People will do what they want, but it’s prudent to call out dangerous behavior when you see it. You would warn someone about to walk off a ledge if they couldn’t see it, no? Encouraging people to vibe code a wallet is dangeous and I will absolutely point that out when I see it.

You can type the word "Cashu" and Shakespeare will build a Cashu wallet based off of a template that nostr:nprofile1qqstuu6ccnl9q9yvejhuqt4zqhvqz30z2wyf4gu43k404p3hq37ggrspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejq42ufhe built. You don't need to be a developer here, because the developer already built it. Shakespeare is just taking his code and forking it. It's not a purely vibe coded wallet from scratch. A real developer spent a very long time building it.

Now, I wouldn't use a purely vibe coded wallet from scratch, but I'd use a wallet built from Shakespeare, because I know it's source. Would I use that wallet for anything more than a hot spending wallet for Zaps? No. I'd treat it exactly the same way I treat my npub.cash wallet that I'm still using since Nut November.

Maybe that's what's missing here? Examples of what these wallets are perfect for? Recommend used cases for and against?

Thank you Derek! 🫶

I was building a cashu wallet in vercel, it generates invoices fine, and I paid it in Wos.

The payment went somewhere, but not to my wallet. 😂

The ability to experiment, learn, and iterate we get from vibe coding is kinda awesome.

see, this is an example of a wallet i wouldn't use because it's purely vibe coded by a non-developer :P

Hey, I'd throw 1 sat on it for giggles and shits.

I wouldn't use it either, it was merely a test. Only send like 10 days each test.

You get it.

You mean this template that nostr:nprofile1qqstuu6ccnl9q9yvejhuqt4zqhvqz30z2wyf4gu43k404p3hq37ggrspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvsnyk0v7 built where he states that the probability of it being a bad idea is very high, with replies from 2 other developers warning about the lack of security audits and risk of losing funds? Dumbasses, all of you.

“The probability that this is a bad idea is very high, but there's a small possibility it could be awesome

Hopelessly ignorant

and then he spent 3 months building it. it wasn't released the last day of November.
