Bitcoin Bay Toronto returns on Monday, August 10 for a special, high-priority meetup to address the recent ColdCard hardware wallet vulnerability.
The Context: On July 30th, a critical flaw was exposed in the Random Number Generator (RNG) and entropy collection of certain ColdCard devices during initial wallet generation. This allowed bad actors to mathematically predict seed phrases and drain wallets without the owner’s knowledge. No passwords stolen. No computers breached.
What We’ll Cover:
- The Autopsy: A technical (but accessible) breakdown of the RNG failure.
- Triage: Step-by-step guidance on checking your specific device/seed for risk.
- The Narrative: What this means for “Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins” and the broader self-custody landscape.
- Upgrades: Exploring better entropy sources and advanced setups (like multi-sig).
The Format:
- 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM: Doors open, grab food & drinks, and network
- 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM: Presentation by Bitcoin Bay Research + Live Q&A
- 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM: Open networking, debate, and compare self-custody setups
Food & Drinks:
Snacks and beverages are on us, generously sponsored by Chobits VAR! Come hungry and leave educated.
Who Should Attend? Bitcoin maximalists, traders, developers, newcomers, and anyone who currently holds their own keys (or is thinking about it).
