Funded by the Monero community: Retro-Crypto, a Nintendo 64 app in development for encrypting data and generating keys and wallet addresses

Retro-Crypto for the Nintendo 64 is an open-source app that lets you generate keys, encrypt and decrypt data, and more. It's still in development, but I thought I should hurry up with this video about it, after the recent ColdCard wallet draining hack, which was driven by poisoned key generation techniques.

Also featuring the likely first use of VideoStore Codec, an open-source tool for embedding files in the corner of a video. The minimum safe resolution to extract the files from this video seems to be 720p, based on my testing before posting, so that's the resolution I'm uploading here.
