    The trading algorithm I made can now detect a new coin within 0.3 seconds of it being listed on Binance

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 06:07 AM PDT

    The trading algorithm I made can now detect a new coin within 0.3 seconds of it being listed on Binance

    It's been about two weeks now since I initially shared with you a tool that I had made in order to quickly buy into a new coin listing to take advantage of the initial surge in the price.

    I've spent the past two weeks, debugging, fixing and optimising this code to get it to a level where it actually works. It's been a challenge to test since I have to wait for a new coin order and then check if it broke or not, but I think I finally got there.

    Before I go explaining how the tool works, let me explain why I think that this particular strategy has some potential:

    As some of you may have noticed, many coins seem to go through to what I would like to call a "lightning-pump" during their first few seconds of being listed on an exchange.

    Have a look at ICP (you may put your pitchfork down, this chart is the perfect example):

    chart for ICP

    In under a minute, the price of ICP shot up over 10 times, before slowly dipping into the void. Manually trading this 10x would be impossible, due to the speed required to catch this pump.

    So I started building a bot that would detect new coin listings in about 20 seconds of them being listed on Binance.

    It soon became quite clear that 20 seconds is way too slow to take advantage of the pump so I had to make it quicker.

    The second improvement enabled the trading algorithm to find a new coin and place a buy order in about 5 seconds. This was better but not great.

    Finally, I decided to remove all the breaks and just call the Binance API like crazy. Full steam ahead.

    The bot is now able to detect a new coin listing in 0.3 seconds and place an order. There haven't been any new coins listed after I made this improvement so I will let it run and share my results once I have them.

    I've also fixed any bugs that were caught by some of you that decided to test this out so thanks for that!

    For anyone interested in trying it out, I've included a test mode that will simulate placing orders so there's no risk involved.

    Here's a step by step guide on how to build it as well as an in-depth anatomy of the code:

    My shitcoin gambling adventure broken down..

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 08:05 PM PDT

    So my friends, I initially invested an estimated 10bnb into shitcoin fair launches.. This is my story.

    With over 100 launches in the last 6 months, let me tell you.. I have seen some shit.

    About 90% of the launches were either rug pull, slow bleed, or a straight up honey pot. (honey pot is when you are unable to sell and only buy.. Aka insta fucked.)

    8%ish were promising launches that dealt with problems due to extreme bot issues/ exploits or hacks.

    The last 4% went well, a couple did a massive 20x-50x off launch making back my returns.

    All in all, I Luckily made back 11bnb out of my 10bnb.. But if you think of the time invested in research and chart watching... Just buy some fucking eth or btc.

    Thank you for listening.

    So we're hating Ethereum now?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:05 AM PDT

    Edit: Thank you everyone in the comments, my hope has been restored. Perhaps I just happened to run into the vocal minority during today's scrolling :)

    Looking at the front page and going through the comments, today's sentiment is clear - death to Ethereum and its exorbitant gas fees! I even spotted comments calling Ethereum a premined scam, something usually seen in the more... uhm, tribalistic subs.

    So with all the noise in r/cc I thought the world was burning (no pun intended) and checked the current gas, just to see ~40 GWEI. Oh.

    Throughout the bullrun we have seen worse, much worse congestion than this.

    I understand that the NFT minting spikes make for flashy screenshots - and yes, it is the NTFs. For those not aware, OpenSea currently guzzles more than twice as much gas as the next in line (Uniswap, the previous king of gas). And it tends to concentrate the gas into those ridiculous spikes. But if you're just a little patient you'll get your transaction in under 100 GWEI and if you have all day, probably under 30.

    For those interested in daily interactions with DeFi/dApps, we already have flourishing L2 ecosystems such as Polygon. Various rollups are gaining traction as well and hopefully will soon offload some of the L1 traffic.

    Sharding is still on the roadmap (and for some reason always burried at the bottom of the comment section).

    And we now also have the silver lining of burning some of the fees thanks to EIP-1559.

    Help me understand why we're hating Ethereum today and not half a year ago. Is it just because of the screenshot-worthy spikes? Is it because of the Cardano and/or Solana hype? Is it because people had the wrong expectations for EIP-1559? Or am I missing something fundamental that's going on?

