Do we really have Nigerian Indie Developers who Create Games?

You can't engineer luck.

Cleanest phrasing of P vs NP I've heard.

NP is the magical computer that always tells you which path to take. P is what current silicon can do. Tetris is NP-complete. Chess is EXP-complete.

Kraken Security Update

We are currently being extorted by a criminal group threatening to release videos of our internal systems with client data shown if we do not comply with their demands. It’s important to start with the most important points: our systems were never breached; funds were never at risk; we will not pay these criminals; we will not ever negotiate with bad actors.

Kraken identified and shut down two instances of inappropriate access to limited client support data.

In February 2025, we received a tip from a trusted source regarding a video shared on a criminal forum that appeared to show access to our client support systems. We immediately launched an investigation and quickly identified the individual involved as a member of our support team. Their access was revoked immediately, a full investigation was conducted, additional security controls were put in place and a limited number of affected clients were notified.

Since then, we have been collaborating with industry partners and law enforcement to investigate and disrupt insider recruitment efforts targeting not only crypto companies, but also gaming and telecommunications organizations.

More recently, we received another tip, along with a new video showing similar activity. We quickly identified the individual involved and terminated their access. As before, we acted immediately to revoke access, conduct a full investigation, and notify the small number of affected clients.

Across both incidents, only a very small number of client accounts were potentially viewed - approximately 2,000 in total (0.02% of clients).

Shortly after access was terminated, we began receiving extortion demands. The criminals threatened to distribute materials from both the February 2025 incident and the recent incident to media outlets and on social media if we did not comply. We will not pay these criminals.

Based on intelligence gathered across both incidents, along with extensive ongoing analysis, we believe there is sufficient evidence to support the identification and arrest of those responsible.

We are actively working with federal law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions to pursue all individuals involved and bring them to justice.

Due to the ongoing investigation, we cannot share additional details at this time. However, anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact us directly.

The security of our clients is our highest priority, and we remain fully committed to combating the growing global threat of insider recruitment and constantly enhancing our security practices to combat new threats.

Note: If you are a client potentially affected by this, you've already been notified.

"During a gold rush, sell shovels." Sure.

But I don't wanna be the guy who sell shovels or pickaxes. I wanna be the guy that has the skill to convert the gold to jewelry, bullion, vault...

When the gold rush ends, your pickaxe business ends too, but mine's just beginning.

It’s 2026 and the only time you should be sleeping is after Claude says you’ve hit your limit for the day.

If it resets in 1 hour, guess how long your sleep time should be?

In mid-February, I had an idea to exploit mispricings on prediction markets.

I spent the first week seeing if there was actually something there: building the strategy, testing it on historical data, and modeling slippage, fees, and execution as realistically as I could.

Then I spent the next 2 weeks building the system, integrating with @Polymarket, paper trading the strategy, and tightening the simulator until it more closely matched live conditions.

After that, I went live.

4 weeks later, the portfolio was up 170%. The strategy improved significantly during that stretch, but the edge held, so I added more capital.

Now, 5 weeks in:
• $100,238.94 in volume
• 3,122 trades across 1,423 markets
• 83.85% win rate
• ~2% PnL on volume
• ~$700 paid in Polymarket fees
• 8.157 Sharpe

I’ll write more about the full journey later. It’s been a long one.

For now, the next upgrade is moving from taker to maker: better entries, no fees, rebates, and hopefully a much better system.

P.S. If you find the account, don’t copy trade it. This is price sensitive, and being late can get ugly fast.

Claude Code has taken Out Of Office break pre-product launch. By the time it comes back (resets) on Thursday, I would probably have launched.

Do I sack it?

I still recommend building a Python service for your system, regardless of what your backend stack is.

Two layers:

Analytical access — read, query, report on your data without touching production
Operational access — seeding, hotfixes, migrations

Separate the systems that read your data from the systems that write to it. Even at small scale, this discipline pays off.

Things like seeding staging data for the frontend team, or shipping a hotfix directly to the db, should be scripted in Python. Your ops scripts don't need to be fast. They need to be readable, repeatable, auditable, and failsafe.

That's why Python. Not Rust. Not Go.

Rust serves your traffic. Python manages your data.

Mathematics is the only domain where someone else’s solution to a generic human problem can also be your solution.

In other parts of life, you can only be inspired by their solutions and actions.

Realistically, what choices do you even have?

What avenues for growth are there for you?
Like what are people even going to do?

In a world where Humans are increasingly rendered obsolete, Humans will naturally join together.

The only way normal people will "make it" is by joining what already is the strongest community-driven financial asset.

One that is both an emerging store of value, a tokenized movement, and the most passionate community ever to emerge in the 2020s.

This will be one of the biggest phenomena in Financial History.

use Go when you want to *see* the system behave — queueing, backpressure, retry storms. goroutines make it embarrassingly easy. 500 concurrent clients in 5 lines.

use Rust when correctness is the point — implementing Raft, state machines, anything where the borrow checker is your ally not your enemy. you can't be fighting the borrow checker while trying to think about p99 latencies.

also MIT 6.824 (the best distributed systems course on the internet) is Go-based. not a coincidence.
