There were known cognitive biases at play here, all throughout the Bitcoin space. Everyone in their inner heart (yes Shogun reference) wants to paint themselves as the intelligent know-it-all, but it's necessary—and actually perfectly okay—to recognize that you, me, the other normies in these comments and across Nostr, are all inclined to be retarded. 1. Red flags have to be 'flagged' 🚩when they happen in advance, not remembered after the fact like "Ah I felt there was something off about that." 2. We can't afford a cool kids table that's above criticism. Fiat sponsorships can distort incentives. 3. We need to troll each other more and give each other a little more shit—not because we're assholes, but because we're probing for weakness and we care. 4. Influencers need qualifications. I don't necessarily mean academic, but mother fucker, if you're talking authoritatively about seed generation I want to know what you know about cryptography, right? 5. It's useless for someone to beat themselves up (too much) because "I recommended a Coldcard 😔." It did good things (integrating physical entropy into its seed generation is legitimately good) that can be used again in the future. Nobody knew about the PRNG bug. 6. This 👆is what needs to be focused on more. The PRNG bug is not some hyper obscure bug only Skynet could have found, and people have been complaining online about Coldcard sweeps for years without garnering attention because it was assumed they were just stupid. It only got attention because someone Pearl Harbored everyone with a Coldcard at once. 7. Sure as sally, all of these problems are still affecting the network. We have to take stock and think about what we're doing, right now, that we don't recognize that we're doing, that can lead to yet another avoidable disaster. It sure as shit is not arguing on Twitter about muh quantum.