    Don't get me wrong, gas fees are high and it is an issue. No one is disputing that. I just don't see how it is any worse than it used to be. And I sincerely doubt that Ethereum is going to "kill itself because it's completely unusable".

    Thank you for coming to my TED rant.

    I haven't used ETH since 2016, the fee I just saw today on a $10 trade was more than my bank has charged me in 3 years. What's the point of all this now?

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 09:29 PM PDT

    I haven't used ETH in 2016 and back then gas fess were maybe a couple dollars.

    I found $50 in USDT in an old MetaMask wallet and wanted to swap it for ETH. I have never swapped anything before as this stuff wasn't really around in 2016. I tried to swap $10 USDT into ETH as a test run.

    The calculator said it would cost $34 in gas fess. I would literally be losing $24 on that trade. So I just left the USDT in there and I guess it'll stay there until this gets fixed.

    Now I'm all about decentralization and ETH has been one of my favorite projects since 'Nam. But I mean this is just ridiculous now. My bank hasn't even charged me this much in over 3 years and I have made several thousand transaction with them over the years. One $10 transaction with ETH is $34? Man I almost can't even believe it. I know about ETH 2.0 but even that has already been pushed back before.

    For ETH, I just don't even see the point of using it anymore, it's too expensive. When you want to send someone any amount of money, you have to throw a handful of your own cash into the garbage bin.

    I really hope they dev team can fix this issue before it get's really out of hand. $35 fee on a $1,000 transaction is... understandable, but $10? The barrier for entry will soon be too high for new users to feel comfortable getting into it.

    14,255 Accounts in last distribution with NO REDDIT VAULT

    Since the next distribution is about to begin I was thinking to open the .csv file once and is see how many accounts have no moon address / reddit vault. This to my surprise has fallen larger than thought, there are 14,255 accounts that have NO Reddit vault which is 32,2%.

    • - There are 44,301 accounts present in the .csv file so this is only valid for those who participated round 16.
    • - 30,046 accounts have a Reddit vault.
    • - 14,255 accounts do NOT have a Reddit vault. (32.2%)
    • 263059 Karma of all accounts together.

    I would like to put out a call to everyone, if you see anyone with no Reddit vault, please send this link and recommend they open one: https://www.reddit.com/community-points/

    32.2% accounts don't have a Reddit vault...

    Stay safe!

    Tipping Moons

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 08:11 PM PDT

    Every moon distribution I've been around for, I've been diligent in voting on the governance polls. However, I'm learning that I haven't been following up close enough as far as which ones passed or not.

    I found out yesterday that the poll that would allow us to tip up to 100 moons per distribution cycle without losing our 20% holding bonus, passed!

    I've had a few members tip me moons, including u/ethereumflow, u/crypto_grandma, u/xrporbust and I appreciated it every single time

    From here on out, I vow to hit that 100 tipped moon threshold every cycle as well, and I encourage others to do the same!

    I'm far from being a moon whale, but I have a few, and these moons literally cost me nothing. I would love to pay it forward and help some of the newer members out a little bit

    At the time of making this post, I'm at 9,238 moons. By Wednesday, I will be at 9,138.

    Why I absolutely despise banks

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:40 AM PDT

    So this text is a personal rant about the banking system. On Friday I went to a local national bank agency to discuss my ongoing process of getting a almost 15,000$ loan for my home renovations. After being there and talking to an agent for basically an hour they presented me with a receipt for which I had to pay: -95$ for the hour I spent with their agent (as it supposedly interrupted their daily schedule, even though I booked the meeting with 4 days in advance) ; -34$ for a 4 page copy of the proposed loan (I guess the ink in their printers is made of gold); -150$ for a maintenence fee of my account (this one is the most outrageous one)

    Why should I pay that much for them to hold my money for a year? So much money for some copies? This is absolutely ridiculous. Can we please finally get a crypto revolution for these companies to end once and for all?

    Sorry about this rant, but I am still fuming about this situation.

    Ps: the values described are converted from EUR to USD

    Thanks to crypto this immigrant has finally moved into his very own house.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 03:27 AM PDT

    Just finished moving in into my first house. I and my father had invested in crypto for more than 6 years now and it would not have been possible without it. I am the first person in my family to not live in a rented apartment anymore.

