@bitcoindudebro @CaffeSatoshi Sure. But how? Because as far as I understand, Bitcoin doesn't have fungibility in practice.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@lukedewolf And by the way, I think you got this part backwards:

> I ignored my own pragmatic assessment in the name of idealism. I betrayed my own moral compass.

You don't betray your morals by following your ideals; you betray them by letting pragmatism override what you believe is right

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@lukedewolf > And my top priority is as it always has been: to separate money from state.
Bitcoin needs more people like you who keep sight of that objective instead of getting lost in software technicalities, podcast grifting, status games, or milking the Bitcoin cow for a few more dollars.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@L0RINC @theinstagibbs Interesting. I've found https://t.co/z71Zd3jiMR, which explicitly says the issue was found with Kimi K3. But where are the other "piles and piles" of AI-reported bugs/fixes?

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@TheBlueMatt @kyletorpey - Store of value: stablecoins winning for people who want digital access to dollars/euros
- Medium of exchange: stablecoins are winning
- Unit of account: fiat still dominates

Unless the dollar/euro collapses, we face a long monetary war ahead of us. Rome took centuries to fall

@callebtc Can you please shut the fuck up and make some actual contribution to relevant Bitcoin software (Bitcoin Core, electrs, Sparrow) instead of playing Bitcoin dev for the cameras, grifting scarce Bitcoin funding, and paying agents to build irrelevant shit?

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@lopp Yeah. Bitcoin Core devs are just a bunch of idiots who still insist on writing and reading code, reviewing PRs and writing BIPs themselves, instead of letting AI agents do their magic.

What a waste of progress.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@stephanlivera @Pledditor @reardencode @rbitcoin_org A big test suite also written by AI.

So AI reviewing AI-written code against AI-written test, with almost no human intervention? Yes, very reassuring.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@raw_avocado "Some really cool use case for Bitcoin"?

Creating a new form of money and challenging the fiat system isn't cool enough for you?

I don't know, mate. Either you were high when you did the interview, or I'm not high enough right now.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@gladstein Or an agentic-assisted PR that was merged and materially improved freedom, privacy, or security for users in any of those projects?

Show me the merged PRs, please.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@gladstein You only describe AI capabilities but I'm still missing the evidence of outcomes in the core Bitcoin software stack

Can you point to a concrete example where AI found a vulnerability in Bitcoin Core/Electrs/Fulcrum/Sparrow/Liana/etc. that was independently confirmed and patched?

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@bitkitwallet But what the fuck do you actually verify?

Do you verify the code your node runs? Your Electrum server? Your wallet software? Your hardware wallet? The binaries you download?

You haven't stopped trusting shit; you just want everyone to know you're a smart Bitcoiner, right?

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@bitkitwallet I hate the "don’t trust, verify" phrase, because in Bitcoin it’s mainly used as a badge of intellectual superiority: I don’t trust. I verify; not like you, idiot!

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@oomahq No need to see conspiracies everywhere. A much simpler explanation is that people often start paying attention only after something becomes news.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@Patricksaltr @lukedewolf @murchandamus @wk057 I wasn't talking about Knots. My point was that Satoshi was describing the realities of 2010, not endorsing one implementation forever.
I don't think a single implementation built around the "code is the spec" idea is a healthy long-term model.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

Luke and Mechanic bad -> Anything from Ocean bad.

[Murch @murchandamus]

@lukedewolf @Cookies945 @wk057 Given that a couple C-level Ocean employees are instigators of the RDTS movement and frequently broadcast some of the worst disinformation about the situation, it was indeed a (positive) surprise to see @wk057 correct a number of his colleagues’ talking points.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@lukedewolf @Shireh0dl > Bitcoin doesn't need to be exciting or cool for developers. It needs to be money.
Exactly!

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@Patricksaltr @lukedewolf @murchandamus @Cookies945 @wk057 Back then, a second implementation would have made Bitcoin harder to develop. Today, multiple implementations could make Bitcoin more resilient.

[serbtc @serbtcx]

@Patricksaltr @lukedewolf @murchandamus @Cookies945 @wk057 That quote is almost always stripped of its context:

A few posts later, Satoshi wrote:

"A second version would be a massive development and maintenance hassle for me."

That was 2010. Today is a different world.
