What they did

A developer asked Grok Bot to look at an old Solana trading bot he had abandoned in January. It found 1.87 SOL he had forgotten about, and ten minutes later about 3,500 Mexican pesos were in his bank account.

How it went

A list of forgotten balances and their current value, with the steps to cash out.

Worth knowing

  • Single user post. Never paste a seed phrase or private key into any chat. Give the bot a public address to look at and do the transfer yourself.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Check my old [wallet address / exchange account / bot] for any balances I've forgotten about: tokens, staked amounts, unclaimed rewards and open positions. Show me what's there and what it's worth today. Don't move anything; tell me the steps to send it to [my exchange] and I'll approve each one.

Check a hospital bill against what Medicare would pay

A writer gave Claude the coded hospital claim (UB-04) for his late brother-in-law's $195,628 ER bill and asked it to build a spreadsheet of Medicare rates per code.
