I went to their FAQ to see how they close the analog hole and found this gem, likely indicative of focus-group sentiment: > Do I have to use the AI agent tools? No. The AI tools are optional. You can hold your rewards, manage them directly, or allocate them to Gudtrip’s supported open-source agent tools where available. So the analog hole's even worse than one might have thought. I wonder if there's a no-purchase-necessary clause somewhere; could I purchase a $20 vape and let it sit in the corner while an open-source "agentic" harness (read: hacked-up Python script) slowly accrues cryptocoins from a cannabis-flavored reincarnation of the [Bitcoin Faucet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bitcoin#Bitcoin_faucets)? I wish coiners could understand that their desire to fund effective altruism and cipherpunkery is directly tied to these ever-more-outlandish schemes. Failing that, I wish all coiners a fair and free market which efficiently determines the optimal price of their chosen cryptocurrency.
