Alekos Filini proposes using STM32 UIDs to identify legitimate coin owners if a white-hat temporarily moves funds, arguing only the owner can produce a physical device with the UID matching the mnemonic. Held as a dated technical proposal in the early incident-response discussion. The proposal is the poster's own and is not independently verified here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
