Opus is able to do a lot more, people are doing better plugins and orchestration (looping).

Subagents are now super easy, so you can either have specialized subagents (i have a tester, a bitcoin developer, a reviewer), or just for parallel dev. Each subagent is its own session so it isolated the context window.

Opencode is really good now.

And then things like puppeteer are actually good via mcp now

If you haven’t tried opus, codex5.2, minimax, or glm in opencode/claudecode/codex, your mental model for the state of coding agents is off. Especially with mcp tools like puppeteer the window of possible is rapidly expanding

Go play with GLM-4.7 and MiniMax2.1.

The gap between open and closed models has never been this small.

facts lol

Fantastic

4mb every ten minutes, with fees measured in bytes.

Zero serious people think bitcoin is trying to be bittorrent or cloud storage. The only people who think that are the people trying to drum up aupport for confiscatory forks or for playing whack-a-mole disabling parts of bitcoin to try to fight an (already dead) nft market.

I like bitcoin

It’s free if you’re withdrawing over 100k sats.

lmao. wat

mnav with the boys

Had a funny thought last night:

You have some transaction you want to make on bitcoin.
Separate from that, say you have a brc-20 token. You inscribe a transfer message.
You take the bitcoin transaction you wanted to make and you attach one additional input and one additional output: the input is the brc-20 transfer and the output is an anyone-can-spend.

What happens when you throw that transaction into the mempool? Anyone (at least anyone who has the software to look for it) can construct a transaction that spends that brc-20 output to make a new transfer message and send it to themselves. If many people see this, then they have to outbid each other in the descendant transaction and have the highest cpfp included.

Maybe a miner is able to see it and just includes their cpfp package at zero fee. In fact maybe the original tx is sent to miners paying no bitcoin fee, and they include it with their descendant that claims the brc-20.

You have now paid your transaction fees in brc-20. (btw, i am not sure about the mechanics but in principle this would work with rgb or taro too?)

So you could either attach a low bitcoin fee and relay the tx through the mempool and everyone can fight over it. Or you can send it to miners with no bitcoin fee and pay them in-tx with your token. In either case, the only people who can extract this value are people who have the software to capture it. If miners deploy the software, then they can capture it.

One last funny thought: brc-20s are all meme coins. What if one wasnt. What if it was pegged to a token on another chain? So what if you had a WETH brc-20, and now you can pay bitcoin transaction fees with it, but only to mining pools who can accept it?

I dont think the economics make sense for a pegged token. For a memecoin? Maybe but then again why not just sell it for bitcoin. Still kinda funny that mechanically this works. I wonder what conditions would have to be true to have it make economic sense to pay your tx fees in another token.

Talking to some people about OP_VAULT today. Any questions you have that you want the answers to?