    Crypto is the only possible way that my rags to riches story would have been possible. As a kid growing up in India I would have never thought this would have been possible so soon. I still holding most of my BTC and altcoins as I see them go up in value. Thank you to crypto and to this community for always believing in cryptocurrency and the benefits it brings to civilization.

    What is your prediction on the Moon/Karma ratio? I will tip 5 Moons to the person that is exactly right in 3 days.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:11 AM PDT

    So with the snapshot date around the corner we can calculate what the Moon/Karma ratio will be for this round and by that we can already calculate how much Moons you will get the week after that. My rough prediction of the ratio would be: 0.187 Moon per Karma earned this Month. I am really curious about others prediction, because this month we probably got many more users on this subreddit and I am really curious if y'all think that has decreased the ratio much or if it did not affect the ratio at all. Don't forget to Vote next week and hodl your Moons to get the extra 25%. Have a great day!

    Edit: by the way, I will repost this with the winner in 3 days, when everything is calculated! Edit 2: Thx for the silver

    Does your wife/girlfriend or partner know how often you check crypto charts and r/CryptoCurrency?

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 03:05 PM PDT

    Just curious, my wife has no idea what is really going on through my head when it comes to crypto. She knows about Moons but thinks crypto is a big scam and doesn't want to hear a thing about it. So I don't/can't talk with her about it. I have this online community of like-minded folks who may be just as insane about crypto as I am, and who fantasize about their future of not (or only partially) working a job.

    What do all your wives / GF's / partners think about crypto in general? Do you talk with them about it? Did they get sick of hearing about it from you, like mine did, and you turned to Reddit to find friends who are equally as passionate? Does anyone wanna go to a beach with me some day and drink beers / margaritas together, cheers-big because we made it? Love you guys!

    Unpopular Opinion: Cardanos Price is purely Speculative as Cardano currently offers no Big Real World use

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:26 AM PDT

    Cardano is currently offering no real world use, every price increase is speculation on more people hoping on actual adoption.

    This speculation will still have too much volume for a crypto "just" adopting smart contracts.

    Smart contracts is a feature many other cryptocurrencies have while being fast and not taking much fees (XLM). The speculation acts like Cardano would adopt a ground breaking never seen before innovation, even while it is considered a more basic feature by some people by now.

    (I like Cardano and even own some myself)

    Let's talk about Exit Strategies and Profit Taking!

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    Introduction:

    • Having experienced how deceitful, insanely volatile and punishing a full blown crypto Bear market can be back in 2018, I'll be the first to tell you how vital a planned Exit strategy is in order to maximize profit and minimize losses. So let's dive in.
    • Many, including myself, believe we follow the lengthening 4 year cycle with a current bull market, where we for example will see a 2nd top in late 2021, or most likely early-mid 2022 before a probably Bear market.
    • A "Black swan event" beforehand, such as stock-market crash, increased interest rates or the dreaded Infrastructure bill smashing the stable coins can incite a sudden bear market.
    • Not taking profits, trying to time the top (spoiler: you will not), being to greedy or too attached to your investment (echo chambers) are the most common, and yet severe mistake us rookies do.
    • The charts will not go up in a straight line forever, and there will come a time somewhere in the future where we go downwards before going up again.
    • The goal should in most cases be to have a predetermined Step-by-Step Strategy, that you can live with yourself should it go further than you expected, crash more/before you expected.
    • If you can sell high and buy in lower, you increase your position and gains. More Sats, baby!

    When you invest, you should already have decided what you want:

    1. What is your realistic price target/expected top? Is it in % gain, or is it a $ or Sats your goal?
    2. How much gain will satisfy you? How much loss can you take before you close the position/admit your mistake?
    3. Which do you consider high or low risk?
    4. Which are your short term holds? Which are long term holds?
    5. Are you taking profits from Alts into BTC? Crypto into gold/metals, stocks or FIAT?
    6. How do you want your portfolio to look like once the bear market happens? 20% BTC, 10% ETH and rest FIAT? 50% gold and 50% stabile coins?
    7. When do you Enter again for the next cycle?

