Seem to offended you. BTC has traded sideways for 5 years and is sold as a replacement currency with a key feature being safety and security. On the flip side, we are seeing technical revolution at an incredible pace in the space sector, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and the entire ai build out. If during this gold rush you haven’t come up with a strategy that both incorporates high growth plays and risk mitigation and instead are just putting it all into BTC - you sir are the vibes investor

I wrote a post looking to discuss all the aspects of BTC custody and operations that rely on software. I think it's a good time for us to educate ourselves on *all* the places there might be oopsies waiting, and crowd source ways to prevent this.  That post has been awaiting moderation approval since last night. This and other posts reek of AI and slide right through? P.S. Sorry if I'm wrong, losing 1BTC would be horrible. It just has that smell to it (drama one liner intro, setup then punch line, "and the worst part?", not x but y). You're not posting details like an address or timeline as others have done, either.

I'm really sorry for your loss. Try not to beat yourself up or feel embarrassed. You did everything right based on the information and setup you had, and taking responsibility to build that security for your family in the first place shows your intent and commitment. The silver lining is that BTC is down right now, which means you're still early. The market is giving you an entry point to stack back up, and the knowledge and discipline you built getting to 1 BTC the first time haven't gone anywhere. You know how to do this, and you can get back there.

Mentions:#BTC

Because an AI was able to discover the problem in 8 minutes, that should be a huge red flag and something that the CC software engineers should have double triple quadruple checked. The entire security of the wallet hinges on that RNG call functioning correctly and they fucked up big time and it's now cost people tens of millions of dollars. Even if their code was written before AI was as advanced as it is now, that's basically the entire point of the security of the wallet and they messed it up. Also that comment as you understand it isn't entirely correct but gets the main idea right. Basically, there should have been x number of possible combinations that would lead to the seed phrases being damn near impossible to crack with current technology. There's this idea called the birthday paradox where when you have a room of just 23 people there is approximately a 50% chance that 2 of those people share the same birthday. When CC improperly implemented entropy in their wallets, they called ONLY the software RNG and not the hardware RNG on the secure chip in the actual hardware wallet. In doing so, they minimized the pool of possible combinations for seed phrases from an astronomical number of combinations (approximately 340 undecillion combinations) to a much more manageable pool of combinations (roughly 1.1 trillion). After that all the attacker had to do was replicate the possible combinations of the 40 bits of entropy and then begin generating wallets. This is where the birthday paradox comes into play, once he could generate a wallet that had a crossover with an already existing wallet with the same seed phrase, he queried a large cryptocurrency exchange to determine if those wallets he matched up with had any UTXOs (evidence of transactions to and from the wallet) to decide if they were a good target to sweep the btc from. He likely did this all in the background for some time before actually implementing the attack so they could steal as much as possible before the attack became a known issue. Basically CC majorly fucked up and left their wallets unsecure for years and someone finally discovered this issues and then weaponized it to steal tens of millions in BTC. This post just shows that CC should have been auditing their own internal code because an AI agent discovered the issue in a matter of minutes. This issue is also still present on the newer generations of cold cards as well albeit not nearly as severe. Even on the MK 4 and MK 5 wallets, they are only implementing 72 bits of entropy (4.7 sextillion possible combinations) which makes them significantly more secure but still much more vulnerable than a wallet with the correct 128 or 256 bits of entropy. This is entirely on CC and the fact that this went unnoticed for so long or even if they did notice it and continued to just push a fundamentally broken product out to their customers, it's just unacceptable. They had a responsibility to their customers to create a product as they promised which was secure, and safe, and they did the opposite and now here we are. This post is just shining a light on how incredibly terrible their fuck up was.

