It's 6am and the birds are singing... gentle crypto chatter.


Base and Farcaster

13 Feb 2026 2 minute read 3 comments ohdearcrypto

I have been meaning to write on Publish0x about Base for a while. I'm surprised it doesn't get more attention here. What is it? Put simply, Base is a crypto trading application while Farcaster is a crypto-native social media forum. It's hard to accur...

My Weekend of (sort of) Vibe Coding

8 Feb 2026 4 minute read 1 comment ohdearcrypto

So.. what has this to do with crypto? Well, I've come from the Base app where there's a lot of talk about AI agents. AI has the most promising coins or tokens on that app and network at the moment. That's the short version. My longer version, which m...

The Lobster Pot: A guide to the recent AI agents ecosystem

5 Feb 2026 1 minute read 0 comments ohdearcrypto

This was going to be a quick post on Base/Farcaster but it quickly got out of hand. On Publish0x it is more likely to get circulated among a public audience! A quick round-up of recent developments in the AI agents/bots ecosystem (mostly Open Source...

Watching the Atomic Hub Go Round

It's time I wrote something... a cup of coffee then... I've been a bit obsessed with Atomic Hub for quite a while. It is a marketplace for collecting and trading NFTs. It is smooth and functions really nicely. The underlying token is WAXP and it run...

Capcut, Audius and just the general cr*pness of the internet

12 Dec 2025 4 minute read 2 comments ohdearcrypto

I've had a busy week on the internet. And late on today was pretty cool. I recorded a video of my music-making. Capcut enraged me so much that I then recorded a very angry song. Uploaded that to Audius. And now, back on Publish0x, I'm writing about t...

Exciting Read Discovered On Internet

I wrote this in the earlyish hours of Saturday morning before a sleep. And now, some twenty-plus hours later, I'm publishing it... It's been a long day. Last night I worked on my seminal essay for the great crypto exchange writing contest of 2023. Wh...

The Long Road Back To Music

1 Apr 2023 1 minute read 3 comments ohdearcrypto

It shouldn't be that long a road really. Its only been a few weeks. When I say it's what I should be doing it's only really me saying that. It's not an official position. I'm not working for an orchestra or royal court. I'm in a couple of 'bands' and...

Bitcoin Miner

30 Mar 2023 3 minute read 0 comments ohdearcrypto

I feel a bit bad about it but during this phase of my life, with a few things going on, I just want to take it easy with my computing time and play Bitcoin Miner. It feels a bit Pavlovian, a dumb search for satoshis. As Mike Skinner of The Streets on...

Following on from my struggles with a Chromebook yesterday, today (daytime actually!) I got a bit more real and took lots of pictures and inventoried stuff, effectively readying a bulk collection for an eBay listing to come. I am hoping to move out a...
