No. If they do, plebs are morons and deserve to get rugged at that point.

Dude's legacy is mired with controversy. Controversy as a result of the way he does business. Many are not just finding this out. The rest won't have anything else to do with him and his projects. It's karma.

Do you really think none of the Coinkite devs knew? Their products have been generating vulnerable seeds for six years, yet they focus on physical security gimmicks while the seed itself is at risk remotely...

No. If they do, it’s because their users are as dumb as a bang of hammers.

No one in their right mind will ever recommend a Coinkite product. Though when I really think about it, there will be apologists who will say the issue has been patched and there's nothing to worry about. And if the podcast circuit somehow decides to give Coinkite the benefit of the doubt, they'll keep shilling for them. There's a possibility that this gets swept under the rug if people don't keep up the pressure to call out NVK for this every time he tries to puff himself up in the future. I for one hope Coinkite goes under for this.

I do.

he said "think"...

No. Their devices were way too technical anyway. They were niche. And now they’re done.

coinkite should shut down but someone else should fork the cold cards 👀 make them FOSS View quoted note →

No way. There’s no way.

They had one job and failed miserably. This is a death knell for a hardware wallet provider.

Ledger lost customer details 2-3 times and somehow people still use them

That’s because they are a shitcoin casino

No. At this point Coinkite is dead. I'm sure nvk probably feels bad and wants to help, but he's done enough damage and should just retire from any public facing activities.

I'd risk to say that they could save the company by opening usage to other coins and aiming at other target groups, as Ledger does. Among maximalists and self-custody-oriented users, they have little chance to recover.
