This is going to be a great event and I’m very sad I can’t make it.

It's going to be awesome! Can't wait to work with Charné

[C4 @LearnMoreWithC4]

We’re excited to welcome Charné Van Heerden as a member of the CCSS Steering Committee. Charné is Head of Audit at Provenance, a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and a CCSS Auditor and advocate. We appreciate her expertise and her ongoing commitment to growing the CCSS!

When key material is generated without enough entropy, every control that comes after it is already compromised. 🤯

In all seriousness, if you're going to be at Bitcoin Amsterdam and want to talk key management, blockchain security, the CryptoCurrency Security Standard #CCSS, CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (@LearnMoreWithC4 ), brewing beer, or pretty much anything else, hit me up!

[Dirk Anderson @SDirkAnderson]

I was passing through Schiphol airport and based on the advertising I'm inclined to think there might be some sort of Crypto thing going on here in Amsterdam. 😆

[Dirk Anderson @SDirkAnderson]

Super excited to participating in November’s Blockchain Scotland meeting! Going to be a great event.

Great talk last night at @SpaceDenver on the threat of quantum computing to crypto and steps being proposed to address it. Glad folks like @cryptoquick and @lopp are spending time thinking about it.

[Dirk Anderson @SDirkAnderson]

Working in a decentralized industry (and world) it's always a good time to catch up IRL with the *really* smart folks out there. Beard or no beard. But also Jameson is the OG.

[C4 @LearnMoreWithC4]

Do you need a beard to be a security expert? Nope. But our CCSS Committee has some impressive ones.

Two of our committee members, @lopp & @SDirkAnderson, caught up last. Brilliant minds, strong collaboration, great beards.

The White House crypto summit doesn't seem to be helping the price of bitcoin. Pretty sure it's because I wasn't invited. 😜

🚨 ByBit’s Security Checklist:

✅ Penetration Testing
✅ ISO 27001 Certification
❌ NO CCSS Certification
✅ Bug Bounty Program
✅ Proof of Reserves

One of these is not like the others… and it matters.

Remember this is an open standard and #C4 is not for profit. This isn't a sale's pitch, we're just folks who are passionate about our industry and want to help it grow securely.

[Dirk Anderson @SDirkAnderson]

I've been writing a lot about the new version of the #CCSS lately, which can feel a little one-sided. If you're going to be around for #ETHDenver, look for the bearded guy in the C4/CCSS shirt and let's have a chat.
