I think everyone is missing the economics of this attack. The attacker isn’t trying to brute-force your passphrase. They’re generating vulnerable seeds as fast as possible and checking whether those seeds control any bitcoin. The moment you add a BIP...

Can we all finally come to a consensus that leaving your coin on an exchange or buying ETFs may not be a bad idea for like 90% of bitcoin holders? For years i was mocked for leaving my coins on an exchange, yet I haven't had issues with stolen or...

I believed in Bitcoin. Holding it gave me peace of mind because my country has faced several FATF sanctions. I was glad to find a kind of money that cannot be censored or debased because I just want to protect myself from the money printing and my co...

Let’s face it, bitcoin would never have the adoption we are speaking of as long as stuff like this keep happening(coldcard hack). How will ever a standard person own bitcoin if even the pro’s get hacked. People that know everything about bitcoin self...

The victims could've followed all the general rules in self custody (generating a fresh address, keeping seed phrase secure, buying hardware wallets only from reputable sources), and yet they were still exploited. Not your keys, not your coins, u...

Seriously, how many people are going to now start using multi-sig on 3 different devices of 3 different makes and then roll dice hundreds of times for all the the seed phrases? And then what, stamp them all on metal and store in a vault? Please. ETFs...

People are losing their minds over this Coldcard situation. The reality is that very few people truly understand how their crypto is kept safe and secure. Most have simply placed blind trust in a third party to generate a set of words for them and as...

Any idea if there’s an organized central place to upload documentation of wallet / transaction id’s in the off-chance that the stolen BTC surfaces on a regulated exchange? Had all my BTC on 3 devices. All MK3’s. All got drained over 8 minutes on July...
