A 9 CARD RTX 3070 RIG MADE $3 A DAY MINING ETHEREUM IN 2021, THE SAME RIG NOW RENTS TO AI STARTUPS ON VAST AI FOR $1,200 A MONTH
00:05 he points at the rig, "here is my rig with 9 RTX 3070s and it actually makes $3, mining ethereum, money goes directly to my binance wallet"
he ran the same 9 card rig through 2022 mining ethereum on the high1 pool, the merge in september killed gpu mining for everyone without their own power plant
he sat on the dead rig for 3 years, in early 2026 he installed the vast ai host stack on ubuntu, listed all 9 cards at $0.18 an hour and went live the same evening
each RTX 3070 now nets about $130 a month renting to AI startups that can't get GPU access from AWS or Azure, the rig clears $1,200 a month after electricity and platform fees
nvidia can't ship H100s fast enough so smaller AI companies pay whatever the marketplace charges, the mining infrastructure built for ethereum is the inference infrastructure for chatgpt and claude now

Met a guy making $1.6 million a year.
Three days ago he was at a Meta conference. Told me he saw the best AI talk of his life.
Boris Cherny was on stage. Showed how the Anthropic team actually uses Claude day to day.
Boris deleted his IDE eight months ago. Now he codes from his phone.
I watched it last night. Had to pause it twice.
Not because it was hard. Because I realized I've been using Claude like a toy.
He sent me the recording. It was never published.
Posting it below.
I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet
Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets.
Here's the whole thing:
> Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code
> Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it
> Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it
> Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this"
> Ask questions across everything, forever
Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.

This bot made +$60,000 in one month trading 5-minute markets on Polymarket!
Account: https://t.co/VE7mju7ptz
+$27,000 over the last week.
+$2,000/day!
Best trades:
$1,913 -> $4,380
$1,552 -> $3,465
$1,833 -> $3,738
The bot uses two strategies.
1. Asymmetric spread trading:
> buys both outcomes (Up + Down)
> larger size on the outcome favored by the model
> small profit if correct
> small loss if wrong
> edge appears across thousands of trades
2. Fast scalping:
> buys $500-1,000 right after market open
> sells after a 1-3% move
> typically captures $5-30 per trade
Both strategies require high volume and come with significant fee costs.
So far the bot has paid over $40,000 in taker fees.
At the same time, it has earned +$25,000 in maker rebates.
Current net profit: +$45,000.
An important reminder: PnL without fees means very little.
Many bots show a profitable PnL chart but end up losing money after fees.
Modern trading bots must account for commissions, slippage, and execution quality - not just strategy performance.
This bot does exactly that.
23-YEAR-OLD BUILT AN AI-CODED APP TO $20K/MONTH IN 50 DAYS
Connor’s apps now do $1M+/year in sales
his latest app, Payout, was built in under 2 weeks with AI and won a hackathon with 55,000+ entrants
the playbook:
> don’t build social apps
> build simple utility apps
> copy what is already validated
> screenshot 20 competitors
> rebuild the best onboarding patterns in Figma
> make the paywall emotional, personal, and obvious
> give Claude a JSON doc of your data structures
> ship 1-3 core features fast
the growth loop:
> partner with niche creators
> make relatable UGC
> find the videos that work organically
> turn winners into paid ads
> optimize for yearly subscriptions
his stack:
> Claude Code
> Figma
> Expo
> Next.js + TypeScript
> Vercel
> Mixpanel
> RevenueCat
the lesson:
a simple app with a great onboarding can beat a complex app with bad distribution

