Hot take: purpose built bitcoin signers are a bigger security risk and less verifiable than a software wallet on a dedicated machine holding keys.

Any updates on this? Malicious hardware / firmware?

I told my Columbian girlfriend that pot roast is soup and now she is totally happy to eat it for breakfast with me 😂
Mt dew was the real gateway drug for my generation 😂
Ruthless. A dedicated offline computer, dice rolls and a beast passphrase is bare minimum. Stay frosty and god speed to everyone playing with their bitcoins.

It takes about $50,000 to live at a reasonable standard for a year in most places in the U.S.
Compound that $50k by 10% annually and in 20 years it’ll cost ≈$336,376.00 to live at the same standard in America.
Normal people hear this and think it’s a ridiculous fantasy. But travel the world and you already see 100,000 peso bills worth less than a $100 usd.
It is inevitable imo and I think 10% compound inflation in the U.S. is a conservative estimate going forward.
While most “adults” are distracted by whatever fraudulent moron is “president”, everyone’s wealth continues to be drained by accelerating inflation and ballooning commie taxes imposed by insolvent “governments”.
Bitcoin isn’t perfect but it’s the best chance we have to not participate in all the insanity that envelopes us. At least we got that goin for us…
Thank you for your attention on this matter
Serious questions: does anyone have an evidence based idea on how Satoshi generated entropy / keys? Is it known if he used a passphrase?
He didn’t use a hardware signer. It seems likely he used a computer that had been online or continued to be connected to the internet to generate randomness.
The offline only private key mantra feels like it’s potentially a psyop. It’s impossible for regular people to know exactly what components purpose-built hardware signers use. I’m scared of them.
Bic lighters are an s-tier product. They work flawlessly, are extremely durable and last a long time. I wash and dry them all the time and they work perfectly after that considerable trauma.
The company knows the lighter is perfect and never changes their product which is so underrated. Really wish more companies would behave like that. Cars and software come to mind. Once it’s optimized just leave it the fuck alone…
