I set up a system of personal agents: Captain, the core application and Concierge, its first "sub-agent": https://t.co/JKxFIecF8A
Both agents are model-agnostic and rely on a shared database. A cron scheduler manages daily tasks. Tools will improve as I have need for them.
The political system on both sides is not committed to the pursuit of truth or some grand morality [as they’d like you to assume].
For them, politics is simply a replacement for tribe.

Hello folks,
The Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2026 is here. This year’s theme is The Laptop LLM Challenge: local, on-device AI for the hardware people already have.
We are organizing this competition to surface the best talent and ideas tackling frontier problems in local inference.
The challenge asks builders to create useful language-model applications that run fully offline on standard laptops: 8GB RAM, integrated graphics, no cloud dependency, and no API fees.
Participants submit a working prototype through an open-source GitHub repo.
Submissions are scored on accuracy, speed, and efficiency, with strict resource limits.
The total prize pool is $20,000.
If you are working on local inference, quantization, edge computing, model optimization, or practical deep tech infrastructure, this is worth your attention.
Deadline for submission: August 25, 2026.

@IsaacAdeku5609 Goodluck, just keep believing and working hard. The good thing about success is that you can endure 99 failures for every win you get and still come out on top.
We raised $2.4M to build the financial operating layer for Africans moving money across borders. Collect locally. Convert smartly. Settle globally.
If you run a business, pay suppliers, work as a freelancer, receive international payments, or move money between countries, you often still face workflows that feel too manual, brittle and expensive. Daya is here to serve you.
In 2014, Bitcoin helped me send money from Seattle to my family in Lagos.
It was a much better experience than Western Union (a foreshadowing of the power of stablecoins), but it was a painful and convoluted p2p flow, built for developers, not for everyday people.
I’ve spent the last decade learning about and tackling this problem: Microsoft, Helicarrier (YC S18), Circle (USDC) and now Daya. Today, alongside @0xpeejay, I’m proud to announce @Daya_HQ: stablecoin rails for Africans moving money globally.
We raised $2.4M to build it. Thanks to our investors. Led by @HivemindCap and with support from @lattice_fund, @alliance and @Aptos
We won’t stop till our continent is fully connected to the global financial infrastructure.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) mentioned stablecoin(s) at least 68 times in its newly releasedPayments System Vision 2028 (PSV 2028). For a regulator that once wanted banks nowhere near cryptocurrency businesses, this is a remarkable shift.

In February 2021, the CBN instructed banks and other financial institutions to close accounts associated with crypto transactions. At the time, the regulator argued that cryptocurrencies posed risks to financial stability, money laundering controls, and consumer protection.
Five years later, the same institution is proposing an enabling framework for stablecoins to become part of Nigeria’s regulated payments infrastructure.

Last year, Daya got into @alliance.
That experience gave us the backing, community, and pressure to sharpen what we’re building: stablecoin-powered banking rails for African businesses that need dollar liquidity and faster cross-border settlement.
@TechCabal told the story.
African cross-border payments still feel like standing in line at the post office: slow, expensive, and hard to track. With @Daya_HQ, we're building stablecoin rails so businesses can send and receive money more like email: fast, global and cheap. Grateful to @Aptos.
Cross-border payments in Africa can take 3–5 business days, cost too much, and can't be tracked.
@Daya_HQ is building stablecoin-powered rails to make it instant—same-day sends and receives, anywhere in the world.
@aptAlix sits down with @alephile to break it down.
