4/20 is a day dedicated to making memories hazy.

But support chatbots should be held to a higher standard.

Introducing Greater, an in-browser local LLM that is private by default and trained on whatever knowledge you give it. Image
I originally built this for Blockstream during the interview process. That bot is still there, but I've extended it. You can check out the demo here:

greater.pink
For the Bitcoin bot, I trained it on a variety of Blockstream's articles, the Simplicity language, and some of their other products.

I've also trained it (partially) on Bitcoin Core vs Knots. Image
The bot can answer questions in a moderate way, or take on the bias of Core or Knots. Right now, I am still extending its local Knowledge Base (KB) so it's not the best, but the structure is there.

The idea is that Bitcoin companies could contribute to the BTC KB... Image

Image
...but could also localize the bot to work with their specific points-of-view, products, etc.

I have another product called Pipes, it's very much a prototype. Pipes helps you curate one-way data feeds. So, create a Pipe for Swan Bitcoin and then Greater can ingest it.
Of course, since this is FOSS, a company could do this themselves. It is not easy work and is fairly tedious, but I've been working on optimizing it.

There are also some crazy applications, i.e. you can run OpenClaw on your desktop, Greater in-browser. $0 LLM inference.
Configuring OpenClaw would be lots more work, but I'm considering making that in the coming weeks/months. Sounds like fun!

There is currently a very lightweight OpenClaw demo that you can plug into on the site. Image
I'm still looking for a job and/or clients. Re-posts are appreciated! DMs are open if you want to join the alpha of Greater, or you can always fill out the contact form on one of my sites.

Bitcoin has no CEO, it is decentralized, customer support is non-existent, and the overwhelming message is "get some, just in case" which doesn't work for normies.

CX/support at major companies is terrible, if it even exists.

Here is how I am fixing it.

// a Cubby PoW 🧵
The Bitcoin ethos is "Verify, don't trust."

The companies building user support rely on Zendesk or have no CX infra whatsoever.

For Zendesk, we're feeding user PII to a legacy fiat meat grinder, paying for shitty AI hallucination that destroys brand trust and erodes privacy.
I started this process as part of my interview at @Blockstream. Without going into detail, I have NEVER tried harder for anything in my life. I played all my cards. Your loss, @adam3us. 🥂

As part of this process, I spotted major UX vulnerabilities: figma.com/design/MH4TTf2…Image

My talk is live and available on Rumble (link in next post).

Since shorter tweets do better in this X algo, basically I'd like to transition my business from builder mode to value-creation mode. I need either clients, partnerships, or (a lot of) customers within a month or two.
An intro to my company, its purpose, and a high-level overview of my software's capabilities is available here:

rumble.com/v71t7em-buildi…

38 minutes is a lot of time to ask of you and I don't expect a ton of folks to watch it all, so here's the tl;dr

I am an independent, solo founder building software that competes against Big Tech with technical jujitsu. I identify where Big Tech's strengths (blind spots) are and craft "sly, roundabout ways" that can turn their biggest revenue generators into their largest liabilities, quickly. I'm unable to discuss this strategy publicly at this time, but I am happy to go into more detail on a private, unrecorded call with trusted folks of integrity.

To get more concrete, I've spent the last year and a fair amount of my own cash creating an interoperative API network with artificial intelligence that is capable of creating beautiful apps and foundational changes to the way content is created, consumed, marketed, accessed, stored, and more. I've tweeted about it a lot, and the last ≈7 minutes of the video is a demo of my corporate site and Hash.pink, which is the best working example of a site that is driven by several of my proprietary AI tools as well as a showcase of my proprietary collaborative API tooling.

That being said, I don't want to paint it as anything more than an alpha release at this stage. I haven't tested security and privacy in "hardcore" mode yet, although it follows the best practices other sites/apps use. So, I wouldn't trust anything I've made with your medical history or private information just yet. I'd treat it like a younger Drive/Evernote/etc, where you store information you need to access quickly, but you trust your local storage or other options for more sensitive information.
Apart from those light technical details, I'm one of the only developers who is openly and eagerly biased toward traditional family values, forgotten folks in America, homeschoolers, anti-vaxxers, 2nd amendment enthusiasts, J6 prisoners and activists, and others who'd self-identify as MAGA, libertarian, rightwing, as a sovereign individual, or as something else on the "dissident" spectrum that causes you to mistrust the "experts" and mainstream sources.

Since I fit in with several (ok, probably all) of those groups and have faced de-banking and censorship for my political and personal beliefs, I feel the pain acutely. During COVID, the prevailing wisdom from the Left was, "Learn to code, build your own platform." I took their advice and that's what I've done and want to keep doing.

My goal isn't just to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT, I want to create genuinely useful products that are delightful to use, more performant than competitors, at a lower price whenever possible. I want to encourage the kind of dialog that Charlie Kirk died for to repair the way humans interact with each other, as opposed to the way current sources of information/media get us to fight with each other because otherwise, we'd be fighting them. Of course, they just can't have that!

I’ve been doing some pretty intensive limits testing on Grok3.

Initially, I was super impressed. For a casual user unwilling to work with it for 10-16 hours straight with normal needs, it’s a killer app.

But in terms of working memory and learning functions, it’s lacking.
I may write a detailed thread or article later describing the tests I’ve put it through. At a high level:

Grok trusts user input too much.

Grok prioritizes recent information too much, leading to rapid shifts in response styles.

Grok is too complimentary to users.
Grok is unable to admit faults, biases, or shortcomings prior to performing work, only if a user points out inconsistencies in its reasoning.

Grok is terminally predisposed toward confirmation bias in longer chats.

Grok is too verbose.

Grok is great for short asks!

The market is trash, largely because of uncertainty regarding tariffs from the US and global trade conditions.

But what if I told you there's a political reason to be cautiously bullish, even in the short-term?

traditional 🧵
"Do or do not, there is no try."

Trump has modified tariffs & extended dates for Canada/Mexico tariffs twice. The active date is April 2.

Markets hate uncertainty and usually discount prices based on valuing the uncertainty as risk.

Tariff/no-tariff = ok. Uncertainty = bad.
In order to smoke our hopium, we need to consider political funding cycles. We'll reverse engineer:

Summer 2026: candidates endorsed
Spring 2026: debates, campaigning
Q4 2025: fundraising, stumping
Q2-Q3 2025: fundraising, kissing babies

The funding cycle is just beginning.

I'm taking a break from the incessant packing, re-packing, paranoia, etc as we prepare for our move to El Salvador. This means y'all get a thread.

TITLE:
Why single male Bitcoiners should try to meet a Russian "mail order bride" in 2024, and why they should marry her in 2025.
Yes, frequent readers, I am not only moving internationally I'm also moving my Russian "mail order bride" fiancee with me and planning a wedding.

So, why Russian?

Do you admire femininity, beauty, intelligence, worth ethic, traditional family values?

.theculturetrip.com/europe/russia/…
Speaking from personal experience, I've found Russians in particular to be extremely compatible with your average conservative guy from the USA. I'm sure there are exceptions, but they have the values most women aged 20-40 don't in the West. Online dating is also WAY WAY better.

I’ll come out as one cautious but largely supportive of this take. I’m writing this from my individual point of view, not a custodian point of view. 🧵
If you haven’t been outside the US or EU to a developing country, or if you have but stayed in a nice part of a big city or a hotel/resort, you may want to listen before you speak. To help, imagine this:
You live along route CA-2 in El Salvador in a rusted, corrugated aluminum shack that’s 250sf and has a rope for a door. You earn $30 a day, on a good day, and share your home with your parents, spouse, and 3 children. Your entire life revolves around cash.
