A standalone assertion, quoting and replying to nothing, that no competent designer would build a fallback to weak entropy, compared to an aircraft engine falling back to a nuclear bomb in the wing, and concluding that the arrangement was obviously malicious. It is an inference of intent against the vendor rather than a technical finding, and it is one of the plainest statements of the malice reading that circulated in the first week. The vendor's own contrary account is held at coldcardwallet-2085541034243600805, which argues there was no Coinkite fallback at all and that the software generator became reachable through a link-time error; Block's disclosure, held at block-disclosure, describes the behaviour as a fallback. The archive holds the reading and the vendor's rebuttal side by side. The imputation of intent is the poster's own and is not verified here.
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.

The excerpts and plain unified diffs above show the text this project held and how it changed. 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.