Mentions:#CC#BTC#MK

From me too. I did nothing different except using another wallet because coldcard is not that popular in Europe I believe. It could have been me. You did nothing wrong, the company did. And anyone now saying: "Obviously do you own RNG, who trusts a device?" >99% of hardware wallet users. I know this won't fix anything for affected people, but I hope this blows over quick. After all, the problem were weak wallets because of a faulty product. BTC did not get hacked. Ibit is NOT a safer place. If coldcard had a bigger user base I wonder if we would have seen two coldcards generating the same wallet sooner or later if this would have continued undetected.

Most micro-earning methods (games, faucets, testnets) end up paying way below minimum wage when you factor in time spent. ​The most underrated, genuine way? Invoicing in BTC. ​If you do any freelance work (tech, design, content, consulting), just ask clients if they're open to paying via Lightning or On-Chain, or use a service that automatically converts a portion of your invoice to BTC. It turns active income into instant DCA without relying on gimmicks.

Again, not true. What was done to these holders was a CRIME, so it’s clearly hyperbolic to say there are no protections. What you mean to say is there’s no sophisticated process where someone else insures your repair when damaged. That’s entirely different.

By that same logic, how do you know it will go up? All we have is historical data, which suggests BTC operates in 4 year cycles. I subscribe to that logic, whilst also  watching liquidity, Fed policy and ETF flows rather than counting months from the halving.  This has worked well for me, and I’ll continue to apply that logic. Not financial advice, obviously, and you know your own position better than I do.

In the previous post he just pointed Claude at the codebase and said look for vulnerabilities which is likely the exact same thing he's done here. You're talking about reproducibility so maybe just ... Go do it? If you're so concerned about OPs process then go ask it yourself. It's also 100% not a false positive as it is the EXACT know issue that has been reported by numerous independent labs that have looked into the vulnerability as well as the exact issue described by coinkite in their own write up. The code does not properly call the hardware RNG element and thus the software only RNG call introduces ~40 bits of entropy when the minimum standard is 128 bits of entropy and 256 bits being even better. It's not just making something up and pulling it out of its ass it's describing the exact issue that cause approximately 1,300 BTC to be stolen. How can you be so skeptical with the evidence literally right in front of your face?

BTC right now is just an interesting idea, no different from any other idea. It has no value itself. It only has value because people think when they get some particular zeros and ones, others have less to get. Crypto fundamentally relies on peripheral tech to maintain its value (paper/pen, CC exchange, etc). However, when you can't truely trust that what you get you can keep, then it's really nothing but a bad idea. With AI hacking coming, I don't really see how you can really expect to have truely safe crypto.

Well let's put it simply, as long as your BTC average cost is below 100k you are likely to be in profit sooner or later again. It is unlikely that prices will not recover. Everything else though...

BTC is currently not on track to become a fiat replacement, and that is fine.

I always thought airgapped wallets were pointless and stayed with Trezor because their source code is on Github. So glad I did. Thank you God! My Trezor is the older Model T. I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a while and now is a great time. I went ahead and bought a new Safe 5 (btc only) for better entropy than the Model T. Nothing is wrong with the Model T, but I’m not taking any chances after recent events. This also shows that YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET. If you’re lucky enough to hold over 1 BTC, split it between a multiple hardware wallets from different manufacturers who have a better reputation (Trezor, Ledger). I also use BlueWallet on iPhone (open source). I keep some on the Strike app (custodial wallet, I trust Jack Mallers) and also hold FBTC in my Fidelity account.  Hardware wallets are for long term holds, soft wallets are for spending, and ETFs are for short/medium term holds where I take profit during bull markets. Never put more than 50% in one spot. I’m not saying this is for everyone, but it’s what I do. If one thing gets hacked, you still have at least half your coins still. Stay safe out there friends.

The issue is that the "code" that generate these words is not randomized enough, and someone found out how to get all these possível generate words. It's about as ELI5 I can

If BTC isn't fundamentally secure, your ETF stake is worth zero.

Look.... BTC is a commodity and a tool of freedom, not a religion which wants to eliminate fiat. Both btc and fiat have their benefits and drawbacks and RISKS. Smart investors know that, and use both because they can cherrypick benefits of both systems.

