A parody account whose display name and handle imitate COLDCARD, writing in the vendor's voice that all hands are on deck to put out the fires "that we started" while still not acknowledging the funds customers lost. This is satire and not a Coinkite statement; the vendor's own posts are registered separately under the coldcardwallet and nvk ids. It is held because the specific complaint it lampoons - that the vendor had apologised and shipped firmware without acknowledging customer losses - runs through the community record, and this is how that complaint was voiced. Nothing in it is evidence of the vendor's position.

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