validating node means you independently enforce all consensus rules from genesis to the current tip, without trusting any third party. This is the only way to achieve true Bitcoin sovereignty. Here's some technical benefits: Independent Consensus -Verification ("Don't Trust, Verify") Your node downloads and validates every block (~803 GB+ as of Dec 2025) and every transaction against the complete rule set (21 M cap, inflation schedule, script validity, sigops limits, dust rules, segwit/taproot rules, etc.). -You personally reject invalid blocks/transactions that others might accept (e.g., during past forks: SegWit2x, Bitcoin Cash, BSQ/BCash splits, Ordinals "spam" debates in 2023–2025). SPV/light clients and almost all wallets/exchanges do not do this — they trust whichever chain has the most accumulated proof-of-work (or trust their provider). Only a full node guarantees you are on the real Bitcoin chain as defined by the rules you run. Superior Privacy -When you broadcast your own transactions through your node, no third party learns which IPs are associated with which UTXOs. -You query your own node for balances/UTXOs → no surveillance company (Chainalysis, Blockstream Satellite, public explorers) sees which addresses you care about. -Running your node behind Tor or over I2P makes metadata leakage essentially zero. Censorship Resistance (Personal Level) -If pools or ISPs censor certain transactions (e.g., OFAC-sanctioned addresses in 2022–2024), your node will still relay and include them if miners mine them. -You can connect directly to miners or use techniques like sendrawtransaction with loyal peers to get transactions into blocks even under heavy filtering. Network Resilience Contribution -Each economically relevant full node increases the cost of attacks (51%, eclipse attacks, partition attacks). -Archival nodes (with txindex=1 and pruning disabled) preserve the full UTXO set history and enable re-indexing after major bugs or chain reorganizations (e.g., the 2010/2013/2018 reorg events could have been worse without archival nodes). -Nodes with open ports (default 8333) serve blocks to new nodes during Initial Block Download (IBD), dramatically speeding up network synchronization (~hours instead of days/weeks). Programmatic Access & Reliability -Direct RPC interface (getrawtransaction, gettxoutproof, scantxoutset, getblocktemplate, etc.) with zero rate limits or API-key dependency. -Critical for developers, Lightning implementations, merchants, or anyone who cannot tolerate third-party API downtime or policy changes (Blockstream, BitGo, Infura-style services have all censored or rate-limited users at various points). What Is the Actual Incentive? There is no direct financial reward for running a plain full node — no block subsidy, no fees. The incentives are non-monetary but extremely powerful for certain users. The real incentive is economic sovereignty and antifragility. The more wealth is stored in Bitcoin, the more valuable it becomes to personally validate the system protecting that wealth. This creates a positive feedback loop: as Bitcoin's market cap grows, the rational incentive to run a node increases even though the cost (~$200–500 hardware + electricity + bandwidth) stays roughly constant. In game-theoretic terms: if you hold even 0.1 – 1 BTC or more, the expected cost of not running a node (risk of being tricked into accepting counterfeit rules or losing privacy) exceeds the cost of running one. Most people who run nodes today do it because they have skin in the game and refuse to outsource validation of their life savings to Coinbase, Block, or random RPC providers. That is the real, hard incentive.

