How much would you put into bitcoin? All of it? Half of it? $100,000 of it? $20,000? I don’t need to hear what else you’d do with the money like (“I’d pay my mortgage off first”) obviously I know many people would do stuff like that to make their lives easier now, makes sense. But just talking about the bitcoin side of things. How much confidence and trust would you put into your bitcoin portfolio? I’m not looking for investment advice. I just want to know what YOU would do.

Hellow ML/Al folks,

I’m working on an upcoming Machine Learning in Quantitative Finance conference, my role is to outreach and engage relevant professionals.

While I’ve handled other events before, this field is new to me. I’d appreciate any quick tips, resources, or key concepts to get up to speed.

Also, if you have advice on how to approach senior roles (MDs, Heads of Departments, Chiefs, Presidents) effectively in this space.

Thanks

* A lot of potential, but ultimately disappointing right now
* It completed the first task I gave it decently (taking a list of 200 companies I found on a Forbes link spread out over five pages, and putting them into a spreadsheet), especially compared with Deep Research which I tried to get to do the same task yesterday and failed miserably. However, even though the agent was able to ultimately complete the task, it stopped working several times due to context limits and confusion, and had to be re-prompted.
* Continuing on from the above task, I then asked it to find the LinkedIn links for every company and put them in a new column in the spreadsheet. ~~Again, it achieved this pretty admirably but it stopped several times and needed to be told to “continue”.~~ **EDIT -** I just looked at the spreadsheet and it didn’t actually complete the task. It stopped halfway through, leaving half of the spreadsheet entries without a Linkedin link.
* It appears that Agent can’t open and read PDF documents when linked on a webpage. It will click the link, but the tab it opens up in its browser is blank.
* I tried to ask it to complete several steps on a website that involved clicking on different links and putting some documents into different “stages”. It followed the first part of my instructions, but completely ignored the second part. **I try to prompt it very explicitly, just like I’m explaining to a person. Maybe this is not the right approach?**
* The “browsing context” limit appears to be really short. Maybe that’s common knowledge for everyone else. I’m not a power user, so I haven’t come up against this problem before. I tried an experiment where I asked the agent to log into my grocery store account, look at all my purchases from 2025, dedupe them, and put it into a spreadsheet. It did decently from a technical standpoint (clicking around on the right things, putting into a spreadsheet in the correct format, etc), but it gave up far before completing the task due to running out of browser context.

I haven’t found any task yet that I could just “set and forget” like in the OpenAI videos. Every task needed to be babysat from afar just incase it stopped halfway through (which each one did).

As I said at the beginning, there is a ton of potential here, and I’m going to keep testing. It was exciting to see it complete the one task successfully, and attempt to complete the others.

**Is anyone else coming up against the browser context limit?**

**Has anyone else been able to get it to open and read PDFs by clicking on a link in a browser?**

I’m doing some local SEO for a firm and came across a business with two sites, two GBPs (!), using what looks like a massive doorway page setup across several sites.

They’ve got thousands of pages like:

/repair-and-service-centre-stockport.php

/repair-and-service-centre-cheadle.php

/repair-and-service-centre-manchester.php

Same content every time. Just the town name swapped. No real local relevance. Thin copy, no useful information. Textbook doorway spam.

But here’s what stands out. You can type anything you like in the URL and it still works. For example, you can insert…

/repair-and-service-centre-big-boobs.php

/repair-and-service-centre-wife-from-thailand.php

…or anything you want in the URL. The site just dynamically inserts whatever you put in the URL. It’s all templated. Anyone with a script could generate thousands of these in a few minutes.

This stuff is ranking well in local results. I’ve reported it through the Google report page a few times, but nothing ever seems to happen. I don’t even know if they read them?

How is this still working in 2025? Has Google just given up on this type of spam?

If anyone’s curious, I put together a short list of example URLs here: [https://pastebin.com/Wd4Bq6Yt](https://pastebin.com/Wd4Bq6Yt) \- It includes working manipulated URLs and examples of their broader spam setup. They lead you to manipulated versions too, lists of their pages doing it – all of it. How to get this network of spam actually noticed by Google?

I’d be interested to know if anyone’s actually managed to get something like this taken down, or if we’re all just wasting our time with the report form. And more to the point, wasting our time trying to do local SEO properly? If rubbish like this still works, we may as well all just put up sites with a few thousand spammy doorway pages full of AI slop for every customer.

Hello,

I’ve day trade successfully in 2024 (always cash out before market close). I was making 2k USD+ per trading day for about 7 months consistently causing my ego to balloon that I finally figured it out after years of learning the stock market. Doesn’t matter if the it goes up, down, it’s just green by end of day. Hence, I felt invincible and untouchable. Even sent a nice resignation letter to my previous job.

Until…

I tilted one day and lost to my emotions and broke pretty much all my rules and went the unspeakable, forbidden no-no. I went… yolo. I was simply like Icarus.

Good thing I’m always on cash accounts. In a nutshell my finance basically ended up like your average joe smuck.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t trade for a while after that blow because my strategy requires significant capital to safely execute.

But after a year, I’m closer to my ideal capital again to execute my strategy.

But this time.

I’m trying to get the emotion out of the equation. Hence, algo trading. What I learned from that experience is my worst enemy is myself.

I have fullstack knowledge in web dev. Enough to build my own web apps and launch them.

Here’s the setup I’m thinking. Forgive me as I never done algo trading before. Only manual day trading (specifically scalp trades – 250+trades or more per day)

– I’m thinking of building my own private web app that communicate to a broker using restapi. The broker has a way to send market data on a specific stock (ideally in json) especially option ask/bid price and I my web app will communicate back also (ideally in json) to execute trades.

So I’m looking for a broker that accomodate that kind of trading even if there are monthly or data fees involved. A Canadian or a US broker is preferred. I’ve been a user of questrade. I just need broker names, and I will start from that direction.

Thanks in advance.

You might not understand what I mean in the title . Let me clear . So I got a client and she has a e-commerce store but the thing the products she is selling is not globally recognised even very few of you might know about this product . Even she’s not interested running ads or anything. Well , I can’t share what the products are but just a hind – they produce products from different tribes and sell them .

**MistCoin, Father of ERC-20**

In 2015, before ERC-20 existed, Ethereum’s Mist browser team quietly deployed a token called MistCoin, a prototype, not meant to trade.

Sixteen days later, the ERC-20 standard was proposed. MistCoin became the spark. The prototype. The father of everything that followed.

A Forgotten Token Reborn

In 2022, MistCoin was wrapped for trading ($WMC), but never truly revived.

Now, on Ethereum’s 10-year anniversary, MistCoin returns unwrapped, for the first time ever, tradeable as $MC, natively on ERC-20.

The first ever ERC-20 token $MC which is a collectible and not tradable. Only tradable via Wrapped MistCoin until now.

* The first token.
* The first act.
* The Adam of Ethereum.
* The Father of ERC-20.

**For the first time ever you can now trade MistCoin $MC unwrapped.**

Check out the tokenomics and official links down below for more information about this gem of a project! **Don’t miss out on this!!!!!**

**$TOKENOMICS**

* Token Name: MistCoin
* Token Symbol: MC
* Network: ERC20
* Contract Address: 0xD8f8e1bcb80373CEBDD6b6c8e0139CfFDeA9D3C6
