Coinkite's own account, replying to a poster who was arguing that the correction about which generator was at fault, MicroPython's built-in general-purpose RNG rather than a Coinkite fallback, was pointless given the losses. The vendor answers in three sentences: that it is doing all the investigation it can to get to the bottom of it as promised, that it is devastated, and that the hacker could have done the right thing and responsibly disclosed. Primary vendor material and one of the clearest published statements of the vendor's position on how the defect became public. It is also the sentence that was immediately turned back on the vendor, captured here at fractalencrypt-2085576915453157786 and fractalencrypt-2085687538962812943, so the register holds both the statement and its reception. What the investigation has found, and whether disclosure was attempted, are not established by this post or by any captured source.
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.
