3rd party reports are just surrogate social proof that quickly become cronyism
Better to sponsor #AI pentest events and fund security researchers using publically marketed security grants.
Pay for pentesting, then promote it. Big rewards for findings.
Put money where mouth is.
The quality of the internal RNG was fine but it was bypassed. It wasn't used in the ColdCard's case.
A quality strong keys are the end result that needs to be proven.
