#192Combination Machine Learning, NLP, Neural Networks, stock analyzer. Does automated day trading. Not HFT style stuff. More what a bank pays an analyst to do, type of trading, but smaller scale since it's only my personal funds.
How much profit does this generate, if I may ask? And how much do you have invested as capital for it to trade on?

Can you elaborate? Any resources on getting started with this kind of thing?

#194Earlier quoted context omitted.
is most of the income from the nfsw section?
Actually, the NSFW section is only 0.65% of the site traffic. I think the most income comes from some casinos or this type of ads.
What do you mean income from some casinos? Are casinos downloading videos, or what does that traffic source look like?

#195I'm making about $500/month (was $800/month when bitcoin price was better) by code reviewing altcoins for exploits, undisclosed premines, and other scams that can hide in code. I have an arrangement with an exchange for a monthly fee, and sometimes am paid by others as well. I've successfully stopped 1 full blown exploit (admanteumcoin) where there was code that allowed a block to mine any amount of coins desired, (a…
Do you do code reviews outside of altcoins? After reading your page I immediately wondered if you're a freelance code reviewer & what languages you specialize in. If so, you should add more details about that in a Services / Work section of your site, and link to those details at the end of your blog posts about code reviews. Kudos on your About page too, instantly builds connection through good taste in music & drin…
I've never really considered it. Reviewing altcoins is easy because all you do is figure out a known-safe coin it's forked from (since everything eventually boils down to bitcoin) and check the differences.
I really don't pay enough attention to my blog these days, but glad you like it :)

#196I created a website for folks learning English as a foreign language: http://www.phrasemix.com
I've been running it for the last 5 years. The first 2 years, it was just a blog that I maintained for free. 3 years ago, I started selling access to audio recordings of the lessons as a subscription.
The site generates about $2K per month off of around 300K monthly visitors. It continues to grow but very slowly.

This is really interesting, I would love to hear more about how you are going about doing this.

#198I started thumbnailing porn torrents at http://www.magnetpeep.com , then the Pirate Bay went down (who I used to index the torrents). I need to get back on that project.
That's an interesting technical challenge, at least to me. Could you talk a bit about it?
edit: Could you also talk about SEO and how you market your site?

#199I wrote a GPL licensed layout manager ( https://golden-layout.com/ ) that also comes with commercial licenses. It's been out for three months now and seems to appeal to financial institutions. Revenue is ok, especially since most sales are the more expensive (399 GBP) multi domain license, but a lot of the bigger customers don't want to just purchase it through the website, but rather enter into a more bespoke contra…
That looks pretty cool actually. Is it really just a side project though? Could you provide us with some numbers?
cheers, it's a side project, but I'm also going to try my luck at starting a start-up this year and this is one of the components it needs - so its killing two birds with one stone. Revenue was between 1600 and 1000 GBP a month so far - although after just two and a half months this isn't exactly a representative sample.

#200I sell drugs. It's a lot harder than you might think. My clients give pretty reliable recurring revenue, so much so that it's gone from a side project to a full time gig for me.

Sounds like those spam emails for Viagra
