LLFOURN arguing that the wave of concern about BlockClock, Coinkite's other product, is misplaced: it connects to the internet because that is where bitcoin is, it holds the WiFi password, and it is probably about as insecure as any other device of its kind on a home network. The distinct point is that the device is unremarkable rather than that it is safe, and it is one of the few held sources addressing whether the incident should widen to the vendor's non-signing products. LLFOURN is a repeatedly captured technical voice in this record. The assessment is his and no test of the device is offered.
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 blockclock FUD is completely ridiculous. Yes it makes a connection to the internet to find things out about bitcoin (note: bitcoin is on the internet). Yes it has your WiFi password . It's probably as insecure as any other IOT device on your network.

Replies held in this capture (4)
Low-signal replies are collapsed to one line, never removed. A reply is collapsed only on mechanical grounds: fewer than 40 characters, no text, mentions only, no letters or digits, a bare link, or text identical to another reply in the same capture. What a reply argues is never a reason. Each one says which rule collapsed it, and its screenshot is one click away.

If there's even a small possibility it was malice, it's not like any other it device.

Have you reviewed its code? Forgive people that are scared, “conspiratorial” and untrusting, they just learned about Peter Grays work history and patents while having their life savings drained….

I haven't reviewed the code but the person who made the screenshot did...and found nothing alarming at all. We should all be releived but instead we're being induced into the next stage of paranoia.

This capture reached the end of the conversation as X served it: it stopped because nothing further loaded, not because a limit was hit. X decides what a reader is shown, so that is not the same as a guarantee of every reply.
