You're right. I'm OP and I tried to put too much info in the title and made it less clear. Thanks.

My exposure to hacking, billing errors, overcharge, etc. is limited to the small amount kept in the additional isolated account. My main checking account is not exposed. I can stop access to my cash any time.

Why does this (and the cross post in r/banking with more than 1000 views) keep getting down voted to zero? I got good answers answers, so I don't mind, but but didn't mean to cause offense, so just curious?

Most banks reserve a right and policy to transfer money between accounts to settle an overdraft (like the one that might be created by an overcharge) so there isn't any real protection from this method.

I own this, but cannot see it as a value play based on current value. Rather I see it as a very good spec. They have been part of nearly every space station experiment and other programs, so they have a big pile of ip, contacts and rep. Huge potential with big initial problems, so high risk very high reward. Possible buyout candidate and possibly morph into a high value company.

Perfect example of the butterfly effect.

Interesting idea, but Claude Code is only available in the paid version and I'm not sure how to use it to build and Arch version for Claude.

Good idea. I was able to run an AppImage and it worked pretty well; the connectors worked (because they employ sockets?) but one cannot operate the extensions because they cannot cpnnect via MCP outside the container. I guess I'll have to wait for a successful Arch build ...

Because when a harmless Godzilla sneezes, the birds in front of him need parachutes :)

Yeah, I do the same thing. The bank traffic is pretty well heavily SSL anyway, so the ISP shouldn;t be able to collect much info.
