FYI - old friends suddenly messaging you wanting to have a meeting means their account got hacked and the hacker is using AI to phish the replies.

The MadBitcoins Trading Card is the first example of a Patreon-style model on Ethereum. This Historical Card featuring Curio co-founder @MadBitcoins was released to raise funds for his crypto YouTube channel, which began covering Bitcoin in 2013.

🚨 A 3rd wave in what we suspect are hacks of Coldcard-generated addresses has been identified in which 207.7294 BTC has been drained. Our estimated observed size of the Coldcard hack is now 1,367.05 BTC (~$88.6m) across 4,585 addresses. More updates in the thread below 👇
We identified a 2nd wave of sweeps likely attributed to the same Coldcard hacker as the wave we described in the thread below. We are now tracking 1,158.81 BTC stolen from 2,673 addresses and held unspent across 7 attacker addresses. Updates to our analysis from yesterday 👇

This is worse than any previous Bitcoin exchange hack. It is arguably one of the worst things that could happen. The popular hardware wallet COLDCARD has a faulty random number generator (RNG). Funds are being drained from ordinary users’ hardware wallets as you read this. Users first reported to Block less than 24 hours ago that funds were moving out of their wallets. The exploit was most likely discovered with the help of AI. Block has confirmed that the RNG is broken. You know what that means. There are likely already multiple attackers competing for the affected BTC. Many more will join very soon. Nobody knows how much BTC is affected. Nobody knows how many users are affected. This attack has only just begun, and it will continue until all affected BTC has been drained unless users secure their funds first. Inevitably, many Bitcoiners will not hear about the incident early enough to respond in time. I am truly saddened for everyone affected, especially those who may have just lost their life savings. The worst part is that they did everything right.

I'm a software engineer with an MSc in Computer Science and 25+ years in the industry. Here's why Coinkite's Coldcard bug isn't an oopsy, it's disqualifying. Coldcard's seed generation silently fell back to a non-cryptographic "random" number generator for 5 years. Not because crypto is hard, but because Coinkite violated the most basic rule of secure system design: fail closed, never open. When a security-critical path can't be verified, the system refuses to run and throws an error. It does not quietly substitute something weaker and carry on. This code should have refused to produce a seed. Instead it produced a predictable one and continue silently. ☠️ A company that lets its most critical code path go unverified for half a decade cannot be trusted with your keys. Throw away your Coldcards. Never buy one again.

I'm so proud of my good friend Max Hillebrand for completing such an excellent book. Max is a true cypherpunk, deeply respected within the Austrian School and one of the nicest humans i know. The comment he wrote within left a tear in my eye. Buy yours: amzn.eu/d/0j91eDNY
