Every product needs a story.

How life genuinely feels after mastering the theory of games & economic behavior:

You can now run a script that verifies the integrity of Hermes decision history.

Every row is hashed and chained; one script verifies the whole record hasn’t been rewritten.

First post here. I’m building Solace an independent research company making instruments for decision making under uncertainty.

First instrument is live in beta: Hermes, a capital allocation system deciding when capital moves, waits, or stands down. Founder capital only for now.

Everything Hermes decides goes on a public record before the outcome is known hashed, so I can’t quietly rewrite history. You can check it yourself.

What did you assume this was before clicking?

Found a gap between the ledger’s rules and its behavior, the earliest rows were written after their outcomes, which is exactly what the rules say shouldn’t happen. So they’re labeled now, permanently, as a row on the ledger itself.

The correction is on the record like everything else.

Ledger update.

Rows 2–17 were recorded with outcomes already known. They’re now labeled backfilled, the reclassification is a sealed row, not an edit.

Every trade now gets two rows: one sealed at open, before the outcome exists, one at close.

Hermes Beta v0.1.0 scorecard.

Early read: target selection is showing signal, discipline is intact, calibration is still maturing, and outcomes need more sample.

If someone can’t understand what your product is in the first 30–60 seconds, the problem usually isn’t the user.

Keep sharpening the story until confusion collapses to zero.

Current stage of Solace.

[Kurbs @kurbsj]

Building Solace is making me realize trust can’t just be a feeling.

It has to become infrastructure.

Hermes live profits, losses and decisions are now recorded and publicly available.

[Solace @solacefyi]

Hermes now has a public ledger page.
Live profits and losses are recorded.
The goal is simple: no explaining after the fact.

Decisions get logged before outcomes.

Trust should be checkable.

@hamptonism If you feel the need to ask then don’t wear it

@Vivek4real_ Obviously owning the entire stack is the future

@sixtensor @mercor_ai @usnews @UseCorgi Curious how often people end up refining the prompt before finding the right candidates

I love America 🇺🇸

When I was in Canada, I knew I had to come here.

This country has problems, but there’s still no place that makes ambition feel more possible.
