Bitcoin singing devices must check the firmware signature at boot.
Not enough users check every download, NO user will check it before every boot.
This is a security anti-pattern, a terrible UX regression.

What are you talking about?
Great feature on coldcard, thank you.

As many as it takes ESL ppl to spell right
does coldcard check before every boot up?
Word. Sage comeback.
Keep singing and slinginβ.
You def have solid command of English via the boring nothing ever happens pod. βοΈ
I'm comfortable with validating the @npub17tyk...3mgl firmware before use, then loading that into the device memory. I also like to keep the validated OS version on a read-only CD backup.
Yes.
Good luck, and I hope all other users too.
Yeah, a firmware on βaβ raspberryPi can be validated, as @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM π said. Good luck
Do you mean "can't be validated"? Right? Just making sure.
How is trusting the signer of the code repo any different from trusting the author of the validation checker?
Aha, so you're saying the next coldcard will be dual use for karaoke! Excellent.
