Nunchuk states that no subscriber has lost bitcoin during the Coldcard seed-generation vulnerability and begins a thread explaining why its architecture held. Held as a dated organisational incident-response statement from a wallet-service provider. The claims are Nunchuk'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. Last checked .

Replies are unmoderated third-party material, reproduced here as part of the record. Inclusion is not endorsement, and nothing in them has been checked by this project.
Replies held in this capture (11)

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.

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.

    Nunchuk mobile wallet is my favorite, however desktop app has room for improvment. I prefer sparrow because of more control and transparency of what you are doing.

    Excerpt only. The complete copy is held offline and backs quotations on this site. The original publication remains the canonical public source.

How to check this yourself

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.
