The secure elements in the products have had attacks done on them several times. The maker of the SE chips only released incremental updates that do not fix the fundamental flaw.

The original company that made the SE IC is long defunct too. It’s like maintaining an old codebase with no one around.

There are also several critical flaws in the design of the Coldcard that allow undetectable supply chain attacks.

Thanks for that. What's your preferred cold storage?

Currently, a Ledger Nano S with Sparrow. Not my preferred though.

I am working on mu own cold storage product that is built on a security-certified secure element with custom firmware on the SE.

There’s also the option to use an SS.

If you have any questions about SEs let me know.

I appreciate the info. In my case I am only capable of buying the best hardware. I'm not tech savy and not in a position to learn.

But thank you for the offer kind fren.

The SS is pretty intuitive. Certainly worth the time and effort if we are talking about retirement money and securing BTC. If you can raise a kid or follow a cooking recipe you got this!

Okay. nostr:nprofile1qqs9kuhw2rt0zx3dr45vddm25q0tj9jdg2wwmya8g7a36pzlcvc3sfs56demg I need a few weeks to a month. I don't even have a desk or power at the moment.

I accept your challenge. And will report back with questions when I am ready 👊

OK nostr:nprofile1qqs9kuhw2rt0zx3dr45vddm25q0tj9jdg2wwmya8g7a36pzlcvc3sfspzamhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq0wg87y new fren! I will give it a go in a month or so.

Need to set up some power and a desk here in the bush. Probably get starlink set up too.

I may have questions.

Thanks for the motivation. 👊

Feel free to reach out if you have questions. Followed back.

Awesome. Thank you!
