Coinkite really seems to be the FTX if this cycle. If these rumors flying around really do add up, its premeditated conspiracy to backdoor their product, let people generate seeds on it and stack for 5 years, then steal it all.
I'm going to need to see a lot more evidence to really think that's the case. But that seems to be where it's headed. And way too easily headed in that direction too. Like wow, it's like the narrative writes itself, the breadcrumbs all laid out for us to find. How convenient.

It seems very reasonable to believe that's the case even if not proved.
It’s like when a woman turns up murdered the cops always look at the husband because it’s usually the husband

Imagine actually doing that and then never feeling safe for yourself and family every again. Guaranteed there'd be someone out there that would stop at nothing to hunt you down forever.
Possibly too convenient. Not sure what I'm thinking here... Sumthin. The breadcrumbs all laid out like they are...

People very often believe they are smarter then they really are.
Also the bug was out in the open. Anybody could have found it. There is no way they would have waited so long if it was planned.
Anybody could have stolen bitcoin and destroy their company and destroy their reputation.

What a commit message tells us about the recent COLDCARD bug
Based on the repo name, I guess it is a demonstration that you can impersonate people with unsigned commits.
