there are 8 years of podcasts that people can take out of context
i did not know about the bug until that thursday everyone else found out, and as soon as i did i posted here and on twitter
It is not a random clip taken out of context. It is a very specific admition just a few days after the public release of 4.0.1. The usb bug from 4.0.0 ( that is being used to hand wave away this statement ) was never public and therefore no one was vulnerable to a USB bug. You couldn't have "stolen everyone's bitcoin" with that bug but you could with the entropy bug.
Listen close again. Listen to the whole thing:
Odell says, "I have a, I actually have ONE PIECE OF KNOWLEGE, that if you did follow my guide you're not vulnerable to IT, but I'm not allowed to say what THAT PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE IS."
Knowing the guide protects users is NOT "THE PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE"
The "PIECE OF KNOWLEDGE" must be the entropy bug, and the dice rolls protected your followers.
What exactly did NVK tell you that "you weren't allowed to say" ???