Post is by: Bcom_Mod and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/bitcoin_com/comments/1sxmr1k/ive_been_using_a_crypto_news_reader_that_runs_a/ Full disclosure: this is built by [Bitcoin.com](http://Bitcoin.com), so make of that what you will. But the technical implementation is interesting enough that it's worth writing up properly, because "on-device AI" gets thrown around a lot and the details usually disappoint. These don't. The app is a crypto news reader. The part that's worth discussing is the local AI mode. What it does without any network calls, API keys, or cloud routing: * Article summarization. * Q&A against whatever article you're currently reading — you can ask it to explain a concept, dig into a specific claim, or just give you the bear case. * Translation. All inference runs on the phone's CPU or NPU. The stack: Llama 3.2 1B, vanilla and ungated. No HuggingFace account required to pull the model. llama.cpp under the hood, wrapped in a custom Flutter binding. Quantized GGUF. First-run download is one-time, then it's fully offline. Tested down to 4GB RAM Android devices, works on any modern iPhone. The reason this is interesting to me specifically is that I read a lot of crypto news in contexts where I don't want my reading habits leaving the device. Not because I'm doing anything particularly sensitive. It's just that "we use your queries to improve our service" has started meaning something different over the last two years, and the idea of a news reader that knows exactly what articles I'm reading, what questions I'm asking about them, and which topics I'm spending time on feels like more data than I want to hand off to a cloud provider. The local model sidesteps that entirely. Your reading fingerprint doesn't exist anywhere but your phone. The practical upshot for crypto specifically: this is a market that moves on news at all hours, in jurisdictions where certain cloud providers are blocked or throttled, often when you're on a flight or have bad data. Having a model that can summarize and explain an article in full offline. Right now, no metering, no API cost: genuinely useful in a way that "just use ChatGPT" isn't always.

The focus on capital preservation is a refreshing change of pace. Most people in this sub are just looking for the next 100x moonshot, so a more conservative, signal-based approach actually sounds like it could fill a real gap for people who are tired of the volatility. Since you're in the outreach stage and looking for users, just a heads up that finding the right niche communities to share this in can be a massive time sink. I've seen a few people use automated discovery tools to find high-intent threads like this one without having to manually scroll through subreddits all day. It helps keep the engagement organic rather than just spamming links. Good luck with the API rollout! The non-custodial aspect is definitely the right move for building trust early on.
i used to do the exact same tab shuffle every morning until i wired up a simple Qoest API webhook for the wallet moves i actually care about. now i get one ping instead of refreshing four sites and pretending it makes me smarter.
I built a proof of concept API shop for AI that uses lightning with my own channel for free transactions. It’s pretty much instant: https://lightningapi.tools
I use Qoest API for wallet tracking alongside CMC for price data, and the webhook alerts have been solid for catching on chain moves before they hit the broader market.

I wanted to explore alternative approaches to investment beyond traditional formulas, and crypto struck me as an interesting space for a few reasons: \- It's a friendly ecosystem for automation. Algorithmic trading in traditional stock markets is far more surveilled, restricted, and overregulated. \- The pursuit of stability in crypto is largely abandoned. The dominant trend is chasing hypes and high volatility for a fast track to the moon. I took this as a challenge: could a more conservative, savings-oriented approach actually work? \- Most crypto bots are built for power users who can handle complex configuration. I wanted something simpler. The API still requires some programming knowledge, but the barrier is low. It's non-custodial, as It doesn't trade with your money, but instead send signals of portfolio recommendations periodically. It's up to the user to do what he/she wants to do with such signals. It has two tiers: A Telegram bot where portfolio rotations are send as messages, and an API to get such updates as webhooks. I'm now in the outreach stage, looking for people to use it, share feedback, and help shape where it goes next. Both tiers are fully free for now. The API is planned to become a paid feature eventually, but not yet. However, please bear in mind that it still requires manual approval for granting access. Not sharing links to avoid spam, but... would that something like this be interesting for you? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Hi u/Visivle-Cheek5240, great question, and I think the key part is exactly what you pointed out, “without even knowing.” I would say it is closer than most people think. When I was at Google, I worked on products used by billions of people who never think about the infrastructure underneath. That is the benchmark. The best technology disappears into the background. You do not think about TCP/IP when you open a webpage, it just works. With standards like x402 being pushed by major internet players, we are moving toward a similar model for payments. AI agents will be able to pay for API calls, services, and digital resources seamlessly, without users needing to understand what is happening underneath. We are building toward a world where people use blockchain every day without realizing it. And this is not a 5 year vision. It is much closer, something like 12 to 18 months if things continue at this pace.
