Coldcard post from October 10, 2021: "Retirement Attack"

- "What's a retirement attack?"

- COLDCARD (@COLDCARDwallet): "It's when the project makers could have a "bug" in the entropy generation for later retrieval".

Seems that they were smart enough to launch a "dice rolls" suggestion in a critical element lacking foolproof design, knowing not all users would be paranoid enough. Like "hey, if you don't trust no problem, but...you can trust buddy, the (back)door is open." ☠️

Ok no, enough of conspiracy theory continuation. We know that Coldcard's post was pure coincidence. Right?...Right?

Edit: In case you're curious on more tweets mentioning "retirement attack", here is another one:

@nvk - 21 Dec 20: "My money is on people screwing themselves out of their BTC before any vendor tries a retirement attack.

Alternatively people could just use dice ;)."

A strange way to warn "alternatively people" of what you have in mind to do...but Freudian slip or parapraxis theory explains that better, in case you're curious...
