Coldcard and Raspi?
Discussion
Coldcard and Raspberry Pi is an ecosystem which is based on proprietary technologies and masquerading as an open source friendly thing.
I think you can protect your IP and still make freedom tech 🤷
Pi is literally just hardware to do whatever with.
A blackbox 🤙
“Serious matter” is it?
Funny how rodents singing flat earth get the corrupts attention
That's a rather old reddit thread, is this still the case with coldcard?
Seems like they provide a lot of freedom.
How many VPN, TOR, LN, and Bitcoin nodes are run on Raspis? How many people have cut their Linux teeth on a Pi? They made cheap computing accessible to the whole world.
I'm experimenting with start9 on a Pi, and I've been running my own private Nostr relay, getting bitcoin set up, and hosting my own file server. I wouldn't have been able to do that otherwise.
I'm no expert on wallets, but it seems like the consensus is Coldcard is super secure. Getting hung up on not being 100% open hardware seems a little picky. Perfection is the enemy of good.
Is the world less or more free with these two devices?
I also use rasp, it was just a tease. In my defense, even the coldcard developer says that rasp is a blackbox, so I can put both in the same bag.
