i was invited to a home made pizza. it was better than any pizza place i ever been to. got real excited, was thinking about opening a place and hiring the guy for process and quality control.
the following conversation made me think i stumbled into some weird deep dark secret...
i think i read it from @Devon_Eriksen_ that money is "f***s given" and most people, the vast majority of people don't give enough f***s about great pizza, they are perfectly satisfied with mediocre or even bad pizza for cheap (and delivery speed) as they view it as "junk food".
it's the weirdest thing ever, but some people still think cross-input signature aggregation is doing anything interesting or useful.
the year is 2042... the us national debt is in the hundreds of trillions, the first president with an active onlyfans, Anastasia Oralia Cortez just made a huge announcement that the united states government is actively looking at "budget neutral" ways of acquiring #bitcoin!
first and second gen implants were super obvious. in a few iterations we will get there, that you need an expert or a lab to tell the difference.
I opened & closed every Ledger wallet
The Nano X, S Plus, Flex, and Stax (attempted Gen5)…
All without prior experience!
You can too. And I show you how in this video (I have timestamps for each wallet on YT)

rolling dice for entropy will certainly not protect you from a malicious device that can connect to the network.
a faraday cage might. but that sounds really tinfoil hat isn't it?
you are damned if you buy from ledger because then all your info is leaked and you get wrenched. you are damned if you buy with cash in a store, because then you are getting supply chain attacked.
you can't win. you think a PO box really protects your privacy? 😅
PSA the ledger incident isn't limited to Asia
This is a device purchased in store from an official reseller in Europe (a legitimate device doesn't have any of these cables as can be seen in picture 2)
This even seems to be an old version of the 'spy implant' even though the device was purchased a couple of weeks ago. The newer versions usually hide the implant by the screen so it's easier to miss
What's interesting is that this compromised ledger never transfered funds to an exploiter. Either the device didn't work or they were waiting for a more widespread usage of the comprised devices?
If you own a ledger that didn't directly come from the ledger online store make sure to not just rely on the software genuinely check by ledger but to actually open up the ledger yourself to make sure its original, again there are reported cases in Asia, south America and now Europe as well.
@MagicalTux made some useful videos on how to open the ledger and what to look for.
