Insignificant Developer

Been working on a side project, will go live soon... maybe... it's a side project 😑 The goal here is to build affordable crypto payment infrastructure that doesn't bankrupt small devs. The Problem: I needed to accept crypto payments in two of my apps. Simple use case - user pays, I get notified, I credit their account. I Checked out providers that offered similar services and the pricing was INSANE. We're talking $200-2000/month for basic payment monitoring. For a side project making maybe $400/month? Nahh. So I built my own (Internal / Personal Tool). Here's how it works: 1. Generate Your Master Wallet (Somewhat Easy to do 😏): It starts by generating a 24-word seed phrase (standard BIP-39). This is YOUR wallet - fully non-custodial. You encrypt it with a password. That password becomes your master key. Lose it? I can't help you. Nobody can. That's the point. 2. Derive Addresses On Demand (Read a lot of documentations for this 🤓): Here's where it gets cool. Using HD wallet derivation, every time you need a new payment address (new user signs up, new invoice, whatever), you make an API call with your master key. The system derives a new child wallet from your master seed using an incremental derivation index. Each user gets their own unique address, all traceable back to your master wallet. No need to manually generate wallets. No need to store private keys in your database. Just derivation indices. 3. Monitor Everything With Bloom Filters (This was harddd, especially the error handling and retry logic😭): All your derived addresses get added to a bloom filter(Discovered my DSA was lacking when i did this lol). The system polls the blockchain (currently supporting ERC-20, BSC, and TRC-20 chains) and watches for incoming transactions (Those are the chains i could figure out easily 🥲, would add more if there is demand). 4. Get Webhook Notifications (Medium difficulty, there is always a first 👀) The moment any of your monitored addresses receives a transaction, a webhook fires to your specified URL. You get the transaction details, confirm the payment, credit the user. Done. My entire setup runs on: •Infura key: $50/month (x2 for BSC and ERC chains) •TronGrid API: Free for 100k requests/month •VPS: $150/year Total: Around $1350/year for infrastructure that handles payment monitoring across multiple chains. Compare that to $2,400-24,000/year for traditional crypto payment APIs. Security Model: The master key is never stored on the server. Every action that touches the HD wallet requires: •Authentication (your app's API key) •Bearer token •The master key passed in the request If you lose the master key, even my service can't recover it. That's a feature, not a bug. Why This Exists: I built this because I was tired of choosing between: 1Expensive third-party services that eat into margins 2Rolling my own blockchain monitoring (which is tedious) 3Custodial solutions where some company holds my users' funds This is the middle path: non-custodial, affordable, developer-friendly. Current Status: Running it in production on two of my apps. Works reliably. Handles everything I need. Now I'm thinking... maybe other devs have the same problem? Considering making it public - either as open source (self-hostable) or a cheap SaaS ($20-50/month range), or both. Would you use something like this? Specifically interested in hearing from: •Devs building crypto-enabled apps on a budget •Teams that need payment rails but can't justify enterprise pricing •Anyone who's felt the pain of existing crypto infrastructure costs Drop a comment or DM if this resonates. What monthly price would make this a no-brainer vs building it yourself? Trying to figure out if this is just my niche problem or something more people need. Yes, I know services like this exist. But when the "budget" option costs $500/month and you're a solo dev or small team... that's not really a budget option, is it? (Plus you get to build something really cool)

🚨 Governments pay millions for this. Someone just open sourced it for free. It's called Crucix. It watches the entire world. And texts you when something changes. It pulls from 26 live data sources every 15 minutes and renders everything on a single Jarvis-style dashboard. Here's what it watches: → Satellite fire detection (NASA) → Live flight tracking → Radiation monitoring → Conflict zone events → Economic indicators from the Fed → Live market prices, crypto, oil, and commodities → Sanctions lists → Social sentiment from 17 Telegram intelligence channels → Maritime vessel tracking → News from GDELT and RSS feeds Here's what makes this one different: It's two-way. It pushes alerts to your Telegram and Discord. You text it back. Type /brief from your phone and get a full intelligence summary. Type /sweep to force a new scan. It responds like an assistant. It even generates trade ideas based on cross-domain signals. No cloud. No subscription. No telemetry. Runs on your machine. node server.mjs That's it. Your own intelligence terminal. This is the kind of setup that costs six figures behind closed doors. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

Delete this tweet and post it back when you guys can multitask abeg 😂😂

Nigerian uni is giving us C programming in 2026. Not React. Not cloud. Not even basic web dev. C for that matter omoo who are we building for 😭

Samsung fanboys are the most annoying people to argue with. Lol.

Some clients sha 🤧$5 Is it for eba or gaari?😂

Vite just announced the Laravel/Rails for JavaScript DB, auth, KV, queues, storage, ai ++ React/Vue/Svelte/Solid and Integrates with existing metaframeworks as it's just a Vite plugin The more interesting part is they are launching their own framework with it which feels a lot like tanstack start. Has routing/loaders/actions/islands/ISR and is inspired by Inertia.js By default it's tightly bound to Cloudflare workers — which is where all the bindings come from — and will include deploying without a cloudflare account Uses better auth and drizzle under the hood
