.@SatoshiLite let me know if you'd like to setup a retainer now, I accept litecoin.

@SatoshiLite instead of legal review hacker review.

@SatoshiLite But how much would you pay a hacker to reveal a weakness worth many times the retainer?

@SatoshiLite that exact prediction was stated at the dinner table tonight!

@SatoshiLite @Steven_McKie Personally, I have an AI review all my smart contracts.

@SatoshiLite #bangsheadagainsttable BigLaw/Big4 likely to create internal "forensic code analysis" teams; consumers won't bother. No change.

@SatoshiLite it is pretty similar actually, good lawyers should be able to do that

@SatoshiLite not the future, we are working on smart contract security since 2014. The DAO just displayed the content of the Pandora's box

@SatoshiLite smart contract in blockchain system has no future. especially after this dao fiasco.

@SatoshiLite Far cheaper, more competent and trustworthy will be an AI

@SatoshiLite @cgledhill Precisely - and maybe both too.

@SatoshiLite better documentation for smart contracts would be good too (especially if it can accept $100 mil+ in funding from investors)

@SatoshiLite might be better to build a system that does not require extra security.

@SatoshiLite in semiconductor design, that's a thing, for a long time. They're called verification engineers.

@SatoshiLite Actually good lawyers (legal hackers) may be the best doing that. Legal code met Internet & became digital. Scripts socialized.

@SatoshiLite But the big difference is that "looking over smartcontracts" is (for the most part) very easy to automate.

@SatoshiLite No, in the future *lawyers* will review smart contracts. Some of those lawyers will themselves be smart contracts.

@SatoshiLite with this difference that you need lawyer for every contract and hacker for one type of smart contract

@SatoshiLite In the future, we are going to hire hackers to look over a smart contract on the testnet just like we should today.
