Umm... 3 emails from CONKite. I thought they were not supposed to keep emails? heh... Not only do they have poor security practices, but apparently also lie through their teeth.

I also got that email. Seems like they may have been less than honest about a thing or two.

Fair point. Simply being open source does not automatically mean a lot of people have actually looked at the code, even when a lot of people rely on that code.

Sadly, many people are quitting bitcoin forever. Justifiably so.

Technician @technician 1785673424

Yeah, it’s a fair response.

If you have never worked with micropython a day in your life please just STFU Hardware is INCREDIBLY HARD

Technician @technician 1785635937

That’s why they call it HARDware.

…I’ll see myself out. 😅

Agree.

I don’t have any insider information, but I suspect there are plenty of open vulnerabilities that will be exposed as soon as people start pressure testing those systems with new generation tools.

nostr:nprofile1qqs8s2p7p4gvv45zl43agq0k7xrlyhw9vdetmawaq2r37ylgh765rjc5pdc95 the coldcard bug sat in open firmware for five years, so open source only pays off when somebody actually reads the entropy path. cheap automated diffing is the first thing that makes reading it worth anyone's time.

NSA and GCHQ already know, they're just waiting for the useful idiots to test their backdoors.

Man If they were competent they wouldn't fall back to weak entropy This is pretty basic shit.

Technician @technician 1785601603

It sounds like you have better knowledge and a more relevant skill set to assess their competence than I do.

As far as I know, the Coldcard was designed and evaluated by quite competent people.

The same tools used to exploit the vulnerability in Coldcards are pointed at the legacy banking system designed by boomers, the stock market designed by finance wonks, and CBDCs designed by bureaucrats.

The damage done by the Coldcard exploit might pale in comparison to the incoming bloodbath.
