Wait what!? Coinkite is suing him because he made the BTClock?
I deeply regret that I bought stuff from this company
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m will the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund cover any expenses that may arise from Coinkite’s (what I view to be baseless) legal action against a competing open-source project, BTClock by nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2?

Takedown for now. But it will probably be a lawsuit if a counter claim is made or they don’t comply
That's ridiculous
And it is all because apparently BTClock is too similar to BLOCKCLOCK. Wtf?
Also, they have not disclosed vulnerabilities in the SEs they use in the Mk4 and Q, and have not upgraded to a drop-in replacement that is a newer version without those vulnerabilities.
They don't like competition.
Don't know what the issue is. But if it's a serious vulnerability, this is very irresponsible behavior.
It is somewhat costly to exploit, but the fix is replacing one part with a drop in replacement. And this attack has existed since ~2005. Not informing users about this in general is pretty irresponsible.
Two decades. No way!
2005? Bitcoin related hardware? Is there a digit wrong?
No. I’m referring to the class of attack used.
Laser fault injection has existed since 2005 and defenses can be implemented for the protection of the chip, such as light sensors.
There have been 3 revisions to the ATECC chips and they still do not incorporate light sensors while your cheap credit card or transit pass does.
