The Bitcoin Mermaid 🍊💊🧜🏼‍♀️🧢🧡 "Yemoja Uzume"

NVK created a website to spread FUD about airgapped computers. I thought the content was rubbish, with alterior motives, but I didn't say much because I have a product, ParmAirGap, which has conflict of interest optics. But fuck it, now I'm m saying it... The BEST way to self custody, if you have technical ability, is a generic airgapped computer, that you physically protect, and don't allow secret tampering and replacement to extract your seed. So I built one, use it myself, and sell it. Information here... Https://parmanode.com/parmai… A dodgy hardware wallet that you trust is far worse than a fully encrypted generic laptop that doesn't leak any information - a sophisticated attacker would need to get their hands on it, implant extraction hardware/software, and return it to you without your knowledge, later waiting to pounce. Or a computer manufacturer from 5 to 10 years ago would have to anticipate that in the future a tiny fraction of people who buy their product (refurbished) will be Bitcoiners using it for wallet purposes, and would then implant software and hardware in advance to attack you. That's not going to happen and this is why a generic product rather than a Bitcoin specific product is safer. Even more extreme than that but more costly is to get multiple ParmAirGap machines, each one generating a seed (multisig) and holding a seed and in being encrypted, and distributing them geographically so nobody gets their hands on them at once. Even if they did get their hands on them they would have to know how to unlock them. Putting your seed in an encrypted computer is far safer than putting it on paper and locking it somewhere... You can just lock away your computer as you would the piece of paper, and if someone gets to it, well at least it's on an encrypted drive and not exposed on paper or steel or whatever. I really wish I pushed my ideas and products a bit harder, now that this attack has happened. I should not have cared about being seen to self promote too much. I have useful gear, fuck it, I have to talk about it. I have free stuff too, do it all yourself... Https://armantheparman.com Or study with me... armantheparman.com/mentorshi…

Anyone want to bet a hardware wallet will exit scam within the next 5 years? Probably by blaming an accidental bug or rogue employee. Basically exactly like an exchange, but this time a hardware wallet.

I've started a donation fund for victims of the ColdCard hack.

He blocked you for that? 😂 The fragility is real!
