I accept.
You might know me for the following contributions:
- Bug Reports: Numerai has incredible strengths, but quality assurance isn’t one of them. That is why they rely on the community to help identify bugs. To be frank, I don’t know anyone who has reported more mid-to-high severity issues than I have - ranging from 40% overnight drawdowns and missed payouts to Sybil attack vectors and, most recently, a security vulnerability related to address poisoning in the Numerai wallet (reported in private, now fixed). If you enjoy not losing money on technicalities, you’re welcome.
- Radically Transparent Opinions: I’m your personal mix of Mark Baum and Michael Burry from The Big Short, multiplied by two. I don’t shy away from asking the uncomfortable questions that make the project better for everyone, even when the team doesn’t have the answers yet. I also contribute my experience and opinions wherever I can provide the most value to the community.
- The YAND Dashboard: Whether you vote for me or not, I will continue to improve YAND - my gift to the community, the apples-to-apples comparison dashboard for Numerai users and models. If elected, I will look into migrating it from free hosting (potentially under the Numerbay umbrella) to address performance issues due to free-tier server limitations.
