So weird to see so many blaming the CC and looking for a new device where they'll just practice the same poor security hygiene. My advice to one panicked soul: Don't waste money on a new device. There's nothing wrong with using whatever CC model as a signer The issue was in trusting the RNG to create the seed. Move your coins to a Sparrow wallet(s). Create first. Test receive. Delete. Recover. Test send back. Full move. Wipe CC. Update with new firmware. Roll dice (don't trust RNGs anywhere on any device). Add 6-8 word passphrase. Import seed. Test receieve. Delete. Recover. Test send. Move back. Use the CC as the air gapped signing device it was meant to be. Takes about 2hrs depending on the mempool and you can be rolling dice while waiting for test sends/receives. Bonus: you get to practice UTXO hygiene at the same time! (Which you've probably been ignoring for too long).

@Rob Warren posted up on X that he had created a site for the panicking plebs: ismyseedsafe.com Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, it's completely safe to visit. I tested it. It's so very, very, very much designed for people on X and you'll get a good laugh (or at least a smirk) out of it. No, it's not a Rickroll but somewhat along those lines.

Kinda surprised to see the mempool not going harder. Yeah, fees have 4x-5x from 1sat/ to 5 sat/ but still... Either a lot are still unaware or despite the chatter the affected holders are smaller in number. I wonder how many Mk3 (and 4, 5, Q) are in the wild and how many wallets they generated keys for.

Drove past Tysons Corners yesterday. One has to wonder, how many offices do you really need? The whole operation could be run on a laptop and a webcam. Oh, the software side? Sell it. Hasn't Saylor said "there is no second best" and wondered what he would instead invest Bitcoin profits in? Yeah... I never bought his shtick but I admired his hustle.

Fuck that fat fuck!

I feel like crap... And a car passed me with a kid about 9 years old sitting unbuckled, backwards... She, yes, she looks at me and does the airhorn arm pump with a smile. But I feel like crap from whatever stomach issue and poor sleep. I'm too slow to blow my horn. I watch them drive away, little pre-pubesent hand out the window now giving me the finger.

No matter what kind of day you're having (this is day 2 of some mild food poisoning and "mild" still sucks)... Remember this happened:

If anyone asks you if what you said was a lie, and you make these faces while that's being asked... You definitely lied. (Taken from Carney's bullshit conference today)

Being an adult means having a beer full of fridge on a Monday night.

I saw a peak of blue sky through the smoke for the first time in days! Mind you, I'm just West of Dayton... And heading north later.

This wildfire smoke is nuts! Visibility less than 1mile. View from top of Blue Water Bridge Sarnia/Port Huron:

Ok... Had to go back because it's HOT and milkshakes can be for breakfast. Also picked up some wagyu tallow.
