My deepest condolences to those who've been robbed already. I am not free of the guilt of having spoken of Coldcard as about the most-respected hardware wallet - without having MYSELF …

Either way, if the non-firmware-updated Coldcard is all you've got, better FIRST just move …

[2 of _] …great. Just think what physical volume even 6 pcs of AAA 1.5V batts is, compared to that small brick-like 9V batt.

Regarding serious problems (including BRICKING the device!) if powering Coldcard Hardware wallets w/ external 9V battery or USB charger.

💖 I'm sponsoring Vayun-Mathur because…open-source is one of our only hopes to regain any of our lost privacy and self-sovereignty -- & Vayun has fairly recently built a number of interesting projects (eg; camera, PDF reader, photos - among maybe more than a dozen others.

@JoeNakamoto 4 Our ACTUAL opponents are always ready to take advantage of any missteps we make. Our self-sovereignty and privacy depend significantly on our behaving like the mature, thoughtful adults that we are, and must be! Thanks 2 ALL you MATURE, non 'side-tracking' debate participants!

[SoundMoney=Prosperity4ALL @SoundmoneyP]

@JoeNakamoto 3 Come on people, let's permanently renounce those juvenile ways. Our debates SHOULD be spirited, even passionate -but always RESPECTFUL of our counterparties; always w/o resorting to 'red-herring', 'straw-man', or other obfuscatory/ diversionary tactics - ESPECIALLY ad hominems!

[SoundMoney=Prosperity4ALL @SoundmoneyP]

@JoeNakamoto 2 Ad hominem attacks & gutter language are completely out of place. They seriously impair OUTSIDERS' considered assessment of our project leadership's maturity. Diversionary, irrelevant arguments against our counterparties causes a similar impairment of outsiders' regard for us.

[SoundMoney=Prosperity4ALL @SoundmoneyP]

@JoeNakamoto 1 We face tremendous threats to Bitcoin's crucial cypherpunk properties, from untold 'shadowy super-authoritarians'. It does our cause NO good whatever, to attack each other in the farcically juvenile ways that far too many of us have been engaging in. PLEASE STOP IT ALREADY!!!

3] BTC's price rising doesn't impoverish ppl who hold little/none @ any time. It’s MONETARY INFLATION (caused by the VERY entity that wrote this drivel) that DIRECTLY STEALS MORE of their SCARCE TIME&EFFORT (both physical &Mental) of the lives of ppl w/ less BTC than ppl w/ more!

@TurrDemeester
outline 4 just a few initial rebuttals to ECB's max-intensity "Distribut'l Conseqs of Bitcoin" propaganda 'paper':
1] BTC's use as MoE is STYMIED by GOVTS' a] Cap"gains" taxation; b] all-out impeding/ blocking/ denial to operate Fiat-BTC on- & off-ramps; c] __

[SoundMoney=Prosperity4ALL @SoundmoneyP]

2] BTC ABSOLUTELY INCREASES economy's productivity (not just 'potentially' increases it !). By allowing entrepreneurs to BUILD CAPITAL, free of the immensely pernicious, utterly deceptive hidden tax of FIAT INFLATION! Not2mention huge coordinat'n bene of HONEST price signals.
