Hello bitcoin OGs!

The Coldcard case really shook me up. Not only because of the theft, but because of a mantra that all y’all OGs are praying on a daily basis: don’t trust, verify!
Who verified the Coldcard seed gen? - Well, obviously not the guys that should have.
Who is now able to educate us, the bitcoiners without a degree in it, how we can verify, if the Coldcard works properly in dice mode?

Thank you!

Most people buying hardware wallets are not geeks, they are just trusting what the bitcoin "experts" suggest. I feel sorry for them, as it could also have happened to me, I was just lucky to trust the "right" experts.

nostr:nprofile1qqs8un4fpvazfl56n9uy40kzy7c37uh4le2uls4y2s5mn2qjwlgzl9qmhyvyr you can check the dice path yourself without being a dev. coldcard shows the sha256 of your roll string, so hash the same rolls on an offline machine and compare, then derive the words from that hash offline and confirm the...

There is no silver bullet, unfortunately. No single answer. But maybe the following helps: https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqsx7un89ejx2un8d9nkjtn0venxc6twv4jkuarjdac8jmtpde6kzmqprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9uju7npwpehgmmjv5hxgetkqgsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycrqsqqqlstx2qda9

Lyn was very open about her childhood and the struggles she went through. I would love to hear her message to the young folks - the next generation, that is just about to discover bitcoin. When she thinks back to her younger self, what message or lesson would she give herself today?

Where can we hear about that? Any particular podcast? Website?

I think this is a very bad idea. You can easily be forced to press your finger on something or scan your face. Whereas if my seed phrase is hidden somewhere away it’s simply not possible to access i...

Some folks have more than 1 wallet. Some have a wallet for each bitcoin and other wallets for daily spending. Some folks are not even individuals, but rather enterprises. There is use cases over use cases. Don’t think just because you personally don’t need it, that nobody else finds it useful. Also, it sure helps to onboard the mass market. 👍🏻🧡
