Helpful comment, but it's also mildly amusing you picked one of the few agricultural underlyings you can't trade futures on (Onion Futures Act). Not sure if that was intentional or…

Really appreciate the "How it works" section in the README. In general I think it's great when projects give a high-level overview of the architecture and techniques involved, it p…

I'm a CS student as well, curious what course taught you about ECC? Would be interested in such a course as well, the only course I can imagine teaching this is an information theo…
