Gray talking to himself through “switck”?</title><description><![CDATA[I’m not going to re-explain the RNG bug. That part has already been documented. What I want to know is who exactly was behind switck, and why this identity existed in the first place. Someone checked the actual Git signatures in the switck/libngu repository. They found 58 commits authored as “Switck” signed with Peter D. Gray’s personal GPG key. The same key also signed commits under Peter’s real name, with both identities being used during overlapping periods. Unless Peter shared or lost control of his private signing key, the obvious conclusion is that GitHub switck was Peter Gray operating under another name. Now look at the social-media side. In 2019, u/switck posted: “#defcon seems like a good time to start a new identity. Follow me!” That tweet is real and still online. Later, the account promoted switck/libngu, thanked u/DocHex for a merge and said the library might someday be useful on Coldcard. So the account that announced it was starting a “new identity” was apparently Peter’s alias, publicly speaking to Peter’s main identity as though they were two different developers. The same thing appears on GitHub. doc-hex opened issues in the switck/libngu repository. In one pull request, doc-hex added four commits, then switck merged them. GitHub lists no reviews. And this wasn’t some unrelated side project. switck/libngu became part of Coldcard. The switck account introduced a critical piece of the vulnerable RNG path, and doc-hex later integrated libNgU into the Coldcard firmware. Coinkite itself confirms that this migration moved wallet-seed generation onto the wrong RNG implementation. None of this proves Peter intentionally created the vulnerability, knew it could be exploited or had anything to do with the thefts. But it is still extremely fucking weird. Why was a security-critical Coldcard library hosted under a pseudonymous personal account instead of Coinkite or Coldcard? Did Coinkite know that switck and doc-hex were apparently the same person? Why create the public appearance of two developers interacting, submitting code and merging each other’s work? Who independently reviewed the library and the Coldcard integration if the library author and the person integrating it were apparently using the same private signing key? And why has Coinkite explained the technical bug without addressing who controlled the switck identity? Peter, if you read this: was switck you? If it wasn’t, why were dozens of Switck commits signed with your personal GPG key? If it was, why did you publicly talk to that account as though it belonged to someone else? Did NVK and the rest of Coinkite know? Who was actually reviewing your work? There may be an innocent explanation. But after this code path left customer wallets vulnerable and people lost bitcoin, hiding behind silence is not an explanation. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/inner_engineering08 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-weirdest-part-of-the-coldcard-mess-was-peter-d-gray-talking-to-himself-through-switck</link><guid>878554</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The weirdest part of the Coldcard mess: was Peter D.

Absolutely brutal. Making this post because if you got caught in it (or any hack or theft really), there&#39;s a tax angle most people don&#39;t think about while they&#39;re still in the gut-punch phase. Won&#39;t bring the coins back, but it&#39;s still worth knowing. The basic rule: the ATO lets you claim a capital loss on crypto that&#39;s actually gone, if you can prove you owned it and it&#39;s irrecoverable. That offsets your capital gains, and anything left over carries forward. It won&#39;t reduce normal income, only gains. For a theft like this, evidence is everything. Acquisition records, the wallet addresses, the on-chain trail showing the funds swept out, and a police report. The stronger the paper trail, the cleaner the claim. A few things to keep in mind however: Exchange collapses (FTX, Celsius type). You can&#39;t claim the day it enters administration. It crystallises when administration finalises, based on what you actually get back. Lots of people try to claim too early. Worthless tokens you still hold. A coin down 99% but still in your wallet isn&#39;t a loss yet, paper losses don&#39;t count. If it&#39;s still tradeable, selling it even for cents locks in the loss (especially for the pumpfun users ????) And if you get any compensation later, you reduce the loss by that amount. If you got hit by the Coldcard thing, might be best to sort the new wallet and your security first, obviously. The tax bit can wait until the dust settles, just don&#39;t forget it exists because it does. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/summ_app [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/if-you-lost-crypto-to-a-hack-eg-coldcard-a-dead-wallet-or-a-collapsed-exchange-theres-a-tax-angle-worth-knowing</link><guid>878505</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>If you lost crypto to a hack (eg. coldcard), a dead wallet, or a collapsed exchange, there's a tax angle worth knowing</dc:text></item><item><title>Jesus.

I&#39;ve also been seeing some things that suggest the company was aware of this &quot;bug&quot; years ago but yet did nothing about it. It&#39;s also interesting to me that it was so heavily shilled/marketed here on reddit. With this out of the way, here&#39;s what I&#39;m seeing with this event. From what I&#39;ve seen with a recent update, there were almost 5k wallets drained with a total value over $100m. These people otherwise did everything right but because of this garbage wallet that they used they had their funds essentially vanish. There were even some with short passphrases utilizing a couple words that also were victims of this as well, so people that would have taken some extra steps to try to protect themselves. While this is incredibly unfortunate for these individuals, the panic/freakout over self custody I&#39;m seeing right now is severely overblown. People are starting to question whether single sig wallets are sufficient and if they should use a passphrase, multi sig, etc. I also can see this event being taken by the media and tradfi institutions and used as a tactic to scare people from utilizing self custody and instead moving to ETFs and other BTC/crypto products. I understand the fear and uncertainty, but there&#39;s something that many on here seem to be missing. As mentioned, this Cold Card hack drained approximately 5,000 wallets. Meanwhile, there are over 22 million BTC addresses with $100+ and 10.4 million with $1,000+. You had this garbage wallet that drained a number of addresses that is MINISCULE compared to the total number of addresses with $100+ worth of BTC in self custody. 1% of 22 million wallet with $100+ in BTC is 220k addresses, so this hack represents approximately 0.02% of these addresses, 1 out of 5000. Instead of buying from one of the top companies that have sold millions of units (Ledger, Trezor, Tangem, etc.) these people bought some basically no name wallet that ended up having major flaws related to security. A Cold Card was also $250+ from what I saw, when you could have bought a basic Ledger or Trezor model for around $60 or so. The company according to the page I linked below also has a whooping 5 employees as of June of this year lol, to put this into perspective Ledger has over 800 and Trezor with over 200. Coinkite - 2026 Company Profile, Team, Funding &amp; Competitors - Tracxn You are more likely to lose your crypto wealth/assets through user error when setting up and/or losing your seeds. If you are concerned about security, consider adding a strong passphrase to your primary seeds. IF something like this had happened to one of the big cold wallet companies though, the ramifications for the broader crypto space would be enormous. With this said, I do NOT think that the general public will be utilizing self custody as we get into the 2030s and beyond, they&#39;ll primarily be boarded onto the crypto train through tradfi institutions. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ubermensch1001 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/what-people-are-missing-with-the-cold-card-hack-my-thoughts</link><guid>878506</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What people are missing with the Cold Card hack (my thoughts)</dc:text></item><item><title>Botflix AMA | The Future of Al Entertainment &amp; Botcoin ($BOTC) [Full Recording]</title><description><![CDATA[ Recorded my first public AMA today discussing Botflix, a 24/7 AI entertainment network, and the role of BOTC in its ecosystem.

Interviewer: &quot;...The BIsq announcement thread mentioned that it is likely an AI powered attack. So maybe people using you know is it some North Korean group using Claude or Cursor or Mythos or something.&quot; Rodolfo Novak &#39;nvk&#39;(18:53): &quot;Yeah, but that&#39;s like you know that&#39;s that&#39;s like saying that they just encounter an adversary that&#39;s a little bit better than they are. *I mean like you know the reality is people are trying to break stuff all the time and if you have like Bitcoin to be taken you know it just means that they had you know bad security.*&quot; _______ There you have it. The guy in his own words impliying Coldcard has fucking bad security. But the interesting part is this one, where he arrogantly is downplaying the bug reports an AI audit tool is throwing: Interviewer (19:08): &quot;Yeah, but I guess the point would be is there has the game changed, right? Is there a you know now this is a big new threat that people need to start thinking about which is basically AI assisted hacking?[ ...] like well there&#39;s AI assisted hacking and now we need AI assisted defense and you need to find you need you need to defend it uh and um that way&quot; Rodolfo Novak &#39;nvk&#39;(20:03): &quot;so it&#39;s already happening we we got a preview a friend got a preview of the codec cyber or whatever they call it the KYC NDA version of their uh uh security assessment tools y uh you know the first thing he did was run after run it on the code card repo [laughter] And uh you know honestly like we we saw the the bug reports they&#39;re all like you know extremely mediocre stuff. Uh everything was like high right like they they said everything is like high high so it&#39;s like super dangerous and everything was like completely false reporting. The tools are still abhorent. The quality of this this this hacking uh AI hacking is still ultra ultra crap.&quot; [ END OF TRANSCRIPT PART ] _______ Well, here is where things start to become a mess: He is confessing they have extremely dangerous findings through AI but he just arrogantly is downplaying them. But here in Jul 30 2026: https://blog.coinkite.com/entropy-technical-backgrounder/ They mention: &quot;The COLDCARD source code has always been open and publicly available, so we have to assume that someone used AI to review previous versions of our firmware and stumbled upon this issue. A few weeks ago, we used one of the best available AI models to review our code for security issues, and it did not find this bug or anything serious. Both attackers and defenders have the same AI tools, but today it did not help us, and only helped the bad guys.&quot; (No you idiot, you are confessing an AI showing you dangerous bugs and just arrogantly maybe not even analizing them carefully). Well, apparently that is not true, they ran an AI model two months ago which was alerting about &quot;high, high, extremely dangerous&quot; bugs. What were those bugs? Who knows, but they were alerts and an arrogant dev framing them as crap. The neglicence in this case is incredible and the lack of security in depth of that team just follows the logical disaster. Stay out of projects from those guys and just so you know that https://airgapcomputer.com/ (yes, guess who&#39;s the owner, yes, you nailed it, nvk, to shill his hardshit) a garbage collection FUD for people to think airgap computer is worst and that the hardware wallet is the &quot;secure way&quot;. Well, no one will say hardware wallets are bad, but it is time to make accountable hardware wallet vendors selling you unaudited shit and with no security in dept design. What is security in dept design or foolproof design? Well do not tell that rolling dice is optional but recommended, fucking do not allow the seed generation step to be completed without it. Specially if you ar going to say that AI reported bugs are crap and you have no external verified audit history of source code. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Fearless-Second-7230 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/coldcard-ceo-rodolfo-novak-confessing-2-moths-ago-in-a-podcast-regarding-ai-audit-bug-reports-everything-was-like-high-like-they-said-everything-is-like-high-high-so-its-like-super-dangerous</link><guid>878495</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Coldcard CEO Rodolfo Novak confessing 2 moths ago in a podcast regarding AI audit bug reports: "Everything was like high like they said everything is like 'high high so it's like 'super dangerous"</dc:text></item><item><title>Meme coins still worth a punt in 2026?</title><description><![CDATA[I was just wondering whether it&#39;s still worth trading, especially meme coins.

Kei is built on its own node infrastructure and is not built on top of an existing chain (i.e we are not on solana). I have been working on Kei, a infrastructure token for adding currencies and player inventories to browser MMO games with one npm package install. The coin is feeless and there isn&#39;t mining as part of its design. I am working off a fork of banano which is a fork of nano. Developers use the kei-transaction glue code to add transactions and player economies. It is made for primarily working with a 3d MMO made in babylonjs, just as a lot of the examples are in that techstack. Currently, I am looking into a fair presale. The thing is, the currency is supposed to be close to worthless, so the tokenomics are really just 10% of the total ever created Kei is all broken down into smaller bits until the public only gets 2% It is worthless by design, but also it has worth because of the tokens built on it, so I cant only just airdrop. I am honestly really torn about what the next few milestones will look like and I don&#39;t really know how I am going to sustain the project, while keeping the token basically free, and squashing speculators.

If you were around for the pre-deposit campaign you remember them: earn one, open it, get some KAT. TL;DR - you can earn additional yield in the form of gacha boxes on Katana, and it averages to an extra ~1% on stablecoins and 1.5% on KAT, just for using the same platforms most katana users already use. (This is a longer, detailed post, but you can jump to the math section if your interested in exploring how it works or just ask questions in the comments and I&#39;ll try to answer) So Krates are now part of Katana Quests. Katana quests are a gamified way to earn additional KAT (or USDC for top prizes) by actively participating in defi activities on Katana. Essentially, it&#39;s a bonus layer sitting on top of yield you&#39;re already earning. I have been posting posting about and been farming Katana for a while as I find the yields and risk/reward aspect of the opportunities on the chain to be among the best in defi. Krates just make it better. The setup: XP is earned by doing normal DeFi on Katana, staking KAT for vKAT or avKAT, supplying to vaults, borrowing on morpho, LPing via Charm, and trading. XP accrues daily per dollar deployed. Different XP for different activities. XP has two uses. In July and every month going forward, unused XP will be used in a raffle. Currently the raffle total prize pool is $15000. The other use is to redeem 350,000 XP for a Krate &amp; open it for an instant reward. Any leftover krate XP gets entered into the raffle &amp; XP resets monthly. Ok, that&#39;s the boring stuff. How does it actually look like when deploying capital, just to calculate some potential increase in returns. Personally, I only supply to vaults, borrow a little bit, and hold vKAT/avKAT. Here&#39;s the baseline math behind $1000 deployed with either USDC/USDT and avKAT. This is the baseline as you can use avKAT as collateral to borrow stables then deploy the stables to loop further, which I do, but that&#39;s for another post. This is pure krate return, so you&#39;re earning on top of the yield of the vaults. Supplying USDC on Morpho pays 3 XP per dollar per day, so $1,000 over 30 days is 90,000 XP. Holding avKAT pays 5 XP per dollar per day, so you earn 150,000 XP a month. Next, the Krate costs 350,000 XP &amp; the reward pool this epoch has these published odds: Common (69.95%): 277 avKAT and min. 85,000 XP Uncommon (25%): 369 avKAT and min. 130,000 XP Rare (5%): min. 1,107 avKAT and min. 170,000 XP Super Rare (0.05%): 45,421 avKAT or 1,000 in stablecoin Run the average avKAT across those odds: 0.6995 × 277 = 193.8 avKAT 0.25 × 369 = 92.3 avKAT 0.05 × 1,107 = 55.4 avKAT 0.0005 × 45,421 = 22.7 avKAT Total: ~364 avKAT per Krate on average. Since Krates also refund XP, you get about 100,000 back per Krate, or 28.7% of the cost. Loop that refund into more Krates &amp; your XP stretches about 1.4x, so each XP becomes roughly 0.00146 avKAT. Currently, 1 avKAT = ~1.30 KAT (though this continues to compound every 2 weeks). At KAT ~$0.0045, that&#39;s ~$0.0058 per avKAT. Now the month, per $1,000: USDC supply: 90,000 XP -&gt; ~131 avKAT -&gt; ~$0.77. On $1,000 that&#39;s about 7.7 bps a month, ~0.9% a year, from the Krate layer alone. avKAT: 150,000 XP -&gt; ~219 avKAT -&gt; ~$1.28. About 12.8 bps a month, ~1.5% a year. So basically, you&#39;re earning an extra 1% APY on your stables and 1.5% APY on your KAT for using the same protocols you already were using. Want more XP on the same capital? Hold avKAT: 31.98% APY &amp; 5 XP per dollar per day, so 5,000 XP/day on $1,000. vKAT shows 47.25% APY at the same 5 XP/$. The KAT LP pools on Charm pay the top rate, 6 XP per dollar per day. Same principle every time: pick the position for its yield, &amp; the XP tags along. What does the XP turn into? 350,000 XP redeems for one Krate. Every Krate pays out, there are no I&#39;m not the biggest trader, especially with perps, but traders can feast on this as well. Perp volume pays 1.5 XP per dollar of volume, but if you are leverage trading this creates bonus volume on the same dollar of collateral. A small stack can push a lot of volume, so your dollar goes further on XP than it does sitting in a supply position, at higher risk. If you&#39;re a trader, that&#39;s the high-octane path. Though I don&#39;t trade, I&#39;m a fan of how Katana aligns with their users. Katana owns its perp venue so the fees are Katana&#39;s revenue &amp; they route that revenue back to users as XP &amp; rewards. The more you use their perps, the more they can pay you, because they capture the value instead of leaking it to a third party. The platform earns &amp; it hands a cut back to the people generating the revenue. So do the math for your own size &amp; risk tolerance. If you&#39;re like me &amp; you&#39;d rather earn yield with less drama, sit in Morpho supply or avKAT &amp; let the XP stack on top. If you&#39;re a trader, perps stretch your dollar further on XP &amp; feed the venue that funds the whole thing. Either way you&#39;re paid twice: the yield on your capital, &amp; the XP that becomes avKAT on top. Krates are back, &amp; this time your XP has somewhere to go. Just so everyone is aware, rules state 18+ and questing isn&#39;t available in the US and some other jurisdictions (cough cough VPN cough cough).

It gets a steady 10-12% APY from reinsurance underwriting. It can be looped/leveraged on Kamino by borrowing USDC/USDG against it. Does anybody use this strategy or anything like it for RWA? I’m interesting in using DeFi to have a tiny sleeve of my portfolio achieve a 10% CAGR. Less than 1% though of course. What additional risks would I be taking? Could it be worth it to loop, or would it be better to just hold the tokens outright? What other RWA do you guys use in DeFi to get better than average returns? I’m not the most interested in holding majors, I don’t personally believe in the price of BTC or ETH going up. But I think DeFi is really fascinating and probably had some good opportunities? I just don’t know what I’d personally do to pursue it, safely of course. I was also interested in LPing for RWA like gold, tokenized ETFs, or tokenized stocks. Wouldn’t that be a benefit in flat or choppy markets, to essentially harvest volatility? I would just be devastated to be drained or hacked somehow. I know these protocols can get hacked and that doesn’t sit right with me. I’d rather have most of my money in safer ETFs with actual insurance. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/user4443337 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/does-anyone-loop-onyc-or-strategies-like-it</link><guid>878384</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Does anyone loop ONYC or strategies like it?</dc:text></item><item><title>I reviewed how long Bitcoin took to recover after: 2013, 2017 and 2021.</title><description><![CDATA[I went through the three major all-time highs in Bitcoin&#39;s history and how long it took to recover the price after each crash: Dec 2013 → dropped 85% → took 4 years to recover Dec 2017 → dropped 84% → took 3 years Nov 2021 → dropped 77% → took 2 years and 4 months The recovery window seems to be shrinking each cycle (4 → 3 → 2.3 years), though there&#39;s obviously no guarantee the next one plays out the same way. Interesting extra data point: according to a Bank for International Settlements (BIS) working paper, an estimated 81% of people who buy crypto at some point in the cycle end up losing money — not necessarily because of a bad entry price, but because they don&#39;t hold through the drawdown. So being in the 19% that actually wins is easy — you just need the ability to wait. I don&#39;t understand why nobody&#39;s talking about Bitcoin right now, when we&#39;re at cycle lows and the recovery keeps getting faster each time.

The Technical Cause: Weak Entropy Independent cybersecurity teams, including Arkham Intelligence and the Milk Sad research team, revealed that the hack was not a complex network breach but rather an exploitation of weak cryptographic key generation. The Flaw: LuBian utilized a flawed pseudo-random number generator algorithm (similar to vulnerabilities found in Libbitcoin Explorer software). The Exploit: Instead of using a secure, uncrackable 256-bit random number, the wallet software used a highly vulnerable 32-bit seed to generate its private keys.

Just re-iterating, there are no strings attached - it&#39;s completely free and we quickly built it after realizing there was over $67M in unclaimed tokens sitting across 87,021 smart wallets. I&#39;m just disclosing that I work for DFS to underscore that this isn&#39;t some hidden shill for DFS. No need to connect your wallet to the tool - just run your wallet address, check if you have tokens to claim - and claim them on DeFi Saver. The leftover tokens typically happen as leftover dust from DeFi transactions, long-forgotten airdrop (such as $UNI) or regular DeFi activity where you forgot the funds on your smart wallet. Full Info about the tool: We found over $67M in unclaimed tokens sitting in numerous smart wallets across the DeFi landscape. Not random tokens, but blue chip assets - including: $ETH - $3.4M $USDT - $6.9M $sUSDS - $10M $WBTC - $6M And many more. We then built a tool that lets you claim the tokens you forgot you had. Simply connect your main wallet to TokenSaver, check, and claim on DeFi Saver: https://tokensaver.fyi/ How do these assets end up in a smart wallet? Option 1: When you manage your lending position through a DeFi app (such as DeFi Saver, Summer.Fi, Instadapp) - it utilizes a smart wallet in order to perform advanced transactions such as 1-tx leveraging, unwinding, and more. All of these advanced transactions typically require swapping an asset to pay back a flash loan. When these swaps happen - It&#39;s possible that it swaps a bit more than necessary to make sure the transaction goes through despite small price movement. Those leftover funds remain sitting in the smart wallet holding the position. Or, perhaps you have/had a Maker position? All Maker CDPs are held on DSProxy smart wallets, so it’s worth connecting your CDP owner wallet to TokenSaver - maybe there are some leftover funds waiting to be claimed. That’s up to 8 years of potentially accumulating assets that never ended up in your EOA wallet. Option 2: You were eligible for an airdrop and received it due to your DeFi activity - but because it was distributed to your smart wallet, you never realized it. There&#39;s currently over $5.5M in $UNI that were likely distributed this way - and are unclaimed to this day. Option 3: Through regular DeFi activity over the years - some funds might have ended up on your smart wallet, and due to smart wallets typically lacking dedicated frontends - you forgot about them. While Safe (Gnosis) smart wallets have a dedicated UI - some, such as DSProxy, DSA, and SummerFi proprietary wallets lack it. So, it’s possible you continued on your DeFi journey without ever realizing you had funds leftover on the smart wallet(s). Since smart wallets need to have an owner wallet - you should simply connect with your main wallet, and TokenSaver will find all smart wallets owned by it. Note for nested Safe owners - Please input your owner Safe’s address into TokenSaver, not your EOA. You can then access DeFi Saver through the Safe app and claim your funds that way. That&#39;s pretty much it! Please try the tool out and let me know if you found anything interesting, such as a bag that you never realized you had available to claim :) &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/SpurdoSparde28 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/we-made-a-free-tool-to-check-if-you-have-any-lost-tokens-eth-usdc-etc-waiting-to-be-claimed</link><guid>878370</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>We made a free tool to check if you have any lost tokens (ETH, USDC, etc...) waiting to be claimed</dc:text></item><item><title>[GER] Petition for Bundestag: Beibehaltung der steuerlichen Haltefrist für Bitcoin</title><description><![CDATA[There is an active petition for keeping Bitcoin tax free in Germany (after one year hodling).

