I don't recall any of us calling nvk a scammer. In fact, we try to be as professional about it as possible.

You're right, my bad. It seems like nvk feels like he's being called a scammer.

It's a technical issue - which is now resolved https://twitter.com/carl_dong/status/1671973538029346824
For a technical issue, you need technical responses. Not drama, insinuations, and allegations.
Carl Dong addressed that well.
It was a difference in methodology.
We've been called scammers, grifters, extortionists - every single month that we don't slap a "reproducible" sign on a coldcard. Talk about pressure.
You do know that we've been offered products to test - real hardware wallets - which we refused, on account that could affect our integrity?
In fact, some in the project do want to take the free samples - but we've had to say 'NO'.

A publicly configured build server or versioned docker script that is used to generate any binaries should alleviate any concerns. It signing by the devs shouldnt cut it with most bitcoiners unless its reliably reproducible.

NVK is literally calling WS a scam https://twitter.com/nvk/status/1647573833014992896

He blocked all of our accounts so we can't respond. It's like having a knife to your back with blindfolds on.
And to be honest, we can't understand why he is behaving like this.
All he has to do, is:
- sit down for 1 hour or so.
- Look at what's wrong
- Work with us to see how it can be fixed.
I guess, blocking-tweeting takes less than a minute.
