Please refer to my questions on the original post. I’m really hoping I don’t have to brick my two new cold cards and abandon all of their addresses. The whole reason I switched was because Ledger was fucking around with Ledger Recover. Another $50CAD in tuition for fees to fix this. Jesus Christ my heart can’t take this. Is this a protectable asset or not? WTF is Grayscale and Microstrategy doing to avoid this bullshit? Maybe not interacting on social media including Nostr.
Did the replace by fee work? I See the transaction is confirmed now.

Don't worry about your coldcards. You can reset them and generate new seeds on them. Just make sure you don't need the old keys before you do that.
Cool thanks. But holy fuck what a wake call. Seeing an unauthorized TX for your entire stack is heart stopping shit. After hyping everyone I know on this asset, I’m going to look like a real schmoe if I get wrecked. I’d feel a lot better if I had some remote idea of how someone signed a transaction on my behalf when I have absolute physical control over all of the hardware and backups. And it is interesting that the unauthorized TX passed the 10 minute ETA for confirmation and still didn’t finalize.
I’m pissed that I have to throw away my steel backups. They weren’t cheap. Next copy is getting scrawled on the wall of my cave lol
Have your cold cards been plugged in to your computer?
When you say phrases like "abandon all of their addresses" it doesn't give confidence that you understand how things work. Addresses are infinite. Your focus should be on seeds, and how careless you've been with them.
Read the econoalchemist guide for creating a coldcard wallet.
You should abandon every seed you have created at this point. Generate a new seed properly from that guide with a fresh FW on your cold card.