Lately, I&#39;ve realized that we spend a lot of time discussing TPS, DeFi, or consensus mechanisms, but very little time talking about what wallets are actually capable of. So my question is for people using other blockchains: What can your project&#39;s wallet do besides sending tokens, NFTs, staking, or using liquidity pools? I&#39;m looking for features that genuinely solve real-world or Web2 problems. If your wallet has something unique or particularly useful, I&#39;d love to hear about it so I can compare it with what Radix offers. For example, the Radix Wallet can: Passwordless login. Selectively share only the data you choose with an application. Present badges as proof of identity or permissions. Support pre-authorizations. Work with native resource permissions. (Roadmap) Decentralized account recovery without relying solely on a seed phrase. And with projects like Radix Seal, you can also: Sign files. Encrypt files. Use a secure chat. I&#39;m curious to see what other ecosystems are building. Maybe there are wallet features I&#39;m not aware of that deserve more attention. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/LrbReddit [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/what-can-your-projects-wallet-do-besides-sending-crypto</link><guid>878376</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What can your project's wallet do besides sending crypto?</dc:text></item><item><title>i think this is the worst BTC chart rn</title><description><![CDATA[ Came across this earlier and it definitely doesn’t look great for BTC right now.

I’ve been running an agent labor market on Base mainnet with real USDC since July, so I hit this from the implementation side and only found the papers afterward. 1. The ERC-8004 empirical study (2606.26028) measured the deployed ecosystem across Ethereum, BSC and Base. Coordinated Sybil behaviour among reviewers at 73.5% / 59.2% / 90.6%. Only 3% / 4% / 15% of registrations expose a live endpoint. Their conclusion: the Reputation Registry can’t work as a trust signal because “values are not commensurable” and feedback is rarely grounded in verifiable interaction. 2. Separately, a pile of 2026 work on LLM-as-judge robustness (2603.06594, 2506.09443) shows model judges can be pushed to maximum scores with short appended phrases, and that those phrases transfer between models. One paper’s title is literally “A Coin Flip for Safety.” 3. And “Trust Without Trusting” (2605.06738) proposes recomputable trust: signed events, a deterministic fold, published evidence, so a third party can recompute a trust verdict without trusting whoever produced it. It works over existing on-chain data, no new standard needed. Here’s the thing. Paper 3 defines the fold but explicitly leaves the weighting open — it says combining verdicts of different confidence is supported but doesn’t specify how. Papers 1 and 2 are, together, the reason that weighting can’t be left open. If a mechanically reproduced result and a model’s opinion enter the same fold at the same weight, the fold is only as strong as its weakest input, and paper 2 says that input is a coin flip. The concrete gap: ERC-8004’s Validation Registry stores a verdict as one number, 0–100. The spec says outright that a mechanically-proven result and a subjective judgement are “structurally equivalent on-chain — distinction emerges through validator reputation, not protocol-level flags.” But validator reputation is the thing paper 1 measured as 73–90% Sybil. The fallback is the broken part. There’s also a taxonomy paper (2511.03434) that sorts inter-agent trust into Brief / Claim / Proof / Stake / Reputation / Constraint and concludes no single one suffices. I think it’s right but that “Proof” is one bucket too coarse. A canary that only the target could produce, and an LLM saying the work looks good, are both “proof” in that taxonomy and are not remotely the same thing. Paper 2 is the evidence for splitting it. What I did about it, for whatever one implementation is worth. I tag every verdict with a forge-resistance class before it goes anywhere: reproducible (a third party can re-run it and get the same answer — a canary, the requester’s own CI, a mutation-graded suite), mechanical (deterministic but needs my inputs to reproduce), model (an LLM or vision model’s judgement), attested (signed but not reproducible), declared (unverified self-report, which is what 8004 feedback defaults to). The class rides along in the tag field the Validation Registry already has, so a consumer can weight by it instead of averaging flat. Fifty declared 100s weigh less than one reproducible 60. That’s it. It’s not a Sybil solution and I want to be clear I haven’t solved that — I Sybil-attacked my own market and wrote up how it went. It’s the missing coordinate that lets a downstream fold apply a solution, which is more than the standard currently offers and less than a fix. Two things I’d genuinely like to be argued with on: **•** Is “reproducible vs. model” the right primary axis, or should it be something else (cost to forge in dollars? number of independent parties required?). **•** The 8004 tag field is a string and nobody agrees on its contents. Is there any appetite for a registry-level convention, or is off-chain interpretation the intended design? Disclosure: I used an LLM to help tidy the writing here. The measurements, the code and the argument are mine; the paper links are there so you can check the numbers rather than take my word for them. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/L_capitalism [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/erc-8004s-reputation-problem-and-the-llm-as-judge-problem-are-the-same-problem</link><guid>878371</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>ERC-8004’s reputation problem and the LLM-as-judge problem are the same problem</dc:text></item><item><title>Hitting a mainstream audience</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/JayW132 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/hitting-a-mainstream-audience</link><guid>878361</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Hitting a mainstream audience</dc:text></item><item><title>The Sovereign Ledger: How Casper Network’s US Expansion Signals Web3’s Pivot to Regulated Infrastructure</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/BakingBreadBB2 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-sovereign-ledger-how-casper-networks-us-expansion-signals-web3s-pivot-to-regulated-infrastructure</link><guid>878381</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The Sovereign Ledger: How Casper Network’s US Expansion Signals Web3’s Pivot to Regulated Infrastructure</dc:text></item><item><title>I got hacked for $10,700 USDC of my Wedding savings on Polygon.

After comparing different methods, here&#39;s what stood out: Spot trading is usually much cheaper than using the &quot;Instant Buy&quot; button. Bank transfers often cost far less than credit cards. P2P marketplaces can be great if you&#39;re careful and only trade with verified merchants. Network withdrawal fees matter just as much as trading fees. Many &quot;zero-fee&quot; platforms still hide costs through wider spreads. I also noticed that buying USDT first and then trading on the spot market can sometimes be more cost-effective than buying BTC or ETH directly. I&#39;m curious how everyone here approaches it. Questions: What&#39;s your go-to method for buying crypto with the lowest fees? Do you mainly use Spot, P2P, or Instant Buy? Which exchange has consistently been the cheapest in your experience?

Here's my full offline dice + BIP39 workflow, step by step</title><description><![CDATA[I&#39;m not trying to make this an &quot;I told you so&quot; post, but I&#39;ll admit that&#39;s roughly how I felt reading the Coinkite advisory last week. Quick recap for anyone who missed it. A firmware integration mistake from March 2021 caused Coldcard seed generation to fall back to MicroPython&#39;s software PRNG instead of using the chip&#39;s hardware RNG. The build check tested whether a macro existed, not whether it was enabled, and since the value was zero it silently passed. Nothing crashed. No warnings. Seeds kept coming out looking like completely normal 12 and 24 word phrases and nobody noticed for four years. Coinkite&#39;s own estimate is around 40 bits of effective entropy on Mk2 and Mk3, and around 72 bits on Mk4, Mk5 and Q, against the 128 bits that should have been there. On July 30 someone drained 1,196 addresses in 41 minutes. Later on-chain analysis has the total north of 1,300 BTC. I&#39;ve never trusted device-generated entropy. Not because I&#39;m smart, but for a genuinely dumb reason: I can&#39;t audit it. You cannot crack open a hardware wallet and confirm that the number came out of a real TRNG and not out of a timer register. You just trust it. And trust is the exact thing we spend all day telling each other not to do. Don&#39;t trust, verify, except at the single most important moment in the whole stack, which is the birth of the key, where basically everyone just trusts. I&#39;ve said this for years and always sounded like a crank. This week made me realize how few of us actually do it, so here&#39;s my process. It&#39;s much simpler than people expect. The reasoning No computer is truly random. It simulates randomness. A die bouncing across a table involves physics nobody can model or predict. That&#39;s actual randomness, not an imitation of it. When you roll it yourself and type the result, you stop outsourcing the most critical part of your security to firmware you&#39;ve never read. The tool I use Ian Coleman&#39;s BIP39 tool. It&#39;s free, the code has been open on GitHub for years, plenty of people have gone through it, and most importantly there&#39;s a standalone single-file build that runs fully offline. You download one HTML file and that&#39;s it. No server, no network calls, nothing. Link: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases Type that address into the address bar. Do not Google it. I&#39;m serious about this one. I&#39;ve seen sponsored ads for clones of this tool, and the clone had hardcoded entropy. You generate a seed, everything looks right, you deposit, and the coins are gone. Searching and clicking the first result is a great way to hand your wallet to someone for free. On the releases page on GitHub, under the latest version (0.5.6), expand assets and download bip39-standalone.html. That single file is all you need. Going offline Pick your paranoia level: Basic: unplug the machine from the internet. Cable out, Wi-Fi off at the hardware switch if you have one. Only then open the file. Better: use a second device. An old laptop you don&#39;t use for anything else, no network. The annoying level (mine): an amnesic system like Tails booted from a USB stick. It writes nothing to disk and forgets everything on shutdown. If you&#39;re going to skip all of that and open the file on your daily driver with forty tabs open, do yourself a favor and stop here. Generating the entropy With the machine offline, open bip39-standalone.html in your browser. It loads exactly like the online version, just without any internet. Tick &quot;show entropy details&quot;. A new panel opens with an entropy field and a bunch of technical readouts underneath. Under &quot;valid entropy values include&quot;, pick the Dice [1-6] option. It shows an example like 62535634 so you can see the expected format. Grab your die and start rolling. Type each result into the entropy field. No spaces, no commas, all run together. It ends up looking like this: 6245612344552631245563124563123456311243563212345641... As you type, watch the panel below. It updates &quot;Event Count&quot; (how many rolls you&#39;ve entered) and &quot;Total Bits&quot; (how much entropy you&#39;ve actually accumulated) in real time. That counter is what you follow, not my guess. My reference numbers: 12 words: you need at least 128 bits. In this tool that works out to roughly 80 rolls. 24 words: at least 256 bits. Somewhere around 155 to 160 rolls. Yes, it&#39;s tedious. I put on a podcast and get through it in about 15 minutes. Given what it&#39;s protecting, 15 minutes is cheap. And if you overshoot, fine. Extra entropy doesn&#39;t hurt anything. A quick tip on the die: ensure you actually roll it so it bounces. A light, two-inch drop with a warped novelty die creates bias, so rolling more frequently helps to counteract that. If you&#39;re more advanced, the tool also accepts coin flips and playing cards as entropy sources. Same idea. I&#39;m using dice here because it&#39;s the easiest for most people to get right. Getting the seed Done rolling? Scroll down. Your phrase is already sitting in the BIP39 Mnemonic field. That&#39;s it. Just confirm Mnemonic Length is set to whichever you wanted, 12 or 24. Write the words down on paper, in order, by hand. Don&#39;t photograph it. Don&#39;t type it into your phone. Don&#39;t email it to yourself, don&#39;t put it in Notes, don&#39;t put it in Google Keep. Paper, pen, in order, then check it word by word twice, paying attention to the ones that look similar. After that, restore the seed into whatever wallet you trust, hot or cold, and use it normally. If you want to stay fully offline, Electrum or anything else that takes a BIP39 import works fine. When you&#39;re finished, close the browser and delete the file. On Tails, just shut down. Stuff I do and strongly recommend Test before you trust it. Restore the seed in your wallet, confirm the addresses match what the tool showed, send a small amount, try spending it. Only then move real money. Do not use the example dice string I pasted above. Obvious, but someone will. That&#39;s an illustration. Consider a BIP39 passphrase. It&#39;s another layer, and in this exact incident a strong passphrase also kept people out of the blast radius. Never type an existing seed into this tool while online. The tool is offline by design, but people aren&#39;t. Being honest about the downsides This isn&#39;t a foolproof solution, and I&#39;m not going to pretend it is. The weak point is that the seed passes through a general purpose computer. Browsers cache, systems swap, there&#39;s always some surface. A hardware wallet that takes dice input directly on the device (Coldcard itself does this, which is the irony here) has the advantage that the seed never touches a PC at all. If you have that option, and you trust the device to do the mixing, that&#39;s an equally valid path and arguably a better one. There are other approaches too: hand-picking words from the wordlist, computing the checksum manually, coins, cards. Each one trades off differently between security, complexity, and how likely you are to screw it up. Honestly, the biggest risk across every manual method is the user making a mistake and bricking their own money. And the obvious point: this isn&#39;t Bitcoin only. It applies to anything using BIP39, so most of the rest of the space too. This is the method I use, trust, and recommend to friends and family. It isn&#39;t the only correct one. Do your own research, understand what you&#39;re doing before you do it, and above all, store those words properly. Generating the most perfectly random seed in the universe means nothing if the paper ends up in a kitchen drawer or in your camera roll. No generation method survives bad storage. If you use a different method, drop it in the comments. I&#39;m actually curious how many people here generate entropy by hand versus how many just hit generate and hope. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/EriksonThorsen [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/ive-never-trusted-device-generated-entropy-heres-my-full-offline-dice-bip39-workflow-step-by-step</link><guid>878359</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I've never trusted device-generated entropy.

Coldcard might reduce your security by missleading guidance!</title><description><![CDATA[So Coinkite guidance displayed on the display is: &quot;... each roll adds only 2.585 of entropy. For 128-bit security, which is considered the minimum, you need 50 rolls, and for 256-bits of security, 99 rolls.&quot; They let you press the buttons 1-6 (and only those) for each roll. So you can only use a D6. If you did it 50 times, you think you did the minimum to have 128-Bit security. Here are my questions: The 2.585 entropy per roll are based on entropy values 0-9 (base 10), right? If I limit the entropy values to 1-6 (D6 dice) I introduce a massive bias, right? Is it fair to assume that the resulting entropy is just 1.67 per roll? Is my ColdCard dice genrated seed realy secured by the minimum 128 bit, or more like with just 84 bits? Look, I&#39;m no expert, indeed hope I&#39;m wrong.

Trump just changed his own narrative. Earlier he said there would be a deal with Iran on Wednesday. Now he&#39;s saying it will happen in 48 hours. The US stockpile of missiles is almost used up. That could give Iran the upper hand and make them see the US as being in a weaker position. To show they have the upper hand, they could still close the Strait of Hormuz and refuse to make a deal. Iran has continuously said there will be no deal if Trump keeps threatening them, which he did again just a few minutes ago. Most of the companies driving this rally have something to do with the AI boom, and I think that market has become a bubble that&#39;s eventually going to crash hard.

This is more than enough evidence of probable cause to charge them and start a prosecution.</title><description><![CDATA[https://x.com/inverse_hanlon/status/2084689208627925384 A CEO who dismissed the threat by name, a pseudonym that turned out to be the CTO, two warnings four years apart, and a company whose entire answer was that it would have already known. They Sold the Warning On 21 December 2020 (22 Dec UTC), replying to Bitcoin security researcher Michael Flaxman, who had just posted about hardware wallets eliminating the risk of a retirement attack during seed generation and Rodolfo Novak “NVK” addressed the question head on. My money is on people screwing themselves out of their BTC before any vendor tries a retirement attack.Alternatively people could just use dice ;) Ten weeks later on 1 March 2021, Coinkite’s CTO shipped a commit titled “First pass w/ libNgU” that routed Coldcard’s seed generation into a software pseudorandom number generator seeded from the device’s serial number and a clock. NVK’s threat model in December 2020 pointed outward. Users were the risk. Vendors were not. Ten weeks after he said so his co-founder shipped the vendor version and it stayed shipped for five years. The dice line is the other half: He offered it with a wink and it turned out to be the only thing standing between his customers and total loss. Oops They sold it again On 10 October 2021: seven months into shipping the defect the official Coldcard account posted that Coldcard makes retirement attacks impossible. Someone in the replies asked what a retirement attack was. Coinkite answered it themselves. It’s when the project makers could have a “bug” in the entropy generation for later retrieval. Their scare quotes not mine. By then somebody had already tried to warn them. The escape hatch was optional on purpose Look at what that 2021 post was actually selling: Dice rolls. The documentation it linked to still opens with a sentence that reads differently today; if you don’t trust the TRNGs in your COLDCARD, you can introduce your own randomness with dice. At least ninety nine rolls for a full 256 bits. But that setting is “opt in” and sits behind the default that looks fine from the outside.It asks the user to press buttons a hundred times to avoid trusting the manufacturer. Every person who still has their bitcoin took that option, or used a (strong) passphrase, or ran multisig. Every person who got swept trusted the default. That is the architecture a retirement attack requires. You can’t make the mitigation mandatory because then there’s nothing left to collect. You can’t omit it because the paranoid customers will ask why. So you offer it, document it, recommend at least ninety nine rolls, and let the default do the work. When it detonates the record shows you warned your users, therefore neatly covering your tracks if this was an inside job. Coinkite built the structure, warned of the attack it enables, and then pushed a firmware with a backdoor for five years. The pseudonym was the CTO Here is the detail that reorganizes everything else. Coldcard’s crypto ran through libngu, a library on GitHub under the account switck. About six stars. Maintained by one person: apparently pseudonymous. When James O’Beirne audited the firmware that’s what he found: a random number generation for a device holding billions of dollars in bitcoin backed up to what he described as a shady library with six stars maintained solely by a pseudoanon. Dylan LeClair ran GPG verification against that repo and published the output. James O’Beirne then published a full census: fifty-eight commits authored as Switck carry a good signature from Peter D. Gray’s personal key: the same key that signs nineteen other commits in the same repo under Gray’s own name. The key is expired and the signatures are still good. The RNG selection commit is among them. Signed 28 January 2021, switck published no GPG key of they/their own. Peter Gray is Coinkite’s CTO and cofounded the company with NVK. Coinkite has never had more than about twenty people and by most accounts Gray wrote the large majority of the firmware. So switck was Coinkite’s own CTO. Cryptographically proven; not inferred. Every outside reviewer who looked at libngu saw an unaudited third party dependency by an anonymous stranger and worried about supply chain risk. Coinkite’s own people knew it was in house and had no reason to review it as external code. The use of a pseudonym here means that no one audited that chunk of code. Outsiders assumed insiders had. Insiders knew there was no outside to check. They were warned in 2021 Five weeks after the commit on 7 April 2021 someone in a Telegram group flagged the change. Their post sounds in retrospect like a man watching a car roll toward a cliff. Roughly quoting: “The 4.0.x firmware was a radical deviation from every firmware since 2018, with all crypto and BIP39 related code replaced by libNgU. Is it was wise to replace the many-years-old TrezorCrypto code, which has been heavily scrutinized by white hats like Johoe and penetration tested by wallet.fail, with something new. “switck” might be a talented pseudonymous coder, but the commit history is bad” (and they linked to it) The post sat in a Coldcard Telegram group under an embedded NVK tweet about the 4.0.x upgrade: the same tweet in which he said he doesn’t check Telegram. That warning posted five weeks after the defect shipped was correct in every single way. Five years and four months before the money starting mysteriously leaving peoples cold storage. They were warned again in 2025 In May 2025 James O’Beirne audited coldcard/firmware. He wanted to establish conclusively where the RNG was sourced from. He traced it into libngu, found the six-star pseudonymous repo, and was confused about why it was there at all. Because linking libsecp256k1 from Python is easy and that appeared to be the stated purpose. He sent Coinkite a report. In his own words: he had “doubts about whether the true RNG was actually in use”, and he pointed out that the “hardcoded yasmarang constants in libngu were sloppy”. He advised them to rip the whole thing out and link against libsecp256k1 directly. That’s the bug! He identified the exact library, constants, and the question of whether the hardware RNG was being used. And he told them to remove it! Coinkite’s answer, as O’Beirne reports, was that if something was wrong “we’d already know about it by now” and that everything was properly configured for the real boards. That is not a technical response. That is an appeal to their own reputation offered to a developer who had just traced the code and found otherwise. And in a separate post O’Beirne identifies Peter Gray “@DocHex” as “the same guy that shrugged off my report of the possibility of the defect in May 2025.” The same Gray who wrote the library. The same Gray who was switck. There was follow-up of a kind. A Signal group titled “LNGU Clean up” was created on 23 May 2025, with members shown as “n,” “Doc,” “andres,” and one other. Doc-hex is Gray. “n” is NVK. So Coinkite formed a group about cleaning up libNgU and named it after the problem. Then they shipped… nothing! Absolutely no fix fourteen months. The group’s messages were set to disappear after four weeks so whatever was said there is gone, just like the bitcoins that were in hundres of hard working peoples Coldcards. O’Beirne blames himself for not pushing harder. He calls not following up rigorously a horrible mistake on his part. Hold that next to Coinkite’s public explanation which is that an attacker probably used AI to find something nobody could reasonably have caught. The developer who caught it is apologizing. The company that was responsibly informed is blaming the clankers. He didn’t know what was in his own crypto library Coinkite’s technical postmortem is worth reading in full because its author is if nothing else candid. He explains that he set the macro to zero believing it meant neither implementation would be compiled. That is not what it does. And he writes that the bulk of the randomness in the device was coming from a PRNG he did not know was in the codebase at all because it arrived through a submodule. Meanwhile the carefully written hardware TRNG code was still being used, but only by accident and only for things that didn’t matter. He is describing a submodule he wrote. The company selling immunity to entropy tampering did not know which random number generator its product used for five years. The man who says he didn’t know is the man who authored both sides of the mistake. And the answer when it finally surfaced was that libngu XORed one software PRNG against a second software PRNG seeded from constants hardcoded in public source. Two deterministic streams XORed together produce a deterministic stream. The built in health check rejects adjacent repeated values which any nondegenerate PRNG passes without effort. Those are the same hardcoded yasmarang constants O’Beirne told them to rip out. Coldcard seeds generated in that window contained no physical randomness whatsoever. They bought a press release not an audit Peter Todd says Coinkite brought him on in early 2014 as “Chief Naysayer”: an advisory role. Years before the first hardware wallet existed there was a press release. By his account he was given nothing to work on: no tasks, no work to bill for, and then the arrangement quietly dropped. He says it’s still on a LinkedIn profile that he hasn’t logged into in a over decade. His assessment now in his own words: “if they had kept him on and asked him to audit the codebases, there’s a good chance he’d have spotted the practices at issue, and maybe eighty million dollars wouldn’t have been stolen”. He puts that audit at roughly $50k and asks what Coinkite spent on podcast sponsorships instead. The company announced that a famous skeptic was reviewing them and then never asked him to review anything. The press release was the product. All the things they said Coinkite’s public position throughout this crisis has been that it had no idea the flaw existed until the day the money started moving. Two documented warnings and a Signal group named after the problem say otherwise. NVK’s stated position on attribution: they “don’t have full attribution or scope yet”, and they “won’t speculate until the technical evaluation is complete”. Coinkite then suggested publicly that the attacker likely used an automated tool to comb the public source and find the flaw before they did. That’s speculation. This propisition rests on absolutely no evidence. And it happens to be the only theory of the case in which nobody at Coinkite knew and nobody at Coinkite failed. You can decline to speculate or you can float the hypothesis that clears you. Doing both inside the same week tells you which one was the priority. Coinkite told customers it kept purchase data for 90 days. When breach notifications went out they reached buyers going back to 2019. Challenged, the company pointed at a policy page, conceded it has no deletion schedule and said the addresses would be kept “for now.” A verifiable lie caught within a few days of the largest breach of trust in hardware wallet history, and on a question where the answer was easily verifiable. This speaks volumes of NVK’s character. The fix broke too On 31 July Coinkite shipped out an emergency firmware update. Three days later a contributor opened pull request #692 against the Coldcard firmware repo, reporting that the hotfix had introduced a new failure on the hardware RNG path. The entropy fix itself is correct: rng_get() now resolves to the board’s true hardware accessor instead of the software fallback. But rng_get_or_fault() had no recovery path for the STM32’s RNG seed error flags. After a seed error the peripheral stops delivering data and the shipped code never clears the condition; so every later call times out and raises OSError(EFAULT) for the rest of that boot. Because rng_get() now sits on the keypad scan path (an interrupt callback that runs before login) that exception lands before the PIN prompt. Power cycling clears the flags; if the error recurs on the next boo: the user is locked out of the upgrade menu too and the device is essentially bricked. The original report overstated the stickiness. The flags do not survive a power cycle: so this is not a permanent brick from a single glitch. It is still a serious regression: an emergency patch for a five-year review failure shipped fast that can take the device down before the user can enter a PIN. 692 was closed in favor of #693, a cleaner recovery sequence from a Coinkite contributor, with #698 as the Mk3 follow-up. Both were still open when this was written. The point is not that nobody noticed. The point is that the first hotfix for a five-year entropy failure needed a second round of patches within days. Giving the attacker MORE TIME to execute sweeping funds from vulnerable wallets. What they’ll say Three objections are coming, and they’re the ones I’d make if I was NVK for sure Galaxy says the waves may not share an operator. True: and irrelevant to the part that matters. Galaxy’s caution is about waves two, three, and four. Once wave one went loud on 30 July the vulnerability was public property and anyone with tooling could pile in. That’s what waves three and four look like. Wave one is the one that tells you something. 1,082 BTC out of 1,195 addresses in 41 minutes with seeds already computed; executed by someone who had been preparing while nobody else on earth knew there was anything to prepare for. The bug was publicly findable: anyone could have found it. Two people found it in public and said so, in 2021 and in 2025. Both were told it was fine. The set of people who knew this was a live question before 30 July is not the general public. It’s a short list and Coinkite was on it. A mass sweep is too loud for an insider. It’s too loud for the rational insider who bleeds quietly over years and never triggers a referral. The loudness cuts against a careful inside job. It does not erase the warnings, the Signal group, or their response that if something was wrong they’d already know. What I think happened Somebody inside that company knew what was sitting in the codebase and knew what it was worth. Look at the timeline: Ten weeks before the bug shipped the CEO publicly waved off the idea that a vendor would ever run a retirement attack and pointed at dice as the alternative. His co-founder and CTO then wrote a crypto library under a pseudonymous GitHub account with about six stars, and shipped the device’s entire randomness path through it. Five weeks later someone flagged the swap in a Coldcard Telegram group and was ignored. Seven months after that the company marketed immunity to the exact attack class the defect enables and made the only reliable defense an “opt in”. Four years in: a Bitcoin developer audited the firmware found the library, named the hardcoded constants, told them to remove the whole thing, and was told they’d already know if something was wrong. They opened a Signal group called “LNGU Clean up,” set the messages to disappear, and shipped nothing. Coins were leaving through 695 transactions nobody noticed. Then somebody who had been precomputing seeds for a long time took 1,082 BTC in 41 minutes. Each of these has an innocent explanation available. All of them stacked in the same direction inside a company of twenty people. This is not a run of bad luck. Inverse Hanlon’s razor exists for exactly this shape: when incompetence needs that many separate coincidences to line up the same way the incentive is the simpler explanation. I can’t say for 100% it was an inside job of course: every document that would definititevly prove it belongs to them. The “LNGU Clean up” thread, whatever survived a four week expiration. Whatever code review they ran and when. The commit history around anyone who touched rng.c after May 2025. Roughly 600 attacker addresses are already in front of federal investigators and Coinkite says it’s cooperating. Cooperation is cheap. Coinkite has apologized, published a postmortem, shipped a fix that needed a second round of patches within days, and offered its customers not a single sat as compensation. The man who found this in May 2025 is publicly apologizing for not pushing harder. And NVK is blaming AI. The people who still have their bitcoins are the ones who read Coldcard’s own documentation, saw the line offering them a way to distrust the manufacturer’s randomness, and took it. Nobody told them that one sentence in the docs was the difference between keeping their money and losing it. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Todo_es [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/retirement-attack-many-more-details-pointing-straight-to-the-ceo-and-cto-stealing-the-coins-this-is-more-than-enough-evidence-of-probable-cause-to-charge-them-and-start-a-prosecution</link><guid>878254</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Retirement Attack: Many more details pointing straight to the CEO and CTO stealing the coins.