Generate a wallet on an air-gapped Linux PC. It's probably the biggest pain to work with and the least intuitive, but it's the safest way to store your BTC, if done right.

Confiscating all ETF BTC is only one button. Going after every Bitcoiner would cost more.

With KYC/AML/SOF requirements at every on/off ramp nowadays, what's the real advantage of holding BTC in a wallet, unless you wanna transact 24/7 or think P2P commerce will be viable if SHTF and government dissolves, along with taxes and reporting. Granted, maybe your coin is non-KYC and you have ways to spend pseudo-anonymously. You'll get SIPC protection with IBIT or FBTC in a brokerage account, and getting a margin loan in lieu of booking capital gains will be quick and easy.

"reporting your issue will help understand the extent of the situation and will help others understand their own losses". How so? You lost what you lost 1.01 BTC. Others lost what they lost. And the technical details of what happened have been explained here a zillion times. What is left to understand? I hope yours is not one of those bitcoin recovery scams.

At this point, BTC has became garbage-ware.

How dumb are these hackers, wasting time and resources to steal worthless stuff. Oh wait, that's right, BTC just touched 0 USD.

This is really besides the point. This is only valid if the attacker already has your seed (private key). If they don't then the posted chart is misleading. I explain in another post: Basically the attacker went through trillions of combinations to find vulnerable wallets. If they looked at an address, but they couldn't hack it, they have two choices. Spend another thousands of attempts on EVERY of the trillions of attempts for a very weak passphrase, or spend a bit more than thousands for a non weak passphrase, WITHOUT knowing if the address comes from vulnerable wallet. MK3 had entropy of 2\^40. Around 15M addresses on the blockchain have money (assumption). 1.1t iterations (or half for 50% chance) have to be done on eachaddress to find out if it's vuln. Multiply this with 4096 for a dictionaly passphrase (the weakest i guess, as coldcard offers it - upper/lowerase versions of the seed words). So... the Q is... if the attacker goes through lowest hanging frutis and highest payment (>0.15BTC) per address, and then they go through the lower amounts (<0.15BTC) and then they might go to assume that every address they could not hack, is vuln but with passphrase, and scan 15M addresses again with 1.1T \* 4K (minimum uppercase/lowercase single seed word assuming nobody puts a passphrase of 'a') = 4,400 trillions of attempts for 15millions addresses... doable, but ... has nothing to do with the posted image

Your assumption that you'll easily find equities with a higher potential for growth than BTC while in a late stage tech bubble at ATH while BTC is down 50% in its typical cyclical bear market set to reverse within the next 6 months... makes it clear that you are just a vibes based investor who really should think twice before giving advice.

Lost 0.6 BTC on mintpal in 2013. Crypto is all about stealing money from people.

Not your code, not your entropy, not your Bitcoin. A painful and important lesson, but it’s a shame he had to pay 30BTC to learn it.

I wouldn't call them dumb, they're criminal millionaires now. But yes, using just one was wallet was probably a mistake. I hope they make more mistakes and the BTC is returned to the owners, but it's a long shot.

Man, I'm really sorry. 2 BTC gone after years of holding through everything else that could've shaken you out — that's not just money, that's time you can't get back, and it's okay to grieve that. What you wrote about the race is something I think a lot of people need to hear right now. Chasing "first" burns people out and makes losses like this feel like the end of the story. But finishing, on your own terms, at whatever pace that's still a full life either way. You're 39, not done, not out of runway. For what it's worth, doubting Bitcoin after this doesn't make you weak or wrong. It makes you human. Take the time you need before deciding what you believe again, if anything. No rush. Hope you're doing something kind for yourself today.

It's people who don't know how to secure that got f'd over by this. And also the people who invested a lot in BTC. If you only had 0.0000001 BTC, you'd just let it go. If your wallet was secure, you'd not be a victim. So yeah, all victims probably have very similar circumstances.
