1. Yes, lol, "is it secure" is a simpler way to ask.

2. I tagged NVK, founder of coinkite.

3. Thanks, do you think NVKs critique of broadcom chips on raspberry pi have any merit, and is it a valid argument against Seedsigner?

and hey, thanks for taking time to reply. 🙏

1. Yes.

2. I've no idea on his thoughts. He has a 🐱 habit of blocking all his competitors so they can't call him out his intellectual dishonesty. If I was a betting man, the criticism would likely involve the word 'cloner' at least once.

3. He has me blocked, so I've no idea what his critiques are, but I do know that Keith Mukai recently posted a Gist as rebuttal (of sorts). I haven't read it.

Just to add, the code on a CC is not truly verifiable without destroying the unit

2. No.

All chips have some sort of hardware boot ROM, from your CPU to a Raspberry Pi to the STM32s used in a lot of HWWs including CC.

RPi boot ROM cannot be modified and such an attack would need to target your Pi specifically, which is impossible, and then somehow figure out a way to detect SS code and add a backdoor.

Look how a typo got you two zaps. Thanks 😁
