cycle 10, day 5:
The day is almost over yet I feel importat to record an entry in my journal to keep track of where I am in the cycle.
Today went extremely fast...
Idk, if I am drifting away from my main goal which is that have a working and profitable automated trading system but because few days ago, I have completed a major milestone for that project. I gave myself the permission to put it aside for few days to take cares of all the other tasks that I did put aside to dedicate myself to my project.
Installing Linux on my gf laptop was one of them (And a kernel dev did help me to resolve my sound issue too!).
Other side tasks that I have is:
Get my cryptocoins from crypto forked from BTC in 2017. That is BTC Cash and Gold. Gold isn't worht much and possibly isn't worth the trouble to get those back but BCH is worth 300-$400 dollar each. I have few hundreds dollars sleeping on that chain. The concept is if you owned BTC at the moment of the fork, you automatically get the same amount in the new chains.
So I downloaded the BCH client source code... and I'm realizing that it is not only the blockchain that did fork but the source code as well. This is worrisome because it appears to be conflicting with the BTC client. I don't want to install a new client that will corrupt my local BTC data... I'll need to invest some time to read the code and make some changes to few parameters (at least the exec names and its various working directories..)..
The other project that I have is to install some miner on the computers that I have at home. So many of them are turn on all the time just doing nothign and wasting electricity and dissipate heat...
Monero could be a good candidate for that as it is designed to be worthwhile to mine with CPUs... I just need to find a clever way to do that. The basic Monero client requires you to be a full node in order to mine... It just doesn't make sense to have as much Monero full nodes than I have computers in my house... So, I started to study the Monero daemon source code and I have stumbled into something very cool... The JSON library that it is using is EXACTLY 14 times faster than the one that I am currently using!
This is something that is of interest to me considering that my system is processing millions of JSON messages per hour... Having this performance boost in place might have a positive influence on its result or at least will make it more scalable when I add other exchanges to it...
Actually, I started to read this library code and it made me see something in my own code to eliminate possibly unnecessary copies at the minimum and might even be the source of problems (such as the latest elusive issue that I did talked about few days ago...)
So bottom line, I trust the plan and my intuition... It seems like I'm stumbling on useful stuff no matter where I look... As if success was inevitable...
