Gray. CTO and co-founder of Coinkite. Goes by “doc-hex” online. Bachelor of Mathematics from Waterloo. Programmer since before there was a commercial web, by his own bio. Still codes every day, still an active CTO, not just a name on the letterhead.\n\nHe’s Irish based now. Founded four companies total, angel invests in a handful more, mostly UK and Ireland fintech. But Coinkite is the one that matters here. He’s the guy who actually wrote the firmware.\n\nPart 2: How He and NVK Got Here\n\n\t2011.\tGray reads the Bitcoin whitepaper, gets hooked, brings it to his business partner. That partner is Rodolfo Novak. Not a chance meeting. They already ran a company together, Ripe Apps, before Bitcoin was even on the radar.\n\nThey build btclook.com, a blockchain explorer, just to scratch the itch. Can’t find a wallet they actually like. So in 2013 they build their own and call it Coinkite. Started as a bitcoin banking and payment terminal play before it pivoted hard into hardware.\n\nPart 3: The Part We’re Still Verifying\n\nThere’s a claim circulating that the specific commit tied to the broken RNG path, the libngu integration, traces back to Gray’s authorship on GitHub. \n\n"}
