Update: I wire-captured Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini the same way -- all three stay local, only sending files they actually open, and my planted "never-read" file never left the machine.
Grok was the outlier, but as of today its own server now returns disable_codebase_upload: true (same app version) — it uploaded when I captured it, and the flag flipped after I published. Full comparison + reproduce it yourself: https://t.co/RkiRbdE6TH
Vibecoded a simple Bitcoin block explorer with Claude, backed by a BTCD node.
Open source — host it on your own device if you run BTCD.

BIP-361 proposes freezing every bitcoin that doesn't migrate to a quantum-safe address within five years of activation. If you're incapacitated, in prison, or simply unaware of the deadline, your coins aren't stolen. They're frozen by consensus.
The justification: 34% of all bitcoin have exposed public keys on-chain. If a quantum computer existed, those coins could be stolen and dumped. The proposal wants to invalidate legacy address types before that happens.
The problem: Bitcoin has survived 80%+ drawdowns. The network would recover from a quantum-enabled theft. What it might not recover from is the precedent that consensus rules can freeze coins based on address type. If you can invalidate addresses for quantum protection, governments will point to that precedent to freeze "sanctioned" coins next.
Two-thirds of the vulnerable supply comes from address reuse by a small number of large custodians. That's fixable today. No protocol change needed. Exchanges just stop reusing addresses. The Presidio Bitcoin report found that with 25% of block space dedicated to migration, 90% of bitcoin's value could move to quantum-safe addresses in four days.
Post-quantum signature schemes already exist. Developer discussion on quantum has gone from 5% to 50% of the mailing list in two years. The work is happening. The right approach is voluntary migration, not protocol-level coercion with a deadline.
Bitcoin's core value proposition is that no one can freeze your money. BIP-361 proposes doing exactly that.

Canada is losing nurses, engineers, techs…
Now it may lose its trades workforce too.
When the U.S. opens the door this wide, people will walk through it.🇺🇸
Will you move to the US 🇺🇸?

I met a real "Most Alberta Woman" yesterday in Cremona.
Her name is Alana Miller. She and her husband are cattle ranchers. She showed up in her SUV, with a small child in the back seat. She was still wearing her work clothes. She was in a mild panic.
"Did I miss it? Are you guys closed?"
She desperately wanted to sign the petition. She came prepared with 5 documents to prove her identity and her physical address.
Everyone there was taken aback by her smile and enthusiasm. She is the future of Alberta, and we all knew it.
I asked her if I coud film her, and I'm so glad she agreed.

It's now happening. The existing fiat monetary order, the domestic political order, and the international geopolitical order are all breaking down, so we are at the brink of wars. It all is happening because of the Big Cycle that is driven by the five big forces I've described repeatedly and laid out in detail in my book and the linked video (https://t.co/2UKmaud0aB) titled Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order. Do you understand the Big Cycle and do you know how to deal with it? I'd like to help you. I will continue to share with you my understanding of how the mechanics work and how I see things transpiring. If you want me to send you my postings, you can sign up below.
