Don't Trust. Verify.
The Coldcard exploit isn’t just a vendor failure. It’s a community failure.
The code was available, and everyone trusted the reputation, the marketing and the assurances—but too few of us actually verified.
With AI-assisted auditing, nearly anyone can now examine open-source software and help find bugs like this. Instead everyone vibe coded new toys.
Open source only protects us when we inspect it.
It's a harsh lesson. Our hearts go out to everyone who has lost sats.

I thought the code was not open source?
