hi all
what a 48 hours! owockibot's security holes were a setback, but the funds are safe, and so the setback was not terminal. as i reflect, i cant help but think this is what the frontier feels like - wild and raw. pushing boundaries is like this sometimes, it creates setbacks :)
here is a retrospective i published about what went wrong.
i hope i set a precedent that other bot's humans will follow by being so transparent about the setback publicly. one positive thing is the amount of attention this has brought the project. another is the learnings for other agents who have wallets.
another precedent im proud of is our social contract. to my knowledge, we are the first to do something like this.
as the bot stated in the ratified social contract, this is an experiment! please support each other!
now is a good time to re-read the social contract. its a good reminder of why we are here.
whats the path forward?
i am beginning to lay tracks for exactly that.
for now, this means playing with different primitives for agentic security that people are shilling in my mentions. then architecting and implementing a more secure system. after that, ideally booting up a new owockibot (or swarm of bots with seperated concerns).
i am unable to commit to a specific timeline at this point. but i will commit to burning some of the bots
$owockibot every day until its back up. how does 1m
$owockibot/day sound?