    Thoughts on strategy:

    • Many start by taking out their initial investment as a start, but this typically leads to more riskier and often bad decisions with the rest of your crypto trying to time the top.
    • Many investors will keep 5-10% of their holdings, just in case of a bigger up-cycle or because they firmly believe in the project.
    • By DCA (dollar-cost averaging) OUT you will most likely "time" the top better than you ever would trying to find the peak
    • Hence, most "expert" investors recommend the predetermined step-by-step plan, for when and how much profits you are going to take.
    • This is typically done with limit/stop orders that is set beforehand, as the market progresses.

    And make the "profit taking road" ready!

    1. When the time comes, make sure to have your assets on the exchange or wallet needed to take profit. Have in mind many exchanges will "crash" when we get to the top!
    2. Do you have enough gas in your e.g. BTC, ETH or BNB etc. account to cover potential insane Tx/swap fees of the thousands or millions trying to use the network?
    3. Does your bank approve FIAT deposits from your exchange?
    4. Have you calculated the tax implications?

    As an example, here is my current Exit Strategy for BTC (this is getting long, so simplified):

    • I believe might see a BTC peak $150 - 200k, then a drop potentially back to 60k.
    • My upside trigger of limit orders will be when BTC is closing in on $90k.
    1. 20% sell at 88 k
    2. 20% at 98 k
    3. 10% at 108 k
    4. 10% at 118 k
    5. 10% at 128 k
    6. 10% at 138 k
    7. 10% at 148 k
    8. 10% to try to time the peak or HODL in cause of crazy upcycle (not decided).
    • My downside of stop loss from a unexpected "early" peak/downtrend:
    1. If BTC - 25% from presumed peak, 35%
    2. If BTC - 50%, sell rest of assets but leaving 10% of BTC.
    • I will buy/DCA on the way down again, hopefully increase my BTC position by >2 times.

    Closing:

    • I'd love constructive feedback on my strategy, and by any means feel free to share your BTC or ALT-coin Exit Strategy! Hopefully we can inspire some of the new Redditors, and all learn something new.

    EDIT 1:

    • I did not expect all these downvotes. I'd like to explain why "forever HODL" might not be the smartest thing. Back in 2018-2019 I had the same mentality as many of you "NEVER SELL, ILL HODL UNTIL I DONT HAVE TO SELL"... and sat and watched my portfolio decline with 90-95% of its peak value. I still have not forgiven myself (it's horrible) for not having an Exit Plan. I could have EASY 2-3 x my current positions and now gains! You want MORE crypto? This is the way.

    Edit 2:

    • I'm still looking for inspiration to modify my strategy by going through the comments. No one have a profit taking strategy for BTC, ETH or Alts? Come on guys!

    Does anyone else get turned off when a community starts shilling a coin's price projection?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:17 AM PDT

    Like I'm all in for listening to technical characteristics of a coin, but coins like XTZ (which is where I mostly noticed this) and meme coins have communities that constantly shill the coin for monetary gains.

    Or they would go on about how this coin is a opportunity of a life time. I get so annoyed by this type of mentality that I don't even go look at their white paper or research about the coin.

    If you believe the coin has great utility, why would you spend so much time on shilling it's price projection? I don't know about you guys but I consider coins that are the least shilled about their price more likeable than others.

    Edit: For people thinking I'm only hating on XTZ while not talking about ADA, I made a post about it while it was reaching the ATH.

    Thanks to this guy for encouraging me to write this post

    Is Crypto big part of your retirement plan?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:01 AM PDT

    I would want to know how many of you are actually relying on Crypto to provide you means for (hopefully early) retirement. I'm talking about using Crypto as an alternative or supplement to more traditional methods.

    Seeing as more and more people in my country are strugging to get by during their retirement I'm thinking about making crypto my main retirement plan. I will still pay minimum amount that is required for personal, government backed retirement plan but right now I don't believe that my government will take care of me during my late years. I think it's time to take things into my hands.

    What's your opinion?

    ADA Cardano is breaking out!

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:08 AM PDT

    Cardano is currently breaking out. It will keep rising till the launch on 12th September and then it will dip a bit.

