@TimKotzman @Metaplanet What a retard 🤣

[Saifedean Ammous @saifedean]

I host a debate between @JWWeatherman_ and @giacomozucco on whether hardware wallets are a security liability. We discuss the ColdCard entropy backdoor, multi-vendor multisig, the code review process in Bitcoin Core, using generic laptops, and how to think about your threat model

[Heavily Armed Clown @heavilyarmedc]

I'm a Bitcoin maximalist. I use BTC & I run Bitcoin Core.

I don't diversify into shitcoins by running strange, alternative network code.

I don't diversify into security obscurity by running strange, alternative wallet code.

Bitcoin is the best open source digital cash.

You obviously can't trust OS generated entropy for your private keys anon.

That is why you need to click my referral link. My referral link will take you to a website signed by private keys generated with OS provided entropy.

Once there you can buy a black magic security product that will be mailed to your house. It will create safe keys for you after you roll enough dice and draw enough salt circles. These are the only keys you should ever trust.

Don't worry, the firmware running on the security product has been signed by a developer using keys generated with OS provided entropy.

Then you will also need to download some wallet software, but don't worry, this is also signed using keys generated with OS provided entropy.

Set a reminder for my upcoming Space!

I'll be hosting a debate between @giacomozucco and @JWWeatherman_ on hardware wallets.

[Forrest @ForrestHODL]

Ordered an old Thinkpad laptop, Will be flashing linux on it, installing a few pieces of Bitcoin software and showing people via tutorial videos how to use it as an Air gapped signing device.

Re: Cold Card Hack

Hello fellow Bitcoiners,

It’s been nearly one week since my wallet was drained.

I lost my entire bitcoin stack, presumably the most in the entire attack - an amount I’m more than embarrassed and ashamed to even admit publicly. This was not only my life savings but my time, energy, hardcore conviction and identity after 13 years in this space.

I am posting pseudonymously as I’ve always preferred to stay out of the spotlight - and privacy (inspired by Satoshi) is something I value. I debated whether or not I should say anything at all, but after much deliberation I decided it may be beneficial for other victims who are struggling.

While this incident certainly forced upon me the darkest days of my life so far - I have now accepted it and will slowly put together my life again. I came from nothing and did everything right (except rolling the damn dice apparently 😅). I stayed away from trading, exchanges, shitcoins, ICOs, NFTs, false prophets, etc and quietly and consistently built up over the years through all the ups and downs - never spending frivolously on material goods but instead using bitcoin as my sense of freedom and security - with the hopes to pass it on to my future children.

Even though that peace, freedom and security is now gone - I am beyond grateful for the journey and life that bitcoin enabled me to have.

To all the other victims, as cliche as it is to say “it’s only money” - true wealth, as I’ve learned over and over again is in health, family, and friendships. I’d be lying if I told you I’m not afraid of the uncertainty ahead, but I know by taking one step at a time it will be possible to rebuild. Trust me if I can come to these realizations, you can too! The hardest challenges in life make us stronger and turn us into the best versions of ourselves - don’t give in to the hopelessness. By being in this community you are apart of something special that the majority of the world still hasn’t realized yet. It’s still early!

Thanks to all the wonderful people in the community I’ve been DMing over the past week - your kind words of support mean the world to me and helped me start to believe in myself again.

To the hacker: you still can do the right thing here and come clean - you have prompted a serious wake-up call that has brought the community together which will bring more resilience for the future. Doing the noble thing now will prevent a lifelong hunt.

To all the amazing bitcoiners who have jumped to action from the very beginning to support each other and mitigate further damage - it’s been a beautiful thing to watch.

To the @blocks team and especially @intangiblecoins, your efforts are inspiring and provide me with hope. Believe me when I say that IF I ever get my coins back you will all be taken care of very well, along with massive donations to the open source community.

For now I will withhold any judgement towards @nvk and the @Coinkite team - while I’m still processing this loss and dealing with the gravity of building my life up from the ruins - I have 0 anger or resentment. Bitcoin security is a tough job, mistakes are made, and lessons are learned by all. I made mistakes by trusting and not verifying as well as not having a more robust security solution so the responsibility must be shared, hindsight is 20/20 and even though it’s tough: I’m okay admitting that. Bitcoin humbles all.

Having said all that… I’M NOT FUCKING LEAVING!!! I will start building a new stack from the ground up like all the other plebs as my conviction in Bitcoin is even stronger today then when I got my first coins in 2013.

This was never about the money - it was always about the revolution, and that can’t be stopped. We will win.

Let’s keep our heads high.
The march continues.
It’s time to rebuild.

PS: Thanks for everything Satoshi ❤️

-M

Larry Fink likes Bitcoin. Donald Trump likes Bitcoin. Kevin Warsh likes Bitcoin. Scott Bessent likes Bitcoin. Stan Druckenmiller likes Bitcoin. Paul Tudor Jones likes Bitcoin. Elon Musk likes Bitcoin. And you and your uncle Joe think you're smart for not liking it? Get real.
