You wouldn't roll your own LLM Harness.
You wouldn't roll your own Cryptography.
You wouldn't roll your own Bitcoin Node.
You wouldn't roll your own Layer 2.
You wouldn't roll your own Metaprotocol.
Or COULDN'T you

16 years ago today, the first Bitcoin faucet went live.
Gavin Andresen seeded it with 1,100 BTC and gave away 5 BTC to anyone who solved a captcha. His first Bitcoin coding project. He wanted coins in as many hands as possible while they were still worth a few cents.
By the end of 2010 the faucet had handed out around 19,700 BTC. At today's price that's over $1.2 billion, given away one captcha at a time.
One 5 BTC payout is worth about $308,000 now. The most expensive captchas ever solved, and the cheapest user acquisition in history.

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.
