Cenarius Hubsoft 1.8.1 Team Elite Edition

Cenarius Hubsoft - Team Elite Edition

Cenarius is a modern, Python-based Direct Connect hub server built around the classic NMDC protocol, with a strong focus on security, reliability, and administrative control.

Inspired by established hubsofts such as VerliHub and HeXHub, Cenarius aims to combine the flexibility of traditional Direct Connect servers with modern software engineering practices and an intuitive native macOS management interface.

Key Features:

- NMDC Protocol Support - Compatibility with traditional Direct Connect clients, including user authentication, chat, private messaging, searching, and connection negotiation.
- Advanced Security - Configurable flood protection, connection and command rate limiting, anti-spam mechanisms, IP filtering, and authentication abuse prevention.
- User & Access Management - Registered accounts, role-based permissions, bans, restrictions, and configurable user policies.
- Native macOS Administration - A SwiftUI-based dashboard for monitoring hub activity, managing connected users, adjusting configuration, and controlling the server.
- Flexible Configuration - Extensive control over connection limits, client restrictions, sharing requirements, search behavior, and security policies.
- Database Reliability - SQLite persistence with integrity verification, protected configuration writes, and safeguards against data corruption.
- Network Resilience - Connection lifecycle management, bounded shutdown procedures, resource limits, and defensive handling of malformed or abusive client traffic.
- Modular Architecture - A Python networking engine separated from the administration interface, providing a foundation for future development and platform expansion.

Project Goals:

Cenarius is designed to provide hub operators with a secure, configurable, and maintainable alternative to traditional NMDC hub software.

A hobby project under development, with ongoing work on security hardening, performance optimization, automated testing, and client compatibility.

FearDC Trading — an autonomous trading desk that runs itself

A two-sleeve desk that trades on a schedule, unattended.
Stocks on Alpaca with paper or live, crypto on Revolut with real money.

Deterministic Python handles every mechanical must-fire job — ratcheting stops, tiered profit-takes, research fetches, hard risk guardrails.
Claude AI sits in the single judgment seat and makes each final buy/sell call, inside rules that are enforced in code.

Every run follows the same four-phase loop:

1. Review past lessons + real outcomes
2. Research the market
3. Decide & place guarded orders
4. Reflect — write one lesson so the next call is sharper

It compounds judgment, not just capital.
Everything lands on one split-screen dashboard you read at a glance — self-hosted, your keys, your machine.

Launch offer: $349