Claude Code ran 36 hours straight and shipped a payment-ready SaaS while I slept.
One change made it possible.
Everyone builds the master plan first. The 200-line spec that scopes the whole project.
That’s the mistake.
I added 1 step before it.
A meta-planning pass. Before any code, Claude Code stops and asks one question:
“What still needs a human here?”
API keys. Stripe setup. Vercel config. PostHog events. The boring 100% that turns a demo into a live product.
So it maps every tool, MCP server, skill, and browser session it needs to do that work itself.
Then it provisions them.
By hour 30 it was inside the Stripe dashboard. Wiring checkout. Testing a live charge.
Then Vercel. Then PostHog.
No keys pasted by me. No dashboards opened by me.
Old way: you babysit the agent and click the buttons it can’t reach.
New way: the agent reaches the buttons.
36 hours. 0 manual config. 1 step nobody adds.
markov chains are simple but powerful.
they model systems where the next state depends on the current state.
not the whole past.
• states → possible conditions
• transitions → ways the system moves
• probabilities → uncertainty with structure
• memorylessness → only now matters
• steady state → long term behavior emerges
weather.
markets.
language.
biology.
robot navigation.
queues.
markov chains teach you a brutal systems lesson:
complex behavior can emerge from simple transition rules.
5 reasons Kimmy K 2.7 + Obsidian works so well:
→ Kimmy handles coding tasks
→ Obsidian stores long-term memory
→ MCP connects agents to the vault
→ Agent OS keeps everything organized
→ Every agent reads from the same brain
That means less repeating.
Less lost context.
More compounding output.
Save this video, you’ll build AI systems that remember.

$10,000 a month from a SaaS you built with Claude is real. 9 in 10 people chasing it never clear $0.
Here’s the part the hype skips.
Building stopped being the hard part. Claude ships a working MVP in a weekend now. So does everyone else’s.
The moat moved. It’s 50 people who will pay you every month. That’s the whole game.
Honest timeline:
First paying customer takes 2 to 3 months, not 2 days.
Most micro-SaaS dies under $500 MRR.
The ones that clear $10K charge real prices and grind distribution every single day.
What those accounts actually do:
1. Pick a boring, narrow problem. Invoicing for plumbers beats “AI assistant for everyone.”
2. Charge $40-100 a month. 200 customers at $50 is $10K . 200 is reachable. 20,000 free users is not.
3. Use Claude for the unglamorous work too - support replies, onboarding docs, cold email drafts.
4. Ship distribution, not just product. 1 channel, posted daily, for 6 months.
The trap: rebuild the product 10 times, talk to 0 customers. Claude made building cheap, so building is worthless as an edge.
Spend the saved time where the money is - in front of people who have the problem.
Claude builds the product in a weekend. The customers still take a year.
This guy built a fortune trading weather markets and BTC Up/Down.
His monthly profit reached an insane $400,000.
Total PnL: $668,000
Think there’s a secret? There isn’t one.
→ uses @weatherscan_bot
→ finds underpriced markets
→ follows his own strategy
→ repeats it
→ takes profit
No hype. No crypto lottery.
Just data, discipline and execution.
While everyone is chasing the next random 100x, he is quietly printing from the most ignored markets on Polymarket.
I’d watch this trader closely.
Because while others ignore these setups, you can be early enough to study his strategy and copy the best trades before the crowd notices.

every time you click buy, someone on the other side already solved for two numbers
you don't even know the names of
number one: their theoretical fair value. not the price on your screen. not the analyst target
their own model, updated in real time from order flow, volatility surface, and live inventory
they already know what the asset is "really" worth before you've opened the chart
number two: the probability you have information they don't. market makers call it adverse selection
they literally price the spread based on how likely you are to know something. wide spread means they think you might
tight spread means they think you're just noise
here's what makes this brutal
you spent 4 hours reading the earnings call, studying the chart, checking reddit
the other side of your trade spent 40ms
not reading faster - solving a completely different equation

you were asking "is this a good buy?"
they were asking "what's the chance this person has real alpha and how much margin do i need if they do?"
two different games running on the same order book at the same time
most retail traders don't know the second game exists
and that's the entire edge right there
I highly recommend this book!

