That too, but the response was immediate., A human wouldn't have had enough time to read it.

2026-08-03 18:03:25 UTC

- reply

No. That was the video presenter's opinion at the time, but the latest ColdCard vulnerability has proven him wrong.
The issue we know now is that the onboard RNG was also not sufficient. People just believed it was at the time, including this video presenter, and advised users against complicating their setup by adding their own dice rolls or adding a passphrase they might lose.
The speed with which you responded makes me think you're a bot, but replying was still necessary to keep others from being confused.

2026-08-03 17:57:43 UTC

- reply

Not sure if this is it.
I watched the video and the danger he points out is not the ColdCard's onboard entropy generation, but the ability to create a wallet using dice rolls alone and people creating wallets with too low an amout of dice rolls (less than 50). His problem is that the UI doesn't prevent people from creating wallets with that few dice rolls, and that it can appear that the dice rolls are being added to onboard RNG, when that is not the case when the user selects dice only.
In fact, his advice is the same as what got us into this mess: "Just trust the onboard RNG if you don't know what you're doing. Maybe add a passphrase, but even that can be dangerous because the more you complicate your setup, the more likely you will forget how to access your funds and lose all your money."
From what I could tell, he had no warning in the video about the onboard RNG for creating adequate entropy whatsoever.

Well, to be fair, multisig is great... as long as all the keys aren't generated by devices made by the same manufacturer...
Some are learning the hard way that "multi-vendor multisig" was not so paranoid after all.

2026-08-03 16:51:41 UTC

- reply

People are understandably hurt and angry. They trusted their ColdCard to be a safe and reliable device, or they know someone who did, and it was on the basis of the high recommendadion of so many in the Bitcoin community.
Now, in their anger, they are lashing out at anyone they deem blameworthy. Those more closely connected with NVK or anything he is associated with, especially @nprofile…uazd, are going to get the brunt of that, because it's easy to assume monetary incentive to turn a blind eye.
But I know you. I know you were just as blindsided by this as the rest of us.
Trust that others who know you also know better, and roll with the punches that come from those who don't, because you know the hurt and anger that is behind them.

I am the patriarchy of my family.
Many will balk at that statement, but my wife and daughters love and respect me enough to gladly follow my lead.
That does not mean I am perfect, as I often make mistakes. That is why I LISTEN to them and take their perspectives into account.
But at the end of the day, whether I go with their suggestion or not, the responsibility for the outcome rests on my shoulders, as God intended.

This is Karlštejn Castle, built in the 14th century by King Charles IV of Bohemia, who became the Holy Roman Emperor. For a time it housed the Imperial Crown Jewels.
The castle has been beautifully preserved in a form similar to how it would have looked in the medieval period when it was built.

This statue comemorates Jan Hus, a Bohemian proto-reformer of the 14th century who preached in Czech at Bethlehem Chapel in Prague. This was unheard of during his day, when mass was held only in Latin, which most common men did not understand.
He was burned at the stake in Constance, Germany on July 6th, 1415 because, inspired by John Wycliffe, he wanted the Bible to be available in the language of the people and because he preached against indulgences, and other errors and corruption in the church.
The inscription on the base of the statue says, "For the Truth."

I see my mutes! Took a minute. I had to make a change to publish a new version of my list from Amethyst, so it must not have been able to find my previous one. Looks great now!
Search relays all loaded properly, too.

I'll be away for a few weeks. Won't have opportunity to test anything new and shiny. Will definitely be excited to do so when I get back home, though!

Forgive the article spam from me over the next few minutes. I am updating my articles with some hashtags that I am hoping will make my new blog site automatically categorize them.

Wonderful Lord's day worshiping with God's people here in North Idaho!
Will miss them over the next two Lord's days, but looking forward to seeing the Holy Spirit work in the hearts of those who hear the gospel in Prague!

Yeah, I had my Hermes Agent create a report on the read and write relays that my follows have listed in their kind 10002 and legacy kind 3 relay lists.
The first 25 or so ranked by number of npubs reading or writing from the relay is not bad. Mostly solid relays that are all still online. After that it goes downhill fast.

Pretty hilarious. My Nostr license says I joined back in 1975. I believe that's because I was messing around with posting notes with false timestamps.

Some of y'all got some long dead relays in your relay lists.

Very true. As a general rule for anyone just using the version available in Umbrel's app store, though, it definitely applies.

I wouldn't recommend running NostrRSrelay on Umbrel as a public relay. It's intended to just be a private backup of your notes for a reason.
The GUI is on the same port as the relay, so if you expose the relay at 'wss://relay.yourdomain.com' the GUI will be accessible at the same domain, but 'https://', and NostrRSrelay has no authentication required to access the GUI.
Now, there's not much that someone can do from that GUI, but they can change out the npub whose notes are automatically backed up to any other npub... Then you end up with content hosted on your relay that you did not intend nor want.

Absolutely! If it's encrypted, it should stay encrypted unless the user actively chooses to publish it in plain text.
