Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?
Yeah-- Me neither. But I did do 9 figures in MEV liquidations...then lost it all.

@0xz80 Just a thought to shortcut into being able to use SQL, since cryo is capturing into parquet, you could suck in the data via duckdb and then you'd have direct SQL access. There's also the polars SQL library but it's a lot less robust.
@ijaack94 For those of us that were planning to wait until the last second to transition our tags...is there somewhere we can still access old snow trace?
@nonsens3, @NathanWorsley_, and I spent the last couple years running one of the dominant MEV bots on @avalancheavax. We learned a bunch of lessons about graph algorithms, networking, the EVM, and more that I share in my blog post below.

@danielmckinn0n@nonsens3@NathanWorsley_ @avalancheavax Thanks for telling your story gents!! This was awesome to hear from the arb side of things. Whats so great about your story my story and @etheraael 's story from a searcher's perspective is that it's like reading everyone's simultaneous views of the same timeline.

@LalwaniVikas I will try to! Im really happy a lot of people connected with the post. Its been a wild ride, I'd love to get into individual stories of various times.
@filmfranz@etheraael@ThogardPvP Thank you for the kind words! I enjoyed writing it!
You can only do it for so long :) I'm going to start a home for retired searchers. We'll all do simple things like eat snacks, steal nuclear launch codes and cure cancer.
@joaorcsilva Pretty much! You I was essentially coding for every single thing that could go wrong, and test tirelessly hoping for that moment, that one opportunity. That said before may, it was still printing all day every day just those insane moments would be during liquidation events.
@allocatooor Aw i'm sorry! It's tough out there. And its all true. But one thing I'll say is you can never replace the technical expertise and skills you'll pickup along the way. That's huge value that can't be understated.
@Bernstein_v_US I know! It's amazing how similar everyone is. Right time, right place, right effort :)
Just like the dire straight song: "We were the Sultan's of swing!"
