This can be a super-power! But it can also mean repetition, nasty workarounds, and unreviewable code :(<br/><br/>For the BOLT12 payer proofs, I asked it to take my implementation, produce test vectors then compare against Vincenzo&#39;s LDK implementation. There was a bug in the spec around field ordering which this found, and it proceeded to fix my code, adding another complex pass to reorder the fields. Instead I asked it to change the Rust code, and indeed it was much simpler there too.<br/><br/>If I hadn&#39;t caught this, we would and been stuck with a very weird spec and a lot of gratuitous code in every codebase.<br/><br/>So now I need to start emphasizing the joy of simplicity, I guess. 2026-04-06T22:04:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrhvh96vu698u8gwz9q7yqm3xa94sw6pfjhwxh80xrce4h6yv59gcpr9mhxue69uhhxemv9ee82um5vdhhyupwvdhk6tnpw5pzputj2kr2gqkqdtkgrrg50zj942sdc9k848zgd8vhcdgrxmgklrjrdqsmmx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs94329rqswupsp2q8m9wwtfphaz596pz4h2nwhj8fmxaj4j5qg7qgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0z7k4pc'>nevent1q…k4pc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>To be clear, you&#39;re thinking of deriving a second (hardened) key, for which a signature is checked in tapscript, assuming that the keypath spends will eventually get disabled? To do that we need a BIP32 path standard, and get this advice into BIP-0341 instead of the current advice on unspendable script path selection, then get wallets to implement it. <br/><br/>Things which actually use tapscripts need to decide whether they need to do this (is the loss of keypath spend fatal, or merely inconvenient?). This also needs a clear warning: that you should anticipate loss of the keyspend path... 2026-04-04T15:29:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv7gwsg5la7l327rq8pfzu3sezd6ag5zldyu49da72jnufjnwld7gpr9mhxue69uhhxemv9ee82um5vdhhyupwvdhk6tnpw5pzputj2kr2gqkqdtkgrrg50zj942sdc9k848zgd8vhcdgrxmgklrjrke0jut Yes.<br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqspj8xvuyqlt5htc73p6f7v8typq4acqah72mw85gh7pnqtesdueksprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumr0wpczuum0vd5kzmp0qgs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpsrqsqqqqqp48vary" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…vary</a></span> </div> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/2f343b75ed99cb29a559aff091126ee52acaf499f10be89dda595281cc058756.jpg"> </blockquote> 2026-04-03T22:51:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9y84zy2qu7lcygym43j2fh7adr2efrkku4zae3s7sedz678dujjcpr9mhxue69uhhxemv9ee82um5vdhhyupwvdhk6tnpw5pzputj2kr2gqkqdtkgrrg50zj942sdc9k848zgd8vhcdgrxmgklrjr9m09fy I&#39;ve been through tech hype cycles before. They always have a grain of truth in them (otherwise they&#39;re trivially refuted) but they don&#39;t always work out. I have been through three VR waves, for example.<br/><br/>I can&#39;t tell where Quantum Computing will land, though it has all the signs of needing a few more decades of occasional hype cycles.<br/><br/>But I *can* tell that all the proposed mitigating signature schemes for Bitcoin suck hard: they&#39;re technically impressive because they&#39;re 10x better than I expected, but they&#39;re still 10x worse than what we have now.<br/><br/>This means two things: I applaud and support the continuing research. And I won&#39;t support a soft fork any new cryptographic schemes until the someone demonstrates an extant QC that can factor faster than a classical one. 2026-04-03T21:48:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0en8shhzhwyhkzpd8lv7e0nera9254uhmutjjeefjhfwur5j8xkqpr9mhxue69uhhxemv9ee82um5vdhhyupwvdhk6tnpw5pzputj2kr2gqkqdtkgrrg50zj942sdc9k848zgd8vhcdgrxmgklrjrgfaznk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0m8tjsjllfa85psmn68scmeumnm23faq82e4sus740u724ph5kfsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0e08ag0'>nevent1q…8ag0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Obviously 2026-04-03T03:50:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstjvagz40tr0qevnc9eqk288urgpns02257e04ayef7qwaqg7zueqpr9mhxue69uhhxemv9ee82um5vdhhyupwvdhk6tnpw5pzputj2kr2gqkqdtkgrrg50zj942sdc9k848zgd8vhcdgrxmgklrjrfprk2f Americans trying to get back to the moon and missed. 2026-04-02T23:14:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxp2adfhzkduzzpjem3qpg74nj4v44plgk3pz375yllq2h8flqnwcpr9mhxue69uhhxemv9ee82um5vdhhyupwvdhk6tnpw5pzputj2kr2gqkqdtkgrrg50zj942sdc9k848zgd8vhcdgrxmgklrjr4qfpla This one doesn&#39;t keep getting disconnected from LND and Eclair, because we disabled the padding feature which made all messages the same length on the wire which was to be a release feature 😔 <br/><br/>It was an obscure part of the spec, but LND have already fixed theirs for v21: kudos!

There are no rulers. You cannot prevent people doing stupid things. This is fundamental, and hardest to emotionally grasp.<br/><br/>You can, however, use existing incentives to minimize the damage to the system. That&#39;s why OP_RETURN is standard: people used to embed data in outputs, which have to be stored forever and be available for fast lookup. OP_RETURN is straight harm prevention. Luke used the coinbase input to embed prayers, which has the same effect, but you have to be a miner. <br/><br/>The only strong incentive is fees.
