NVK has become a bad actor.

He is the kind of guy who does shitty things and then laughs as if that makes it okay.

He encapsulates "why you mad bro" behavior

You can tell how entitled he is anytime he opens his gaggling mouth. The constant laughter is Kamala Harris levels of deflection.

Rather pathetic from someone who could be on the side of free open source software

Coinkite muddied the water of what FOSS is on purpose

I just listened to Odell comment on NVK creating websites to undermine seed signer and avoided saying the word "Foundation" ( as if they were the problem here somehow) only reinforced my opinion that NVK is the bad actor and they just salty

The logic isn't sound. How can you be upset at a company for doing the exact same thing you did?

Coinkite took foss and created coldcard

Ten31 invested in the product and receives dividends

Foundation took foss and created Passport

They got vc money too

But only foundation is bad cause they did exactly what coinkite did?

Every company in the world has competition. Why does coinkite think no one is allowed to compete with them in a free market with free open source software?

They made an entirely different product. I thought user choices were good. I thought profitable open source was the point?

So instead of simply being happy with a massive market share and competing to keep it, nvk does all this petty bullshit that only makes him look like a little bitch.

This kind of shit makes me never buy any coinkite products ever again. I simply don't trust that kind of bullshit.

I’ve hated NVK for so long that I never wanted to go near his products even though they were provably high quality.

Thankfully, the space has matured. There’s real competition now and I don’t have to rely on him anymore.

So fuck NVK — and I can’t stand that Kamala Harris laugh of his either.

Funny how today wasn’t just my last straw.

Someone else’s “trust” broke too, for entirely different reasons.

What happened today?

I found out NVK was buying domains similar to the SeedSigner project just to throw up a warning on the landing page telling people not to use it as a hardware wallet because it's “just an offline computer.”

Dang. After a whole bunch of research I just bought a Q because it seemed like the superior product. I know he’s an asshole.

Yeah, I have that one too. I had a lot of resistance because I found him an asshole and didn’t want to support him. But I eventually did and it’s shit at generating a readable QR code. You’re gonna have to use microSD.
