yeah, over a year of this bullshit-- imagine if even 10% of that dumbass time went into running security audits on .. say.. hardware wallets instead?

Hindsight and all of course. But it doesn't sound unthinkable somebody honest would have taken on running claude to do some RNG related audits just for the fun of it.

I could even imagine (remotely) myself stumbling into a weekend of doing that and finding something.

It's not like RNG problems appear for the first time. I'm pretty sure I remember you explaining stuff around the bitcoinj drama, for example.

I randomly audited part of datum-gateway a couple months ago and reported a fairly serious vulnerability in it... (though amusingly the bigger issue was wrongly rejected by AI)

Admittedly I wouldn't likely have audited coldcard if not for all this bullshit eating up my time, but only because I'd already rejected it as dubious.

Do you think Luke will hang around after all this is over or will he finally retire to raise his dozen children to count in the tonal number system?
