looking forward to it ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ
Yeah I just scaled the image to require less pixels and compressed it. 3mb
Thatโ€™s very easy. Step 1) suppose the secure element is backdoored Step 2) stay air gapped forever Step 3) input your own entropy from dice rolls Step 4) after signing a transaction, verify the transaction signature on your own node before broadcasting (which I believe but am not certain is done anyway)โ€ฆjust in case the signature is invalid and merely an attempt to disclose private key or seed or something else nefarious. Step 5) recognize that after the above, a back doored chip can do nothing nefarious other than sign incorrectly, in which case you need a new signing device/hardware wallet.
The sexiest TI83 I've ever seen. Thank you. Going to do so much math on this!
Step 1: Don't rely on a secure element in the first place as most use cases are fine with a stateless device. Step 2: Save a truck load of money. The end.
If you think any coldcard device is a truckload of money, you need to work harder and stack longer. Then there will come a time when such things are cheap. But youโ€™re right, stateless is often good enough. I treat my coldcard as stateless
Most content on the web is absurdly high quality in my opinion. And most people arenโ€™t consuming it from a 40 inch screen where they can notice. Now what I did was a pretty silly hack job to just cut it down significantly. I dropped 2 or 3 frames per second cut the width and height in pixels down significantly and then used whatever compression my video compression app uses. So I can see the reduction in quality a bit on my phone. But as most of us are using 5 inch or less screens to do most of our scrolling itโ€™s a fine trade off in my opinion. Think about the infrastructure here. It hurts my heart a little to know that the default resolution and quality settings being sent to image and video hosting sites, and the data consumption up and down every time someone reads a image or watches a video is sufficient for an 4K 60 inch screen. Or the publishing quality 30 inch photo graph. Could be nice if the clients could hook in a compression library with some sane defaults for mobile viewing. It could decrease the data requirements for everyone and improve user experience by being a lighter lift for any client trying to download and play content.
The funny thing is, all ya gotta do is buy bitcoin and wait. The more you buy and the sooner you start waiting the better. But youโ€™ll likely never be as rich as me. I played the fiat harvesting game well and got blessed by bitcoin long ago.
Thatโ€™s probably because 60fps videos are smooth. I think AV1 will make things better in that regard. AV1 encodes videos are ~30% smaller in size than HEVC and royalty free. Just like HEVC is taxing on the CPU but it should become standard as every device gets specialized extensions to decode it just as it was with HEVC.
You do highlight my point thou. For the majority of plebs, hardware wallets like this, arent really needed. Even for you it's likely still a waste of sats, you're better off with something else, unless you're making regular large transactions.
Itโ€™s a convenience item. I use it in paranoid mode. But I donโ€™t have to. You can calculate your own private keys by hand from dice rolls, but I choose not to. But nobody would ever disagree that minimizing trust is always safe, presuming you donโ€™t outsmart yourself.
