Products that do what I built a Bitcoin DCA bot – here's why does
I started DCA’ing into BTC many years ago. I kept missing buys, buying emotionally into pumps, and forgetting during chop. So I wrote a simple script that hit an exchange API once a day with a fixed amount. Friends asked to use it, so I generalized it and added a DB to manage multiple users. Why I didn’t use existing tools: Most options I tried were either locked to one exchange or did fixed-amount DCA with naive execution. I wanted multi-exchange support and a way to scale buys during dips and preserve capital during rips. I also kept running into inconsistent API rate limits and…

Hello HN. I built my own automated Bitcoin trading bot and noticed that many others want to do the same thing, but lack the coding skills required for the harder stuff, like order execution and backtesting. I like the idea of making automated trading more accessible to existing day traders as well as newcomers. Hopefully this will also inspire some people to learn to code. We’re currently in private beta, but please check out the site below. Feedback is more than welcome. http://tradewave.net

Hey everyone! I'm Rob and I want to share what I've built - a solid ledger behind simple API: https://decimals.app The ledger is a key piece of any financial system and is easy to get the design wrong, resulting in troubles for making sure money movements are adding up. I took a lot of inspiration from good designs from Square, Uber, and others for the scalability and security aspects. And on the usability side, I applied many concepts from the Ledger CLI, making it very easy to use. I'm really happy I get to show this to you all, thank you for reading about it! Please let me know…

Hey everyone! We're the folks from Codelitt Incubator. We pay several of our employees either entirely or partially in BTC. This is a huge pain every month when we run payroll. Normally it consists of a wire to Bitstamp (which includes a steep fee), buying the BTC on Bitstamp, sending to our company wallet, collecting receiving addresses, and then paying our employees. Because of this we're building a dead simple BTC Payroll. Our main goal is to make it easy for you to request that your employer pays you in BTC (partially or completely). We don't hold any money nor Bitcoins. It all happens…

A friend(@wolever) and I spent the weekend hacking up a small web app which makes it easy for you to sell digital goods for Bitcoins. Once a customer has clicked the “buy” button, we take care of giving them a unique address, monitoring that address for transactions, then securely notifying your website once a minimum number of confirmations have been received. Oh, ya, and then we send you the Bitcoins :) The website is here: BitWillet: http://www.bitwillet.com and there is a demo on the front page. (full disclosure: BitWillet uses the Willet, http://dev.getwillet.com, platform, of which I…

Hi HN! For the last few weeks I've been building an algotrading bot based on the Supertrend indicator. It's a trend-following bot that uses the Supertrend lines as support/resistances to enter long/short trades and it's currently running in simulated mode (not real money) on all Binance futures pairs. I've written a somewhat detailed write-up about the strategy here: https://ailef.tech/2021/05/20/im-building-a-cryptocurrency-trading-bot-that-you-can-follow-live-on-telegram/ The cool thing about the bot is that he reports everything on his Telegram…

DCA is a popular strategy that consists in saving/investing the same dollar amount (let's say $250 every month) in an asset. Here's a simple, easy to use, and verifiable (code is open source) calculator so that you can brag with your friends how your portfolio outperforms bitcoin (yes, I also wished I bought NVIDIA...)

Hey HN, I just released Tradofire, a crypto trading app I built using a lot of cursor chatgpt and claude for over a year. The main idea of the app is very simple - to swipe on pre-prepared trading setups (like tinder) and if you right swipe it opens a position. The execution of this simple idea was much more complex and tbh I could not have done it without AI. Here's a quick rundown of the main features: Swipe-to-Trade UI: Quickly initiate long or short positions with intuitive swipe gestures. Real-Time Trade Signals: Get curated crypto signals from the market delivered proactively, helping…

Hi there HN, just wanted to share a little project I've been working on for some time: a coinmarketcap.com Python (API) wrapper. As coinmarketcap does not provide any API endpoints, the code is pretty dirty and should be considered as a scraper more than a real API wrapper. Example usage: >>> import coinmarketcap >>> coinmarketcap.market_cap('bitcoin') $ 7,644,402,276 Everything is well documented in the README but if you have questions, don't ask. Hope you enjoy it, issues and PR on Github are more than welcome. (https://github.com/c0ding/coinmarketcap-api)

http://playbitpoker.com Hey, this is my first startup project and I'm pretty excited. I've got to the point where I feel I've got something solid, and I don't know what to do next. I haven't had masses of people using it and testing it with the test-network bitcoins. I have tested it a fair bit with friends and it seems there's no major problems. What should I do? Is this a minimum viable product? Should I try and promote it while it's still in testing, or should I switch over to using real bitcoins before doing that? I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have. P.S. I had…

Bonjour HN! I lead the product efforts at DSLA Protocol, a peer-to-peer third-party risk management infrastructure for developers and their communities. tl;dr I wanted to share news about our ongoing hackathon and ways to get started! DSLA Protocol lets anyone manufacture and package their own insurance, or add insurance to any existing product and service offerings. Within hours. Like a factory, but for customer protection and service differentiation. We designed DSLA Protocol as a decentralised alternative to service-level agreements (SLA). Instead of using offline legal documents with a…

Hello Hacker News! I'm working on my first startup VKatke. It's a platform where everyone can create an anonymous e-shop in Telegram instantly without credit card or bank account. It's currently in beta and works only with Testnet Bitcoin. Registration takes 2 minutes and it's ready to sell items and manage your shop with Google Spreadsheet. Also you can create an Bitcoin exchange bot. Just regitster, set desirable commission fee (fixed and/or percent), make Bitcoin deposit and start selling for profit. Your exchange can work as an independent exchange or may be coupled with e-commerce…

Hi, I'm Robert Karl, a software engineer, cryptocurrency trader, and creator of CBR ( https://CostBasis.Report/ ). I wanted to report gains from trading to tax authorities, but found existing crypto-tax solutions were not great. There are some very fully featured tax solutions out there. I believe there is even a YC company that can solve this problem. However, I found that for my use case, which includes less than 100 trades, the existing sites would charge me between $150 and $800 for a handful of PDFs. I wasn't sure that made sense given the server-side costs to generate…

hey hey! I'm the co-founder of squads -- a product that makes it easy to see what your friends and top investors are doing in web3. This product was developed out my own frustration trying to get more involved in web3. One of the greatest challenges in the crypto space is figuring out where to start. For some of us, we're lucky to have a friend who can serve as a guide, and we wanted to build a product that would make introducing your friends to crypto a more inviting experience. There is so much alpha and information living on Twitter + Discord, but the problem is finding the signal from…
