Shinobi: Bitcoin Core's cautious development is an edge in the AI vulnerability hunt
- —Shinobi says AI now handles up to 95% of vulnerability discovery in low-level software
- —Flaws found in Bitcoin Core are low-severity and pose no risk to consensus
- —Users are advised to keep the bulk of their funds in cold storage
- —Lightning node operators may consider shutting nodes down during the transition
Why it matters: Bitcoin's slow, deliberate upgrade pace, long criticized as a weakness, is turning into a security advantage as AI speeds up exploit discovery.
