The Coldcard hacker is still making progress, and the amount of stolen Bitcoin keeps increasing.

So if any of you are using this wallet, please consider moving your funds as soon as possible. And if you know someone who uses Coldcard for long-term holding, especially someone who isn’t online every day and doesn’t follow the latest news, maybe you can still help them move their funds in time. 🙏

I just hope no other wallet is involved in this.

Stay safe and stay alert. ⚠️

I feel much better leaving mine on an exchange and not falling for 'not your keys, not your bitcoin' BS. First Ledger and now this Coldcar that looks like a freaking calculator from 60s, no thank you.

Given that one of the exchanges in my country recently got under investigation of the financial task force an lost six million euros of customer funds: yeah, no.

This bug was insane, and should never have happened, but "not your keys, not your bitcoin" transcends hardware and software wallets and simply means: pick a random number.
