We have been testing the bitchimney for many weeks now. We imported them from the US and a critical bug was found. Multiple machines were broken in the testing process. Now we needed to do an update, one of our friends who insisted on getting a few already, wrote an automatic updater to make life easy… Bitcoiners are amazing. We still don’t have the product on our webshop yet. We are giving it another week of thorough testing. The pictures by our pro photographer are ready though 🔥

Let’s address a claim directly. Someone sends an email, stating they can get products from your website at a cheaper price elsewhere. We say that is ok. The person insists on getting a certain order with specific details in the package. Quite some emails were sent up and down. The order was made for a very specific number of products. The day after DHL confirmed delivery we received an email: the package never arrived. So we started the process on both sides with DHL. We received confirmation from the delivery guy and DHL that the package was delivered. Directly the customer starts to threat with a lawyer and killing our webshop via ACM and Webwinkelkeur if we don’t deliver the package (again) or give the money back. Letters were directly being sent by a lawyer. As we now have received double confirmation from DHL, we simply can’t do this. Otherwise we have to give the money back or resend the package for every person that claims a package did not arrive while it did… So now a new x account has been created in October, this account below. Today we started to receive emails from webwinkelkeur, suppliers (where we have years long relationships with) and other people that they are receiving emails and messages that we are “breaking the law”. Our lawyer simply asked us to not respond, because we are not. But now that we are starting to receive negative reviews and seeing these online posts from a fresh account we’re starting to get worried about the intentions of this “person”. Does the bitcoin community have further advise on this?

You picture - we zap View quoted note →

If you zap us, or we zap you. Understand we are now using @Alby hub for it. We have opened quite some channels and looking forward to up the zapping. People that have bought with us and post pics of their setups or even just the package or post about it are to be zapped. It’s like after delivery discount 🔥😂

We are running an ad on X. Just tick tock next block. Will be seen by 30 million people.

Tbh, grok 2 beta explains this @COLDCARD feature really well. We’ve been testing and using it since the feature was launched. For people that want their passwords offline next to their 2FA device (often yubikey or @Blockstream Jade) for maximum security. The backup functionality on steel with Seedfan writing down the numbers with which password is saved under which iteration is fantastic. The seedwords on the other steelplate… we will see massive growth of these offline password and 2FA devices, because everything connected to online directly is becoming a major risk. “The BIP84 password manager on the Coldcard Q is considered a game changer for several reasons: 1. **Enhanced Security with Seed-Based Passwords:** - BIP84 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 84) on the Coldcard Q allows for generating passwords deterministically from the master seed. This means that passwords are derived from your seed phrase, ensuring that if you lose your Coldcard but have your seed phrase, you can regenerate all your passwords securely. This provides an extra layer of security since the passwords are not stored anywhere but are generated on-the-fly. 2. **Offline Password Generation:** - Since Coldcard Q is a hardware wallet designed for offline security, the password management occurs entirely offline, significantly reducing the risk of keyloggers, malware, or other online threats intercepting your passwords during generation or use. 3. **USB Keyboard Emulation:** - The Coldcard Q can emulate a USB keyboard to type in passwords directly into applications or websites. This feature eliminates the need to manually enter passwords, which can be prone to mistakes or shoulder surfing. It also speeds up the process of entering complex passwords. 4. **QR Code and NFC Functionality:** - Passwords can be exported via QR codes or NFC, allowing for secure transfer to other devices without needing to type them out. This is particularly useful for securely sharing passwords between devices or for importing into other secure systems. 5. **Compatibility and Standards:** - Using BIP84 ensures compatibility with standard wallet derivation paths, making it easier to integrate with other software wallets or services that support BIP39/BIP84 standards. This interoperability is crucial for users who might want to use their passwords across different platforms. 6. **Flexibility and Control:** - Users can generate a virtually unlimited number of unique, high-entropy passwords from their seed, each associated with an index number. This allows for organizing passwords for different services or accounts, all while maintaining security and control over the generation process. 7. **Backup and Recovery:** - Since passwords are derived from the seed, if you have your seed phrase, you can recover all associated passwords on any compatible device, not just another Coldcard Q. This feature is invaluable for emergency situations where you might need to access your passwords from a different device. 8. **Plausible Deniability and Privacy:** - Similar to using passphrases for creating different wallets, BIP84 passwords offer a way to maintain privacy. You might share one set of passwords while keeping another set secret, enhancing privacy and security through compartmentalization. The combination of these features transforms the Coldcard Q into not just a Bitcoin hardware wallet but also a secure, versatile password manager that leverages cryptographic best practices to manage digital security in a way that's both user-friendly and highly secure. This integration into a single device simplifies security management while potentially reducing the attack surface compared to using multiple tools for different security functions.”

Due to high demand we added the special glow in the dark back in our stock for these dark days… also orange has been heavily restocked. @COLDCARD

Our first wrapped with holiday paper package has been ordered, and fulfilled for the holidays. What do you think this cypherpunks wife will receive as a present? If you know the “I’m going to make you mine” meme you’ll probably guess it right 😂

Omdat er nu wat meer gesproken wordt over het unbanken van bedrijven en personen op dit platform. In iets meer dan 5 minuten: - We konden 2 jaar geen euro’s ontvangen - Wat kosten euro betalingen VS bitcoin betalingen - Wat zijn voor / nadelen van bitcoin betalingen

Please pump the Moscow time further for we are receiving a dirty fiat payment that will directly be exchanged for freedom money.

Working on something for the holidays…

Plebs are amazing. This was created by @Purple Horse love it. #bitaxe
