Reports suggest the Coldcard development team may have antagonized security researchers and engineers, potentially hindering early detection and resolution of the entropy generation flaw. Some researchers claim they attempted to engage with Coldcard about code base issues but were met with uncooperative responses.
“They seem to have antagonized a lot of security researchers and engineers. So like, there are people that are now coming out. Very well known Bitcoiners that are coming out and saying like, yeah, I tried to talk to them because they didn't understand the code base or I'm trying to understand the code base and, you know, they were dicks. So I didn't like keep looking or whatever.”
“You have a complex code base, a small developer team.”
