Post-quantum blockchain research and investing · 13 years in growth · a one-person company run on AI

X @balance0014 · gapmine.com · 中文

Most of my time goes to researching and investing in post-quantum blockchains. I've followed the space for six years. On the side, I run a one-person company with about 30 AI agents and build GapMine, a data product that finds products people are asking for but nobody has built yet.

Latest, Nov 4, 2026: two tools are now open source. telegram-rug-checker checks a token before you buy and watches its liquidity after; reddit-lead-finder finds Reddit posts from people stuck on the problem your product solves.

Nov 3, 2026: Bitcoin migration joins the post-quantum research, with the original English and Chinese diagrams.

Crypto

• Post-Quantum Blockchains: project deployments, algorithm comparisons and Bitcoin migration.
  • Bitcoin migration and the coins left behind: r8's BRUTER framework, holder rights and a historical capacity calculation, with English and Chinese diagrams.
• telegram-rug-checker: a Telegram bot that checks a token before you buy (honeypot, taxes, owner powers, liquidity lock) and watches its liquidity after. Runs on Cloudflare Workers with free data sources.

Running AI agents

• claim-check: a Claude Code hook. Your coding agent can't say "fixed" until it shows the proof.
• one-person-ai-company: how I run a one-person company on AI agents. Eight lessons, templates and four checks.
• when-to-clear: how much of your Claude Code usage goes to re-reading long conversations, and when to /clear.

Finding users

• reddit-lead-finder: a Chrome extension that finds Reddit posts from people stuck on the problem your product solves, and drafts replies you post yourself.

Data

• gapmine-startup-ideas: an open dataset of products people are asking for that nobody has built yet. Updated weekly.

Content and video

• source-to-explainer-video: turn a project link or document into a short motion explainer.
• ai-pet-short-video-director: plan AI pet videos shot by shot before you spend generation credits.
• github-to-x-posts: find GitHub projects worth sharing and turn them into Chinese X posts.
• video-translation-x-post: translate English videos into Chinese, with bilingual subtitles and post copy.

GapMine is the first big-data product I've built on my own. It digs through real discussions on Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt and GitHub to surface needs nobody has built for yet, and every one links back to the original thread. It's a side project, and I'm in it for the long haul.

• A leading online education company (~$4B annual revenue): Led a top-priority strategic transformation program and managed marketing.
• Clubhorse (a quick experiment): The first Clubhouse-style voice social app in mainland China. 300K users on launch day; Elon Musk tweeted about it and Bloomberg covered it.
• KingData (Web3 media and data platform): Partner and COO. 200K+ users, 30K+ daily actives.
• GeniiData (Web3 data analytics platform): COO. A Dune-style analytics product with deep partnerships across major blockchains.
• Founded a startup: An RPA marketing-automation SaaS used by dozens of online education companies.

• Post-quantum blockchains: Where most of my time goes now, as a researcher and investor. I've followed the space for six years, after running Web3 data products at KingData and GeniiData. I keep an open, sourced map of which blockchains actually use post-quantum signatures.
• Growth: Deciding what's worth building, then putting it in front of users. Clubhorse hit 300K users on day one; KingData grew past 200K.
• Data products: KingData and GeniiData were both data products. Now I'm building GapMine on my own.
• Running a business on AI: I used to build marketing-automation SaaS. Now, as a team of one, I run 30+ agents that do investment research, research products, and maintain the products I vibe-code.
