The risk of hidden malicious code is why general purpose computers aren’t suitable for #Bitcoin security.

With embedded hardware, you can have much more confidence that the device has not been tampered with, reducing the risk of attacks like Dark Skippy.

Hmmm... I used an MK4 with usb connection to secure my Bitcoin. The beginner setup.

Is it time to redo via airgap?

Depends on your amounts and risk profile. Never rush into anything.

This is a great listen for all the R-Pi maxis

I don’t get the controversy. It’s god damn simple:

1- RPi GPU starts first.

2- GPU loads proprietary bootcode.bin

3- GPU wakes up CPU

4- Normal boot process continues

Why is so controversial to point out the device has a rootkit by design? It’s okay for the threat level of a node or a mini server but signing transactions?