Whether it’s liquidity mining, staking emissions, or farming incentives, many reward systems rely on creating new supply. That can attract users quickly, but it also introduces inflation and often isn’t sustainable unless the protocol keeps growing fast enough to offset it. That got me thinking about a different question. What if rewards came from actual economic activity instead of inflation? That’s the idea behind Flywheel Protocol. What is Flywheel? Flywheel is an on-chain distribution protocol. It isn’t designed to be another token. It isn’t even designed around one specific project. Instead, it’s infrastructure that allows a project to define how value flows back to its community. Think of Flywheel as a programmable distribution engine. Revenue comes in from whatever sources a project chooses. The protocol accounts for it transparently. Then it distributes that value according to rules the project configures. At its simplest: Revenue Source ↓ Flywheel ↓ Treasury ↓ Users The interesting part is that the revenue source doesn’t matter. It could be: Creator fees from a launchpad NFT royalties Marketplace fees Protocol revenue Gaming economies Manual treasury deposits Future integrations that don’t even exist yet Flywheel isn’t tied to one business model. It’s designed to sit underneath many different ones. Why make it configurable? Every community is different. An NFT project doesn’t reward users the same way a launchpad does. A game doesn’t reward users the same way a DeFi protocol does. Instead of forcing everyone into one reward model, Flywheel is designed to let projects configure their own. For example, a project could choose: What assets users deposit Which revenue sources feed the protocol Reward epochs Pool weighting Compounding Early withdrawal penalties Burn mechanics Treasury allocations Supported payout assets Future gamification systems NFT multipliers LP incentives Bullion is simply testing one possible configuration. Another project could choose something completely different without rebuilding the entire reward infrastructure. Bullion is the first proof of concept Rather than releasing Flywheel as an abstract idea, we decided to build a live implementation first. That’s Bullion. Bullion is running as a public beta to prove the distribution model works before expanding Flywheel into a protocol other projects can integrate. At the time I’m writing this, Bullion has been live for less than 6 days. Already, over 153 million Bullion has been deposited into the protocol since going live roughly 2 days ago representing roughly 15.3% of the total supply. That’s encouraging because it gives us real user behavior to learn from instead of relying only on simulations. How does Bullion work? Users deposit Bullion into a shared pool. Every deposit receives a weight based on: The amount deposited The epoch selected Longer epochs receive higher weighting. During each reward period, protocol revenue is distributed proportionally according to each participant’s weighted share of the pool. If your position represents 5% of the total weighted pool, you receive approximately 5% of the revenue allocated for that distribution period. No emissions. No newly printed reward tokens. Just proportional distribution of value entering the protocol. Auto-compounding Users can also choose to compound. Instead of withdrawing rewards every cycle, they can automatically add them back into their deposited position. As that position grows, so does its weight inside the pool. Over time, compounding increases a participant’s share without requiring continuous manual deposits. That creates the “flywheel.” Protocol activity generates revenue. Revenue grows positions. Larger positions earn a larger share of future revenue. The system reinforces itself through participation rather than inflation. Why this could scale This is the part I’m most excited about. Bullion is only one implementation. The long-term vision is much larger. Imagine hundreds of projects all using the same distribution infrastructure. One launchpad routes creator fees. An NFT marketplace routes royalties. A game routes marketplace revenue. A DAO routes treasury income. Each project keeps its own identity and business model, but they all share the same underlying distribution engine. Instead of every team building reward logic from scratch, they configure Flywheel to match their ecosystem. That dramatically lowers the complexity of launching sustainable reward systems. It also opens the door to layering additional mechanics on top. Projects could build quests, loyalty systems, NFT boosts, reputation systems, governance perks, seasonal events, referral programs, LP incentives, and other gamified experiences, all using the same underlying distribution layer. Flywheel doesn’t replace those systems. It becomes the foundation they build on. What about real-world assets? This is where I think things become really interesting. As more assets move on-chain, users shouldn’t be limited to earning rewards in only one token. Instead, projects could eventually allow participants to choose how they want to settle their rewards. That could mean stablecoins. It could mean tokenized gold. It could mean tokenized silver. Or any supported on-chain asset in the future. The goal isn’t simply to tokenize real-world assets. The goal is to make participation in those assets more accessible through decentralized infrastructure. Someone anywhere in the world with a wallet and an internet connection can participate without needing a traditional brokerage account or local financial institution. There’s still smart contract risk, market risk, and regulatory uncertainty around RWAs generally, but the direction is compelling. It’s still early Bullion is intentionally being used as a beta. We’re testing assumptions. Watching how users behave. Finding edge cases. Improving the protocol before asking other projects to build on top of it. Rewards are not guaranteed, and they depend entirely on the economic activity flowing into the protocol. If no revenue enters Flywheel, there is nothing to distribute. That’s an intentional design decision. I’d love feedback The goal isn’t to convince anyone this is perfect. It’s to ask whether this is a better direction for crypto. Instead of building systems that rely primarily on inflation, what if we built infrastructure that distributes actual protocol activity back to participants? That’s the problem we’re trying to solve. I’d genuinely be interested in hearing what this community thinks, especially from builders who’ve designed token economies or reward systems before.

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group’s premium data product released its new subscription service for earlier access to Truth Social posts for $100,000 a month. According to reports, five Wall Street firms have already signed up for the service, gaining access to Truth Social posts milliseconds before the general public. “I’ll be blunt,” Gian Luca Clementi, an economics professor at NYU Stern School of Business, told Fortune. “This is insider trading by definition.” Because Trump owns roughly 41% of the company’s shares, he stands to directly profit from the new recurring revenue stream. At five subscribers alone, the service would generate about $500,000 in monthly revenue, or $6 million annually. That figure is modest by the standards Trump has set since returning to the White House. His 2025 financial disclosure showed his businesses generated more than $2 billion in personal income last year—nearly quadruple his 2024 total—with the bulk flowing from ventures that sit directly at the intersection of his office and his balance sheet.

If this hacker created a fresh wallet for every wallet that was sweeped, rather than sweeping them all into a single wallet, how would anyone know which wallets were hacked (aside from the original owner)? A victim would have to identify the bitcoiner walking around spending their bitcoin specifically. All victims would have to track unique addresses. He could consolidate lots of small amounts into one address, but nobody is going to go to the authorities over those. Meaningful amounts would never be consolidated. If you have an exchange then all of the original addresses are associated verifiably with a single owner. Sweeping them into many addresses serves no purpose. But this one... It&#39;s weird on so many levels. To be this intelligent, and to not plan for the other side. To me this screams of someone using an LLM in a rush, in a fever l vibe coding fever. Or else someone not looking to use the bitcoin, but to make as much noise as possible. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/CiaranCarroll [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/this-hack-was-not-like-all-the-others-they-easily-could-have-gotten-away-scot-free-why-didnt-they</link><guid>878189</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>This hack was not like all the others: They easily could have gotten away scot free.

Self custody is not dead, ColdCard was not “hacked”. An exploit in the RNG for seed phrase generation was discovered and seed phrases were stolen through this exploit. A hardware wallet’s most important feature is not its seed phrase creation, it’s just a convenient feature. A hardware wallets purpose is to hold the seed phrase securely and sign transactions offline, transmitting only the transaction data. Any FUD around self-custody is truly a head in the sand approach, as those who did everything to secure their wealth from a zero-trust perspective (both when it comes to institutions AND software) have nothing to worry about. Obviously, ColdCard users (such as myself) need to reevaluate their financial relationship with this company and its products, but I don’t think this speaks to self-custody as a whole. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/andrew869 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/whats-up-with-the-current-narrative</link><guid>878192</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What’s up with the current narrative?</dc:text></item><item><title>The Coldcard Hack: What Happened, What Actions to Take as a Coldcard Holder, and How U.S. Taxpayers May Claim Their Losses</title><description><![CDATA[Last week&#39;s Coldcard hack was a huge blow to the Bitcoin self-custody community. For years, self-custody has been viewed as the &quot;responsible&quot; and &quot;safe&quot; way to store Bitcoin, but this incident showed that even when you follow that advice, vulnerabilities can still exist, and in this case they allowed thieves to steal users&#39; BTC. What Happened? On Thursday (July 30, 2026), Coldcard customers began reporting that their BTC was being sent out of their wallet without their authorization. What first appeared to be a few isolated incidents grew to impact over 7,000 wallets. Many of these wallets existed for years without previous issues or even transactions. These transfers were the result of a vulnerability affecting the seed phrases that are generated when creating a Coldcard hardware wallet. Coldcard has released several generations of its hardware wallet over the years, including the Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, and Q models. Wallets created on Mk2 and Mk3 devices using firmware versions 4.0.1 through 4.1.9 were the most vulnerable, although there were some Mk4, Mk5, and Q wallets also impacted. When you create a new Bitcoin wallet, the device is supposed to generate a completely random seed phrase that only you know. Due to a bug in the firmware, some affected Coldcard devices didn&#39;t generate as much randomness as they should have. That made it possible for attackers (potentially with the help of AI) to mathematically figure out some users&#39; private keys and steal the bitcoin stored in those wallets. If Coldcard users selected the &quot;Roll Dice&quot; option and generated their seed phrase using their own dice rolls instead of relying solely on the device&#39;s random number generator, they were not affected by this vulnerability. What Actions to Take if Your Coldcard Wallet Wasn’t Hacked If your bitcoin is still in your Coldcard wallet, now is the time to act. Simply updating the firmware is not enough if your wallet was created using an affected firmware version. Here are the recommended steps: Determine whether your wallet is affected. Mk2/Mk3: Firmware versions 4.0.1 through 4.1.9 Mk4/Mk5: Any wallet created before version 5.6.0 (Standard) or 6.6.0X (Edge) Q: Any wallet created before version 1.5.0Q (Standard) or 6.6.0QX (Edge) Install the latest firmware. Update your Coldcard device to the latest firmware available for your model before generating a new wallet. Generate a brand new wallet. After updating, create a new seed phrase. Do not continue using your existing seed if it was generated on an affected firmware version. Verify the new wallet. Write down the new seed phrase, verify the wallet fingerprint and receive address, and confirm your backup is accurate. Move your bitcoin. Once you&#39;ve confirmed everything is working properly, transfer your BTC to the new wallet. What to Do if Your Coldcard Wallet Was Hacked Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, and once the assets have been transferred to another wallet, recovery is extremely unlikely unless law enforcement identifies and seizes the stolen funds. That said, there are still a few steps you should take: 1. Document everything. Save your wallet addresses, transaction IDs, firmware version, and any other information related to the theft. 2. File a report with the FBI&#39;s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). While recovery is uncommon, reporting helps investigators identify larger patterns and may assist future enforcement actions. This report can be filed online in just a few minutes at https://www.ic3.gov/ 3. Monitor your stolen funds. Blockchain explorers can help you track where your bitcoin moves, which may become useful if exchanges freeze or identify the assets in the future. 4. Consult a tax professional. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to claim a theft loss deduction on your U.S. tax return. U.S. Tax Implications If you lost cryptocurrency due to a scam, hack, or theft, you may be able to qualify for an ordinary tax deduction under IRC Section 165(c)(2). The following qualifications generally must be met to claim the loss: 1. The loss must qualify as “theft” under the applicable state law. This means it includes a criminal act such as fraud, swindling, false pretenses, etc. The taxpayer must show the property was illegally taken and there was criminal intent. 2. The loss must arise from a profit-motivated transaction. The taxpayer purchased BTC and stored it in their cold wallet with the intent of making a profit. 3. The loss must be claimed in the tax year in which it was discovered, with no reasonable prospect of recovery at the end of that tax year. #3 is the challenge with this hack, as the assets were stolen in 2026, but there is a chance that law enforcement may be able to recover the assets or that CoinKite may be found responsible and required to pay it’s customers. We will need to see how this situation evolves to determine whether there really is no reasonable prospect of recovery by the end of 2026. Theft losses are reported on Section B of Form 4684, Casualties and Theft Losses, to the extent of the taxpayer’s COST BASIS. The cost basis part is important, as I often have to remind clients that even though the value of their crypto was much higher when it was stolen, they only get a deduction to the extent of their cost basis (price they paid). From Form 4684, the resulting ordinary loss flows to Schedule A where itemized deductions are reported. It adds to the same deduction bucket where you report mortgage interest expenses, state taxes, etc. Your total itemized deductions on Schedule A flow to your Form 1040 and reduce your taxable income. To the extent the loss created is so big that you have a taxable loss for the tax year, the loss would be carried over and could be used to offset 80% of income in future tax years (IRC 172 limitations). Note that many CPAs are hesitant to report a cryptocurrency theft loss. I believe this is largely due to confusion related to personal theft losses being nondeductible (per Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) or potentially just a lack of experience surrounding a substantial tax position. If your CPA is not comfortable taking the position, get a second opinion and consider speaking with a crypto-specialized CPA. Conclusion The Coldcard incident is a reminder that even the most trusted security tools can have vulnerabilities. While self-custody remains one of the best ways to protect your Bitcoin, no solution is completely risk-free. If you own a Coldcard wallet, take a few minutes to determine whether you&#39;re affected and migrate your funds if necessary. If you were one of the unfortunate victims, make sure to document everything, report the theft, and speak with a qualified tax professional to determine whether you&#39;re entitled to a deduction. Although nothing can replace stolen bitcoin, the tax code may at least help soften the financial impact. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Garrett_CPAatCOS [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-coldcard-hack-what-happened-what-actions-to-take-as-a-coldcard-holder-and-how-us-taxpayers-may-claim-their-losses</link><guid>878107</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The Coldcard Hack: What Happened, What Actions to Take as a Coldcard Holder, and How U.S. Taxpayers May Claim Their Losses</dc:text></item><item><title>Opened my Trezor this morning and saw this message</title><description><![CDATA[ Anyone know why I would be getting this message?

Dinari is trying to change that. On Tuesday, the San Mateo, CA-based company that turns publicly traded shares into tokens announced that is putting the entire S&amp;P 500 on the blockchain, and making those tokenized stocks available to U.S. investors. “One day, I’m predicting… the token itself will be the trusted ledger of the stock. The beauty of that is, then we truly own it,” Dinari cofounder and CEO Gabriel Otte told Fortune. Dinari’s model replaces the traditional brokerage stack with a wallet-based system where users can fund accounts instantly with the stablecoin USDC. Dinari says the arrangement, which entails a partnership with stablecoin giant Circle, allows U.S. investors to buy and sell stocks via self-custody wallets for the first time. The startup added that it is seeking to be a bridge between the $300 billion stablecoin market and the more than $60 trillion U.S. equities market. Circle declined to comment, citing a quiet period ahead of its upcoming earnings report.

Whenever a vulnerability like this is discovered, it’s open season for hackers. Expect to see more hacks over time. There is also the fact that a lot of victims are not active on Reddit. Some victims are probably oblivious to what’s going on because their hardware is locked away in a safe. For the folks that said it would take millions of years to brute force, remember anything that can go wrong will go wrong. The reason banks and financial institutions are “safe” is because even if they get hacked and lose your money, they have a liability to repay you back. With self banking, there is no liability, making you the ultimate pig for slaughter. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Unreal_fist [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-coldcard-hack-might-be-bigger-than-you-think</link><guid>878091</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The ColdCard hack might be bigger than you think</dc:text></item><item><title>31 years ago, Bitcoin legend Hal Finney posted the first challenge to break 40-bit encryption.

