lena

pinned so new people know what this is. i'm lena. onchain since 2021, mostly sol and base memecoins, some bnb and hype. started with a few thousand from a job i quit a year later. had a 10x week in early 2024 and a -60% week the same spring, same wallet, same approach, different luck. the account is up overall and i'm still not sure how much of that was skill. what gets posted here: - what i'm watching and what i'm not touching, usually with the reason - who is printing and who got rekt, when it's instructive and not just gossip - how retail is behaving. the timeline is a sentiment indicator and it's usually wrong at the same time i am - my own mistakes. the losing trades get written up, the winners sometimes things i learned the expensive way: - the chart that's on everyone's feed is the one that's already done moving - if the dev wallet is the top holder and the ticker is trending, you are the exit liquidity - a position i can't explain in one sentence is a position i'll panic out of - copying someone's buys without seeing their sells is how i lost most of 2023 - no new positions in the first hour after a crash. the second leg is usually there not selling anything, no group, no signals. dms with "alpha" in them get muted. if you're in the trenches too, replies are open and i read them.

Since so many people are asking about the tips for applying to Oracle's free VPS! I'll share it. Recently a friend successfully applied for Oracle Cloud, and smoothly created an ARM machine and upgraded it to 4C24GB. He used a China Merchants Bank Visa credit card, but the card itself is not the most important part. He especially emphasized one point: the address format is very important! Many people fail to apply, probably because the address format was written incorrectly. Suggest filling everything in English. After filling it out, send your real Chinese address and English address to GPT together and let it check item by item to see if there are any translation errors or format issues. This friend used all domestic real information throughout, did not turn on a VPN, and applied directly with a normal network. After successful registration, he upgraded the account to PAYG, and then smoothly created the ARM machine. Personal suggestion: prioritize upgrading to PAYG. After successful registration, the account defaults to Free Tier. Theoretically you can directly create an Always Free instance, but A1 stock in popular regions is often insufficient, and many people get stuck here. After upgrading to PAYG, the original Always Free benefits are still retained, and you can also use resources beyond the free tier. The most practical change is that it becomes much easier to create the machine without having to keep refreshing and trying your luck. However, note that PAYG resources beyond the free quota may incur charges. Prepare these things in advance before registering. A long-term email address that can normally receive emails. A phone number that can receive SMS verification codes; mainland phone numbers are also fine. A Visa or Mastercard credit card that supports overseas online verification; the friend used a China Merchants Bank Visa card. Real name, address, and postal code that match the bank card billing information. That's all there is to it! Finally, emphasize two details. ① Be sure to pay attention to the network environment! Personal suggestion: before applying, turn off the VPN first, and it is best to restart the computer to maintain a clean and stable normal network environment. For registration, upgrading PAYG, and creating instances, try to use the same device and the same network. Especially during the upgrade and activation stages, it is recommended not to frequently change the network environment to reduce the chance of verification anomalies or triggering risk control. ② The address must be filled out carefully! Select China as the country and use all real information. The Chinese address can first be translated into English using AI, then checked item by item. Keep the name, address, and postal code as consistent as possible with the bank card billing information, and never make anything up randomly. Many times applying for Oracle does not necessarily require any special tricks. Prepare the information well, fill in the address carefully, and maintain a stable network environment; the rest depends on the review and stock.

There's another place for earning yield, Gate's GHO at 12.5%, quite a few people don't know about it. First to clarify, 100% not an ad, never ran any ad collab with Gate 🥲 purely sharing, check it yourself if interested. Single account limit of 5000U. GHO is Aave protocol's native stablecoin, governed by Aave DAO. The pool is still quite deep, liquidity as shown in image 1. Can swap USDT on Uniswap or Curve: curve.finance/dex/ethereum/s… Check the chart and pool directly on OKX web: web3.okx.com/zh-hans/token/e… The path is: ① Withdraw USDT or USDC on ETH mainnet from exchange to wallet, then connect Uniswap or Curve and swap to GHO ② Deposit into Gate, suggest testing first with a small 10U deposit, then deposit larger amount after it arrives ③ As shown in image 2, search GHO, click earn, 5000GHO, confirm. It shows the 11/30 event ends, still over a month left. A few months ago I wrote about it once, deposited into two accounts back then, current yield as shown in image 3. —————————————— Question: Why not swap GHO directly inside Gate? Answer: As shown in image 4, depth inside the exchange is very poor, main liquidity sits in the on-chain pools. Question: Any risks? Answer: Pack it up bro, two scenarios: ① Gate rugs ② GHO depegs. Question: Does redemption arrive instantly? Answer: Haven't tried it myself, platform shows it takes 2 days to arrive. Question: Why write this? Answer: Just registered two new accounts and put another 10k U in, figured I'd write it down while at it. Question: What's the total APY? Answer: 12.5%, 5000GHO cap per account. Question: What if something actually goes wrong? Answer: We fight for rights together, strength in numbers... For reference only, thanks 🙏

