Nvk was shitting on all hot wallets and even hardware wallets that weren’t his, yet his dedicated, specialized, secure wallet fucked up big time!!!

It is sad. I liked the coldcard, but again a proverb from Solomon’s Proverbs in the Old Testament proves to be right:

„Pride comes before a fall“
, derived from:

„Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.“
Proverbs 16:18

Still sad about the whole thing. I wasn‘t aware of NVKs attitude. I am not well enough in the scene. I even did not know NVK and just discover what he said these days.

I am sad about what could have been an excellent product. Maybe it still is, if the code gets fully reviewed. #NVK should make it open source now and bow before the community. For me this is the only way this product could survive. - Not sure, however, for the company.

Well, good point tbh. Everyone and his aunt now checking Coldcard Firmware for flaws.

No - it’s not “fixed”. It’s always been a shitty product from a team too small to do security well, and that hasn’t changed. The only difference is we now know that from painful 20:20 hindsight. The #define code bug was a rookie mistake that should have been caught in a code review before...