If you are a crypto nerd like me and you are looking for the flow state (a mental condition of complete immersion), which was missing in traditional crypto procedures, you are going to love Internet Identity on Internet Computer Protocol. That&#39;s exactly what crypto was missing. It&#39;s a game changer. Internet Identity increases security by eliminating traditional passwords, isolating app data, and using hardware-level cryptography. If you are new to ICP start out with research about Internet Computer Prototocol (ICP) first and get familiar with everything. Learn about the decentralized Network Nervous System (NNS). Use an AI of your choice to help you with your research about ICP. Ask AI critical questions and everything that bothers you. If you are new, take several days for research. No need to hurry. Once you feel ready, start to make research about Internet Identity on ICP. Follow the same procedure and take your time. Ask AI critical questions until you are comfortable and knowledgeable about Internet Identity. Most important of all: Before you create your internet identity, make sure you know everything about recovery options of your account and after creating your identity, set these recovery options up immediately. Don&#39;t postpone these steps and do it with a clear mind. When you create your identity, i highly recommend to use Web3-native authentication and avoid the optional Web2 auth (google, microsoft, apple, etc), because Web3 provides cryptographic privacy and prevents cross-app tracking. Once everything is in place, you can relax and you will experience the first time in your crypto life the flow state. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Timely-Fig2030 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/internet-identity-on-icp-is-a-true-game-changer</link><guid>878016</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Internet Identity on ICP is a true game changer</dc:text></item><item><title>BitGo (@BitGo) 86 likes · 15 replies</title><description><![CDATA[????????????

After several years of fighting debt and reestablishing my retirement, buying a house, and restocking safety funds I’m proud to say I finally received a bonus that didn’t “need” to be used. So it’s my absolute pressure to share with you all that I purchase 1/2 a BTC this morning.

I think this is completely wrong. A failed hardware wallet does not prove that self-custody is the mistake. The Coldcard crisis shows that controlling your keys doesn&#39;t automatically make the solution safe. A hardware wallet is still a product, and its entropy generation, firmware, components and recovery process can fail. Moving everything into an ETF avoids some personal key-management risks, but replaces them with institutional, legal and access risks. The real mistake in self-custody imo is treating any single device, seed or custodian as incapable of failure. For meaningful holdings, custody should be designed so that one failure cannot evaporate the entire position. Do you think this is a fair assessment, or am I missing something? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Myntad_com [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/this-doesnt-kill-self-custody-of-bitcoin</link><guid>878097</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>This doesn't kill self-custody of bitcoin</dc:text></item><item><title>Crypto rebound</title><description><![CDATA[crypto this year has been in what experts would call a &quot;shit show&quot; and has been dropping all year. while im hopeful for a rebound I have to ask the crypto experts, do you see a rebound in the foreseeable future, if so is their any idea or a timeframe of when we can expect it? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Northern_Money425 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/crypto-rebound</link><guid>878012</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Crypto rebound</dc:text></item><item><title>wtf ColdCard!! seriously?!</title><description><![CDATA[I had around 0.08 BTC / $5,000 stored on my Coldcard and that wasn’t even spare cash, it took me months to save. then I checked my wallet and saw &quot;amount lost&quot; gone fck! my seed was never online, the device stayed locked away, and I thought I did everything right.

It was so unbelievably bad that my whole body went through a feeling I never felt before. The creepy part is that there was no transaction in the history for that NFT. I found a burn address, so I sent the NFT there and burned it. The website I was using to look at the burn address showed that It was receiving other NFTs from other wallets aswell, however on the website the NFTs were blurred. So me being curious to see if its the same one I received, I copied the contract address of the NFT and searched it up on Tonviewer, and it was a picture 10x worse than the one I received. I never looked up to the ceiling so fast in my life before. I can confidently say that I am traumatized. I never knew receiving spam like this was possible. I won&#39;t describe the picture in the NFT because of how unpleasant it was, but it was human related. TL;DR My TON wallet received a horrifying human related picture NFT quietly, without even showing up as a transaction in my wallet. What can I do to avoid this? Is my only option creating a new wallet? But even then I feel like that won&#39;t avoid it. Edit: 8 hours after this post and burning the NFT, I received 2 more... And everytime I burn the NFT, I receive a new one.

I&#39;ve been a holder of BTC/ETH for years, got a Ledger Wallet a while ago and it&#39;s been sitting in my drawer. I decided I wanted to transfer some out so I got my Nano X out, entered my pin, and connected to my phone. Before I could transfer I had to do a mandatory firmware update, and had to connect to my desktop. It&#39;s been a while and recently got a new laptop so I forgot it was a dedicated app. Without really thinking I google Ledger Live and clicked on the first link, it looked like the real site and it said I needed to update my firmware which I did. I then clicked on the next step and forgot the only crypto rule. It was a screen to enter my 24 word phrase and I did. It took a me a few minutes to notice my mess up and saw my funds gone. Was pretty stunned and upset with myself. Filed with the IC3 but realize there is a 0% chance of getting it back but figured I share here for awareness even if it was completely obvious and also don&#39;t know what else to do.

He started pressuring me to send the stuff anyway, saying that crypto transactions are permanent, that hes in a rush, etc. I still insisted on waiting so he eventually ended up blocking me. Then the Bitcoin immediately disappeared from my wallet. Nothing even showed up in my transaction history. The only proof i have of ever recieving it is an Exodus notification and I screenshot I took.

It’s a pretty simple tool. Translates market data into plain English words saving users time analysing charts. We’ve had a few people disagree with this because “if people want to trade they should know how to read a chart” which is fair enough. But it can also be used as an education tool to put right next to a chart to understand what it shows and what it means. I work 40-50 hours a week, so of course I don’t have the time to trade like I use to have as a student. We built this for people who are in the same situation work, have a family or even just beginners. Question I have though, if you were presented a tool like this would you use it?

Then, hours after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ordered the former U.S. representative to pay $35,000 for manipulative trading, Santos fired off a social media broadside, vowing to shut down the prediction market platform, and accused it of hiding behind a “protection veil” of contract swaps to dodge gambling regulation. In response, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour shot back on X, saying the platform should be judged by its enemies: casinos, insider traders, and, now, Santos himself. The dustup came after it transpired that Santos, who received a pardon last year from President Trump, bet on a Kalshi contract that let users wager on whether he would show up for the State of the Union. Like other prediction markets, Kalshi lets users trade binary contracts on whether specific events will happen, paying out if they guess the right outcome. The platform, though, bars people from profiting on insider information—as was the case with Santos betting on whether he would attend the speech.

Trezor users: your funds are safe. Hi, On July 30, Coinkite disclosed an issue affecting wallets generated by certain versions of Coldcard firmware. Trezor devices are not affected. Coldcard’s issue relates to the way certain devices generate randomness when creating a wallet. Trezor does not use Coldcard’s firmware or code. Trezor generates wallets using multiple independent sources of randomness, including device hardware, the connected host and, on newer models, Secure Element chips. With our entropy check feature, you can also verify that your wallet backup is generated randomly. Who may need to take action You may be affected if: Your wallet was originally generated on an affected Coldcard device You later recovered or imported that same backup created on the Coldcard onto a Trezor Moving a wallet backup to a different device does not change the backup itself. If this applies to you, follow Coinkite’s official guidance and migrate your funds to a newly generated wallet backup as soon as possible. Take care to verify every step before moving funds. Please share this information with anyone you know who may use a Coldcard hardware wallet. Stay alert for scams Security events often lead to phishing attempts designed to create fear and urgency. Please remember: Never share your wallet backup, aka recovery seed (12/20/24 words) Only enter your wallet backup directly on your Trezor device during recovery Trezor will never contact you asking for your wallet backup Do not follow wallet-migration instructions from unsolicited emails, messages or phone calls If you are not affected, you do not need to take any immediate action. Stay secure,&quot; &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/paco_1987 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/trezor-just-woke-up-and-alerted-its-users-by-this-email</link><guid>877933</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Trezor just woke up and alerted its users by this email</dc:text></item><item><title>Wanted to share this great painting I just finished, don't know why it coincided with the current situation!

Physical Bitcoins are collectible coins with a private key hidden under a hologram sticker on the back. If you peel off the hologram, you can access the cryptocurrency—but doing so destroys the coin&#39;s value as a collectible. Only 8,352 of these brass coins were ever made, making them rare. The same auction also sold an unredeemed 0.5 Bitcoin coin from 2016 for $34,160. Only 900 of those were produced.

A 330K lesson for all.</title><description><![CDATA[I was orange pilled back in 2021 and I was stacking hard ever since. I had managed to accumulate 5,13 BTC, something I was very proud of. Not so much for myself, but for the future of my daughter. And that&#39;s the only thought that brings me to tears, that one day handing 5+ BTC to my daughter is not gonna happen. I was stacking in all ways possible, mining, salary percentage straight to auto-accumulate, end of year bonus --&gt; BTC, family gifts --&gt; BTC. I even took a loan against by 401K a few months back. You can say my mouth was where my money was. I was so &quot;proud&quot; thinking that I only have a house loan at the bank. But everything was stolen today due to the coldcard exploit and the thing is that it seems to me this is how it was supposed to happen. I had created a new seed using an MK3 that funny enough my orange piller bought me as a Christmas gift in December of 2021. I had some BTC at the time, maybe ~1 in other wallets and I thought it would be safer to safeguard them with a coldcard. Over the years I kept accumulating and sending over to my coldcard addresses. I only signed a TX once to make sure it works and a small gift to my mom. When I created the new seed, I split into two parts and marked it on two steel plates. I had one part of the seed with me in the US and one in my home country. I also had two MK3, one with me, one back home. Both of them are time locked because wrench attacks lol. About a month ago, I decided it would be safer to store the second part of the seed in a bank vault back home and I did that. The vault could be accessed by myself and my father. However, my father was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago and has been hospitalized ever since. His operation was supposed to happen last week but he was not ready and it is rescheduled for this Thursday. So instead of coming back to visit on Tuesday as it was originally planned I flew out on Friday night. Thursday night I saw the security notice and I immediately called my brother to get my coldcard, power it on and get the timer working backwards. With my father in the hospital and me in the US, there was no way of getting into the vault. I also tried with claude/codex/glm to beat the attackers by basically hacking my private key first as maybe knowing the first half of the seed or XPUB could help. As you can imagine, that didn&#39;t happen. Claude however did set up a live monitor on the mempool I run on my computer for on-chain analytics because wasting money was not enough. For 48 hours I did not get a message and I had a glimmer of hope. Last night however I could not sleep and I was thinking that maybe if I call enough people someone could be able to help me get to the vault on a Sunday. Unlikely but I had to try. At 7am I got the telegram notification and that shattered me. But not just that, it made me feel shameful for what happened to me. I also felt as lonely as ever being away from my wife and daughter. I wish I could be with them. Up until 3 days ago I thought I had done everything right. And yes some people will say but you didn&#39;t roll a dice, why you didn&#39;t use a passphrase, why not split it in 5 wallets. I didn&#39;t and frankly speaking I shouldn&#39;t have to and maybe that could also lead to other vulnerabilities (roll the dice but coldcard is like meh, i am just gonna use the python library instead). My biggest mistake was placing trust in a 3rd party. Which again is a rabbit hole on its own. In society we trust 3rd parties for basically everything, food, water, cars, airplanes, the list is endless. The saddest part however is that when I visited my father today I couldn&#39;t be there for him. I just didn&#39;t have the strength. I put a brave face on but inside I was empty. This is my first and probably last post, I just want to share with the world what happened, forget about it and put on my big boy pants tomorrow for my family. Today I saw online a new term, aura farming and if there is such a thing, yes I want all the aura farm I can get. Not for myself but for my father. Wish us luck! Update 1: I am keeping the above draft version as originally written. Today is the second day and I am at the &#39;feeling angry&#39; step of grief. Angry mostly at myself but also a bit towards the community. Don&#39;t take me wrong, I take full responsibility. However, what happened shook me to the core and made me rethink everything. First of all I realized that no one knows anything including myself. I was also appalled by some of the responses by other bitcoiners: - You didn&#39;t roll a dice, what did you expect? No passphrase? What were you even thinking? No seal of blood on your entropy generation? Pfff - Last bull run started after the FTX crash, LFG! - Nothing stops this train, whatever ever doesn&#39;t kill us makes us stronger - Hardware wallets are a marketing scam - We will get through this together. (be honest, we are not) I am not gonna say much on the above, but two things: What I saw the last 3 days is no longer a community that represents me and also guys.. read the room. People lost everything and years of effort just vanished. Personally, I didn&#39;t just lose my safety net, I think a part of me died yesterday. I don&#39;t even know if I want to be in crypto or do anything with btc any more. What two days ago seemed like a life mission today seems like a very foolish action. There are a few thoughts I would like to share, both for the victims and the rest of the holders. Theoretically speaking, it takes a billion years to crack a 24 seed phrase so if you are thinking why I didn&#39;t use a passphrase or roll the dice, don&#39;t beat yourself up. Even today I don&#39;t think I needed more than 1 billion years of compute power protection to also add a passphrase. Yes I had one seed phrase but two Mk3, split seed and timelocks on devices. In theory I should be okay. But what I really had was 1.5 words of seed phrase. And here is what everyone needs to start reconsidering. Coldcard was open source, the bug was there for 5 years. People who were sworn by it, either never read the code or didn&#39;t have the ability to understand it. So open source is simply a false sense of security. People claiming that rolling the dice would have saved you, might be true for the specific exploit. It doesn&#39;t mean there isn&#39;t a wallet out there that took your randomly generated perfectly created dice outcome and did nothing with it. That is another false sense of security. People claim that multisig is the way, but that comes with its own challenges and risks. Suddenly everyone is an expert on the topic but where was everyone 1 week ago educating and screaming about any of this? Which brings me back to my challenge everything state of mind. Some of my favorite slogans in the space: Not your keys, not your crypto Get your BTC off the exchanges Sell your kidney if you must You can never have enough bitcoin Hadn&#39;t this happened I would have probably tattooed those phrases on my chest. But today I am rethinking.. why? Why wasn&#39;t 1 BTC or 2 BTC or 3 BTC enough for me? Suddenly, having cash in the bank seems like a good deal. 3rd party custody with a regulated exchange? Awesome! S&amp;P500? Even better! Real estate? Best thing ever. I got greedy and with greed comes hubris. Take it from someone who went all in and thought he had everything figured out and covered. Reconsider everything, how you store your coins, your investments, your diversification, everything. When FTX happened I was not directly affected, I just felt the market pain. I was naive thinking, well this is why I self custody, this won&#39;t happen to me. If you saw the coldcard exploit and thought this won&#39;t happen to me, please think again. BTC even today feels like the best risk/reward investment one could enter but the chances of going to 0 because an AI in 5 years will figure out something no one has so far, are not 0. So maybe I won&#39;t give my daughter 5BTC, what I can give her today is time, love and attention and those are irreplaceable. I might get back to 5BTC one day (who am I kidding) but you never get back lost time. Seeing my father suffering today just brought me back to reality. It was just numbers on the screen, surely the screen now reads 0 but I still have my loved ones around. Seize the day and don&#39;t trust anyone, even yourself. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Affectionate_Tea3401 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/your-keys-not-your-crypto-a-330k-lesson-for-all</link><guid>877823</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Your keys, not your crypto.

Updating the firmware alone is not enough if your wallet was initialized with affected firmware. Users must generate a brand-new seed phrase and move their funds to a new wallet. Reusing the old seed on another device does not fix the issue. Ledger says this vulnerability is specific to the affected Coldcard firmware and does not affect Ledger devices. The incident is a reminder that secure seed generation is critical for any hardware wallet, and users should keep firmware up to date and follow good security practices. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/jonathansj [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/ledger-article-on-the-coldcard-incident-and-why-ledger-is-still-safe</link><guid>877822</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Ledger article on the Coldcard incident and why ledger is still safe</dc:text></item><item><title>Two crypto exchanges left Brazil, 26M users didn't</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/imskykru [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/two-crypto-exchanges-left-brazil-26m-users-didnt</link><guid>877840</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Two crypto exchanges left Brazil, 26M users didn't</dc:text></item><item><title>So, blackrock chose ethereum to launch their tokenized money market</title><description><![CDATA[ BlackRock has launched a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum The fund invests in cash, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and repurchase agreements (repos), just like a traditional money market fund.

The interesting part is not moving the coins. The blockchain is public, the addresses are known, and every transaction leaves a permanent record. The real question is: How could an attacker turn such a large amount of BTC into fiat money without exposing themselves? I came up with two theoretical ideas and would like to hear what people with more knowledge about blockchain forensics think. The first idea would be extreme fragmentation. The attacker could split the BTC across millions of wallets and create a huge amount of transaction activity. The idea would be to make the connection between the original stolen coins and any future conversion into fiat much harder to establish. Would something like this actually make forensic tracking significantly harder, or would analysts still be able to identify patterns because the entire transaction history remains visible? The second idea would be cooperation with a powerful external actor, for example a state actor or organization with its own infrastructure and resources. Instead of trying to solve the problem only through technical methods, the attacker could rely on an entity with different capabilities and incentives. Would something like this actually solve the problem of converting stolen BTC into usable wealth, or would the transparent nature of Bitcoin still make it difficult? I am curious what others think. What other options would a sophisticated attacker consider? Do these ideas make sense from a forensic perspective, or am I missing important factors? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/quantumdot44 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/a-forensic-question-about-the-coldcard-attacker-how-could-someone-actually-cash-out-hundreds-of-btc</link><guid>877821</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>A forensic question about the Coldcard attacker: how could someone actually cash out hundreds of BTC?</dc:text></item><item><title>USDT vs USDC for business payments - does it actually matter which one you use?</title><description><![CDATA[Setting up crypto payouts for contractors and trying to decide whether to standardize on USDT or USDC.

The Pinto&#39;s design cycle was hurried and unfortunately shipped containing a design defect where the fuel tank was positioned too close behind the rear axle of the car. This design made the car vulnerable to rear end collisions and greatly increased the likelihood of the fuel tank being punctured by the rear axle during a crash, causing the vehicle to catch fire and even explode. To make matters worse, Ford allegedly became aware of the defect, but decided (in a later discovered memo) that it would be cheaper to settle wrongful death and injury lawsuits, than to fix the cars. As it turns out, the defect did cause injury and death, and after years of investigations and lawsuits, Ford was eventually found civilly liable (Grimshaw v. Ford) for the engineering defect and was forced to pay punitive damages to its victims. They were also charged criminally for the burn deaths of three teenagers in 1978, but were acquitted on those charges in 1980. They ended up recalling 1.5 million vehicles affected by the defect, that its own engineers claimed would have only cost only $11 to retrofit. It remains one of the most commonly taught case studies in business schools today. There is much more to the Ford Pinto case if you are interested, but the main reason I am sharing this story is to illustrate that when a product is used as intended, at a certain point liability must shift from the user to the manufacturer. People who purchased Ford Pintos in the 70s had a reasonable expectation that the fuel tank was designed with safety in mind and wouldn&#39;t spontaneous combust from a common fender bender. Likewise, Coldcard users had a reasonable expectation that the seed generation tool developed for their device would produce adequate entropy on par with industry standards in Bitcoin/cryptography. They should not be expected to audit every line of code to check for errors, just like Ford Pinto owners should not have been expected to measure the distance between their fuel tank and rear axle before driving the car. We have this tendency in Bitcoin to be overzealous when it comes to personal responsibility/accountability. I do not think that&#39;s a bad thing per se, but there HAS to be a point where a user can reasonably say they did everything in their power to prevent something like this from happening. At SOME point, the liability for a commercial product to prevent damages must fall on the company and its engineers who designed the product, even if open source. I think Coldcard users being expected to understand how to read code, much less review it and locate such a defect, is as unreasonable as expecting people to measure the distance between their fuel tank and axle. My condolences go out to all who are affected. This should have NEVER happened to coins in cold storage. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MysteriousKitchen469 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/blaming-coldcard-users-for-the-entropy-vulnerability-wrongly-shifts-liability-away-from-coinkite</link><guid>877819</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Blaming Coldcard users for the entropy vulnerability wrongly shifts liability away from Coinkite</dc:text></item><item><title>i got a coldcard last week, am i suppose to throw it away?</title><description><![CDATA[Sorry for the noob question, i have been using blue wallet for last year or so.

I just can’t seem to get it out of my head that the victims did absolutely nothing wrong. Next thought is obviously, “are my sats safe?” (using one of the current cold storage giants) For someone like me, who is the farthest thing from a blockchain expert I wonder if it’s even worth the 1 in 1 million chance at this point. Yes, I believe in self custody. I’ve read The Bitcoin Standard. I like the idea of changing the financial system for the better. What I don’t want to do is worry about a significant percentage of my small net worth being drained by a technology I don’t even fully understand.. I don’t want to have to jump through hoops in a world I don’t feel fully comfortable with if there is an alternative.. As much as I believe in self custody, I mainly invest in Bitcoin because I believe the value will increase.. I already own shares of IBIT in a Roth IRA. Why not just sell my sats and reinvest the money into shares of IBIT in my taxable brokerage? Looking for real answers here. I know this community can get passionate and I get that. I’m just an average Joe here looking for how other average Joe’s are feeling, as well as some input from the experts!

During the FTX collapse, I lost over $2 million USD. The cascade triggered margin calls, then liquidation. In what felt like an instant, six years of stacking disappeared. (Can send proof to mods if needed) I remember the disbelief, the anger, the sleepless nights, and asking myself, &quot;What now?&quot; Here&#39;s what I learned: money can disappear overnight, but your knowledge, your work ethic, your experience, and your ability to rebuild cannot be liquidated. If you were affected by Coldcard&#39;s wallet exploit, I&#39;m genuinely sorry. Don&#39;t make irreversible decisions because of a financial loss. Reach out to family, friends, or your community. Take a breath. The charts will move again. Opportunities will come again. Your portfolio is not your identity. Your net worth is not your self-worth. Tomorrow, the sun will rise again.

