NOBODY SHOULD BE SAVING IN CASH. Even people who don't own bitcoin like me know that. This is a strawman argument for bitcoin
Trust nobody. And yes. Very likely. Corporations in america, esp. Tech are becoming quite brazen these days. They are souless institutions with zero moral fabric. This is not person youre dealing with but an evil entity many people and many rules. Primary rule= make money nomatter what. They rape pillage plunder and steal and they are all in it together. You think Coinbase doesnt have some pull with the media conglomerates? With the cftc the dep of justice, literally TRUST NOBODY!
Yeah, while I appreciate the thought, two things come to mind: 1. NOBODY should download and run this. Seriously, I don't care if the author claims it's small, simple, open source, auditable, local, etc. It's horrible practice to trust your cryptography to a rando. 2. Don't roll your own crypto. It's great if you do this for yourself while trying to learn. And as a caveat to #1 above, if you're looking to understand this space better and maybe roll your own random generator as an exercise for the reader, go to town and check it out. But if a "professional, commercial" development team like Coinkite is getting zonked by trivial bugs and vulnerable fallbacks that they didn't properly vet, the chances of that happening to a random solo dev is way higher. Do what makes you comfortable, but keep close in mind that you don't know what you don't know, and that could be vast.
Not a direct answer, but: anyone messaging you to offer help is a scammer. NOBODY who can truly help will do it in private messages. Do not trust ANYONE that messages you to help, with this, or ANY other part of crypto.