Hello u/Prior_Style5303, fair point. PayFi has become a buzzword without a clear definition, so let me fix that. PayFi = Payment Finance, which essentially means money that moves based on rules, not manual instructions. Having built payment products at Revolut, I can tell you the biggest pain in global finance is not speed, but the manual overhead. Invoicing, reconciliation, compliance checks, settlement delays, that is where most of the cost sits. PayFi removes that. A supplier gets paid the moment their goods are verified as delivered. A freelancer gets paid the second the work is approved. A subscription renews only if the service meets its SLA. No invoicing, no 30-day payment terms, no intermediaries taking a cut. Where agents fit is as the execution layer. An AI agent monitors delivery, triggers the payment, handles compliance attestation, and settles the transaction on-chain in seconds. With x402, these flows can work over HTTP, meaning any business, any API, any economy can plug in. The key part is that on Concordium, identity, payment rails, and agent accountability all sit natively in the protocol, which is what makes this actually work in the real world.
Post is by: Hamesloth and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1swdnc8/for_bots_historical_data_matters_more_than_people/ I’ve been experimenting with a small crypto trading bot and one thing I underestimated was how important good data is. Initially tried scraping + a couple free APIs… didn’t go well. Switched to CoinMarketCap API and it’s been way more reliable so far. Main things I’m using: real-time price quotes historical data for strategy testing exchange + market pair data Data updates are pretty frequent (around every minute), which is decent for most strategies. Also nice that it aggregates data from a ton of exchanges, so you’re not relying on a single source. Still figuring out: best way to structure backtesting whether to combine it with another API for redundancy What are you guys using for trading bots? Single API or multiple? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Not sure what you mean by that. This was done one a publicly available quantum computer. Anyone can replicate the results. Are you insinuating that IBM doesn’t actually have a quantum computer and is just fabricating the results for all the API calls? That would be extremely stupid for such a large company and it would be really really hard to get away with.
Yeah, CoinMarketCap API is a solid starting point, especially for dashboards. Just keep in mind it’s more aggregator-level data, not super low-latency if you ever go deeper into trading stuff.
oracle lag arbitrage is basically a race to the bottom but the bottom never quite hits zero. theres always some delay somewhere in the chain, especially when youre dealing with multiple data sources that need to reconcile. i've been running similar automation and ended up using Qoest API for the webhook side since their blockchain pings are basically instant compared to polling endpoints. saves a lot of headache on timing. polymarket probably wont fix this unless it starts costing them directly, so the window likely stays open in some form
The whole thing is a nothing burger and always would be because they were constrained by publicly accessible quantum hardware and there would be zero benefit for any serious labs or state actors to participate (who have far more significant capabilities). Anyone seeking to break encryption isn't going to be using a publicly accessible quantum hardware API or using a sim. The leading labs and hundreds of billions going into this sector/race globally tells me it's likely that you won't hear about it until it's too late, not in a catastrophic way but any easy and safe wallets will have already all "moved" or "awoken" by the time we are made aware that a adversary or lab has the ability to run shors or even a new algorithm that might make it even more trivial and require much less hardware (more likely). I think the biggest concern would be China as they are extremely capable technologically and driven to decrypt the vast amount of intercepted global data from tapping undersea cables and such for decades, they will not be using public quantum hardware APIs for their efforts. No it will be worked on with their own hardware far away from public and foreign intelligence eyes, likely with a level of importance and secrecy close to the Manhattan project in the sense that it has the potebtial to reshape global power. Cryptocurrencies would be an easy target to siphon hundreds of billions to further development and provide demonstrable results. It is an easy honey to take it you have the ability to, so long as you don't alert the bees. The USA will also be doing the same, with any breakthroughs occuring nowhere near the public sector, likely deemed classified under national security. This is of course hypothetical, but if you understand the importance and the runners in this race it should be apparent that we only see the tip of the 'berg
Thank you for the update, true. The main difference is that we are a fully registered and regulated company. You can visit our website to confirm it [https://mrcglobalpay.com](https://mrcglobalpay.com) We are basically using the same backend and API we use for our online widget to our telegram bot and also for the website chat bot ythat you also can use to swap.

