Coremunists do this too.

I believe the attacker is interested in skewing short term miner profitability for perceived consensus hijacking, short term prices for state or other aggressors' bitcoin acquisitions, and long term Bitcoin pleb social stigma. View quoted note →

Prediction: the most prominent ColdCard retirement attack thief sells substantial portions of the stolen funds directly to the miner fee using onchain transactions with no outputs or very small outputs (huge miner fee) shortly after the BIP-110 mandatory signalling height. If there is a chainsplit, they may or may not mix the stolen coins they control with a coin derived from the coinbase on one or the other branch of the split so to commit that transaction ONLY to that side, whether keeping the coin for himself or giving it up to the miner fee, or (less likely except in case of collusion) sending to another entity. This will allow the attacker to pick which chain to support or dump on, via miner subsidy (short term burst in mining profitability) or via dumping if colluding with a large liquidity custodial entity like an exchange or treasury company to make the coins effectively saleable (could be coordinated by unaccountable state agents infiltrating/working with major Bitcoin companies).

Coinkite. More like Theft, Incorporated. ©️&™️ @N a.k.a. Sternerite Spook, a.k.a. Aggressor Extraordinaire, a.k.a. "morality doesn't exist but it's immoral for you to compete with my company, also don't criticize my company, also don't review my code, also Seedsigner is awful and Knots is unsafe, also I'm domain squatting on seedsigner.***, also sorry, all your Bitcoin is gone now and that's ok, I'm still selling ColdCards with broken firmware but it's 18% off, yay! also make sure you update the firmware yourself, also it may brick the ColdCard to update the firmware, also we delete customer records for privacy but also that was always a lie, we never did, so yeah we technically can refund you, but we will instead choose to go bankrupt and escape with customer bitcoin."

NVK is a monopolist. IP is not property. It is a monopoly grant from the state. View article →

I think this is a state level attack on Bitcoin. To help centralize it and defame it. View quoted note →
