Samson Mow's claim that the Anti-Exfil protocol originated at Blockstream, which he says wrote the first production-ready code for it, with a plain-language explanation that a dishonest hardware wallet can leak fragments of a private key through the nonces in its signatures until a chain observer can reassemble the key. He names Blockstream Jade and BitBox, which calls it Anti-Klepto, as the only two hardware wallets that implement it, credits Blockstream and Adam Back with protecting users since 2021, and quote-posts Blockstream Jade making the same point. Held as part of the record of competing vendors positioning themselves after the disclosure, alongside jade-not-affected and bitbox-not-affected, and because it concerns a different failure mode, nonce exfiltration at signing, from the seed-generation defect at issue in this incident. Interest: the poster is a former Blockstream executive and the post is a product claim for Blockstream's wallet. Replies to the post are restricted. The origination and implementation claims are the poster's own and are not verified here.
This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication. Last checked .
This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at , which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
Snapshot and diff bodies for this chain monitor are held in the local evidence archive but withheld from the public site because they can contain the addresses of people who published nothing themselves. Capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.
