The average quality of documentation available for most tech is abysmal. It's often incomplete, poorly-organised (which is to say that it's organised in ways that don't correspond to how it's likely to be used), leaves out vital information or is just plain unreadable. Even much of the documentation that makes sense in hindsight is often more or less incomprehensible in foresight until you see an example, and step-by-step examples are often absent from the official docs.

I’ve been a hodler for about ten years. My main assets are about 68% BTC 14% XMR AND 9% ETH. The remaining 9ish% are SOL, BNB, and ZEC. I was thinking about just converting the BNB and ZEC into SOL ( the staking is a nice bonus) or just converting all three into XMR. I don’t mess around with trading and trying to edge out the market. I’ve truly just been a set it and forget “investor”. How responsible or how ignorant is my thinking on the situation? submitted by /u/sugatastic [link] [Kommentare]

I wanted to share my experience with AscendEX and see whether anyone else has gone through something similar recently. I’ve used AscendEX on and off for years and never had a serious issue before. However, my latest withdrawal has now been stuck for more than a week in “Initiating” status. The most concerning part is that there is still no TXID at all. The withdrawal never appears to have reached the blockchain. The funds were removed from my available balance and are effectively locked, but there is no transaction hash, no rejection notice, and no explanation. I contacted support through every available channel - Support ticket system, email and telegram At first I received generic responses telling me to wait. After asking for actual information about the cause of the delay, things became even more concerning. When I publicly asked about my case in the AscendEX Telegram group, my message was removed and I was banned from the group shortly afterward. Since then, the Telegram admins who were previously responding have stopped replying entirely. My support ticket remains unresolved, and emails either receive no response or no meaningful information. Nobody has been able to explain: Why the withdrawal is stuck Why no TXID exists Whether there is a wallet issue Whether withdrawals are being manually reviewed When the problem is expected to be resolved I understand that exchanges can experience technical problems. What worries me is the complete lack of transparency. If there is a technical issue, just say so. If there is a wallet maintenance issue, say so. If there is a backlog, communicate it. Instead, I have been left with funds locked for over a week and no meaningful answers. While researching the issue, I found multiple recent reports from users mentioning withdrawals remaining in “Initiating” status for extended periods. That makes me wonder whether this is an isolated case or part of a larger problem. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently experienced withdrawals stuck in “Initiating”, missing TXIDs for extended periods Most importantly: Did your withdrawal eventually go through, or were your funds returned? At this point I’m trying to determine whether this is a temporary operational issue or whether I should be seriously concerned about the safety and accessibility of funds on the platform. Any information from current or former AscendEX users would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/itsckomi [link] [Kommentare]

Hi everyone, I'm a PhD researcher at Mainz University of Applied Sciences, Germany. My dissertation looks at how interface and UX design shape user trust in AI/LLM-based chatbots, specifically how to support calibrated trust, where users neither over-rely on a system nor dismiss a capable one. As part of this, I've developed a structured method that helps designers or developers decide which trust-related interface elements to use in a chatbot, and how strongly to apply them, depending on the use context. I'm looking for practitioners to apply the method to a worked example and tell me whether it's understandable, useful, and applicable in practice. Critical feedback is exactly what I'm after; there are no right or wrong answers. Who I'm looking for: People who design, build, or research AI/LLM-based products, e.g.: UX, product, or interaction designers AI/ML engineers, data scientists, or applied-AI / conversational-AI practitioners Advanced students or researchers in these areas You should be comfortable reading and responding in English. What's involved (~20-30 min, at your own pace): Read a short description of the method and a sample chatbot case Apply the method step by step to that case, noting your reasoning as you go Rate it on three dimensions (clarity, usefulness, applicability) and leave open feedback Details: Fully anonymous online survey. Voluntary, no compensation. No personal data is required beyond a few optional questions about your professional background. Responses are used only for my dissertation, and you can stop any time before submitting. Consent details are on the first page.
