Rene Pickhardt says that while everyone is burning millions of tokens on AI review, he did his own small part the old-fashioned way, and links a hand-written code review he filed on Electrum pull request 10794. He closes by asking whether callebtc or Rob Hamilton found anything more critical in Electrum. Held because it is a dated, checkable counterpoint in the AI-review debate the archive already carries through rob1ham-2084140242915782743 and milessuter-2084619892699897882: a named researcher doing manual review on the same codebases the automated sweep covered, with the review itself public and linkable. The post makes no claim about what either effort found, and the review's contents are not assessed here.
This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication. Last checked .
This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at , which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
Snapshot and diff bodies for this chain monitor are held in the local evidence archive but withheld from the public site because they can contain the addresses of people who published nothing themselves. Capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.

The excerpts and plain unified diffs above show the text this project held and how it changed. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.
Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
