for those wondering why Monero is the only thing that has been safe from any AI or super intelligence finding vulnerabilities so far. No inflation bug, no double-spend, no de-anonymization.

Victims so far: lightning (CLN), lightning swaps (boltz), lightning again (BTCPayServer), Liquid Network, COLDCARD, Zcash (inflation bug)

Only real bitcoin, and monero, survived past 2026

Overkill or get killed
I should really show the follow up paragraph:

"While I'm not the King of Monero, I am frustrated my approval was given to a PR on a faulty premise. I'm trying to funnel this frustration into not having to worry about this anymore. Yes, serializing the entire TX is overkill. That's the point. It may be less efficient. This offers a 5x perf boost. I'd rather hear we left .1x on the table than hear we had a double spend in the next release."

I hope more developers of bitcoin security code don't feel bad about "overkill", either!