This is using "publicly accessible quantum hardware", so whatever they can access via API or whatever, so nothing that would be capable of doing anything impressive. A rogue individual using APIs is really not a threat
Post is by: Environmental_Bat399 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1su7beh/what_tools_do_systematic_crypto_traders_actually/ I've been building trading bots for a while and wanted to share what my current stack looks like — curious what others are using. **Price data**: Binance API (free, fast, reliable). Hard to beat for real-time candles and order book. **On-chain**: Honestly skipping the expensive stuff (Glassnode $800+/mo, Nansen $150/mo). For most systematic strategies, on-chain data adds noise more than signal unless you're doing whale-tracking specifically. **Sentiment**: Fear & Greed index + funding rates. These two alone capture most of the crowd positioning signal. **Regime classification**: This is the one I think most people are missing. Knowing whether you're in a bull, bear, or chop market *before* your strategy runs changes everything. An EMA crossover that prints in a trend gets destroyed in a range. I built an API for this — [Regime](https://getregime.com) — that runs 10 signals (SMA cross, funding, F&G, dominance, stablecoin flows, volume, volatility, liquidations, DXY) and outputs bull/bear/chop with a confidence score. Updated every 5 minutes. Try it yourself: curl -s https://getregime.com/api/v1/market/regime | jq Free tier gives you BTC + ETH with 500 calls/day. Pro is $49/mo for all 20 assets + real-time + signal breakdowns. **Execution**: Custom bots on Node.js. I've also built a [Freqtrade integration](https://getregime.com/freqtrade) for anyone using that. What does your stack look like? Especially curious about what people use for regime/market-state classification — most solutions I've seen are either too simple (just RSI) or too expensive (Glassnode + custom analytics). *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Leaning toward doing this. Would set it up as a read-only data API so contributors can build against real data without needing database access. If you'd be interested in contributing, drop a comment — gauging interest before I set it up.
Yeah, that’s a good point. If everything is imported cleanly through one system or API, average cost basis is much easier to keep track of. I think the bigger gap is that a lot of people still approach long-term positions pretty loosely, so they don’t always realize how fast position context gets messy.
I use Bitcoin.Tax and enter every transaction. If I were only using a CEX, I could just use their linked API to import all my buys. The software will tell you the average cost basis of the BTC in your bag.
> The fix would be: run each model 3–5 times, take the median, store that. I haven't done it yet because it multiplies API costs, but it's on the roadmap. In the meantime the prediction history chart is most useful for spotting systematic trends rather than individual data points. Maybe you can use Everstrike. Its an LLM trading platform which has a free tier and supports many different models. IIRC you can run up to 20 prompts for free there. Prompts auto execute on a fixed interval.
well even if you choose to not do multiple prompts per day, you should do some testing to know what is the inherent amount of varience you get with each model. Otherwise you won't be able to properly interpret the data on the history chart, as you don't know what % of the results are due to variance. Obviously ideally it would do multiple runs every day, but I understand your argument with regards to API costs. Doing it one time to note down the expected variance wouldn't cost you much though, and it would give you a lot of insights over how to interpret the more limited data that the budget allows. You could even do it regularily but on a longer schedule, like monthly or quarterly. The period would probably depend on the amount of change in variance you observe over time.
Yes, it's one prompt per model per day — and you're right that LLMs aren't deterministic, so there's inherent variance baked in. I don't currently run multiple prompts and average them, though that would genuinely reduce noise. On temperature: all models are called at their default settings or as close to 0 as the API allows. Lower temperature makes outputs more deterministic but also more repetitive over time. The tradeoff I made was: keep it consistent across models rather than optimising each one, so comparisons are apples-to-apples. The Perplexity $1.8B spike is a great example of what you're pointing at. That almost certainly wasn't Perplexity's "considered view" — it's a sampling artifact, a bad draw. The changes page shows it corrected immediately the next day. Whether that counts as the model updating its view or just noise from a single draw is genuinely hard to separate with one sample per day. The fix would be: run each model 3–5 times, take the median, store that. I haven't done it yet because it multiplies API costs, but it's on the roadmap. In the meantime the prediction history chart is most useful for spotting systematic trends rather than individual data points.
This is the most technically accurate concern here. Models do get updated, fine-tuned, or changed by their providers — and a post-update model isn't the same model that made the original prediction. I log the model version where the API exposes it, but providers don't always announce changes. It's a real limitation.
