See that's what I find fascinating, why are they not trying to sell you panels with power management system with integrated VRAM which automatically provides compute to ROUTSR when you produce excess in order to reduce the amortisation time? Not there yet? Grid tie, no batteries or over scale the low cost end of panels with battery backup element still reduces amortisation if excess power goes directly to distributed compute. 🤷

Oh I think by the sounds of it I have enough entropy and took the correct procedures. But I do think it's a good way to provide breathing space anyhow. To help one not panic and make mistakes. My thought was always main wallet sacrificial, same with wallet 2 that has a pretty sturdy passphrase. Put the rest in very long passphrase subwallets. Can be a little freaky, don't get me wrong and I'd advise anyone who does this to do multiple wallet recoveries with small amount at risk to get used to it but it does provide a layer of breathing space. I think. Maybe. At least I hope so 🤷

What if you found the flaw and you were a bad actor? First move to drain a wallet or first move to create a list before anyone knows and set up a more broad based attack? That's the first thing but you really think people haven't been trying? I know someone who's trying to guess private keys. Algorithms running away in the background constantly. Fortunately, not a bad actor, simply testing the system but I'd guess these things are a constant, not an abberation

After this crazy 24 hours, I'll just put this out there. Everyone has their way to manage their keys. I have a few cold cards. I also live in Costa Rica which means obtaining a new device fast is not quite as easy as many other locations. When I set mine up, I considered this, as well as threat vectors. I used 100 dice rolls but also multiple passphrase subwallets with varying phrase lengths of phrases I know I will never forget. Am currently sitting down trying to be calm and reading the posts and comments from those withych greater knowledge in order to assess. I simply activated my protocol. I have sparrow open on a computer and watching 2 wallet levels with sacrificial corn. I understand the dice roll should mean am ok but there's nothing wrong with a little paranoia. The passphrases on the other wallets are long enough that my thought is that I'll have sufficient heads up to sweep them due to the additional entropy.
I'm not cypherpunk and technical enough to truly understand the math but it wasn't hard to set this up and it at least gives you a monitoring solution. Maybe I'll get holes shot through it in replies which might give better answers anyway, so I'd appreciate them. But if not, I hope this helps.

I personally find using multiple chats to develop a prompt is useful. Think of the goal, discuss in a chat, ask it to generate a prompt to achieve the goal. Then put that in a separate chat and ask for a review. Try to think of questions to find flaws in logic and approach. I will often do that a number of times before using a prompt in Claude code. Whilst it catches flaws, it also helps me to developy understanding of what am trying to achieve. A kind of brainstorming.

I was in line once waiting to check in for flight out of a southern African country many years ago. I started chatting to two people in front of me.

They refused to say anything after the next comment: "and we aren't coming back, it isn't what we were told and it's dark". That was it. Nothing else.

No quite sure relevance to question but if you do ever go to the pantheon, look at the carved columns. I think when you go in at the entrance it's second column on your right. Beautiful carved columns. That one in particular is a history of British monarchs. You will find the bottom third is a fabrication of people that never existed. All the made up kings after Britons split from Catholic church. Pretty cool example of historical perspectives and propaganda with really quite beautiful carving

Dunno. In Spain they make a good effort. Back in 2008 when the municipalities were running out of cash, they got truly creative. I woke up one morning at 7am and my car was gone. They'd come to my road, towed loads of cars, put up signs but predated them saying that "new parking space demarcation" was going to happen, slapped some paint down with disabled logos and the parking space marking, fined everyone for parking in a disabled space + local muni fee on top for "storing vehicle". Total they took from me to get my car back was just over 400eu. Just to leave it feeling nicer, they scratched the shit out of the bonnet and 2 side panels. My favourite part was the space they painted though. My neighbour had a disabled parking space marked half way across his garage entrance. Fucking clown show. At least car was old and didnt give a damn cause if I'd wanted to repair it as well, would have been another few hundred. There's zero recourse. The municipalities are true mafias depending where you live.
Had a great example from friend down the coast. Pretty young and got voted in as local mayor in a place where muni was bankrupt. It's close to sotogrande on the south coast. If you visit, nice cycling routes and amazingly well looked after. Within 1 year he was just doing loads of cool projects. I asked him how, considering the area had reputation for having no cash... "I won't give details but if the money isn't being stolen, it's just not that hard"

2026-07-28 22:58:22 CEST

- reply

Wait till you're watching them steal money from your accounts with no recourse for no reason. Highly recommend having a euro account on the side so you can transfer. Don't fight. If the muni starts stealing from you, take balance to zero and wait. The is no recourse and there's no protection. There's plenty of bullshit about it but no reality. They stole over 1100euros from me whilst fighting them before transfered everything out. Then heard nothing. No complaints at all.

For sure but the point should really be accountability in any system of human interaction. USSR had it's fair share. There was a company that worked out how to separate spilled crude from topsoil. When they got the contracts to clean up the surface mess left post USSR collapse, they posted reserves of over 60m bbl! At the same time, shell spills in Nigeria are covered up. It's a similar story across the board but the argument being brought down to political is merely distracting from the lack of accountability on all sides and the need for a physical cost on damage caused by poor practices and negligence.

Thanks. Sage advice. I've been doing just that and working in Claude code only. No coding done from cowork because that's the framework it can't help but ignore sometimes. Really weird for them not to target fixing cause everything ticking along and then it just haywire and you're recovering from last commit. Very confusing to someone not used to building apps. Now it's just cli, that work on skills etc is paying off without the occasional tornados. Achieved more in two weeks than previous 2 months

2026-07-28 06:12:24 CEST

- reply

Thanks. Actually making plenty progress now. Main two things would be that scoping out before is obviously great but if not technical, hard to know what's possible to do. So that caused a bunch of rebuilds and then realization better spend days in chat mode just asking questions and then going for a walk and trying to clear mind and reimagine. Secondly, I went for the path of what seemed leastfriction and used Claude but long time since burried in CLIs so found co-work more accessible. Problem is am doing it on a windows machine which I need to use for my work. Nobody advertises the fact that on windows, cowork uses cache files in windows apps folders in the background. This means you make all the effort to set up rules and the md files to guide behaviour but every now and again, it goes back to cache, ignores all the learning and goes totally mental. Took me a long time to work it out. New nvme goes in tomorrow and a migration to Linux finally. It's kinda comical to have Claude apologies and say it can't help ignoring rules because cowork wired that way. Be nice if anthropic warned of this.
I think that kinda explains lack of asking for help. Never tried this stuff before but find myself training a neural net on pattern recognition and have built out the first full tool I wanted. On my second project, am integrating obsidian vaults into neo4j graph and embedding mutpli local agents for querying and building up a research tool. Feel like am over the hump. Fascinated nating, humbling and extremely empowering all at the same time!