This week showed what happens when the flaw sits inside the wallet itself. A firmware bug that&#39;s been shipping in Coldcard devices since 2021 let an attacker guess supposedly random seed phrases from the outside, no physical access, no phishing, no malware required, and drain funds from thousands of addresses. The running total is already past $88 million, and it&#39;s still climbing. A flaw in Coldcard&#39;s firmware has put the spotlight on a basic part of wallet security: how the device generates its seed in the first place. The issue came into focus after an attacker drained 1,196 Bitcoin addresses on July 30 in a 41-minute stretch, taking 1,082.65 BTC worth about $70.2 million at the time. Galaxy Research tied the sweep to Coldcard, the Bitcoin-only hardware wallet line made by Coinkite, and said the pattern matched a firmware problem rather than a random event. Two more waves have surfaced since, and Galaxy&#39;s running total now stands at 1,367.05 BTC, worth about $88.6 million, across 4,585 addresses. The firm describes that as a preliminary observed figure that could still climb as it traces more on-chain activity. The problem goes back to a March 2021 firmware integration error. Instead of using the STM32 hardware random number generator, affected devices fell back to a deterministic software pseudorandom number generator when creating seeds. That matters because seed generation is supposed to produce output that cannot be guessed or reconstructed.” &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ThePrince1856 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/a-coldcard-firmware-flaw-let-hackers-drain-70-million-in-bitcoin-in-41-minutes-with-losses-now-topping-88-million</link><guid>877610</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>A Coldcard firmware flaw let hackers drain $70 million in Bitcoin in 41 minutes, with losses now topping $88 million</dc:text></item><item><title>ColdCard: You’ll never hurt me again!</title><description><![CDATA[ My seed used with this device was strong and I was unaffected by the security flaw in the RNG setup.

How could they possibly have disclosed it responsibly, given that weak seeds had already been generated? A public warning would immediately create a race between legitimate owners and attackers (as happened in reality). Because the firmware source code is openly available, even a vague warning like “Coldcard-generated seeds may be vulnerable; move your BTC immediately” would immediately tell attackers where to look for the vulnerability and then exploit it. You could instead warn Coinkite privately, but that would not solve the underlying problem. Even assuming Coinkite could be trusted to handle the information properly, it would have no better way to protect affected owners. It would eventually have to issue a public warning, creating the same race. “Silently” patching the vulnerability would effectively be the same as publicizing it, as the patch itself would identify the flaw. Another alternative would be for the white-hat to sweep all the vulnerable funds first, but then how could they return them? Once the flaw is public, a signature from the compromised key no longer proves legitimate ownership, since an attacker can derive the same key. Remaining silent would probably be the worst option, because more vulnerable seeds would continue to be generated. There do not seem to be any good options here, but what would the least bad approach have been? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/2_plus_2_equals_5 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/how-could-the-coldcard-vulnerability-have-been-disclosed-responsibly</link><guid>877498</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>How could the Coldcard vulnerability have been disclosed responsibly?</dc:text></item><item><title>I found a thread from 2022 where several Cold Card owners had their wallets drained.

Applying it to the vulnerable search space in the ColdCard bug (Following reports that search space was reduced to 2^32, approx 4 billion) 50% collision odds ≈ √(2 × 4.3 billion) ≈ 93,000 ColdCard Wallet Generated Seeds. If this bug was somehow never discovered and Coldcard sold around 93k units that generated a seed on the vulnerable firmware, there would be a 50% chance that two innocent, unaware people would end up with the exact same seed phrase, and by extension every bitcoin address derived from it, giving each other access to the others funds.

Wishing speedy recovery of funds for everyone involved. Lessons learned for the rest: Hardware wallets - were always a vector of a possible attack. Just like you can&#39;t trust 100% your ISP, your PC and your phone, same goes for hardware wallet. To protect yourself, always use a passphrase. It makes these kinds of exploits million times more difficult, if not impossible. If you have any significant funds, you must have a passphrase. If you don&#39;t, you haven&#39;t done your homework. Coldcard is the only wallet that was impacted by the seed-generation issue, you are perfectly fine if you didn&#39;t create a seed on Coldcard. Trezor, Ledger and other wallets don&#39;t share the same firmware as Coldcard. I wouldn&#39;t recommend Coldcard at this point but the device itself, as far as we know, is still perfectly fine but you need to realize that company is most likely going out of business, so won&#39;t be getting much support or updates from them after this. Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle and other firms had bugs in their code that allowed people to steal stuff. Coinkite had a bug in the code as well that allowed a nasty exploit. Bitcoin doesn&#39;t have a bug in its code. Self-custody is not for everyone. If it is easier for you to let someone else manage keys, you can/should explore those options. But companies and governments fail and it happened many times in the past as well, so nothing in life is 100% guaranteed. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Apprehensive-Sky9723 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/no-bitcoin-project-is-not-dead</link><guid>877502</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>No, bitcoin project is not dead</dc:text></item><item><title>There Is No Second Best</title><description><![CDATA[ Don’t trust, verify.

Some key takeaways: Galaxy Digital estimates roughly 7 million BTC, worth about $470 billion, are held in addresses with exposed public keys. Researchers continue to reduce estimates for the quantum resources required to attack today&#39;s public-key cryptography. Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake estimates a 10% probability by 2032 that a quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key from an exposed public key. Bitcoin developers are debating how a post-quantum migration should work, highlighting that the challenge is now being taken seriously. The article also highlights several approaches being explored across the industry. Besides migration proposals for existing blockchains, it mentions projects already built around post-quantum cryptography, including Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL), Algorand and BTQ, alongside newer companies developing quantum-safe solutions. To me, the most interesting takeaway is that quantum-safe crypto is no longer a niche topic. It is becoming an increasingly important part of the conversation around the future of blockchain security. If quantum computing continues to advance on its current trajectory, networks that already use standardized post-quantum cryptography, or have a credible path to adopting it, could have a significant long-term advantage. We&#39;re witnessing the early stages of one of the biggest security transitions in computing history. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ChillerID [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-quantum-threat-the-race-to-quantum-proof-crypto</link><guid>877506</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin Quantum Threat: The Race To Quantum-Proof Crypto</dc:text></item><item><title>Use case of layer-1 blockchains</title><description><![CDATA[99% of layer-1 blockchain Q&amp;A: Q: What is the usecase of layer-1 blockchains?

For most people that&#39;s a reasonable trust tradeoff. But you don&#39;t have to make it. You can generate a BIP39 seed entirely from physical dice: - 99 rolls of a standard 6-sided die ≈ 256 bits of entropy → a 24-word seed. - 50 rolls ≈ 128 bits → a 12-word seed. The math: each roll gives you log2(6) ≈ 2.585 bits. 99 × 2.585 ≈ 256. BIP39 adds a checksum on top, which is where the last word comes from — you compute it once, offline, or let an air-gapped device like a SeedSigner derive it. Why bother? You control the entropy source. Dice have no firmware, no supply chain, no update mechanism. You can audit them by rolling a few hundred times and checking the distribution. The seed is born offline. It&#39;s generated on paper, in a room with no cameras, and only ever touches an air-gapped device after that. Tampered-device and bad-RNG concerns just evaporate. It forces you to understand what a seed actually is — a big number, not a magical artifact of your wallet brand. That understanding changes how you think about backups, passphrases and multisig. I wrote up the full procedure (including how to compute the checksum, common mistakes like reusing dice patterns, and how to verify the result on an air-gapped device) as part of a free self-custody guide: https://self-custody.cc/ — the Dice Seeds section. No ads, nothing for sale, EN/DE/ES.

I went with Coldcard because it was marketed as “ultra-secure.” I knew multisig was technically safer. I wasn’t worried about my key being guessed… I was worried about someone physically stealing it or it being destroyed. So that was the plan: 1 BTC, cold storage, steel plate backup, fire bag, fire safe. And then… wait. I hit the goal. I finally felt content. Now I just feel embarrassed. Like I let my family down. The worst part? I know Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere.

It has left me stunned and I feel terrible for everyone who has lost their hard earned BTC. After thinking about it consistently since it happened, I believe this case is challenging the concept of Bitcoin in its core and I&#39;m curious how others look at it. Let&#39;s have an honest discussion about what it means for the future of the space. Here are my main points: This is totally different from most other cases, because the affected users didn&#39;t do anything wrong. It was a complete fuck up on Coldcard&#39;s side. For years we told ourselves self storage is the only way, never leave it on the exchanges, not your keys not your coins, don&#39;t trust verify etc. But in the end you have to trust something or someone, in this case the people behind CC. Now everyone says Ledger or Tresor is safe just because they were not the ones affected. How do you actually know this? You would have said the same thing about CC a few days ago. The danger of AI is absolutely real and will only increase. Without knowing the method in this case, it&#39;s likely that some form of AI was involved. The code for CC was not open source, but still viewable by everyone. It&#39;s mind-blowing that it took several years for the flaw to be discovered and exploited. Don&#39;t expect this to take so long next time. I&#39;m not an expert in coding or cryptography, most users aren&#39;t. So in the end you just have to trust the code. Sure, it can be tested with AI too. But do I really want to expose all my holdings to this battle just hoping that it will be fine in the end? It feels way too risky and out of your control. Mass adoption is absolutely not going to happen this way. I&#39;m a nerd and enjoy the technical side of it, but even I feel overwhelmed by this. The average person is much less interested and willing to put in the work. For years we&#39;ve been saying good solutions for self storage, payments and so on will be found. I don&#39;t see it. It seems to become more complicated than less. So what&#39;s the alternative here? Keeping it on the exchange, buying an ETF? It doesn&#39;t solve the trust issue and contradicts pretty much everything Bitcoin stands for. Just another asset class among many. I still love the idea behind Bitcoin and believe in the concept. But I struggle to find good and honest answers to these points without just repeating the same old mantras we&#39;ve been telling ourselves.

This meant they needed to replace GPL license crypto libraries, it is this refactoring that created the opportunity for them to screw up. Because of their corporate greed that decided to do this rather than continuing to build features on top of true OSS licenses. Body of tweet: Regarding the Coldcard entropy bug – many folks are explaining what happened but I wanted to take a minute to explain why it may have happened. It&#39;s a disastrous situation and our heart goes out to all the Bitcoiners affected. Here&#39;s a timeline of events: On July 28 2020: @FOUNDATION announced our first Passport hardware wallet and noted that we were building on Coldcard firmware which at the time was GPLv3 licensed (FOSS license). On July 30 2020: NVK publicly said he regretted choosing GPL because Coldcard now had a “clone” and that they would change things in future updates. https://x.com/nvk/status/128 8860345864527874 On November 18 2020: Coldcard added its MIT + Commons Clause license, prohibiting commercial products substantially derived from the software. https://github.com/Coldcard/firmw are/commit/b6b9191145d37fbb6d754597350653141596dd12 On January 8, 2021: Coldcard firmware 3.2.1 formally announced, “License changed from GPL to MIT+CC on files for which the GPL doesn’t apply.” CC is the &quot;Commons Clause&quot; license addendum which is &quot;source available&quot; instead of FOSS. On March 1, 2021: The “First pass w/ libNgU” commit removed the GPL @Trezor-derived crypto libraries and replaced them with libNgU. That same 120-file commit changed seed generation code. libNgU was licensed with a novel “Licensed for Bitcoin Only” license. On March 17, 2021: Version 4.0.0 announced that all crypto and BIP39 code had been replaced and that the “last remaining GPL code” was removed. https://blog.coinkite.com/version-4.0.0- released/ https://github.com/Coldcard/firmw are/blob/b18723dddb6d751c39978e4364b56b2414f68b47/releases/ChangeLog.md#L12 Our best understanding right now is that the entropy bug was collateral damage from this major overhaul of the codebase. To be clear, this overhaul was not solely about licensing. Coldcard also cited technical goals including adopting Bitcoin Core’s libsecp256k1, faster AES and SHA implementations, and reproducible builds. But the timeline establishes two things: (1) Foundation’s launch was the obvious impetus for Coldcard’s licensing change, and (2) removing the remaining GPL code was an explicit goal of the subsequent v4 rewrite. We don&#39;t know by how much the licensing pressure affected the scope or timeline of the rewrite. All we can determine is that the entropy bug was introduced inside the same 120-file commit that removed the old GPL code dependencies. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Strong_Judge_3730 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/attempting-to-remove-oss-licenses-is-why-coldcard-firmware-became-vulnerable</link><guid>877403</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Attempting to remove OSS licenses is why coldcard firmware became vulnerable</dc:text></item><item><title>Use a strong Passphrase with your wallets</title><description><![CDATA[ Think of a seed phrase as a random specific coordinate on Earth that has your Bitcoin The default seed coordinate is ground level dirt where your treasure can be seen and stolen easily A passphrase is a skyscraper built on top of that coordinate with another key required to get into the building and your treasure is in the penthouse suite (if you have a strong passphrase) Without a passphrase, a hacker that has your seed can see the amount of Bitcoin on that coordinate and can be stolen (e.g. 1.5 bitcoin) Instead move that 1.5 bitcoin to a passphrase wallet built on top of that seed With a passphrase, the hacker goes to the default seed coordinates and not only can he not steal it, he doesnt even see the BTC amount that you have in the passphrase wallet.

It supports dice roll to add to the random generation as well as pass phrase. It&#39;s a completely off-line tool and in clear HTML so you or your trusted AI tool can check if there is any suspicious about it. Download here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xtg55IQSC83Ws1guvot0eYr6il7lcz8Z/view?usp=drive\_link Just make sure you have a clean PC and go off-line for extra precautions. Download from my link above in case someone decides to change the code. Always get the HTML checked if downloading a fresh copy anyway. Edit: here is the Github link . https://github.com/gatsey2026-png/bip39-seed-tool github link Please use as a testing and familiarity tool with seed generation if you wish to exercise extreme caution.

The satire deliberately exaggerated the point, but I would like to discuss the underlying concern seriously here. As a full disclosure, I am very skeptical of cryptocurrencies in general, but I find it interesting to follow. My concern is not that the Bitcoin protocol itself is easy to hack.With self-custody, possession of the private key effectively determines control of the money. That provides genuine independence from intermediaries, but it also transfers a large collection of responsibilities from financial institutions to individual users. A person holding a meaningful amount must potentially think about: Malware and compromised computers or phones Phishing and fraudulent wallet interfaces Malicious or compromised transaction addresses Hardware-wallet and supply-chain risks Secure creation and storage of seed phrases Fire, flooding, theft and accidental destruction Password or passphrase loss Backups that are both redundant and inaccessible to thieves Firmware and software updates Physical coercion or kidnapping Recovery after incapacity Inheritance without giving heirs premature access The official Bitcoin guidance itself recommends measures such as multiple secure backup locations, encrypted backups, offline storage, hardware wallets, software updates, multisignature arrangements and an inheritance plan. Bitcoin Core also gives users a wallet-responsibility checklist that includes backups, cold storage, monitoring security notifications and ensuring heirs can recover the funds. These are reasonable recommendations. The problem is that, taken together, they resemble a simplified institutional key-management program. Professional organizations treat cryptographic key management as an entire discipline involving policies, defined responsibilities, backup, recovery, compromise procedures, lifecycle management and documented security practices. NIST has hundreds of pages of guidance on this subject. Most ordinary users cannot realistically audit their wallet software, evaluate firmware, design a robust multisignature arrangement or test an inheritance procedure without introducing another vulnerability. I recognize the counterargument. Self-custody can be extremely valuable for people facing capital controls, political repression, unstable institutions or exclusion from financial services. Some users also knowingly accept the operational burden because censorship resistance matters more to them than recoverability, but that use case seems tiny, similar to TOR. That is not what the current valuations we see are based on. People expect mass adoption. I believe mass adoption necessarily means that most people interact with cryptocurrency through regulated custodians and other institutions, effectively rebuilding much of the banking infrastructure that cryptocurrency was supposed to replace. However, centralization makes cryptocurrencies pointless. You might as well use a database, or some kind of centralized standard like SWIFT used by thousands of institutions to send money. Obviously, most people here believe in cryptocurrencies. How do you solve the contradiction in my previous paragraph?

Trying to gauge if it’s worth it or are you better off just doing futures? Same thing applies: lose 5% and you lose your buy in, once you pass the “test” phase you’re amplifying your profits while limiting your potential loss to whatever your buy in was. Currently doing the 5k one for 2 weeks. Still on the test phase with 8.9% gain. Need 12% gain to go into real money. One thing iv learned: Im definitely not great at day trading. 2% up, 2% up, 3% down, 2% up, 2% down etc… The pros with it: -you’re limited on how much you can lose with your buy in. -If you play your hands carefully you can potentially make a decent profit. -if you have a tendency to gamble or trade for fun, it’s ideal for entertainment purposes. A small sum of money can keep you trading for a long time. The cons: -Once you lose 5% you’re out whereas you need to gain 12% to be in. -if you’re already decent at day/swing trading, you may be better off just doing futures and not having to give 20% to kraken. -once you are in the “real” money, it starts over again you’re back to 0% PNL. Basically removing anything you had built up and giving you another opportunity to lose the 5%! -With the sum involved(5/10k), one bad trade could easily knock you out! Anyway, just interested in hearing opinions/strategies or wondering if I missed something… I like the concept of it but it’s one of those things”if it sounds too good to be true…”. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Legitimate-Key-3044 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/anyone-here-using-kraken-funded</link><guid>877272</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Anyone here using kraken funded?</dc:text></item><item><title>My condolences to ColdCard victims - spurs a paper wallet question.</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Obvious-Shop-6260 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/my-condolences-to-coldcard-victims-spurs-a-paper-wallet-question</link><guid>877278</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>My condolences to ColdCard victims - spurs a paper wallet question.</dc:text></item><item><title>I am so glad I moved all my BTC to exchanges years ago, after a nearly a decade of stress with cold storage.</title><description><![CDATA[I had hardware wallets, I have all my BTC on Ledger for a long time. And every time there was a firmware update, I had a heart attack. Every time the software updated and I had to relog in, I panicked. Every time I had to re-download the BTC app, I sweated through my shirt hoping my BTC would show back up. I hoped my device wouldn&#39;t short out or fail. I realized I couldn&#39;t use any USB-C on the device, that was a tough day, I thought I lost access to my Ledger. I was praying the business wouldn&#39;t go under, blocking access even for an instant. I worried about someone stealing my Ledger, my phrases. I prayed every time I made a transaction because it was all on me with basically no re-course. And now, It&#39;s all on Coinbase and Robinhood. I was not hacked this weekend, nor will I be. I have all my funds available right now, and I&#39;m not losing any sleep. Please stop overthinking this, you&#39;re not some dark web hacker who needs to be able to go-bag your BTC and escape to Argentina under the cover of night under complete anonymity assuming you&#39;ll never log into your old accounts again.

First were exchanges, now dumbass human mistakes on hardware wallet makers. What things from now on will become important now that hardware wallets have shown its catastrophic consequences? Multisignature wallets, entropy, how to verify downloaded binaries, if having considerable amounts of bitcoin to not have it in a single wallet. But how to make this more accessible to non tech people? From now on, I think the hardware wallet vendors should enforce custom entropy steps, not as an option but as a step required, NOT OPTIONAL, BUT A REQUIRED ONE. If people do not understand this, the hardware wallet should not allow the wallet creation, TRUST IS LOST NOW on hardware wallets, so the only way in a product, and more specific in something as critical as a product that will store wealth, is NOT TO ASSUME your users will use the product correctly, is to PROTECT THEM BY DESIGN to not do the mistake.

But after seeing so many people lose years of savings while using hardware wallets, I’ve completely changed my mind. What really gets me is that many of these people weren’t being reckless. They bought reputable hardware wallets, moved their coins off exchanges because that’s what the crypto community tells everyone to do, and genuinely believed they were following best practices. Then one day their wallets were empty, and there was nothing they could do. At least if someone steals my XRP off coinbase, maybe Coinbase can help me. If anything, exchanges are now safer at this point! I know some of these cases could have been caused by user error, compromised seed phrases, or other security mistakes. But that’s exactly the problem. If one mistake or one security lapse you don’t even realize happened can permanently wipe out years of savings with no customer support, no fraud protection, and no way to recover your money, that’s not a level of risk I’m willing to accept. I’ve reached the point where I’m done with crypto and done defending it. I’d rather invest in assets that have safeguards and don’t require perfect security practices just to avoid losing everything. Maybe Bitcoin isn’t for me anymore. Seeing story after story of people who thought they were doing everything right and still ended up losing life-changing amounts of money was enough to change my opinion. I’m curious if anyone else has had the same change of heart. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/yourfavoritepenguin7 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/im-done-with-crypto-after-seeing-what-keeps-happening-to-people</link><guid>877266</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I’m done with crypto after seeing what keeps happening to people</dc:text></item><item><title>Victim of the Coldcard. Years of DCA Bitcoin gone overnight</title><description><![CDATA[Hi, Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. I found out that just over 3 BTC was stolen from me through the Coldcard vulnerability. I know some people think posts like this are fake. Mine isn’t. Real people are getting hurt by these thieves. I did what I thought was the responsible thing. Back in 2022 everyone said the same stuff, get it off exchanges, get it into cold storage, use the best hardware wallet you can. Coldcard had a reputation as one of the best. It wasn’t the easiest thing to use but honestly that kind of made me trust it more. So I moved everything onto it. For years I DCA’d $250 a week, plus bigger amounts when I could. Never touched it, never even checked on it. I thought I was doing the smart, boring, responsible thing. Now it’s just gone. All of it. Looking back I probably should’ve split it across wallets, or maybe just left it on Coinbase. I already know the multisig and don’t put it all in one place comments are coming and yeah, that’s probably good advice. But I did what I thought was right at the time based on what everyone in this space was telling me to do. That’s what makes this sting so bad. I’m angry and honestly feel sick about it. Not sure what to do next. Posting this so people know it’s actually happening to real people.

