Everyone Panic! ColdCard Bitcoin-only wallet HACKED! - by edicted@edicted
A PeakD post detailing a security incident involving Coldcard's Bitcoin-only hardware wallet (MK2/MK3). The author alleges the firmware had insufficient entropy (roughly 32-bit instead of 128-bit), enabling an exploit that led to around 600-1000 BTC stolen. The post discusses the potential causes (avoidance of open-source standards, possible insider distrust), community reactions, and the impact on trust in hardware wallets. The author notes that despite the incident, airgapped hardware wallets remain safer than exchanges, and expects improved security across vendors as audits increase. Personal stance: will likely continue using Coldcard due to its airgap, while acknowledging the broader lesson about trust and RNG in wallet design.

A user shares their experience purchasing a Legendary Pack in Splinterlands for 70,000 Glint and pulling a Life Unit Legendary card named Halo Wisp. They discuss the card's current Level 1 stats, potential upgrades to Level 2 (increasing ranged attack power to 2) and future abilities at higher levels (Divine Shield at Level 2, more abilities and power at Level 4). The post includes screenshots of the purchases and notes that the card is relatively scarce in the market, suggesting potential value appreciation as supply is limited and the user base grows. The author recommends collecting multiple copies and leveling them to enhance overall strength in battles, closing with thanks.
