I replaced my dev team with an AI agent.

12+ trading strategies now live across 6 exchanges. One operator.

Here's everything that went wrong — and the 7 lessons that came out of it. 🧵

Everyone's arguing about $DOG Mode. Almost nobody noticed: you don't have to wait for it.

There is no DOG Mode software yet — no repo, no release. It's an announcement. But it only changes two relay-policy values in Bitcoin Core, and both are things you can change yourself today:

1️⃣ The dust limit (294–546 sats → 1 sat)
Add to your bitcoin.conf:
dustrelayfee=0
Restart. Your node now relays 1-sat outputs.

2️⃣ The transaction size limit (400K → 3.9M weight units)
This one's hardcoded — MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT in src/policy/policy.h. Change the constant, compile Core from source, done. That's the entire "new client."

The honest part most guides will skip: your node alone changes almost nothing. Relay policy only matters if your peers forward the transactions and at least one miner includes them. Until adoption exists, non-standard transactions just die in the mempool.

That's the real story: $DOG Mode isn't a technical breakthrough. It's an adoption campaign packaged as software — and understanding that is understanding how Bitcoin policy actually gets made.

When the official repo drops, I'll publish the full node setup. Until then: now you know what's actually inside the box. 🫡