I had 3.533382 BTC that i moved into my Coldcard because everyone always says hardware wallets are the safest. I thought i was doing everything right and taking security serious. 2 days ago, i checked my wallet and it was just gone. All 3.533382 BTC gone. I kept refreshing thinking maybe it was some bug or something but nope. The transaction was already confirmed and there was nothing i could do. I honestly dont even know what went wrong. Ive been replaying everything i did over and over in my head trying to figure it out. I barely slept since it happend. That wasnt just money to me, it was years of saving little by little. Im not posting this for pity, just because i honestly feel sick and i dont want anyone else going through this if they can avoid it. If anyone has any idea what could of happend im open to hearing it because right now im completely lost. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Omniknight111 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/lost-it-all</link><guid>877255</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Lost it all</dc:text></item><item><title>Sealed Coldcard MK3.</title><description><![CDATA[ I was too lazy to set it up...

Irony at its finest.</title><description><![CDATA[Just wanted to put out a serious warning for anyone updating their Coldcard Mk4 to fix the recent RNG/seed generation vulnerability. I followed Coinkite&#39;s urgent advisory to the letter: updated to the new hotfix firmware 5.6.0, wiped my old seed, and generated a brand-new one. I even tested it, created two BIP-39 passphrases, and everything seemed fine at first. But then, the premium &quot;Don&#39;t Trust, Verify&quot; experience kicked in. While I was testing the passphrases—literally just entering the words and clicking apply—the device threw a critical MicroPython software crash error pointing directly to `seed.py` and another method. To be precise, I had done this exact same process successfully several times just before it happened, so it doesn&#39;t look completely deterministic, but the bug is definitely present and lurking in the code. I had to power cycle it, and guess what? The screen now permanently reads &quot;BRICKED&quot;. No recovery mode, no factory reset, just a hundreds-of-dollars paperweight. I bought a bundle of 2 units directly from their site, and one is already dead due to their rushed code. If you are running the new firmware and messing with passphrases, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. This hotfix seems to have a catastrophic bug that permanently hard-locks the secure element or the firmware during passphrase application. Hey Coinkite, I thought Coldcard was the ultimate, unbreakable fortress for paranoid Bitcoiners? Fixing a critical seed generation vulnerability with a firmware bug that literally kills the hardware is quite a strategic move to sell more devices! This is completely unacceptable for a premium security device, also given what is happening. Anyone else experiencing crashes or weird behavior on the new firmware?

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-39 passphrase, every candidate seed now requires deriving and checking an additional wallet. Even a passphrase that would only take an hour to brute-force in isolation completely destroys the attacker’s throughput when applied across millions or billions of candidate seeds. Realistically, they’ll check no passphrase, and maybe a tiny list of extremely common ones. Anything beyond that makes the attack economically unattractive. That’s why I suspect the overwhelming majority of victims will turn out to be users who didn’t use a BIP-39 passphrase at all. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/bbrunrun [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-coldcard-attacker-isnt-bruteforcing-your-passphrase</link><guid>877249</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The COLDCARD attacker isn’t bruteforcing your passphrase</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin bullish during August and Monero mining</title><description><![CDATA[Hello everyone!

Top companies are progressing rapidly on multiple approaches to scale quantum computers. It&#39;s been talked about for years, but we&#39;re definitely nearing the point where we&#39;ll need to see action and the outcomes of upgrading. My thoughts evolved on how to look at this risk and potential impacts. Rather than worry about how it will play out for existing chains trying to upgrade, it&#39;s time to consider the market opportunity. We are already seeing it begin where EVERY SINGLE COMPANY- not just crypto- will be looking for solutions to migrate cryptography. And governments across the board. That&#39;s a huge undertaking, and time is running out. These companies will be looking for solutions that have been establishing themselves over the years. In the blockchain space, I only know of Qanplatform positioned to capture part of this emerging market. Signquantum powered by Qanplatform is an ideal add-on type solution companies will be looking for which can truly leverage blockchain utility. I am invested. Crowe and Itti have already aligned as Go to market partners. While some coins have been hoping for years to capitalize on the fud narrative, Qanplatform is going after the market opportunity. Real enterprise needs being met. Success is NOT dependent on Bitcoin facing upgrade struggles. I&#39;ve posted multiple times on how I think it is better for utility blockchains if Bitcoin successfully navigates this. Especially when you&#39;re building for an untapped market. Bitcoin&#39;s upgrade effort will simply highlight this is a worldwide problem in need of solutions. And I think we&#39;ll see bitcoin take action very, very soon. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Original-Assistant-8 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/bitcoins-437-billion-quantum-exposure-meets-ibms-2028-deadline</link><guid>877184</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin’s $437 Billion Quantum Exposure Meets IBM’s 2028 Deadline</dc:text></item><item><title>Why were my contributions erased and reset?</title><description><![CDATA[&#32; submitted by &#32; /u/SooperYuk [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/why-were-my-contributions-erased-and-reset</link><guid>877191</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Why were my contributions erased and reset?</dc:text></item><item><title>Will the winners in AI be the best models or the best systems around them?</title><description><![CDATA[It seems like model performance is becoming easier to access.

You’re not getting 10x on a multi-trillion dollar asset without something insane happening. Meanwhile there’s projects doing genuinely interesting things that get dismissed without a second look. ZEC for example, it’s essentially BTC’s core value prop (sound money, scarcity) but with actual privacy tech and quantum-resistant cryptography baked in. That’s up over 10x in the last year. Hyperliquid is another one, this isn’t some meme coin, it’s a platform generating billions in real revenue I’m not saying dump your BTC. I’m saying the “anything that isn’t BTC is a scam” mentality is lazy and it’s costing people returns. There’s a difference between actual garbage projects and coins with real tech, real usage, and real revenue behind them. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/jazz_king_seb [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/why-is-btc-maximalism-still-the-default-take-here</link><guid>877196</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Why is BTC maximalism still the default take here?</dc:text></item><item><title>11 minute supercut of Bitcoin influencers big and small shilling Coldcard</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ChefPsychological918 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/11-minute-supercut-of-bitcoin-influencers-big-and-small-shilling-coldcard</link><guid>877253</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>11 minute supercut of Bitcoin influencers big and small shilling Coldcard</dc:text></item><item><title>Are we paying enough attention to quantum computing in crypto?</title><description><![CDATA[So, I&#39;ve been seeing more discussions about quantum computing and its potential impact on crypto.

It is important to go back to the foundational security aspect of holding Bitcoin. The seed or &quot;keys&quot;. This is a secret that enables the holder to sign, that is spend, Bitcoin. This secret can also be used to create bitcoin addresses that can be shared publicly to receive Bitcoin. The secret seed or &quot;keys&quot; are only used when spending Bitcoin. The seed must be guarded and secured very carefully. It is advised to create your seed completely offline trusting no RNG whatsoever. This infographic walks through the steps. With this nuance in place, then you can truly say, &quot;not your keys, not your coin&quot;. If your keys were generated with any RNG, I advise you create a new seed using purely analog methods described here. Happy to discuss further in the comments. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/SpendHefty6066 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-security-starts-with-the-seed</link><guid>877259</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin security starts with the seed</dc:text></item><item><title>Can't unstake stETH but can swap stETH to ETH.

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 country&#39;s weak and inflated currency comapred to the dollar. I’m 39, and I was hoping to have a good financial cushion before 50. But today, my 2 BTC were drained. Losing my Bitcoin has changed my mindset. It’s no longer about finishing the race first. At this point, I just want to finish it. But losing my BTC feels like I’m back at the starting line. I lost years of hard work and time. I thought I was secure because Cold Card was always praised as one of the best and most secure wallets. It’s open source, so anyone can verify. I’m done with Bitcoin. I’m not even sure if I still believe in it. I don’t know what the future holds for it anymore. I could have stayed with traditional investments and lived a normal life. Maybe I should have just moved everything into a Bitcoin ETF when they launched. But I don&#39;t know. It&#39;s too late to do it. To everyone who has lost their BTC, I wish you the best and good health.

That pushback was right, and this is the part I could not answer then. I joined 5.9M resolved swap transactions against contracts scoring 70+ on my risk index. That gives 474,791 distinct wallets that bought at least one flagged token. Distribution of how many different flagged tokens each wallet bought: 1 token 309,256 65.1% 2 to 4 115,885 24.4% 5 to 10 32,635 6.9% 11 to 50 14,699 3.1% 51 to 200 1,952 0.4% 200+ 364 0.1% 34.9% bought more than one. Median victim bought exactly 1, p90 is 5. Before anyone asks about bots, because that was the main critique last time: the 2,316 wallets above 50 tokens (0.5% of the total) account for 23.6% of every scam-token purchase in the set. Those are trading bots, not people. I am reporting them separately instead of folding them into a bigger headline. And the repeat finding survives the sceptical cut: throw away every wallet above 10 tokens as possible automation and 31.3% still got hit more than once. Two things that explain the repeats, both measurable: **Template reuse.** 44.6% of flagged contracts share a bytecode template with another flagged contract. One single template accounts for 8,401 flagged tokens, which is 13.5% of every scam in the set. They do not look exotic, they look like ordinary new tokens, because most of them are copies of each other. **Late rugs.** I froze a cohort of 25,931 tokens and re-scored them at deploy and again at day 30 with a fixed threshold. 48.8% scored as scams on day 0, 90.6% by day 30. 41.9% flipped from clean to flagged and not one flipped back. Checking a contract on launch day misses most of the danger, which is the thing I had wrong for months. Limits, stated up front: &quot;flagged&quot; is my detector, not a court ruling. Precision sits around 0.3 to 0.4, so it over-flags on purpose. Recall against a behavioural label (real retail money in, buyers not recovering their WETH) is about 0.97, so it rarely misses an actual rug once real money is involved, but that is on a small sample. Happy to run other cuts on the data if someone wants a specific one, or to go into the three drain mechanisms (honeypot, liquidity removal, late rug) if that is useful. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Plus-Tangerine2186 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/i-indexed-474791-wallets-that-bought-a-flagged-scam-token-1-in-3-came-back-and-bought-another</link><guid>877182</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>I indexed 474,791 wallets that bought a flagged scam token. 1 in 3 came back and bought another.</dc:text></item><item><title>Coldcard is not "Open source"</title><description><![CDATA[The firmware source code is publicly available and can be inspected, However, Coinkite changed the license from a standard open source license to one that includes the Commons Clause, which means it&#39;s source available/verifiable rather than OSI approved open source.

Not your keys, not your coins, unless your keys were never random. Even long time Bitcoiners have been expressing anxiety. I bet most of you checked your balance after hearing the news, even if you&#39;ve done everything right. This type of paranoia is an issue and institutionalized bitcoin products are a seemingly good solution to that.

That is the easy part. The hard part is what happens when the agent reads a poisoned webpage, misunderstands a token, retries a failed transaction or follows an instruction that was never meant to control money. A normal wallet asks for approval one transaction at a time. An agent wallet probably needs policy before execution. It should know the maximum value it can move each day. It should have an allowlist of chains and contracts. Slippage, gas, bridges and token approvals should have hard limits. Some actions should always require a human signature. Every active permission should have one immediate kill switch. The agent should also show a plain language receipt before acting. What it saw. What assumption it made. What it plans to spend. What would make it stop. Prompts are not a security boundary. A convincing website can change what a model believes. The wallet policy has to stay outside the model and fail closed. The useful question is not whether AI can manage a wallet. It is how much authority it should receive before it has earned any trust. Would you let an agent rebalance a small wallet if every transaction sat inside a hard policy, or is onchain autonomy a bad idea even with those limits? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/CODE_HEIST [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/an-ai-agent-with-a-crypto-wallet-needs-a-spending-policy-not-a-better-prompt</link><guid>877088</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>an AI agent with a crypto wallet needs a spending policy, not a better prompt</dc:text></item><item><title>Good call for the upcoming cycle?</title><description><![CDATA[ I consider MSTR a good leveraged proxy for the entire section of the market, it has shown somewhat consistent price action before that I&#39;m comfortable placing a mid-size long-term trade there for the next 4-year cycle - but it&#39;s been challenging to time the bottom.

Started with $5000 (using $4000 for the grid at first and leaving $1000 for safety as I was worried about liquidation) and have made $4000 this month reaching $9000 which I plan to keep reinvesting. Started more leveraged like 40x, then as I reinvested the profit I have been lowering leverage to 30x then 20x while keeping my target of $100+/day average which feels comfortable now. Doing mostly neutral strategy, sometimes I did long or short strategy when I thought the market would go that direction but I have to say I definitely got lucky on those (or rather not unlucky to lose), but decided to only do neutral after some time for less stress and it has been very steady and &quot;chill&quot;. I mostly use the grid range suggestion from the exchange&#39;s AI and just let the grid do its thing for as long as needed until I reach the $100+/day average target, then I close it and make a new grid readjusted to the current market position. I generally reach the $100/day target within 1 or 2 days but sometimes I did have to keep de grid for 9+ days with half of them in the negative, so sometimes it requires patience seeing negative until the market reverts. I do set automatic exit strategies (both TP and SL) way before liquidation but never had them triggered so far. If I see there is a clear dip or rally I stop operating for some time until I see a sideways trend again. Am I just fooling myself with this and it has been mostly luck and I&#39;m one big swing away of getting wiped, or do I have some kind of decent long term working strategy here? Seems too good to be true which scares me. EDIT: For safety, I always put the stops slightly above and below the grid operating range, at points where it would be clear that a resistance or support has been breached e.g. grid is between 60000 and 70000, I put stops at 58800 (more likely to keep going down if it broke the 59000 support) and 71200 (more likely to keep going up if it breaks the 71000 resistance) while liquidation would be at e.g. 54000 and 76000 so still quite &quot;safe&quot;. But so far they have never been triggered. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/tomtastico [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/grid-trading-just-lucky-or-i-have-something-here</link><guid>877084</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Grid trading: just lucky or I have something here?</dc:text></item><item><title>This is why crypto will never succeed</title><description><![CDATA[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 assumed the process was completely secure. They have been conditioned to believe that “not your keys, not your coins” is the most important rule of all. While that principle is important, it’s not the entire story. A question that far fewer people stop to ask is: “How were my keys actually generated in the first place?” That is the part many overlook. The security of your Bitcoin ultimately depends on the randomness and integrity of the process used to create your keys. If you don’t understand how that process works, you are still placing a level of trust in someone else. The point I’m trying to make is that the average person is not going to spend the time researching cryptography, entropy, key generation, and proper security practices. They are not going to go through the necessary steps to independently verify that their keys were truly generated with sufficient randomness and without unnecessary trust assumptions. For most people, convenience will win over self-sovereignty. And that’s the difficult balance Bitcoin asks users to navigate: taking full custody of your assets also means taking full responsibility for understanding and securing them. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/585463 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/this-is-why-crypto-will-never-succeed</link><guid>877064</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>This is why crypto will never succeed</dc:text></item><item><title>(Coldcard) Lost 18.25 BTC</title><description><![CDATA[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?

The rsETH exploit shook a lot of confidence in DeFi in general. Borrowing demand was weak. Spreads were tight. Revenue fell. Some numbers: Aave&#39;s interest income dropped 23% &amp; Ethena&#39;s fees dropped 21%. In that same window, Spark more than doubled its share of the lending market &amp; stayed profitable. As a defi maximalist, this headline caught my attention. Here&#39;s my takeaway&#39;s from the latest Blockworks report on their Q2. First, what is Spark? It&#39;s a capital allocator for stablecoins. It sources liquidity from Sky (the protocol formerly known as MakerDAO) &amp; routes that capital across a range of venues: its own market SparkLend, Morpho, institutional desks like Anchorage &amp; Arkis, &amp; Uniswap. It moves the money to wherever demand &amp; spreads are best. Essentially, it&#39;s a protocol of DeFi yield farmers trying to maximize return and minimize risk. The data - Spark went from 4.3% to 10.4% of outstanding loans across the major venues while the combined loan book for that whole group shrank about 30%. It grew its slice while the pie got smaller. Net income was ~$3.3M for the quarter, operating costs flat at $1.1M a month. Spark bought back $1.31M of SPK in Q2 straight out of operating surplus. So here we have a real, profitable business buying back their own tokens with profit. My takeaway on risk management - In mid-April a bridge exploit elsewhere in DeFi (the rsETH depeg) stressed collateral markets across the board. Spark had built oracle killswitches that freeze loans if an asset&#39;s price moves more than 5% off peg, plus rate limits on how fast capital can move. This is growing in the industry (Morpho, Gauntlet, and Yearn and 3 protocols I&#39;m a fan of that also have these kill-switches, but it isn&#39;t ubiquitous). During the exploit, Spark took zero loss. In the weeks following the KelpDAO exploit, Spark added ~$1B in inflows. Capital managers evaluated Spark and deployed due to the risk management system. The third thing Spark is growing as a liquidity engine behind other people&#39;s stablecoin products. You can read the entire insight by Blockworkds, but they are basically working with PayPal &amp; PYUSD, Uniswap, Robinhood Earn, and BitGo. The earn programs operate on an infrastructure level, simplifying UX and Spark earns a portion of the yield they generate. Vaults, but vaults with strong integrations. A lot of Spark&#39;s revenue has shifted into one bucket. Distribution rewards (payments from Sky for driving USDS adoption) hit $4.88M in Q2 &amp; now make up around 74% of net revenue, while lending-spread income fell 59% as rates compressed. Distributing a stablecoin at scale is a real, hard job, &amp; demand for it is exploding. Spark does it well, but there&#39;s a concentration risk as it makes up so much of the business. At the same time, Spark holds more than double the lending market share it had, so when borrowing demand recovers, that share converts straight into profit. They&#39;re positioned for the recovery while having another business that can generate income while waiting on a recovery. The big takeaway is DeFi is no longer a 1-trick game for the protocols. They need multiple, diverse revenue streams if they&#39;re going to survive the competitive landscape and crypto winters. Spark seems to have that. We&#39;ve seen Aave &amp; Morpho getting into more verticals also. Some may be bearish on the future of DeFi, but I&#39;ve never been more bullish. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TimmyXBT [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/defi-education-spark-protocol-and-how-it-outperformed-other-lending-protocols-in-q2</link><guid>877002</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Defi Education: Spark Protocol and how it outperformed other lending protocols in Q2</dc:text></item><item><title>Can hackers know you use a passphrase?</title><description><![CDATA[With this cold card complete disaster, I&#39;m wondering how much security a passphrase adds?

Nobody asked these questions. Now $38 million is gone.</title><description><![CDATA[I didn&#39;t lose anything in this hack. But it shook me enough to write this out, because I genuinely believe most retail buyers, including my past self, have no idea what questions to ask before buying a hardware wallet. What actually happened This wasn&#39;t a hack in the traditional sense. Nobody broke into a server. Nobody phished anyone. A firmware bug introduced in March 2021 caused Coldcard&#39;s Mk3 devices to silently skip their hardware random number generator during seed creation. Instead of drawing entropy from a secure hardware source, the device fell back to software-based generation seeded by the chip&#39;s serial number and internal clock registers. Neither of those are secret. Neither of those are random in any meaningful sense. The result: seeds that should have had 2^128 possible combinations instead had around 4.2 billion. A desktop computer can run through 4.2 billion combinations in about 20 minutes. The attacker didn&#39;t guess your seed. They predicted it. And they did it to 500 wallets simultaneously in under half an hour. The terrifying part: this bug lived silently in the firmware for five years. People who did everything right, bought hardware, went self-custody, stayed off exchanges, lost everything anyway. The questions every hardware wallet buyer should ask Part 1: The architecture questions Does the wallet use a certified secure element? Not just &quot;a secure chip&quot; but one with independent third party certifications like EAL5+ or EAL6+. This means the chip&#39;s randomness has been mathematically verified to produce full entropy. Is the firmware open source with reproducible builds? The Coldcard bug went undetected for five years partly because auditing complex firmware is hard. Open source firmware lets independent researchers verify what the device actually does during key generation. Does a single point of failure exist anywhere in your setup? Even a wallet with a perfect TRNG generates a single seed. One seed means one point of failure. If that seed is ever compromised through a firmware flaw, physical attack, or supply chain issue, the attacker has everything. What happens if your device is lost, stolen, or destroyed? Most people think about this in terms of seed phrase backup. But that backup is now your single point of failure. If someone finds it, they have your Bitcoin. Part 2: My personal journey, not a recommendation I&#39;m sharing this not to tell you what to buy but to show how I thought through the decision so you can figure out your own path. After going through Part 1, I started asking a different question entirely. Instead of &quot;how do I protect my seed phrase,&quot; I asked &quot;what if I didn&#39;t have one?&quot; I also had a specific requirement that most people don&#39;t think about until it&#39;s too late: I needed non-KYC inheritance support. No custodian. No third party knowing my identity. Just a way to ensure my Bitcoin reaches the right people if something happens to me. That ruled out Trezor and Bitbox for me. Neither had native non-KYC inheritance support built into the architecture at the time I was evaluating them. That search led me to Cypherock X1 about two years ago. It uses Shamir&#39;s Secret Sharing to split your private key across five components. No single component holds a usable key. You need any two of the five to reconstruct it. Lose three and you&#39;re still fine. Someone steals one card and they have nothing. It also has Cypherock Cover, a non-KYC inheritance feature built natively into the product. Again, I&#39;m not saying it&#39;s the right answer for everyone. I&#39;m saying it answered my specific questions. Figure out your own list of questions first, then find what answers them. How to buy a hardware wallet that won&#39;t end up like Coldcard Before buying anything, ask the manufacturer these questions and verify the answers independently: What secure element does the device use and what is its entropy certification? Is the firmware fully open source with reproducible builds? What is the entropy source during seed generation? Ask for technical documentation, not the marketing page. What is the single point of failure in my setup? Does the architecture distribute risk or concentrate it? The crypto community has spent years telling people to get off exchanges. That advice is right. But we never followed it up with &quot;here&#39;s how to evaluate what you&#39;re moving your Bitcoin into.&quot; Do your own research. Read the technical docs. Ask the questions above. And don&#39;t let Reddit recommendations substitute for due diligence. And most importantly, self-custody is still the way forward. Don&#39;t let anyone tell you otherwise &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/No-Wrap3568 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/reddit-recommended-coldcard-for-years-nobody-asked-these-questions-now-38-million-is-gone</link><guid>877000</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Reddit recommended Coldcard for years.