    Price prediction - $3.1 by next week

    Current Price - $2.91

    Cardano began as the third generation blockchain network. In comparison, Bitcoin and Ethereum are considered to belong to the first and second generations of blockchain technology. It aims to compete with Ethereum by being a more secure, scalable, and efficient network. However, Cardano is trying to achieve what Ethereum has done consistently for a long time.

    While investors have turned their focus and attention to ADA in a big way, there are still some questions on whether it has the potential to repeat the success of Ethereum.

    Cardano vs Ethereum

    The network that Cardano hopes to emulate and surpass is Ethereum. That is because Ethereum supports decentralized apps, DeFi, NFT and smart contracts. It is something that Cardano also promises to do, and in a better way.

    The Cardano network works on "proof of stake" unlike Ethereum's "proof of work." When a miner tries to validate a Cardano transaction, they have to show the coins they hold as proof of stake. In the case of Ethereum, a miner has to validate the transaction through proof of work which involves working out a puzzle, which takes more time and consumes more energy.

    Bitcoin staying at the 30k-50k range with stable volume and relatively low google search activity is extremely bullish.

    Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:27 AM PDT

    Bitcoin staying at the 30k-50k range with stable volume and relatively low google search activity is extremely bullish.

    According to CoinDesk, "Google Searches for 'Bitcoin Price' Reach 7-Month Low" was written on July 15 2021.

    As you see, "bitcoin price" peaked at 100 during the day where Elon Musk started to cause a dump to the market heavily. It fell to a low to 28 shortly after, to the December levels when bitcoin was just 10k-30k.

    https://preview.redd.it/bcb9j07uz8k71.png?width=1184&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8a774e336c2c782144e96b2a55d15e4bc7dae13

    During the late 2020-early 2021, volume was huge. Meaning, very big amounts of buying and selling within the timespan.

    https://preview.redd.it/qvwz6h7ez8k71.png?width=1534&format=png&auto=webp&s=dee2089cc7c0278d3d5602105bd99c16e4bc136e

    The red and green bars are the volume. As you can see the last few weeks had underwhelming volume.

    But that to me, is really bullish, at least to me (remember, not financial advice don't know shit about fuck).

    We are consolidating at the $30k-50k levels. That means that less people or institutions have been buying and selling. They are holding. Lack of search interest by retailers tells us crypto is dead to them for another 2 years, thinking a bear market.

    So most likely it tells us that, the bubble HAS burst and we had returned to normal, we had been close to the bottom, most of the panic sellers have been shaken out or people are aligning themselves to long term. This puts us to simply wait for more institution movement in the future, and a massive mania pump can put us to 6 digits.

    Do you tell your freinds/family that you own crypto?

    Do you tell your freinds/family that you own crypto?

    I personally don't tell anyone. I accidently made the mistake of telling my brother once. For the next three months, he pestered me to get him into it, despite me telling him I wasn't. Don't get me wrong, I want adoption to happen, and think he would like crypto. That being said, I refused to set it up for him, as we've all heard the horror stories. He eventually set himself up, and now loves it as much as I do.

    So, do you tell your freinds/family that you own crypto?

    Congress received more 40,000 calls from Crypto Enthusiasts before the senate vote on the Infrastructure Bill, and are starting to take us seriously

    Posted: 28 Aug 2021 07:54 AM PDT

    As Many of you probably know the Infrastructure Bill was recently passed in the senate, which has some big changes to the way that cryptocurrencies are regulated. This bill is quite stupid, and it is clear that the people who designed it do not understand cryptocurrency. They define Brokers much too broadly, and would require KYC for a ridiculous amount of users.

    Anyways, the Crypto community was quite outraged about this. There were many posts and comments asking people to call their local senators.

    From the article:

    Digital Rights organization Fight for The Future said that it saw more than 40,000 calls to congress ahead of the Senate Infrastructure vote.

    "I think it's the first time that lawmakers have taken crypto seriously on a broad scale, so we're able to have a different level of conversation than we've been able to have in the past because they know that so many of their constituents care."

    -Kristin Smith

    I am disappointed that they voted to pass the bill anyways, but at least our voices were heard. I am proud of y'all.
