Boltcards: now with NFC, as if magstripe was not bad enough

You only get a yes or no, nothing else.

let’s also take a page out of most HWWs books and make the code say it is genuine itself

Now, the problem is… how do you know it runs the code it says it does?

Maybe consider this the next time you see “open source” but the boot code cannot be verified except the boot code saying “trust me bro”

Also can we stop calling it boot ROM? Thanks nostr:note17yxrfrm7fy9zmk6wsnkg26z8mnfc20fgpgan4ln6yrw4hmpl8x7sj500ju

this is one use case where PoA makes sense as you do not care about reorgs

any reorgs can be easily proven with an irregutable proof

You forgot the part where they overprovision access, inactive accounts, and economies of scale…

you can’t really just catch CSAM

nostr is the perfect breeding ground for this shit

no good way to actually block abusers, marketed as anonymous

it’s much worse than it appears nostr:note1lj29p7mct8a4tyg7m8cyh57cm7563l5c7nynzyevjdng8t0n77rs8r0p83

most SSDs now error instead of returning garbage most of the time also if they detect a checksum error

actually, not really

it’s loaded into the chip in the passport
