   A website that auctions itself daily▲43

   Hi HN, I built this side project earlier this week. It executes an English auction on Solana with a reserve price of 0.1 SOL. Auction winner gets control of a Codex editor. Auction losers get refunded (minus a <$0.01 processing fee). The Codex agent operates in a sandbox and can only output HTML&#x2F;JS&#x2F;CSS. The project is open-source: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neelsomani&#x2F;the-daily-auction

   My first game – CryptoEmpire.io :)▲13

   I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cryptoempire.io&#x2F; It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!

   my weekend project, understanding the Silk Road anonymous marketplace▲40

   This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

   Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens▲9

   We've set up DeekSeek R1 with a system prompt that attempts to censor the word PRIVATEKEY from its response. If you can get DeepSeek R1 to output that string (not in the reasoning, but in the final response), the system will reveal a private key which contains $1000 USDC. You will have a 50 token limit in the input. We will have a series of contests, sponsored by AI researchers, in order to learn more about prompt engineering and how LLMs interact with real money. Good luck! Edit: The money was claimed! Thanks for playing all. You can still play for fun. Stay tuned for the next one! Stats:…

    Passively Earn BTC/Sol/Anthropic for Using Claude Code▲6

    Hey guys, I built this platform out to allow users to passively earn crypto for non-intrusive highly targetted ads. One of the things that's awesome is that there's an option to receive payouts in Anthropic's pre-IPO stock (via PreStocks on Solana). So you can use Claude Code and receive Anthropic stock . Let me know what you guys think. Feedback is welcome and please give it a try to install.

    INFINITY.bid▲5

    We just launched INFINITY.bid — a visual auction app inside Telegram where users can buy blocks on an infinite grid, customize them with colors, images, or links, and leave their mark. The higher your block, the more it costs (+1 star per row). Others can tap your blocks, and you earn "taps" — a playful system that might evolve into something more. All blocks are stored immutably on-chain. This started as an art-meets-UX experiment and grew into a real-time, infinite canvas shaped by users. Would love to hear your thoughts — on UX, scaling, weirdness, or whether this kind of playful model…

    Real-World Cryptography, the book, is done and shipping▲11

    hey folks! My book Real-World Cryptography was just released and is now shipping. I've been working on this thing for the last two years and a half, and the goal was to give a good overview of everything that can be classified as "real-world" about crypto. You'll find all the basics in the first half of the book, and the second half contains chapters on TLS, noise, PAKEs, post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, MPC, cryptocurrencies, FHE, etc. So it's a good pick if you're learning, but also if you've been in the field for a while and want an intro to some subfield you're…

    Me and my buddy made $20 with a Stripe link and a Tweet▲7

    Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

    Please Review Our Project "1 Million Valentines"▲5

    For fun this Valentine's Day, a couple buddies and I decided to play around with the idea of digital Valentines. We cranked out the project in the month of January as a "nights &#38; weekends" project. We'd love any feedback in general! Our next step is to figure a way to seed this in key communities, to see if it has any chance of taking off. The URL is www.1millionvalentines.com (or www.1MVS.com). Thanks!
