Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

Right now I'm working on withdrawing money from cs.money and Steam balance.

It's been sitting there for years, and I finally found health, time, and dedication to withdraw it.

On cs.money I had $35k and on Steam balance I had $12k.

The only way to get money from cs.money trade mode is to buy skins and sell them somewhere else.

On Steam, on the other hand, I buy Steam Decks via Steam balance and sell them locally.

I have sold 3 in the last 2 days.

Last 2 days I've been taking a short break from coding a bot for cs.money to recover some health back (I have RSI).

damn. That is a lot of skins. Yea, make sense to try to automate that. Approx how much time does it take to turn it into money?

It's fast and easy if you are willing to accept big losses, but slow and hard if you want to save thousands of dollars.

However, it's important not to be too cheap - a friend of mine was stuck with a $150,000 balance on CS.Money because he only wanted to withdraw money in the most optimal way.
