I feel like I’m the twilight zone now

How are you not understanding why I feel differently about what the two companies did?

Coinkite added a secure element and allowed Airgapped functionality with PSBT support. Massive improvements over trezors offerings at the time

Did foundation improve anything?

I feel differently because I think coinkite leveraged open source code as it was intended and improved upon the original code. I haven’t seen any evidence that foundation did anything to improve the coinkite code they stole
