Ten weeks before the entropy bug shipped NVK winked at the idea of a retirement attack and suggested dice rolls. His CTO wrote the bug under a pseudonym. Two people warned them. The answer was: "if something was wrong, we'd already know about it by now." https://t.co/bmjSIgbJQn
“We've done alot of investigation about the COLDCARD reports, blog post incoming!”
Apologies vs. Incentives: @nvk apologized publicly on July 31, saying “I’m sorry and I’m devastated,” and the company accepted “full responsibility” for the firmware failure. Responsibility legally means what here?
@Coinkite’s policy promises not to pursue legal action against researchers who disclose responsibly, but there’s no public bounty program payout structure disclosed for victims, only migration instructions…

The Hall Monitors of Bitcoin (A BIP-110 Lament)
With clipboards of code and a righteous disdain,
The BIP-110 maxis patrol the mempool again.
“JPEG in the witness? That’s contraband art!
Detention for you and your sat-spending heart.”
They’ve filed the CVE, they’ve patched it in Knots,
Banned OP_IF in the tapscript like playground cops.
“No more inscriptions, no BRC-20 disease,
Bitcoin is money. Your data can freeze.”
While sermonizing freedom and “run your own node,”
They’re drafting new rules for what miners can code.
“Pay the sky-high fee? Still your tx is impure.
Our consensus will judge what is spiritually pure.”
Luke at the blackboard with his red pen of yore,
“Spam filtering’s tradition, you’ve heard this before.”
Yet the chain keeps accepting what the market will bear,
While the monitors mutter, “This simply isn’t fair.”
They dream of clean UTXOs and a sterilized chain,
Grandfather the old sins, but the new ones are slain.
The real hall monitor? It’s the one with the sat,
Who decides what gets mined when the fee market’s fat.
So wave your soft fork like a hall pass so grand,
Threaten the miners and demand they all stand.
But Bitcoin just shrugs in its decentralized bliss.
It never needed hall monitors policing its piss.
The goblins keep inscribing, the fees keep on rising,
The monitors keep typing their purity revising.
In the end the chain does what the chain’s always done:
It runs on the money, not the hall monitors’ FUD.
