Every account affected by the September 19 incident has been made whole. We restored each account to its exact pre-incident balance. Affected users were notified directly before this post. Thank you to our mission-aligned shareholders who stepped in.

On July 29th, I lost $1.6 million in bitcoin in the Coldcard hack. It was my entire stack. Happy to share that I bought Bitcoin again today, allocating 5% of my remaining portfolio back into BTC. Yes, a company failed. BTC is stronger than ever.

Blink services are back online. The vulnerability behind the incident has been fixed and verified, and access has been restored for all unaffected accounts. If your account was not affected, you can continue as usual. Accounts of affected users will remain locked temporarily. Non-custodial balances were never affected. A full post-mortem will follow. Thank you for your patience. Questions? Reach us at [email protected].
Replying to @blinkbtc
Update: A few dozen custodial accounts were affected by the incident. Every affected account is identified and will be made whole. If you were affected, there's nothing you need to do. If you have questions, reach out at [email protected] any time. Non-custodial balances are unaffected.

We've paused Blink services while we investigate a security incident. An attacker accessed a limited number of custodial accounts and withdrew funds. The large majority of funds are secure. Non-custodial wallets are not affected.

#SPEDN [email protected] btcmap.org/merchant/27366 Hard work pays off! ⚡️ Cohort 6 has officially started, and our students just received their very first weekly attendance rewards for achieving a full 100% attendance rate in their class program this past week! Seeing the big smiles as they spent their Bitcoin at John’s Shop through the Lightning Network is what this journey is all about—learning, showing up, and experiencing real-world financial freedom firsthand. 🛒🍬 A massive shoutout and heartfelt THANK YOU to @BitcoinMoonFund for sponsoring our organization and making these empowering rewards possible! 🧡🌐

Nostr is a beautiful protocol
nostr is extremely easy to build on. flip a coin to generate a key, sign a json, send over websocket. that's it.
