@Bnonym @SpecterDIY @KeystoneWallet I'll share a video and some demo repos in the next day or two :)

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@SpecterDIY on @KeystoneWallet Forgebox as a fun proof of concept :)

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@magcitrate @KimchiHodl @WatcherGuru @nvk Nar, that's just coinkite marketing. This argument may make sense of it weren't for the fact that basically every other device would survive a RNG peripheral failure gracefully. (Trezor has done this since 2013)

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@KimchiHodl @magcitrate @WatcherGuru @nvk It's literally the first thing they fixed in their new firmware releases...

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@KimchiHodl @magcitrate @WatcherGuru @nvk No it wasn't, that's the point. It ignored basic entropy source mixing and this is why the *identical* integration bug in Trezor, Bitbox02, Jade or Passport wouldn't have resulted in most funds at all.

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@KimchiHodl @magcitrate @WatcherGuru @nvk There is such a thing as a dangerously bad design and that was coldcard.

Saying "dice only" misses this entirely.

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@magcitrate @WatcherGuru @nvk Well designed seed generation and limitations for general purpose MCUs aren't related. (And the limitations of the latter were well known from launch with Trezor, but it was deemed a worth while tradeoff to stay open source)

Coldcard was poor design pure and simple.

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@magcitrate @WatcherGuru @nvk Bugs are inevitable, but the whole idea of good design is that a single bug isn't fatal. (This is standard in the electrical engineering world where physical failures are inevitable, but systems need to be designed to fail safely.)

@1440000bytes Use luckfox pico, they plentiful and 64mb ram is plenty

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@magcitrate @WatcherGuru @nvk The issue here is that saying "everything has issues" just ignored that some designs are better than others. The coldcard design was inherently weak in that the identical bug on Trezor, Bitbox02, Jade or Passport would not be e resulted in loss of funds. (Due to better design)

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@alpacasw @Pledditor It was just a crap design in the first place, as the identical failure on a 2013 Trezor One, Bitbox02, Jade or even Passport would have been survivable with no loss of funds.

Testing on its own doesn't fix bad design decisions.

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@GregTonoski @LukeDashjr It was there but wasn't being used. There was zero mixing of entropy from multiple sources that were all available.

It was just a crap design, the identical failure mode on Trezor One (from 2013), Jade, Bitbox02 or Passport (who fixed this after forking) would all been fine.

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@raw_avocado He has always been very good at marketing on socials and this is part of it. The "it's still the best and now better reviewed" talking points still start to reappear via influences shortly. Nothing has changed at all...

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@ozsats256 Hubris is more than half of the problem, it's why nothing has changed and why nothing from the company should be trusted.

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@notgrubles They are basically just staying "you should have known coldcard was crap and avoided it"

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@notgrubles It's actually worse than that, it was just a crap design in that the identical failure on either Trezor from 2013, Jade or Bitbox02 would have been totally survivable with no loss of funds. (As they mixed multiple entropy sources)

Foundation improved the code did this too...

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@FractalEncrypt @arh9992 @SeedSigner @SpecterDIY @DIYbitcoin @sesi_the_man Yea it's just a modified version of the plus hat, so same screen and layout. The pico also supports secure boot, so that's a bonus too. (And I'll start distributing releases for this in the future)

[Crypto-Guide @YTCryptoGuide]

@FractalEncrypt @arh9992 @SeedSigner @SpecterDIY @DIYbitcoin @sesi_the_man The one with the microSD on the front is running a luckfox pico mini Linux board, as they are still widely available right. now, unlike the raspberry pi :) zero

[Bitcoin Brabant @BitcoinBrabant]

During @bitcoinconfams people were buying bad RNG @COLDCARDwallet. Yes we still have a lot in stock. We sold out of @SeedSigner though.
A lot of the things listed below are functionalities that @satochip seedkeeper resolves.
Descriptors and seeds in QR are a bad idea.
