It's a big club and you aint in it. Now give us your sats and say thank you. The OpenSats country club needs you to believe theyre a "democratic org" with "no dictator" after they let NVK sit there and ABUSE devs that MIGHT interfere with his business interests. For damn near a decade. With Odell parroting this same hollow line that "there are 9 board members = fair and democratic". Two aggressive businessmen surrounded themselves with nerds and women. As if those with no dog in the fight would say no when those two decided to steer money to friends and away from threats to their business interests. Total sham. Odell is still on the board. The people that watched and enabled NVK's bully behavior and nepotism are still there. And they want you to believe theyre completely transformed and democratic. It is a lie. Do not give a sat until Odell steps down and theres major reform. View quoted note →

CoinKite most likely authored the entropy weakness on purpose ( in my opinion). Their CTO introduced the buggy library under a pseudonym, had open LARP discussions with it on twitter/GH. The only problem: he forgot to change his GPG key and we have the smoking gun. The company joked publicly about the Retirement Attack/Entropy weakening "bug". Let's also keep in mind: NVGay was empowered and enabled for 8+ years by the likes of OpenSats grifters, TFTC VC shills and the "people" pushing the "Red Team" effort. Rodolfo was heavily involved with many Ten31 investments and rumor has it he invested in AnchorWatch (best buds with Rob Hamilton). Many of those guys have direct business ties with him such as investing in one another's companies, cross promoting and other general purpose circle jerk activity. Other skeptics and I have been screaming about this obvious corruption in bitcoin influencer circles and attacked personally. We are vindicated as a group. NVGay openly attacked, belittled and targeted competitors and security researchers trying to help. And in my opinion, the entropy weakening is an inside job (see retirement attack comment). The sad thing is that CK will most likely go bankrupt and NVGay will slink away with probably hundreds if not thousands of bitcoin while the hardcore average joe plebs that trusted him I'd take it a step further: it looks like a classic intel operation. Divide and conquer. Demoralize, steal from and lie to the movement. Run away in the middle of the night with the money. I think the only thing they didn't count on was chinese AI making it so an 80IQ kid in college could clumsily discover and try to steal funds. #nvk #coldcard #coinkite

It's wild how fast the "Red Team" and other distractions just white wash the whole Cold Card fiasco. People should genuinely go to prison if not have their assets stripped. Note that most of the guys involved with promoting funding and running the Red Team were best buddies with NVGay and enabled his behavior for damn near a decade. But the Orange Z List Celebrities will keep on white washing and the sad thing is most of yall are pussy ass bootlickers and will let it happen. #coldcard #nvk #redteam

Step 1: Invest in HWW manufacturer Step 2: Take them on as a sponsor Step 3: They alienate and stiff security researchers Step 4: People lose their life savings due to security incompetence Step 5: "THIS COULDA HAPPENED TO ANYONE DANG IT THESE LLMS ARE SO GOOD. ANYWAY USE THE CODE STAYHUMBLE FOR 69% OFF [PRODUCT I'M SHILLING]"

It's funny to watch @npub1qny3...95gx and the like backpedal on Muh Nostr Only. It's even funnier to watch the lemmings follow suit both directions. Odell had an obvious financial interest in driving traffic to Nostr via his Ten31 investments but cloaked it in virtue signaling about Muh Freedom and convinced a lot of people to follow suit. He probably set back bitcoin evangelization significantly by doing so. It was always retarded. When has leaving the conversation ever converted more people? Bitcoiners need to wake the fuck up and stop living in a fantasy land. This is a fight for our lives against fiat. Stop thinking because influencers like Odell orange wash the narrative that they're benevolent. Always question everything.

@npub1tr4d...2y5g much love and respect and congratulations on the Radar release. Truly remarkable. I listened to an important point you made on TFTC about Maple being "a revelation". I'm not sure if you've done a deep dive but it looks like all they're doing is wrapping another service called and charging a huge margin on top. Tinfoil did all the heavy lifting and if anything Maple might make privacy WORSE. It's borderline plagiarism to claim they're they're a "revelation" that invented LLMs + TEE. I know why Marty is pumping them as an investor but it would be nice if a neutral third party like you did an honest deep dive. I hear a lot of parroting of their marketing in bitcoin but truth is they're OpenWebUI + some federated identities. Decent work. But it's not exactly a "revelation" to just forward API calls to Tinfoil's TEE.

Oh look the nym that is retired and hiding out of fear says im a coward if i dont leave myself vulnerable to VC podcasters retaliating against me. Hey Laser why didnt you take your beef directly to me privately instead of cry fighting on nostr? You are totally killing the wholesome vibe bro! View quoted note →

Insane to me that bitcoin influencers would rather lose all credibility than disown shitcoining from Shitcoin Mag or Tether
