Ripple CTO builds custom XRPL monitoring tool
Picture, if you will, David Schwartz at his desk, Odessa outside, rain on the window-a man, a machine, and a mission. Ripple does not watch, but the great decentralizing wheel rolls forward-nobly, silently, perhaps ominously, like a lonely Dostoevsky character updating his server logs.
- Decentralizing. Schwartz, our digital Zhivago, is fashioning a tool to soothe the fevers of XRPL’s beating pulse.
The setting: New York. The hero: Schwartz. The method: tools of the trade like rrdtool and Cacti (because if you’re going to have an existential crisis, you might as well make it graphable). Could he have just used a spreadsheet? Yes. Did he? No! For fate does not accept spreadsheets-it demands custom code, late at night, and a touch of tragic grandeur. 💻
- Setup details. 9950X processor, 256 GB RAM, 10 Gbps link-enough specs to make even Tolstoy blush.
The server hums in a concrete tower, its heart syncing, its arteries pulsing with 10 Gbps of unmetered ennui. 192 connections-so specific, so hopeful, so ready to be disappointed by the coming winter of network stress. “But what if connectivity crumbles?” Schwartz whispers to his teacup. “Should we not leave a little hope unused, just in case?” 🍵
XRP hit hard as august rally stumbles
XRP, that dreamy wanderer, has stumbled on the path-$3 lost, and the ghosts of fortunes past haunting every block. In the market’s Dostoevskian tavern, the patrons weep: a 7,676% imbalance between long and short liquidations. What, after all, is risk but a game of liquidations, played in the fog? 🧮
- Massive imbalance. 7,676% gap, a number only an accountant or a poet could love.
Over $2.61 million in longs-obliterated! Shorts? A paltry $34,130. (Shorts to longs, like Raskolnikov to society: almost invisible, but always there.) XRP’s price slid 2.94% to $2.97, as if pausing on a snowy step, pondering the choices that led to this existential discount. One minute: $3.04. Next minute: $2.97. Such is the fleeting nature of crypto and human hope.
Massive SHIB outflow spike isn’t what it seems
Oh, SHIB. Mathematical acrobatics! The numbers are as staggering as Pasternak’s metaphors: on-chain data showing a +12,887% leap in whales’ outflows over 30 days. Alarm bells? Perhaps just a little dog barking at the moon. 🐕🌕
- Outflow surge. On-chain data claims it-nobody’s entirely sure who invited the mathematicians.
12,887%. A number fully detached from reality, inflated like the ego of a crypto influencer. Why? Because when you jump from 10 million SHIB to 1.3 billion, the calculator simply shrugs and pours itself a stiff drink. Not panic. Not a revolution. Just math, having an existential crisis.
- What it really means. It’s more ‘fun with fractions’ than ‘flee the burning building’-unless you’re allergic to decimals.
If you see whales running, check if they’re jogging in place for dramatic effect. More likely, they’re reorganizing, portfolio-soul-searching, chasing the next glimmer in the fog-not unlike Russian protagonists perpetually seeking meaning and warm socks.
