Bcuz its a brainwallet made ahead of time, with bearer pk I don't require internet to broadcast this transaction at the time i'm sending

They could easily do this, they already extracted the value from the suckers.

The honorable thing would be to reboot zcash.

No dev tax
No pre mine.
No infinite money printer glitch present for years.
Rearchitect shielded pools.

It wouldn’t be better than bitcoin, but at least it’d have more dignity than whatever is happening right now.

making for ourselves...

but would you buy a network device to store secrets/passwords/keys/ssh/etc?

...and this box is vey-very secure
...also mesh back up with other boxes you have
...also works with a few password managers as password server
...& more

i don’t like the attempt from some insiders to paint the zcash bug disclosure as “heroic”

it’s not heroic. it’s a systemic problem

yes they paid a smart researcher to find bugs and he did. that’s great

but the issue isn’t that the bug existed

the issue is that zcash, unlike almost any other cryptocurrency, enables a unique class of bugs, where if they’re exploited no one would know

this unique class still exists. the fact that they fixed this specific bug is immaterial. mythos could find 8 others. and then mythos 2

bugs can exist in all cryptocurrencies. they can exist in btc or eth or sol. but if someone exploits them we will IMMEDIATELY KNOW and limit the damage

with zcash, when someone secretly finds a bug and exploits it, WE WILL NOT KNOW

imagine if the kelpdao hack was exploited but it somehow magically wasn’t visible onchain. the attacker stole 300m but no one would know. and aave and other apps would assume everything is fine not knowing that they secretly have a hole in the balance sheet. how much wider would the damage have spread by the time we found out?

this is the real issue. not a specific bug. the systemic vulnerability: if a hack happens, we won’t know until much later

and a lot of zcashers have been trying to downplay the severity of this fundamental issue for years (including yesterday when this was first disclosed but played down)

regardless of this specific bug, i don’t think zcash is a safe place to store meaningful wealth long-term, until the design fundamentally changes

i wish zcashers were more open about that. that would’ve been heroic

@ozsats256 its like saying you should build your own kit-airplane for air travel. can you yes. should you put your family in it?

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 yes, you are handling pk material with non purpose device.

@KevinR4v would have to investigate, but coldcard/ck-bunker like thing possible.

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 that false equivalence is the problem, RPI is just a computer. like any other, so similar safety assumptions apply. using tails is probably safer than ss.

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 thats not how its marketed and sold, this comes from someone that was a huge fan of that project when it came out. even with the founder spreading SE fud.

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 yes, insanely important capability. ultra dangerous for everyday use. should not be compared and conflated with purposely made hardware done by ppl who know what they are doing.

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 operational security is as important storage security.

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 so every time you use the RPI you handle the PK unencrypted? And you store in in plain text?

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

right now there is an infinite amount of ai agents looking for some vision and direction.

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@ozsats256 where do you put the pks?

[nvk 🌞 @nvk]

@EarthPassenger0 pierre needs to come out as a tax slasher so that we can bring back the productive ppl

Cut taxes and cut government or this wont change.

Bitcoin is this generation's asset to protect themselves against undisciplined government spending.

That doesn't mean it will be 100% of people's portfolio.

Good capital allocators will own AI stocks, bitcoin, private startups & other assets.