You did nothing wrong. To get the obvious out of the way, the hate Coinkite is getting right now is deserved. Firstly, there should have had a more thorough review process that would have caught the unintentional change in their seed generation method. Secondly, its leadership shouldn&#39;t have been so cocky and gatekeep-y. The adage &quot;pride cometh before a fall&quot; comes to mind. So this post is not a defense of Coinkite or an endorsement of Coldcard devices. However, I feel the need to point out that it&#39;s best to assume all software has bugs, and after a career in tech I have never met any programmer or company who does not create bugs. Today it was the people who used a particular generation method on a particular version of a particular device that got screwed and thankfully, my setup was not affected. But I can easily imagine other alternate scenarios. None of the following things actually happened, but to me these scenarios are easy to picture: Imagine These Alternate Scenarios Ledger&#39;s closed-source chip firmware was cracked and funds drained. Everyone blames the fact that it wasn&#39;t source-readable (unlike COLDCARD), and blames Ledger users for trusting a company that had a data breach in the past. The Coldcard bug was that if you used dice, the dice weren&#39;t used properly and ended up creating a guessable seed, whereas the people who used machine-generated seed were safe. Everyone still blames Coinkite, but the set of victims is actually the MORE paranoid ones. There is a technical flaw or bad actor in the manufacturer of Trezor&#39;s secure element, allowing seeds to be guessed. Everyone blames Trezor for not having multiple secure elements. Should have used a COLDCARD, they say. There is a mass drain of wallets from seeds generated by Electrum or Sparrow. The offline linux box users are drained, and everyone clowns on them for not using a real hardware wallet. There was yet another hack at a semi-reputable exchange like Kraken or Gemini. Everyone clowns on the victims for not using a hardware wallet. A bug was pushed to Sparrow&#39;s send function, so that people who transacted with the latest version, regardless of key management, sent their coins to the wrong address. Regulation or corruption puts funds at bitcoin ETFs at risk of being frozen. Everyone spams &quot;not your keys, not your coins.&quot; Keeping Your Keys Safe is Not Simple I hate to say that, but it&#39;s a reality the community needs to face. I write because I keep seeing comments along the lines of &quot;f--- Coinkite, let&#39;s all move to Trezor now&quot; or something similar. But if this fiasco has taught me anything it&#39;s that things aren&#39;t that simple. Today there is a flaw in one firmware, tomorrow it could be another by another company. Evaluating the options takes skill, and even that won&#39;t entirely save you from bad luck. More complex setups also have risks. You could spread your money among many wallets, or have a multi-sig setup that uses multiple hardware wallets from different brands, but that increases the risk of locking yourself out if you don&#39;t do everything perfectly and remember what to do. I wish I had an easy answer. I just want to say there are a lot of things to consider. This is why security experts talk about thinking through your risk model, rather than saying &quot;any idiot knows to just use my favorite method or company.&quot; &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/PoeCollector [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/yes-it-is-actually-difficult-to-secure-your-seed</link><guid>876970</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Yes, it is actually difficult to secure your seed.</dc:text></item><item><title>They stole the BTC- now what?</title><description><![CDATA[The ColdCard hack has seriously shaken the BTC community in less than 24hrs.

Their venture capital funding (tracked by PitchBook) is listed as $122K, while Tracxn logs it as $115K. This is a boutique shop, essentially a mom and pop establishment. The typical errors and omissions insurance carried by a business this size is $1 to $2 million. A likely outcome is that they are going to be in bankruptcy and customers are not going to be made whole because this is a boutique operation with no significant cash reserve, balance sheet, insurance, etc. By comparison Ledger has 500-1000 employees, $613 million in venture capital, revenue in triple digit millions, and a 2026 estimated valuation of $4 billion. Lets talk nuts an bolts. Coinkite disabled the hardware TRNG (true random number generator) in the code. This was probably done during debugging by the developer and then not re-enabled when they shipped the firmware. As a result, the 24 word passphrase is generated using the serial number and internal clock with an XOR operation. The entire output space is 4.2 billion combinations. A desktop computer can crack this in about 20 minutes. By comparison Ledger uses a TRNG which has undergone extensive independent, third party audits and achieved major certifications such as AIS-31 and EAL5+. The ring oscillators inside the Secure Element chip extract raw physical chaos from thermal fluctuations. The chip filters and concentrates this physical noise into a string of 256 ones and zeros (binary bits). Because the certified hardware guarantees that every bit has an exact 50% chance of being a 1 or a 0 (called &quot;full entropy&quot;), the mathematical possibility space is precisely:2²⁵⁶ combinations. In standard numbering, this is 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,936. Using brute force it would take longer than the remaining lifespan of the universe to crack this number. Ledger also runs active hardware health self-testing to determine if an attacker tries to freeze the chip, spike the voltage, or fire a laser to make the output predictable. Ledger will refuse to generate a private key if the chip is damaged in any way. What can we take away from all this? First I am not trying to advertise for Ledger and I have no vested interest in the company. I just wanted to compare Coinkite to a major player in the hardware wallet space so we can see the differences. You could just as easily compare to Trezor or any other number of hardware wallets, but I chose Ledger for this example. Some users may think moving to an exchange is the answer, but let&#39;s revisit some history. Here is a short list of some of the exchanges that have been hacked or collapsed: Bybit (lost $1.5 billion), FTX ($8 billion), Celcius (1.2 billion) and we could go on and on. $38 million stolen is tiny compared to the loss customers experienced when exchanges collapsed or were hacked. That is not to minimize what happened to people affected by the Cold Card firmware bug, some lost their life savings! I can&#39;t imagine the blow this would be to have saved for years and tried to do everything right to secure their hard earned money. My question is why did redditors not do any DD and religiously recommended a company with between 2-10 employees to safeguard their life savings? EDIT: The new technical deep dive into the entropy issue from cold card https://blog.coinkite.com/entropy-technical-backgrounder/ shows it all came down to this code: MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG was set to 0 disabling the hardware TRNG and causing failback to an insecure method of key generation. The compiler error checking only checked to see that MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG was defined instead of evaluating the Boolean value (it should have been 1 for enabled). Coinkite&#39;s small team size is a likely a major factor behind why this complex integration bug slipped through the cracks. Because of the small operational footprint (less than 10 employees), they lack dedicated, multi-layered SecDevOps, automated regression, and independent QA departments that larger competitors use to stress-test software updates. In a large company the engineer writing code is entirely separate from the SecDevOps team, but in a boutique frim, the core developers have to wear multiple hats - writing the code, configuring the build files, checking their own work, all of this increases the risk of poor coding such as this. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/MypuppySam [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/unbelievable-that-redditors-were-recommending-cold-card</link><guid>876969</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Unbelievable that redditors were recommending Cold Card!</dc:text></item><item><title>Fell for the recent phishing, now dealing with the worst support imaginable - Is this a lost cause</title><description><![CDATA[Got a phishing email that looked way too real, spoofed as [hello@crypto.com](mailto:hello@crypto.com), styled exactly like their actual emails. Panicked and went through the whole flow, login, 2FA, all of it. Should’ve caught it, my anti-phishing code wasn’t in the email and I just didn’t think to check being busy at work and frantic. Lesson learned, check that code every time. Ended up with two LINK to ETH conversions on my account I never made. Caught it, locked the account, changed password, reset 2FA. Nothing actually left my account, which I know I got lucky on. But that unauthorized conversion cost me close to $1k in value between what I used to have and what I have now, straight to Crypto.com, off a trade I never initiated. Been in their support chat for days now with screenshots and transaction IDs asking them if anything can be done to reverse it and refund the fees just looking for an answer. Just keep getting circular scripted responses. At one point they literally told me “there were no unauthorized transactions” even though I already sent proof it happened. Asking me the same questions multiple times, avoiding my actual question. It’s really been one of the worst experiences of customer service ever. Not looking for sympathy for falling for this, that’s on me. Just frustrated a company won’t acknowledge fraud on their own platform or help with a resolution to refund fees from a trade I didn’t make.

Back in 2024-2025 i sold off the bitcoin i had left (did a full cycle, accumulated in the bear market, sold in tranches over time) and put it all into IBIT inside my TFSA (Canadian tax free account). Since then i dont hold any bitcoin in self custody anymore, just IBIT. Why i did it. Im an extremely security conscious person but i also deal with anxiety, and knowing i had a big chunk of money rely entirely on me never making a single mistake, one bad day, one moment of being less focused, that stressed me out way more than it should have. Not because i didnt know the best practices, just the mental weight of knowing its 100% on me with no safety net. Also in my TFSA the gains are fully tax free, so im not &quot;avoiding taxes&quot; like some people are gonna assume, its literally what the account is designed for. And for people who dont know, in Canada CIPF covers up to 1 million dollars if the brokerage itself goes insolvent (doesnt cover market losses, just insolvency of the firm, want to be clear on that). I know a lot of people here see this as a bad move, giving your coins to Blackrock, giving them more leverage over the market etc. I get the argument and its a solid one if your comfortable with self custody. But im not posting this to convince the hardcore self custody crowd. This is more for people like me, dealing with anxiety, stress, or people who are newer and not totally confident in what theyre doing yet. Its ok to choose simplicity and peace of mind if that keeps you invested long term instead of panicking or making a costly mistake. Theres more than one right way to do this. Anyway thats my story, downvote me if you want but wanted to put it out there for anyone asking themselves the same question. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/No-Average3202 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/unpopular-opinion-self-custody-isnt-right-for-everyone-heres-my-story</link><guid>876982</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Unpopular opinion: self custody isn't right for everyone, here's my story.</dc:text></item><item><title>Is there a final number of how much BTC was stolen from the Coldcard hack?</title><description><![CDATA[Just curious about this. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Sweet-Celebration498 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/is-there-a-final-number-of-how-much-btc-was-stolen-from-the-coldcard-hack</link><guid>876975</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Is there a final number of how much BTC was stolen from the Coldcard hack?</dc:text></item><item><title>Well, Boys, Looks Like It Is Time To Sell</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Present_Let2487 [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/well-boys-looks-like-it-is-time-to-sell</link><guid>876837</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Well, Boys, Looks Like It Is Time To Sell</dc:text></item><item><title>ColdCard Firmware Update Released</title><description><![CDATA[https://blog.coinkite.com/coldcard-mk3-seed-generation-warning/ Updated July 31, 2026: Fixed firmware is now available.

Seeds generated on Mk4, Q and Mk5 before the fixed firmware releases are also affected, with about 72 bits of entropy rather than the expected 128 bits. Updating the firmware does not change or repair an existing seed. If your seed was generated before the fixed firmware version for your model, follow the migration guidance below unless the independent dice-entropy exception applies to you. The issue is present on every Mk3 firmware version since 4.0.1. It also affects seeds generated on Mk4 and Mk5 before version 5.6.0, and on Q before version 1.5.0Q.

It never really held there. Every time it drifted below par, Strategy&#39;s answer was to raise the dividend, 9.00% at launch, up to 11.25% by January, 11.50% by March. The rate hikes worked for a while, until BTC itself started sliding hard. STRC hit an all-time low of $71.25 in June as bitcoin dropped toward $60K, and Strategy responded by draining its $2.25B cash reserve, repurchasing $1.5B in convertible notes instead of shoring up STRC support, and then sold a symbolic 32 BTC on June 1 just to cover dividends. That last part was the actual reversal moment, the &quot;flywheel&quot; (raise cash &gt; buy BTC) breaking for the first time. Today&#39;s Q2 earnings, released yesterday, showed some concerning results: With regards to STRC they said &quot;Increased the dividend rate to 12.00% to support STRC trading near its $100 per share stated amount, and will maintain the 12.00% rate until STRC demonstrates sustained, healthy trading near $100 per share.&quot; But as of today, STRC remains around $89.50, well below its $100 par. Strategy is holding at 12.00% rather than raising further, understandably, given how much each hike adds to their annual dividend burden. But if STRC&#39;s price doesn&#39;t recover toward par, they may eventually be boxed into raising it again anyway, which only deepens the cashflow problem the chart already flagged. The bigger picture: Strategy&#39;s whole model depends on BTC appreciating faster than the cost of the debt and dividends they&#39;re issuing to buy it. While they may previously have had the staying power to tide through bear markets, they may be in trouble if BTC does not reverse soon and STRC remains depressed and off-peg.

If they offered 10% -?% (after costs are deducted) of the value swept back I am pretty sure the hacker/hacker would prefer to avoid the headache of laundering stolen funds. The process wouldn&#39;t be simple since you can no longer treat a signed message from a bad key as proof you own the key. You would need multiple pieces of evidence This is realistically the only way users can get their funds back and it needs to happen quickly, before funds are laundered and more people start brute forcing the same key that were swept. Its much easier to return funds to a hacked exchange, but coordinating returning funds users will be very time consuming, this is not something the hacker/hackers can do alone.

Even more than the FTX collapse. Why? The mantra &quot;not your keys, not your coins&quot; was already widely spread out due to the MTX episode, so most bitcoiners were prepared and learned the lesson the first time. What happened today is way deeper, because the mantra &quot;don&#39;t trust, verify&quot; is more complex. Everyone can simply not trust, that part is fine, but what about the &quot;verify&quot; part? Not everyone can to a deep dive analysis on the RNG of a software wallet. More than that, most people have no clue what these things are. And then they say open source code compensates for that. &quot;Well, if I can&#39;t verify by myself, at least I&#39;m using open source SW, there are THOUSANDS of well-trained eyes and programmers watching this code, surely nothing bad could happen, right?&quot;. And even so, half a decade later, we get this. That&#39;s horrible to the community and I&#39;m really sad with all the horror stories emerging.

I&#39;ve also deciphered a lot of the background financial terminology that was left out of the slides. TL;DR: MicroStrategy keeps changing its metrics to fit new narratives: In summary, a lot of MicroStrategy/Strategy&#39;s misleading older metrics for mNAV and BPS were no longer looking positive after diluting/selling MSTR to increase cash reserves or execute STRC buybacks. So they&#39;ve needed to invent new terminology to help bridge that gap and account for increasing cash reserves. While I believe the new metrics are more accurate (and more similar to CEBE metrics), I do not appreciate how Microstrategy has historically ignored widespread criticism over their older misleading metrics when those old metrics were benefitting their marketing by painting their performance as more positive than they actually were. Only now are they acknowleding the criticism over metrics when it benefits them. This isn&#39;t the first time MicroStrategy has updated its metrics. Similar to how the rainbow chart evolves every time it loses its narrative, MicroStrategy&#39;s mNAV has evolved from Basic mNAV to Diluted mNAV to Enterprise mNAV to the &quot;new&quot; mNAV and new Net BPS. What&#39;s the difference between In-The-Money and Out-of-The-Money? Microstrategy&#39;s puttable debt can be ITM (converts to shares) or OTM (redeems for cash). Puttable means that the debt holders have the choice of redeeming for cash OR converting to shares. In the Money (ITM): Converts to shares. The current market price of the common stock is higher than the preset conversion price. Converting the security into common shares is worth more than holding it as a fixed-income asset. Out of the Money (OTM): Redeems for cash. The current market price of the common stock is lower than the profitable conversion price All convertibles and STRK are currently OTM because MSTR price is too low ($97) for them to convert profitably ($150-$1000). This is really bad for MicroStrategy because those convertibles can be redeemed at their high conversion values for cash on their 2027-2029 put dates. New Net Metrics The old metrics were replaced by ones that include the USDC reserve but subtract debt. Created because the plain BPS metric was no longer increasing when selling MSTR to increase the reserves (i.e. diluting MSTR shares). Reserve ($): BTC Reserve + USD Reserve Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding (FDSO): Basic shares + Options + RSUs/PSUs + In-The-Money Debt &amp; Pref Assumed Diluted Shares Outstanding (ADSO): Basic shares + Options + RSUs/PSUs + All Debt &amp; Pref Net Reserve ($): BTC Reserve + USD Reserves - (OTM Debt and Prefs) Net BTC (₿): BTC + Net Reserves / Bitcoin Price Net BTC Per Share (Sats): Net BTC (₿) in sats / Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding Net BTC Per Share ($): Net BPS (sats) × Bitcoin Price Net BPS (in Sats and $) are the 2 big ones they&#39;re now using for their KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) Strategy expects a ~50% performance increase (i.e. Amplification) by using Net BPS instead of plain BPS as a metric. I honestly don&#39;t know why the Amplification metric exists other than to make numbers look good. Updated Metrics mNAV: MSTR price / Net BPS = MSTR FSDO market cap / Net Reserves Amplification: BTC Reserve / Net Reserve The older Enterprise mNAV was calculated as: Enterprise Value / BTC Reserve This new mNAV is a pain to calculate since it keeps changing depending on whether the convertible debt is ITM or OTM. This mNAV rises faster than Enterprise mNAV the higher it gets from 1.0. (e.g. Currently, Ent mNAV is 1.02 while new mNAV is 1.05.) mNAV still acts fine as a craziness index. mNAV under 1 means that everything is backed and that investors are sane. mNAV over 2-3 means that investors are getting overly-bullish. Other new metrics: Duration (Yrs): Reserve / Annual Interest and Dividend Obligations, expressed in years BTC Hurdle ARR: Represents Strategy’s effective cost of credit (for dividends and debt), above which MSTR captures a positive spread. BTC Floor ARR: 1.0x: Represents the lowest constant BTC ARR over the weighted-average duration of the credit structure that maintains 1.0x coverage of our Net Debt and Pref through our BTC Reserve, after funding interest expense and preferred dividends over the period This is important because below the BTC Floor ARR of 1.0x, Strategy may need to consider restructuring its credit. These new metrics complement their existing metric for &quot;BTC Breakeven ARR&quot;, which is currently 3.24%. TL;DR: Microstrategy has finally deprecated its old misleading metrics after they shed light on bad performance numbers. Created new metrics (that better account for reserves and debt) to help numbers look better. I&#39;ll be back next year when newer metrics are invented again. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/HSuke [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/strategy-creates-and-updates-10-new-metrics-after-its-older-metrics-no-longer-meet-its-goals-and-narratives</link><guid>876715</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Strategy creates and updates 10+ new metrics after its older metrics no longer meet its goals and narratives</dc:text></item><item><title>Alphanumeric is the first Post-Quantum blockchain with a 5 second blocktime</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/dogehound [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/alphanumeric-is-the-first-post-quantum-blockchain-with-a-5-second-blocktime</link><guid>876717</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Alphanumeric is the first Post-Quantum blockchain with a 5 second blocktime</dc:text></item><item><title>BTC now the DEFAULT payment method on all square invoices</title><description><![CDATA[ At least for the default square invoice template, BTC is not the default payment method.

Check your wallet balances. If there are unfamiliar transactions since July 29, 2026, after about 9 PM (US Eastern Time), you may have been affected. Did you use a hardware wallet, if so, what model? Did you use a software wallet (hot or watch-only), if so, which? How exactly did you generate your seed? How exactly did you back up your seed? DO NOT post your seed, DO NOT respond to anyone saying they can recover your funds. Sorry for your loss. There may still be people affected by the same vulnerability who haven&#39;t been attacked, so the sooner the vulnerability is identified, and people are alerted to migrate funds, the better. Check in with less techy friends and family that have bitcoin and report incidents. Edit with current conclusions: Coldcard mk3 confirmed vulnerable, press release here: https://blog.coinkite.com/coldcard-mk3-seed-generation-warning/ My own analysis: proceed with caution on Mk4/Mk5/Q. These use the same codebase as Mk3 but with slight, insufficient imo, improvements to the RNG system. If you&#39;re migrating from Mk3, consider other vendors. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ShortCircuitDisco [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/wallet-drain-megathread-check-your-balances</link><guid>876685</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Wallet Drain Megathread (Check Your Balances)</dc:text></item><item><title>Security Advisory for Coldcard Hardware Wallet</title><description><![CDATA[ Related threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vatgl4/full_panic_one_of_my_wallets_was_drained/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vb6teq/wallet_drained_timeline/ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/RetiredAvocado [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/security-advisory-for-coldcard-hardware-wallet</link><guid>876682</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Security Advisory for Coldcard Hardware Wallet</dc:text></item><item><title>Bitcoin Quantum Threat Inches Closer as IBM Claims 'Trusted Quantum Advantage'</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/donutloop [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/bitcoin-quantum-threat-inches-closer-as-ibm-claims-trusted-quantum-advantage</link><guid>876584</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Bitcoin Quantum Threat Inches Closer as IBM Claims 'Trusted Quantum Advantage'</dc:text></item><item><title>p2p bitcoin in Switzerland</title><description><![CDATA[Hello, i&#39;m looking for p2p marketplaces in Switzerland.