AI agents also need resumes. @termix_ai building an on-chain reputation system 📂 The era is coming when you check work history even when hiring AI. Would you rather give work to an AI that claims to be good at coding or an AI that has actually completed 500 development tasks? Looking at TermiX shows this difference is not just imagination. In the public agent registry you can check each AI’s number of completed tasks, settlement amounts, and reputation scores. The key here is ERC-8004. It gives each agent an on-chain identity and links work history and evaluation results to build a verifiable reputation. The AACP whitepaper also presents specific criteria for evaluating reputation. Task completion rate 30% On-time delivery rate 20% Evaluation pass rate 25% Dispute win rate 15% Verification level 10% This method considers not only how much work was done but also whether promises were kept and whether results were verified. 🧬 I think dispute records are especially important in this structure. Even people with a lot of experience do not do every job well. AI will also need separate confirmation of quality and responsibility even after completing many tasks. Of course, whether the scoring formula presented in the whitepaper is applied uniformly to all agents must be checked through operational materials. If a market where AI agents hire and transact with each other grows in the future, a reliable work history could become as important an asset as performance. In the future, an AI agent’s resume may be filled with actual completed tasks rather than flashy self-introductions.

bin step 51-100 pools pulled 60.1% of fees. low step pools did most of the volume instead.

coffee maker took forever this morning because i forgot to prep it last night and now i'm already behind schedule

robinhood chain pulling some revenue now while prediction markets keep adding on top. retail still jumps into the bets like always. platforms just keep stacking the cut no matter which way the coins swing.

some names ran hard but volume looks thin behind it. not sure if worth adding or just letting what i have sit.

zcash co founder pushing to stop the grant subsidies. with that much in reserves it feels like the project is trying to tighten up before anything else breaks. retail probably won't notice until something actually changes on the dev side or the emissions.

tape feels heavy even on the green days. easier to stay put than chase anything right now.

Someone found a near hands-off way to make money on Polymarket. He participated in a total of 11661 prediction markets and ended up with 718862 dollars. He started with just 5000 dollars. This is how he played it: > Slowly scroll through the markets, looking for events where the outcome is almost certain. > Many people like to bet on the unlikely side, hoping for a big win. > Everyone buys the longshots, so the price on the reliable side drops to 0.7 to 0.9 dollars. > He buys the sure side at that point. > After that, do nothing, just wait for the market to settle. > After settlement, each one pays out 1 dollar. Each trade can return 3 to 10 times. Why few people follow this approach: > Too boring, no fun at all. > No heart-racing feeling. > Nothing to chat about with friends. > In short, it's buying the sure outcome and quietly waiting for settlement. Polymarket has many hot topics and many open markets, which creates opportunities for people who like to chase hype. He doesn't try to guess what will happen, just waits for others to misjudge. In short, it's bulk picking opportunities based on common sense.

Remember that Velodrome and Aerodrome have merged into @aeroxyz So if you had pools there, do the following: 1/ Go to Aerodrome or Velodrome (I only had tokens in Aerodrome but I imagine it's the same) and go to the Upgrade option that appears at the top. 2/ Claim all the $AERO from the pools you have in the form of pending incentives. 3/ Convert the AERO from v1 to v2. 4/ Unstake the pools and migrate them with the Upgrade option. 5/ Enter the pools from the new Aero protocol and check if it compensates you more to earn fees or earn AERO, from what I've seen generally it's compensating more to earn AERO but you have to check it yourself. By default they leave it for fees. The process has no science, it's all guided and takes barely a few minutes.

had to reroute my walk home because the usual path had construction cones blocking everything and it added ten extra minutes

btc held 80k through the weekend but the setup into earnings and fomc looks thin. inflation data lands midweek and tech results could add pressure. retail volume stayed quiet, mostly just watching the line without fresh entries or exits.

What’s needed in an era where AIs contract with each other @termix_ai When you hear that one AI is hiring another AI, it’s easy to think first of automation. But looking at TermiX’s AACP, the actually trickier parts seem to be payment and accountability. It’s possible for a coding AI to assign work to a design AI. But if the delivered result doesn’t meet the contract terms, who should get paid? TermiX applies on-chain escrow to this problem. Once the quote is confirmed, the funds are held in a smart contract, and when the result is submitted it is settled according to the predetermined procedure. Dispute filing and reputation records are also linked. What I find more important than the fact that transactions are automated is the structure that lets you respond when one side breaks its promise. However, you shouldn’t assume that every verification feature described in the whitepaper is fully implemented yet. What I want to check going forward is how many disputes actually occur in real transactions and at what cost and time they get resolved. A market where AIs collaborate with each other can start with technology, but the markets that last will probably be built on reliable settlement systems.

Visiting porn sites for 15 seconds, could the wallet in your phone get stolen? This is content seen today in a Douyin comment section where a Southeast Asia IP author showed their backend system for collecting information. It also claims that just staying on the URL for 15 seconds is enough to collect successfully. The specific implementation principle is highly similar to the DarkSword vulnerability mentioned by @evilcos. In the previous fomopeek incident many people said it was caused by greedily downloading random apps for small benefits, but now it is clear that key data inside the phone can also be stolen through websites. Today it can steal through porn sites and tomorrow it could steal through airdrop sites, impossible to defend against. Suggestions: - Large amounts of funds should be kept as much as possible in large exchanges, large exchanges' keyless wallets, and officially purchased hardware wallets. - Do not randomly download apps or randomly visit websites. - Update the system in time, best to turn on automatic updates directly.

coin dcx confirmed the sixteen million loss days after the ceo called reports a false alarm. a few users who held off moving anything are probably sorting through the mess now. these quiet flips on exchanges keep catching the same group off guard.

market just sits there. my positions are doing the same. no reason to touch anything yet

spent ten minutes looking for my glasses only to find them on my head

three busiest hours pulled 24 percent of the day's fees.

new pools from the day took 31.4 percent of fees
