Scoresby reposting NVK's 'To all Coinkite users and the entire Bitcoin community' statement, urging owners to move funds before reading further. The statement text is NVK's; this source captures it as circulated on Stacker News plus the community response. Captured through the site's public GraphQL API: the rendered pages crash the capture tab, and the API answers POST from this host. The query fixes the captured surface to the item's title, text and two levels of comments, each with author and absolute timestamp.

Every check is recorded, including checks that found no text change. A detected edit is therefore bounded between two checks. The publisher's exact save time is not observable from this record. Last checked 9 Aug 2026, 23:17 UTC.

Because of a developer mistake that linked to the wrong RNG library entirely, one that was intended for... testing and not real-world usage? \n\nNvk shifting the blame to AI here is cute and certainly in line with the times, but it sounds like yet another mistake best attributed to boring everyday \"Human Stupidity,\" and that should've and could've been caught with a modicum of due diligence.  \n\nPiling this into the AI narrative seems to distract from the negligence.",

It's a classical vulnerability in cryptographic engineering (even in this space e.g libbitcoin milk.sad).\n\nSadly, with information available, there is no \"AI chamanism\" to have. It's kind of vulnerability that senior security researchers have already found with good eyes and hands in the past.\n\nThat AI might help to the weaponization at scale, this is another discussion.",

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.
