If you think BIP-110 failed you never understood the objective. It was extremely successful controlled opposition.
Core's influence has been consolidated, solidified.
Resistance shattered and demoralized.
"Spam" is now a good thing, pre-excusing more Bithereum scope creep.

Haven't run into a single guard-rail issue with GPT 5.6 Sol like everyone has been complaining about
Guessing there's trust tiers based on peoples usage history
Bigger problem is it's pedantic and hallucinates vulns
Looking at the patch commits it seems that an attacker could glean connection details to the backing node.
Even if there's no evidence you were hit yet and have no funds hot, you wouldn't want to receive a payment with an attacker lying in wait,
Rotate the connection credentials to the backing node.

Make a mental note of who's engaging in the "casino" dice cargo-cult purity spiraling
Shitty dice are fine


Checked a repo not our own for calibration last night with GPT 5.6 Sol
Critical hit first try, a fairly popular software wallet. Disclosed to publisher just now.
You may want to consider checking and building stuff from source yourself until the ecosystem has time to catch up.


Silver lining here is that fake L2 wallets built exclusively on swaps are facing their comeuppance.
They were warned about these single points of failure.

Do not bin your Coldcards


Key management is an intractable problem that goes back as far as computers using cryptography at all, engineers in the 70s and 80s recognized that the ultimate vulnerability of any cryptographic system was not the strength of the mathematical cipher, but the fragility of the human interfaces required to use it.
Every email challenge, 2FA token, username/password, biometric, or even SSL sites you've interfaced with is an abstraction or workaround the difficulty in managing keys.
Seed phrases are hardly an improvement over post-it notes on monitors in the 90s, most disks are volatile storage, and memory is lossy.
Large custodians with geographically dispersed enterprise-class HSMs behind policy engines are going to be the inevitable conclusion for most until we start thinking outside of the box rather than tinkering with toys and treating bad BIPs as canonical.
