What is important about open source? Is it that others can review the code, or is it that others can profit off of the code? If it is the former, then ColdCard is fine. If it is the latter, then they don't allow others to use their code for profit.

AFAIK, it doesn't have the verifiable builds. Am I wrong?

What's the difference between verifiable builds and reproducible builds? Instructions on how to build from source and get exactly the same bytes is included in the ReadMe.

Same, maybe I used the wrong words.

So you're saying we can build from source and use that as firmware on the cold card? If so, cool, thanks for informing me, I haven't had the time and motivation to verify yet.
