Here's the full story:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5176445.0But it's long, so here's a TL;DR version:
- I'm a coder that wants really bad to be a machine learning researcher.
- My trading bot is in the state "Very promising proof of concept".
- I want to crowdfund a whole year studying and apply learned knowledge 100% to the bot.
Contributors get to use the bot (+ constant update). - Crowdfunding would allow a meticulous approach and pressure free clean code, so, the first 3 months would be just updates (+ a version of the bot you should really only use with paper trading).
- ~3 months mark: usable version.
- ~6 months for a beginning of maturity.
- then 6 months improving, aiming for awesomeness.

Here my email address: potatoe.crowdbot@gmail.com (I created it for this project, but I guess you figured that out)
And here's my email address p.otatoecrowdbot@gmail.com, and p.o.t.atoe.crow.db.ot@gmail.com , oh, and potatoe.crowdb.ot+ILovePotates@gmail.com... whatever you're gmail address is, you can put a dot between any two letters, only letters count and it will be received my the same gmail box. Also you can insert the character + followed by anything you want, it will be received.
You're a hacker too now 
welcome to the club.
PS (to the intention of moderators): I was note sure to be posting in the right sub forum in the first place. I hope the content will prevent this post to be considered as a spam. ie I'm crowdfunding studies to become a machine learning researcher. While I totally get someone trying to promote a product for a company in the very same way would be flagged as a spammer, I hope I won't be, and I'll totally get it and won't complain if you decide I am
