Years to build trust, one second after a hack to lose all trust

If it wasn't so fuck dumb, it wouldn't be so absurdly funny 🤣😂

So, will there be a Coinkite Black Friday Sale this Christmas? Too soon?!? 😬

Because, the initial CC setup was fundamentally flawed, all the security rituals you preformed after were meaningless

Everyone was worried about Satoshi's coin being vulnerable Little did we know Coldcard users were the most vulnerable

People use the auto generate seed option on their Signing Devices because they didn't have very much bitcoin to secure. It wasn't worth a whole lot at the time, over time they kept adding and it worked without any issue So, they thought they were safe No Fucking Mercy

I was privileged enough to have seedsiger as a regular member at the local meetup So, I got to see first hand, the quality of his charter and the device kieth and him built Looking back now: I had an amazing education in Bitcoin Sovereignty

All you need to do is buy another $200 - $1000 Bitcoin Cold Storage Device(s) 🤣😂 Then you'll be safe, Bro

The people that kept reminding us to stay humble, didn't stay humble I expect nothing less

Bitcoin gallows humor Humorous treatment of a grave or dire situation.

Coldcard is officially going into my useless bitcoin device junk drawer

Coldcard is officially rebranding to Cucked-card

IDK about you, but I'm still stacking #bitcoin

from CoinKite X Account To all Coinkite users and the entire Bitcoin community, To all Coinkite users and the entire Bitcoin community, I'm sorry and I'm devastated. Our team is heartbroken about yesterday's news. As a team that has dedicated our lives to securing the Bitcoin held by millions of individuals, businesses, and families, this is our core responsibility, and we fell short. If you know anyone who owns a Coldcard, please make sure they see this. Some affected users may not be watching social media right now, and every hour matters. We do not store customer information, and would appreciate all assistance in reaching affected users. If you generated a seed using a Coldcard wallet, move your funds now, using our updated best practices, before reading further. We take full accountability for the firmware bug and we offer our sincere apologies to those affected. We continue to work 24/7 to understand and fully scope the extent of the issue. What we're doing today: We've shipped a firmware hotfix that removes the software fallback path entirely. This protects new seeds going forward. It does not fix seeds that were already generated on vulnerable firmware. If your seed was generated before the fix, it needs to be individually migrated to a new seed. A firmware update alone cannot do that for you. We will publish a full technical writeup of how the bug entered the codebase and why our own review process didn't catch it once we've verified every detail. We would rather be accurate than fast on the technical postmortem, even though we know people want answers now. We will publish updates at

as we learn more. We do not have full attribution or scope of the issue yet, and we won't speculate until our full technical evaluation is complete. We are committed to working with affected users who want to pursue a police report, insurance claim, or their own investigation. We will provide a written incident summary specific to your loss and any transaction data we can share. We are cooperating fully with the on-chain investigators and any law enforcement agency that opens a case. We know an apology doesn't return anyone's funds. We know we'll have to earn back our users' trust. That starts with being open and telling the truth about how this happened. To every other developer: we believe this is a sober reality of the new AI paradigm. AI-assisted code review can now find latent bugs at a speed that is outpacing even the industry’s most seasoned experts. If your firmware is open-source or has ever been public, assume it's already being read by attackers and defenders alike. We started Coinkite because we believed in Bitcoin and in people's right to hold their own keys. We remain committed to doing everything going forward in the best interest of the Bitcoin project, the industry, and our users. nvk, coinkite

Betrayal is a Motherfucker People have their motives, and they're not always good View quoted note →

I'm just gonna say it It's not out of the realm of possibility that NVK secretly rugged the bitcoin out of users wallets The code could have been purposely obfuscated Get the bitcoin by any means necessary
