FTX has been hacked
Yesterday morning I woke up with bad news: Kroll, the security company that’s managing the bankruptcy process of FTX was hacked and the personal information of all users was stolen and leaked. “It’s almost not a big deal”, I tell myself, I didn’t provide the phone number and used a completely dedicated e-mail; so, once, it was all over I would just delete it. However, I did not consider what might happen during the process. Continue reading
Finally, the comments!
Finally after 6 months, blog comments are back! It took me an inordinate amount of time because I couldn’t find a platform I really liked. I will go into more detail in another post, but it was a bit of a nightmare for me. Too easy and I was swamped with spam. Too difficult and no one (not even me) was willing to register and validate the email for a quick comment. Continue reading
How to send yuan to China
I recently started using CSSBuy to bundle multiple orders from different Chinese sellers and ship one package while saving on shipping fees. If you want, they can also act as an intermediary between buyer and seller for translations and payments, however, in the end, if you make a lot of purchases the extra charges start to go up: The 6% for service, 4% to PayPal and especially the spread they charge on dollar/yuan conversion, which is 4.

New platform!
I’ve been behind a redesign of the site for months and finally posted it today! This then is the version … 3.0? I think so. What was wrong with the old site?

Unfortunately, I must say that in recent times I have noticed a disturbing increase in traffic to my site from Russian IP addresses, which account for about 75% of the total traffic. Continue reading
What the GRID bot did on 3commas last weekend?
It was almost great! Last week I wrote that I told the bot to play with 61 euro and buy 1INCH. The price at the time was 2.830 and it rose up to 3.350! So, it should have bought 21.55 1INCH coins and then sold them for 72 euro, for an incredible 11 euro gain (+18%!) in 2 days, right? Well… It did not do anything! I forgot to enable it!

Let's try 3commas' crypto trading bot
Recently, I read a lot about 3commas.io a lot in forums, and I always ignored the discussion because I thought it was referring to “comma.ai three”, the car autopilot interface founded by Geohot, the infamous PS3 hacker. Finally, I realized that after all, discussing about an automated driving device on bitcoin forums wouldn’t make sense, so I read more about it. 3commas is an automated trading bot for cryptocurrency pairs! And best of all, it has a free plan, as probably will get commissions from the exchanges partnership deals. Continue reading
