Hey fellow Solana traders! I've been testing out both Trojan and BONKbot for a while now, and I thought I'd share my thoughts on these two popular trading bots. Here's a breakdown of how they compare: Volume and User Base: Trojan: $1.90B lifetime volume, 145,026 users BONKbot: Over $5B lifetime volume, 315,623 users Trojan is newer but gaining traction fast, while BONKbot has a larger established user base. Features: Both offer automated trading, MEV protection, and Telegram integration. Trojan has some unique features like copy trading and access to new token launches via Pump.fun integration. BONKbot offers auto-buy and a token buy-and-burn feature. Speed and Execution: Mixed opinions here. Some users say Trojan is faster, others claim BONKbot has the edge. Both seem to handle high volumes well. User Interface: Both are praised for ease of use. BONKbot might have a slight edge in simplicity, while Trojan offers more advanced features for experienced traders. Fees: Trojan: 1% fee (0.9% with referral) BONKbot: Flat 1% fee Security: Both use encryption and don't access private keys. Trojan offers customizable MEV protection settings. Limitations: Trojan: Some users want more customization options BONKbot: Limited token support, no external wallet importing Community Feedback: Trojan: Praised for responsive support and advanced features BONKbot: Mixed reviews, with some concerns about limited functionality compared to competitors Personal Opinion: If you're new to trading bots or want simplicity, BONKbot might be the way to go. For more advanced features and potentially faster execution, Trojan could be the better choice. Ultimately, it depends on your trading style and needs. What's your experience with these bots? Which one do you prefer and why?

With Solana tokens blowing up, thought I'd do a quick guide to get started. Here's a guide on how to buy on the Solana network: 1. Get some SOL: You'll need SOL tokens for transactions on the network. Buy on a centralized exchange: Platforms like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken allow you to purchase SOL directly. 2. Set up a Solana wallet: The most popular option is Phantom wallet. Download it as a browser extension or mobile app and create a new wallet. 3. Transfer to your wallet: If you bought SOL on an exchange, withdraw it to your Phantom wallet address. 4. Connect to a Solana DEX: Popular options include: - Jupiter (jup.ag): This is currently the top Solana DEX aggregator[3]. - Raydium: Another well-known Solana DEX[3]. 5. Start trading: Once connected, you can swap SOL for other Solana-based tokens or vice versa. Tips: - Always double-check addresses when sending crypto. - Start with small amounts to test the process. - Be aware of gas fees, though they're very low on Solana (around $0.0002 per transaction)[1]. - For beginners, it might be easier to start with centralized exchanges before moving to DeFi options[4]. Remember to do your own research and be cautious of scams. Never share your wallet's seed phrase with anyone.

I'm looking to offload a side project I don’t have time for anymore. I have a laser engraving Facebook group with 41.6k members and an email list of 550. The group's focus is Lightburn (the top laser software) and AI, and members are looking to level up their skills. I’ll also throw in the domain lasersnacks.com—the plan was to turn it into a fun, bite-sized newsletter for laser engravers. There are a bunch of ways to make money with this: - Affiliate partnerships with Lightburn courses, Etsy-related courses, tools, materials, and laser printers ($$$). - Collaborations with YouTubers in the niche. - Sponsored content or ads in the newsletter. - Paid group or subscription model for advanced tutorials. - Plus, AI photo generation/enhancement is really starting to take off in this space too. The FB group is feeding the email list through the group questionnaire, so it’s got a nice foundation to build on.

When cleaning up your Google Drive or going through old folders on your hard drive, you might stumble upon a “Digital treasure” just waiting to be recycled. Recently, I found an Excel file with 1 million FB groups that we created with friends during a weekend hackathon thanks to a tool called Gripper. Gripper no longer exists, but the list of groups with links and member counts stayed with me. I now plan to use it as a reward in my paid program Acquire4exit. It could be an updated list for sale, a reward for reaching a certain level, or a bonus for an annual membership. So, go through your Google Drives and old folders - you might discover something valuable that you can repurpose as a reward for your community or for sale!
