Block hardware lead Clay Garrett shares initial findings on a separately reported Bitkey vulnerability disclosed by 1440000bytes, stating it requires exceptional circumstances during inheritance setup, yields insufficient key material even if exploited, and that a mobile-app patch ships same day. Recorded because Block is a primary party in the COLDCARD incident record and this statement shows its concurrent security posture; the Bitkey issue itself is distinct from the COLDCARD RNG flaw.
This post is registered as evidence and has locally held capture artefacts. The original remains the canonical publication; hashes below identify the files held by this project. Last checked .
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 victim addresses. Integrity hashes, capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.
Each copy above is identified by the SHA-256 of its extracted text, shown beside it, and the diffs are plain unified diffs. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.
Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
The SHA-256 prefixes above identify each held copy without turning this page into a mirror of somebody else's post. Compare a quotation against the original. If the post has since been edited or deleted, ask and the held copy can be produced.
