Bitcoin News rebutting the claim that a 2021 Rabbit Hole Recap episode shows Coinkite knew of the RNG defect: it says the bug Odell referenced was a USB serial REPL flaw in firmware 4.0.0, which was built and tested internally but never released, with public users receiving the already-fixed 4.0.1. Directly answers jp_technology-2085031289141232016 and agrees with zherbert-2085070195702268321, who cites the version diff. Secondary reporting resting on Coinkite's own disclosure history; the archive records the disagreement rather than settling it.

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