🚨 MK3 & MK4 users: If you are worried your device is bricked or it’s not working properly / Please note that if you can still get past the security pin screen then the device is not bricked / if you are trapped on the security pin screen and it is unresponsive - then it is bricked and it will not work again - restore from seed asap to move funds If you CAN get to the menu screen you can try the below if the device is acting weird or buggy but still semi-functioning: Go to >advanced tools >firmware upgrade >bless firmware This has worked for several people and sometimes resolves weird issues and restored the device to working order Please note that this is NOT a software upgrade which is not recommended

After almost 48 straight exhausting hours helping members of our community in Paraguay as well as users around the world affected by this ColdCard attack I have learned that both MK3 & MK4 (could be others) devices are bricking at high rates due to the below factors: 1. Devices using a 9V battery and connecting using ColdPower via usb cable / if the battery is low the device will brick if it’s not getting enough power, and become unusable - the battery doesn’t have to be dead, just providing less than sufficient power apparently. If using a 9V battery don’t assume it’s got enough juice if it’s old - use a fresh one 2. Devices that are plugged in with the charger connected via an international plug adapter unit are experiencing high levels of bricking due to inconsistent connection provided by the cheap adapter units 3. KNOWN and reported already is that the firmware updates are bricking devices as well This should be information we get out to as many plebs as possible. Many only have a single device to work with and these issues are making an already stressful situation a lot worse God bless everyone affected and I hope this information helps somebody to avoid these issues 🙏🏼🫡 FYI @HODL @ODELL @BTC Sessions @MartyBent

There isn’t a single bitcoiner in the entire world who didn’t learn a valuable lesson this weekend God bless 🙏🏼 praying for those affected

Slow is smooth Smooth is fast Stay calm and be methodical today gents 🙏🏼🫡
