I managed to compile standalone binaries for both Mac and Linux. Give me the weekend to test and I will post to GitHub.

That's exactly what I am building!

How retro is that? Generating a QR in a ssh terminal command line app.

21st Century - here we come!!!

Its like Helium but not a shitcoin

That's more of a protection against in-transit manipulation of the device.

The evil maid attack is just referring to anyone who has trusted access to your home or wherever you store your device, and who would therefore have opportunity to maliciously flash firmware that could leak your private key, such as the dark skippy attack. It could also be done by someone breaking into your home and gaining physical access to your device, but it's still called the evil maid attack regardless.

With a ColdCard, the indicator light turning red on boot-up is a dead giveaway that firmware that hasn't been signed by the manufacturer is currently running. There is no such safeguard on a SeedSigner.

So, yes. Verifying the signature on firmware you download and install yourself is a great protection when you can be absolutely certain that the firmware running is what you personally installed. But if that device is ever out of your sight, how can you be certain that the firmware is still what you installed?

It's official, we're off X!

Not really though. Evil maid attack.

Bitcoin singing devices must check the firmware signature at boot.

Not enough users check every download, NO user will check it before every boot.

This is a security anti-pattern, a terrible UX regression.

Testing. Check. Check. Hello? #asknostr

I've donated a decent bit of money to Zeus development. I will no longer be supporting Zeus.

It's morally bankrupt to respond with derision to a Zelenskyy and others signing bombs that are keeping Ukrainians alive by killing Russian invaders. I'm in Kyiv right now – those bombs are part of the reason why I can even be here relatively safely. They're why people I know got their houses back after the occupation was pushed back; sadly they couldn't get their friends and neighbors back, because there's no fixing being murdered.

Disgusting.
