@_kami_gawa reports that Mk4 keys are not enumerable like Mk3 keys because the reseed makes brute force practically impossible even when the resulting entropy is weak, and that correctly set up private keys remain effectively uncrackable. Held as a dated independent technical claim about Mk4 security. The claim is the author's own and are not independently verified here.

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