The Coldcard drain just proved it again.
If a device holds your private keys forever, it becomes a permanent target. Forever.
Firmware bugs. Supply-chain attacks. Physical extraction. Side-channels. Future zero-days. Once the keys live on the device, the attack surface never disappears.
KŌINIkeystick does the opposite:
Boot.
Generate.
Write to paper.
Power off.
The keys exist for minutes. Then they’re gone. No seed stored on the device. No firmware left running that can fail or be exploited later.
Pure air-gapped addresses.
True cold.
Nothing left to drain.
This is currently the safest way to generate keys.

@NatSparbeck Our offensive coordinator sucked last year…if this guys good he’ll be able to work around it. Won’t be perfect but should be way better than last year.
@QuintenFrancois Gotta buy crypto in a bear market. Just like stocks or anything else. Otherwise just add over several years and you’ll see a big difference.
