I meant more in regards to what they were doing to seedsigner. But yeah curious to see what the competition does. Would be better if the sats weren’t tied in to the credit
Discussion
🤦🏽♂️🤌🏽😂
When I read ur text my dyslexic tarded *ss saw seed vault and I mentally went to the foundation devices 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️….they really have become my favs
…I have a group of frenz Ive helped initiate their BTC journey who own fairly large sums of BTC and I’ve found myself recommending the foundation products with a few cold card tapsigners for multisig storage (makes geographic dispersion easy) thru sparrow and or nunchuck
The seed signer tech is fascinating but I will be following people with stronger tech backgrounds (like my fav quant) before I dip my toe into it. 🫡🫂
Oh I wasn’t advocating for either one. Though I am very interested in what foundation is doing. It’s just not the first time I’ve heard things like these.
Also is there some credible info out there that coinkite is involved in this?
This is a valid point. Another way of looking at it is who else benefits from this and who else was very vocal against seedsigner? All valid questions to ask imo
No doubt …I’m not jumping in to defend Nvk…he has clearly created animosity among some of his peers…still it’d be nice to see a smoking gun on this particular issue
I think coinkite products will suffer due to inferior quality and lack of consistent innovation compared to products like those produced by nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j even without vilifying nvk…seems like the abandoned @satslink was the beginning of the end for their innovative cycle…just one idgit’s opinion🤷🏽♂️
That satslink thing is crazy to me. “It’s on the bench”. I don’t know man. Do all the marketing. Show a bit of demos and then leave the customer hanging for years. Weak
Yup…my conspiratorial mind went to govt intervention behind the scenes…it seemed like such a great idea…I’d actually ordered 2 of them🤦🏽♂️⭕️
I’ll think twice before giving him sats. Keep in mind this wasn’t a payment in fiat. Sats in advance. It’s appreciating but you still get the purchasing power of the fiat amount 2 years ago. That’s gonna leave a sour taste for a while.
The smoking gun is him taking market share through FOSS and then licensing up once critical mass was achieved.
Or just speculation?
I don’t know the seed signer dev or nvk personally so I wouldn’t be able to answer this.
I have strong evidence that links Coinkite and/or NVK as the definitive owners of the domain names.
There are also domains they own relating to other projects, and name-squatting attempts at Nostr and Bitcoin related domains.