"Mathematical trading means defining every aspect of your approach in quantifiable terms and executing those terms with discipline. This starts with position sizing, arguably the most important mathematical concept in trading."
A 17-year-old says he makes $1 million a month from one app. You take a picture of your food and it counts the calories.
No degree. No team you'd recognize.
The app is called Cal AI. Point your phone at a meal and it returns the calorie count instantly.
The whole pitch is one sentence: snap a photo, get the calories. He built it to be simpler than MyFitnessPal, where most people quit because logging food by hand is tedious. He cut the work down to a single tap.
He's 17 and building mobile consumer apps for a living. One camera, one number, and an app doing seven figures a month while most people his age are in class.
Note: $1 million a month is his own claim in the clip, unverified. Cal AI is real and was co-founded by two teenagers, so the figure is reported by the founder, not confirmed revenue.
A 17-year-old, one photo, and a million a month off counting calories.
A 19 year old built an AI girl in one evening.
Last month she made $21,847.
One guy sent her $200, then came back the next day.
Another has spent over $4,000 this year.
He thinks she's real.
She isn't.
The entire thing runs from a laptop on his parents' WiFi.
Total cost: $21 a month.
That's the part that feels fake.
Not the revenue.
The barrier to building it.
A year ago this would've taken a team.
Now it's a weekend project.
Local businesses lose thousands of dollars a month because they have no system to collect Google reviews.
Someone built the fix in an afternoon and charges $500/month for it.
Here's exactly how it works.
A customer pays at a restaurant through Square or books through Calendly. 2 hours later, Zapier fires a trigger. The customer gets a text with a 1-tap link directly to the Google review page. The restaurant owner touched nothing.
The SaaS itself has 4 components:
→ Automated SMS with personalized messages so each text reads like it came from that specific restaurant
→ Direct review link so customers don't have to search for the business
→ Separate dashboard login for every business on the backend
→ Analytics page showing the owner exactly how many reviews came in this week, this month, all time
That analytics page is the retention mechanism. Visual proof that the tool works is what keeps owners paying month after month without questioning the invoice.
The build happened inside Emergent — no hosting, no server setup, handles everything end-to-end. Design was based on a Mercury-style dashboard so it looks like something a business owner would actually trust and show to their staff.
Total build time: 1 afternoon. 1 detailed prompt. Full-stack system with database, login, and messaging.
$500/month per location. Nail 10 local businesses and that's $5,000/month recurring from a tool you built once.
Every restaurant, dentist, gym, and salon in your city needs this. Most have no system at all.
The market is sitting there.
Your bot is losing because of WRONG data source.
Leaderboard bot owners take it form another place.
Here's where we get the data and how to tap most of it for free:
The basic mistake is polling.
Your bot asks "any updates?" every second like a human refreshing the page.
The pros subscribe to a stream that pushes data the instant it changes.
One fires when ready, one gets there first.
Here are the real sources:
> Binance websocket feed
Binance leads the Polymarket CLOB by about 1 second on crypto markets.
Wire your bot to the real Binance ws and you're seeing the future of the Polymarket book.
> Chainlink price feeds
Free, real-time, and authenticated with an HMAC API.
Most devs don't know this exists cause nobody talks about it.
> NOAA gov socket for weather markets
Official US weather data has a real-time feed that beats most third-party APIs by several seconds.
> Hidden websockets on news sites
A lot of data providers run a live ws behind their slow public page.
Watch the page's own network traffic with mitmproxy or websocat and you'll find it.
Turns a 2-second poll into a live push feed.
> Your own CLOB and Gamma recordings
None of the above replaces your own tick data.
Record every tick, full book depth, every resolution.
That's your backtest foundation and nobody else has it.
The pros aren't smarter about signals.
They're faster about data, and most of their sources are free.
I built 700+ bots and dirty data killed more of them than bad strategy ever did.

Fix the inputs before you touch the logic.
i stopped manual backtesting because claude opus 4.5 can run entire trading systems while i sleep.
this agent just turned hours of coding into minutes and i am showing you exactly how to integrate it into your own setup for free.
stop building from scratch and start letting ai do the heavy lifting before the rest of the market catches on.
