https://t.co/hYvF1puD5U I'm one of the judges who gave this project a well-deserved first place at the @btcplusplus hackathon. I've been wanting to try MobileCoin. But it's such a failure I can't even buy any. @signalapp needs to accept reality and just add Bitcoin support.

Arguing about filters on the internet is basically a Dollar Auction... the only winning move is not to play. The good-faith folks are getting punished for participating. There are no winners. There is no progress.

Codex agent is crazy. Doing library refactors across several packages in a relatively complex monorepo. One shots everything. 😵💫
