Mimir: the agent that knows everything and spends nothing

Odin gave an eye for one drink from the well of wisdom. HODLBarbarian gave up cloud convenience instead, and got a personal agent that can see his entire financial life without any of it leaving the house. The problem is familiar: your money is scattered across a dozen institutions that each show you one slice, and every tool that offers to assemble the whole picture wants your credentials sitting on its servers. This talk is the architecture of the alternative. A local model, a sealed vault, a broker that hands out one credential at a time, and watch-only wallet descriptors, arranged so the agent can know everything and touch nothing. Mimir was a severed head: all counsel, no hands. That is a security model, not just a joke. The middle of the talk is the part nobody writes up, the approval economy. Every secret costs a tap, and a system that asks you fourteen times a night trains you to stop reading the prompts. He brings the failure log with him, including six denied nights in nine days where the guard was right every time, and a fix that turned out to be half a fix and broke again the same day. Then a live demo and the uncomfortable lessons, including an agent that recorded a security finding which never happened and how that fiction survived three review passes and became fact. You will leave knowing how to give an agent read access to things that matter without giving it the ability to move a single satoshi, and how to design approvals that people do not train themselves to ignore.
