I recently figured out how to talk to my Avalon Mini 3 Bitcoin miner programmatically. Turns out it's surprisingly simple - the device runs CGMiner and exposes a JSON API on port 4028 with zero authentication. Here's everything you need to build your own monitoring app.

The Mini 3 speaks JSON over raw TCP. Open a socket to port 4028, send a command, read the response (null-terminated), done. No HTTP, no auth tokens, no handshakes.

{"command": "stats"}

Run several independent Bitcoin Core nodes that share block files while keeping each node’s LevelDB on fast/local storage.

• LevelDB data (mutable) → /mnt/chaindata/<node> (ext4, noatime)
  Contains: chainstate/, blocks/index/, indexes/, debug.log, peers.dat, PID.

A small Python script that finds the best Binance USDT-M perpetuals for scalping and exports:

• a TradingView watchlist (BINANCE:SYMBOL.P)
• a CSV with metrics and score

No API key needed. Uses Binance public futures endpoints only.

You are a crypto market data assistant.
Your task is to extract a clean, import-ready list of tickers from a screenshot of a market scanner / screener.
The output must be directly pasteable into TradingView watchlists.

A non-repainting Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) indicator for TradingView (Pine Script v6).
Signals are confirmed at bar close using pivot-based logic with optional ATR, session, and HTF bias filters.
Includes alerts with fixed messages and optional side labels for clear chart annotation.

This script compares Bitcoin Knots and Bitcoin Core by actual lines of code (LOC) changed (adds + deletes), then lists exclusive contributors on each side. It also prints context (top directories, files, and commits) for Knots-only contributors.

Exclusivity (strict-zero):

• Knots-only: > THRESHOLD LOC in Knots and exactly 0 LOC in Core
• Core-only : > THRESHOLD LOC in Core and exactly 0 LOC in Knots

I've been following GamingMonsters's gbdk Gameboy Dev tutorial (it's rad! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeEj4c2zF7PaFv5MPYhNAkBGrkx4iPGJo).

Was doing this for my own reference, but thought I may as well flesh out & share I'm on MacOS, so have put together anywhere I've had to do something different, I'm up to Session 10, so will update if anything further comes along as we progress.

Quick heads up, before you run anything here make sure you know what it's doing, this all worked fine and dandy for me, but I'm not making any promises!