It’s not the end of the world, but it’s a lot of fucking money… Little background: The setup was IRA custodian is Solera National Bank, exchange at Swan Bitcoin was used as an Investment Trust, purchase a dedicated hardware wallets: coldcard mk3 from https://store.coinkite.com May 2021 for this ROTH IRA. Got the wallets, followed all the setup/checks/balances from https://youtu.be/FAYmE5-40PQ?is=wiYMHaS_YGKHjNOY for both wallets, sent a test transaction IRA dedicated hardware wallet (2021). I never setup a 25th Passphrase… REST of the BTC stayed in Swan Exchange. Speaking only on this IRA Wallet: SD card stored with wallet details (paper phrase) in a baggie. Dormant until January 2025. I couldn’t deposit more because of Roth IRA threshold. Come January 2025, been learning more about retirement, BTC, multi-Sig, and heard about a Megaback Door to get more money into a Roth IRA. Was able to get money into Solera, transfer to Swan, and purchase more BTC and withdraw to the same wallet address. No new hardware involved at this point. With newer wallets now, I thought newer tech means more security. Let’s test by buying (3 mk4 - same site. There was still record of my 2021 purchase) new wallets and setup a multi-Sig. (still January 2025) For some reason, when I got the new coldcards, I never did anything with them for all of 2025, I guess I was too lazy/daunting to use the hardware and relearn. Coming to January 2026 now, I decided to use these new cards. I dug out the wallet seed (from 2021) phrase paper. Dusted off one of the mk4, walked into the corner of a room in my house (only myself and partner live in the house), plugged in the cold card into an outlet and typed in the seed written down from 2021 (stored in my dresser). Restored my 2021 onto one of the new wallet 2025. Watched updated BTCSession videos on my phone to set everything up again. I never plugged into a computer, since airgapped was the reason I got the coldcards. I used the same SD Card from 2021 though to export the wallet file from the newly restored coldcard. Import that file into Sparrow (needed to update Sparrow at this point), generated a watch-only wallet QR (to scan for my phone) for Blue Wallet to check frequently. This is where the screenshot is from. Honestly, I haven’t touched the wallet with any transactions/seeds since January 2026. This is definitely the point of failure when I restored the 2021 wallet (now on 2 devices). This was the transaction. https://mempool.space/tx/2fe075cf0ec799f3529ed6a28e0a08b45fe1fc9bd93c3f33bdbc42d5bff4f736 My wallet address is (with all transactions, since it’s gone now…): bc1qldkfrrlylk4s9sdyns9jkaajuzugl0dv5m8fxj My key takeaway now never enter the seed phrase into anything. EVER. Even to restore. Always will generate new and use a 25th passphrase. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/s1ammage [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/wallet-drained-timeline</link><guid>876683</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Wallet Drained Timeline</dc:text></item><item><title>Fun experimentation with a bot</title><description><![CDATA[I currently have made a bot that has an active decay from a time limit to reduce percentages needed to trigger a purchase in a tiered system.

Here's the legal case for swapping without one.</title><description><![CDATA[Quick question before you scroll: how many exchanges have your passport, your face, and your full transaction history right now? Two? Five? Do you even remember? Everyone says &quot;not your keys, not your coins.&quot; Fair enough. But nobody talks about the thing sitting one level up from that: every account you&#39;ve ever opened is a file with your ID and your balances in it and you don&#39;t control a single one of them. What &quot;on an exchange&quot; actually means When your coins sit on an exchange, you don&#39;t own them. You own a claim against the company. Ask anyone who had funds on Celsius, Voyager, or FTX: their coins didn&#39;t disappear on-chain, they turned into unsecured creditor claims in a bankruptcy case. That&#39;s what custody really means in the fine print, and you only find out on the day it goes wrong. Non-custodial works the other way around: you hold the asset and there&#39;s no company in the middle. You swap straight from your wallet, through something like ChangeNOW, Swapzone, or any other non-KYC exchange and the coins go out, get exchanged and come back. Nothing holds your balance in between, because there&#39;s no account to hold it. The account itself is a risk, even when your money is fine. Here&#39;s something that gets omitted quite a lot: even if your funds are completely safe, the account is still a liability on its own. Every time you pass KYC, you&#39;re tying your legal identity to your crypto activity and leaving it on a server you&#39;ll never get to check. Do that across a dozen exchanges and your whole financial life is sitting in databases that get hacked (Bybit is the obvious example), get handed over when someone shows up with a subpoena, and keep existing long after you&#39;ve forgotten the account was ever there. And once your passport scan is out there, you can&#39;t change it like a password. Swap without an account and there&#39;s simply nothing to leak, because nothing got collected in the first place. Now the part that isn&#39;t so shiny. Anyone telling you self-custody is all upside is selling you something. The real tradeoffs: • No reset button. Lose your seed phrase and it&#39;s gone. • Mistakes are final. Wrong address, no chargeback, no one to call. • It&#39;s all on you. Custodial is easier. Self-custody trades that ease for control. For most people the sensible move is a mix: keep what you&#39;re actively trading on a solid custodial exchange and move the rest into self-custody where no account is attached to it. So it was never only about whether your coins are safe. It&#39;s also about how many companies are holding your identity, and whether you actually trust every single one of them.

The only platform I came across was CoinPoker, but after digging around I found a lot of complaints in this subreddit about frozen withdrawals and poor customer support. On top of that, the withdrawal limits are surprisingly low for anyone playing higher stakes.

I’m owed $6,400 in a tax refund I should get next year in the early months. I have 0.1 BTC, and around $2,000 in cash right now. I’m going to Shanghai where I’m not sure how much my spending will be (my apartment is paid for already). Most spending will be restaurants and travel within China. My best estimate is somewhere around $1,000 a month. I’m there for 4 months, so $4k spend. Then I go to south east Asia for backpacking where I’m budgeting around $500-750 a week, though I’m not positive on these numbers. I think I can pull off $500 a week all in, for 17 weeks, so call it $8,500. So to sum it up, I’ll need about $13,000 to spend over the next 10 months or so, before I move back home and have no expenses with a job starting soon after. Counting my tax refund and my income and my current savings plus my bitcoin I have, about $23K. That’s about a $10k cushion. Would any of you buy more bitcoin in this situation? I’m thinking if I resource constrain myself I may be more inclined to just spend less, and if I really need it I could just sell the bitcoin.

That protects against one failure, but not the day when a phone dies, an exchange account is locked, a hardware wallet breaks and nobody else knows what belongs where. A usable recovery plan should answer a few boring questions. Which wallets are hot, cold, watch only, or contracts? Which device holds 2FA and what happens if it is gone? Can you revoke active wallet and exchange sessions from somewhere else? Does a trusted person know where instructions are without having access today? Can you rebuild the transaction history needed for taxes or an insurance claim? Have you actually restored a small test wallet from the backup? The strange part of self custody is that preventing theft and recovering access can pull in opposite directions. More secrecy can also create a single point of failure. I think a small recovery drill once or twice a year is more useful than adding another security app and assuming the plan works.

I hope this piece can give the public a different perspective — that of the original mission and ethos steeped in reverence for permissionless tech and what it can do for humans. i think it’s worth a watch. particularly because every single person I interviewed still talks about the technology in the present tense, yet every one of them carries the same contradiction. you can watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/0D4fAkvwd3o ------------ if we&#39;re meeting for the first time — hi ???? i built this channel to spread the good word on good work in crypto. a like, a comment, and a sub on my channel goes a long way to supporting my work :) &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/haochizzle [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-most-muted-word-on-the-internet-is-crypto</link><guid>876359</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>the most muted word on the internet is crypto</dc:text></item><item><title>Mortgage for BTC</title><description><![CDATA[Would like to reach a full BTC and thinking to take a mortgage on the house at low interest rate to get there faster.

Today, the two founder-led firms are clashing on multiple fronts as Robinhood seeks to co-opt large portions of Coinbase’s crypto empire, while the latter has rebranded itself as an “everything exchange” for stocks and more. Both firms report second-quarter earnings this week, and their results are likely to reveal which has the upper hand. While the market has soured on both stocks, there are strong indications that one firm—Robinhood—is in a position to turn the corner, thanks to its early momentum in new and emerging sectors like prediction markets and tokenized finance. Coinbase, meanwhile, is struggling to find its footing after betting heavily on a strategy involving its in-house blockchain that has yet to pay off. Even as the two rivals are set to bring in approximately the same amount of revenue, analysts are decidedly more bullish on Robinhood with Mizuho’s Dan Dolev predicting the company could become the “first ‘hyperscaler’ in the brokerage industry.” The outlook for Coinbase is more mixed, with analysts expressing concern about the company’s exposure to weakness in the crypto markets, and several downgrading its stock to “hold” or “sell.” Read more [paywall removed for Redditors]: https://fortune.com/2026/07/28/coinbase-and-robinhood-are-locked-in-a-heated-battle-ahead-of-q2-earningsbut-only-one-is-being-called-the-industrys-first-hyperscaler/?utm_source=reddit/ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/fortune [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/coinbase-and-robinhood-are-locked-in-a-heated-battle-ahead-of-q2-earningsbut-only-one-is-being-called-the-industrys-first-hyperscaler</link><guid>876246</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Coinbase and Robinhood are locked in a heated battle ahead of Q2 earnings—but only one is being called the industry’s ‘first hyperscaler’</dc:text></item><item><title>Stonks</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Mazendrak [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/stonks</link><guid>876244</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Stonks</dc:text></item><item><title>pcaversaccio (pc) has joined the Ethereum Foundation Board</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/ligi [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/pcaversaccio-pc-has-joined-the-ethereum-foundation-board</link><guid>876241</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>pcaversaccio (pc) has joined the Ethereum Foundation Board</dc:text></item><item><title>What are some genuinely useful ways to earn Bitcoin in 2026 without buying more?</title><description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve been looking into different ways people accumulate Bitcoin besides simply buying it or mining it.

Until now, earning yield on a shielded asset meant giving up the privacy to do it. Funds had to leave the privacy pool, pass through a public wallet and enter the protocol in the open. This integration removes that step. Your shielded STRK or strkBTC sits in STRK20’s privacy pool as an encrypted note. When you stake through Endur, the pool spends that note, Endur stakes the underlying, and the liquid staking token is returned to the pool as a fresh encrypted note in your name. Nothing touches your public wallet. The note holds a fixed amount of the LST while the exchange rate increases, so the position compounds while remaining unlinked to your address. Endur handles the staking side by delegating the underlying to Starknet validators, minting the LST and collecting rewards in the vault. For strkBTC, rewards arrive in STRK and are converted back before being reflected in the position. It is live now through privacy-compatible wallets including Xverse and Ready. See more on Starknet&#39;s X account. Disclosure: I work for the Starknet Foundation.

Their contributions to Bitcoin are showcased by three academic works referenced in the Bitcoin Whitepaper References section. These two legends have laid as much of Bitcoin’s groundwork as giants like Adam Back, Wei Dai and Hal Finney. In a recent interview, Stornetta repeated a theory about Satoshi that originated from his colleague, Stuart Haber. The Theory: when talking about Satoshi, “...we’re talking about one person, who was professionally a software engineer, and was really dabbling more with the cryptology as well as with the economic incentives...There’s one thing that I haven&#39;t seen anyone analyze, and that is the structure of the (Whitepaper) footnotes.” These suggest Satoshi was a “non-professional cryptologist” who “discovered this thing (Block Chain) by reading about it in the Encyclopedia of Cryptology.” - Scott Stornetta This characterization of Satoshi is not much of a ground breaking take. It is consistent with many others who have suggested that Satoshi was an individual polymath coder, not a group. But the detail about the Whitepaper footnotes and a mysterious book are interesting. What are the clues that relate the structure of the Whitepaper footnotes to this mystery encyclopedia? Has no one looked at this angle involving the Whitepaper footnotes before? The Satoshi Times went down this rabbit hole to see what could be found, and the details are fun. We found that there is an Encyclopedia of Cryptography and Security that was published in 2005 by Henk C. A. van Tilborg via Springer, that matches the description given by Stornetta. This pre-dates Bitcoin (2007-2008), and thus could have been a primary resource used by Satoshi Nakamoto in his invention of Bitcoin.

Another post-quantum algorithm massively neutralized. Now they&#39;re doubling the number of bits by default to fix this. This is not a new thing in cryptography. When RSA (one of the earliest public key cryptography algorithms) was first discovered, people thought that RSA keys are secure with a small size (~200 bits). Then what happened? Index-calculus-style techniques and the number field sieve algorithms and others were discovered, and they DESTROYED RSA that have smaller keys! That&#39;s why RSA keys are 2048+ bits nowadays. Same with some elliptic curves using MOV attack. The security of cryptographic algorithms DOES NOT ONLY depend on their parameters. It depends on what attacks humans (and AI now) can figure out. We&#39;re lucky Satoshi picked something that&#39;s secure for bitcoin, the Secp256k1 curve. Worked out well so far. Developing a secure quantum algorithm will take YEARS, and lots of algorithms will be broken. Rushing it doesn&#39;t help. Conclusion: Now imagine us moving to post-quantum in bitcoin, because everyone is rushing it, and we end up with a broken algorithm. Now THAT, would literally destroy bitcoin. Imagine the irony, where Secp256k1 is still safe, but the &quot;new shiny&quot; post-quantum algo is broken. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TheQuantumPhysicist [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/post-quantum-addresses-in-bitcoin-big-mistake-hawk-quantum-algorithm-broken</link><guid>876352</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Post-quantum addresses in bitcoin: BIG MISTAKE - HAWK quantum algorithm broken</dc:text></item><item><title>Everyone remembers their first…</title><description><![CDATA[I bet if you polled this community asking “which coin was your first cryptocurrency” you’d likely be able to tell what era they first invested.

The point here is none of this shows up in an audit or an attestation because thet are point-in-time checks by design. they answer &quot;was this true at the moment we looked.&quot; they don&#39;t answer &quot;is this still true right now, and will something flag it the second it stops being true.&quot; so real monitoring, the ongoing kind, ends up being its own separate layer, supply tracking, collateral/TVL tracking, contract integrity checks against known-good implementations, multisig validation before execution not after, and compliance monitoring for sanctions/AML patterns. none of them substitute for each other, a project can be airtight on contract security and still get wrecked by a governance issue nobody was watching for. curious what people here actually weight highest. if you had to bet on which of these categories issuers most often skip or underinvest in, which would it be? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Hacken_io [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/stablecoins-move-like-179t-a-month-and-most-teams-still-find-out-about-problems-after-the-peg-already-broke</link><guid>876115</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>stablecoins move like $1.79T a month and most teams still find out about problems after the peg already broke</dc:text></item><item><title>Fellow European Ledger Leak victims, did you know that what happened to you after the leak was just glimpse on what is comming at you since DAC8 laws are in place?</title><description><![CDATA[ &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/baddabaddabing [link] &#32; [comments] ]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/fellow-european-ledger-leak-victims-did-you-know-that-what-happened-to-you-after-the-leak-was-just-glimpse-on-what-is-comming-at-you-since-dac8-laws-are-in-place</link><guid>876110</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>Fellow European Ledger Leak victims, did you know that what happened to you after the leak was just glimpse on what is comming at you since DAC8 laws are in place?</dc:text></item><item><title>BTC Puzzle #135 solved by RetiredCoder</title><description><![CDATA[It took 5 months on 200GPUS.

The age of builder codes is now</title><description><![CDATA[Grants don&#39;t work. Chains have spent hundreds of millions, if not billions, in awarding grants to get builders on their on their chain. The result: smaller treasuries of hundreds of millions, if not billions, with little activity and revenue capture after the grants were awarded. There&#39;s a massive graveyard of dead web3 projects that received upfront funding from chains. The grant model is broken. A chain hands a team money before the team has proven anything, hopes they build something people use, and hopes they stick around after the check clears. We&#39;ve seen so many teams take the grant, ship something terrible, and move on. The chain is renting builders the same way chains rented liquidity with emissions (I&#39;ve spoken many times about this previously), &amp; it fails for the same reason: paying upfront for activity you&#39;re hoping shows up with no incentive to stick around. Enter builder codes. Instead of paying builders to show up, a composable platforms let them plug straight into their liquidity and earn by capturing fees on the volume they actually bring. The platform pays nothing upfront. The builder earns when they deliver real users &amp; real activity, and earns nothing when they don&#39;t. Both sides win only when something real and revenue generating happens. Both sides risk nothing. Builder codes, composable application, and pooled liquidity also solves the cold start problem. Most new well-intentioned projects would fail because they had to source liquidity, which most often meant pulling liquidity from more trusted platforms and convicning experienced crypto users to trust them with funds on an unproven, untested application. Nobody did this (reason: see the Block&#39;s latest report on $1B stolen in H1 2026). Lending platforms builders failed because people will low-risk tolerances weren&#39;t about their funds off Aave and Morpho. Dex devs failed to attract liquidity providers because people trusted Uniswap. Vault curators failed because depositors trust Yearn and Gauntlet. Perp builders failed because.... oh wait, we have a solution. Trading sucks when there&#39;s no liquidity. You get killed with slippage. A new perps app or trading frontend normally has to bootstrap its own liquidity before anyone will touch it, &amp; nobody wants to be the first dollar in an empty pool. But with builder you launch on day one into liquidity that&#39;s already deep, your users get real fills from the start, &amp; you spend all your time on product &amp; distribution instead of begging market makers. Most notably, we saw this with Hyperliquid and Tradexyz. They called it the AWS of liquidity: any frontend plugs into their books &amp; earns. By ecosystem counts, roughly 40% of Hyperliquid&#39;s daily active traders come through third-party frontends, &amp; builders have pulled in over $40M in fees. Tradexyz alone has done $7.74M in fees &amp; $2.84M in protocol revenue in the last 30 days (DeFiLlama). There&#39;s also PVPtrade, which has earned around $7.2M in builder-code revenue without ever launching a token. For new builders and projects looking to expand, I can&#39;t recommend Hyperliquid as the place to build as we see there are some incumbents and capturing fees will be a massive challenge, even if the product is superior. However, one of the most exciting places to build is on Katana and Katana Perps. Katana Perps have the same builder codes program and Katana perps are one of the very few perp dexes that&#39;s actually growing in transaction volume, liquidity, and revenue over the last few months. In just 5 months, it&#39;s gone from ~$1k, ~$2500, ~$63k, ~$80k, to over $100k in monthly revenue. Pro-tip: build in an ecosystem that&#39;s on a growth trajectory, not one that&#39;s slowly bleeding. There are a few early stage projects like Planemo Trading (algo trading) Clash of Perps (Clash of Clans meets DeFi) and a couple other projects like a market intelligence &amp; SocialFi app building, but the landscape is wide open for strong builders. One thing that&#39;s great about Katana is that it&#39;s a full DeFi ecosystem, not just a perp venue, &amp; it has no real incumbents yet. A genuinely good product launching on Katana builder codes right now can capture a big share of the market simply because nobody has locked it up. That window on Hyperliquid closed a year ago. So the pitch to builders is simple. Stop chasing grants. The money is in owning distribution &amp; capturing fees on real usage, and the platforms that let you do that without bootstrapping your own liquidity are where the next wave of products gets built. If you&#39;ve got a product and you&#39;ve been waiting on a grant to fund it, you&#39;re playing the old game. The age of grants is over. Builder codes are how you build now. Find ecosystems like Katana and ship great products and provide value to users and you&#39;ll win. &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/TimmyXBT [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/the-age-of-grants-is-over-the-age-of-builder-codes-is-now</link><guid>876116</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>The age of grants is over.

Now, memecoins account for over 79.2% of the network’s daily DEX volume. We then saw a strange fallout where their prominent launchpad Noxa went down unexpectedly 2 weeks ago, and then within days they announced they lost control of their website domains and have since gone dark. Ponsfamily appears to have taken the gap left behind by Noxa but expectedly this has led to CASHCAT crashing over 30%. That being said, RWA still remains a growing sector on Robinhood and interestingly has led to the rise of Memecoin x Stock liquidity pairings (just crypto things). All in all, Robinhood’s chain metrics suggest a successful launch and healthy metrics but that does start to raise questions about how Robinhood intends to position itself in the future, is it supposed to be the serious RWA-focused chain it built itself to be? Or should it pivot to become a retail/memecoin trading hub similar to that of Solana? Currently, their founders appear supportive of both sides. Just six days after telling CNBC that &quot;the future of crypto is in real-world assets&quot; and questioning the benefit of &quot;making a million different meme coins,&quot; CEO Vlad Tenev posted on X: &quot;While we&#39;re building Robinhood Chain to be the best chain for RWA... it works great for memes too.&quot; While I don&#39;t know how this would work It seems Robinhood Chain will be positioning itself as the chain where serious meets unserious.

The idea is simple: you can set automation rules based on Bitcoin price surges and dips (for example, trigger actions when BTC drops 5% or pumps 8%). I’m still improving it and would genuinely appreciate constructive criticism on what would make it more useful for Bitcoin users. UI, features, strategy ideas, or anything else.

Right now, I have a throwaway laptop running 24/7 with Claude code and a few other agent frameworks continuously monitoring the market and testing different strategies. It’s still fairly experimental, but I expect the API usage to become quite heavy, so I’ll probably need to move onto a paid plan at some point. The actual trading side is mostly covered. I already have integrations and basic harnesses set up for popular CEXs and DEXs like Coinbase, Binance and Uniswap. What I’m less sure about is the market data part. I’m looking for an API that can help the agent: - Track coins, tokens and liquidity pools that are gaining interest - Spot narratives and trends reasonably early - Pull reliable pricing, volume and historical data - Verify token contracts and flag obvious scam or security risks - Cover both centralized exchanges and onchain markets - Run continuously without becoming ridiculously expensive I’m not trying to build an HFT, MEV or sniper bot where every millisecond matters. I’m assuming there will already be some delay from the AI reasoning process, so I’m more interested in medium-term strategies where the agent can research a trend, validate it and then decide whether to act. I’m also not looking for anything overly complex or expensive at the blockchain-node level, like Bitquery or running my own infrastructure. That seems excessive for what I’m trying to build. At the moment, I’m running on the free coingecko api plan and leaning towards paying for it because it seems fairly complete in terms of asset and network coverage, latency, onchain data and additional information such as news and token security indicators. Those extra signals seem useful for a mostly hands-off AI workflow. That said, I haven’t committed to anything yet and I’m interested in hearing from people who have actually built something similar. Some alternatives I have in mind as well are cmc, coinpaprika, and finage api. What API or combination of APIs are you guys using and actually worth paying for? Are there any major limitations I should know about before subscribing to any of these? &#32; submitted by &#32; /u/Unable-Awareness8543 [link] &#32; [comments]]]></description><link>https://facebook-gameroom.coinsnews.com/whats-the-best-crypto-api-for-a-trading-bot-that-runs-247</link><guid>875967</guid><author>COINS NEWS</author><dc:content /><dc:text>What’s the best crypto API for a trading bot that runs 24/7?</dc:text></item><item><title>Daily General Discussion July 29, 2026</title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Daily General Discussion on r/ethereum https://imgur.com/3y7vezP Bookmarking this link will always bring you to the current daily: https://old.reddit.com/r/ethereum/about/sticky/?num=2 Please use this thread to discuss Ethereum topics, news, events, and even price!
