Yep, appears so!
It's unclear what they found. They claim the breach is recent or ongoing but it's hard to confirm especially given the methodology - it sounds like they crawled and probed to find the data sets.
Anyway, I'm obscuring my own point. I just think trying to get to motive is tricky.
I also find myself in a weird position apologizing for every variation of self-custody [that offers unilateral exit in all but the worst case at least] because the alternative is much worse and the alternative dominates right now.
I still feel that a hardware wallet that is only portable to a different device via a transaction feels a lot like vendor lock in.
I disagree, and I feel like it's worth saying so. This is sort of like calling a white lie fraud. It quacks like a goose not a duck.
Imagine apple cloud let you transfer your photos to google cloud via a button click. Is this lock-in? Sounds like the opposite to me. Is it suddenly lock-in if a competitor, say dropbox, syncs everything locally and you don't have to do the transfer to move to another solution? Not to me - it's just a different solution to the same problem.
I think they could have avoided many reactions like mine if they had said "We've got a new solution, it's very robust for all sorts of reasons, one of the trade-offs is that you can't export your key material" instead of saying, "Actually, you shouldn't be able to export your key material because it's dangerous."
It's hard to get attention being meek like this. Everyone took the rage bait and amplified the message. Marketing accompli.

It's a bit morbid, but on the topic of eccentric, my wife and I were discussing what we'd like done with our remains when we die. I said I want a 100ft marble statue of myself with a subterranean museum via a trapdoor at my feet - wax statue scenes of me, a forever-showing holographic/animtronic concert hall, a gift shop, a restaurant serving only my favorite foods, etc. But, I wouldn't actually be buried there. It'd just have clues to where I was buried, which would be like a treasure hunt - find where I'm buried and get a t-shirt and some sats or something.
It's a joke obviously but I felt like writing it down.
You'd know better than I would! I'm surprised they are trading below net asset value - makes sense to start experimenting with the board and image of the company.
What's @benthecarman working on? I don't see him mentioned in recent releases.
If you're not a mac person, I personally like the direction of framework. They make everything easy to customize and upgrade and tinker with. Everything is a bit bespoke, so you're kind of banking on them continuing to exist, but I'd guess they won't be disappearing soon and IIRC all their specs are public so given enough time we should see after-market sellers emerge.
Marketing the stock? She's super well-networked with these wall street bitcoiners - so lots of access to expert advice makes her, at least indirectly, an expert in the financial stuff too.
The way I see it is that everyone complains about how no one self-custodies and it's too hard, then someone comes up with an alternative approach to self-custody and everyone complains that it's foul play because it doesn't work like everything else.
Moving the conversation to ulterior motives without assessing whether seedless has a better UX or not is a tad suspicious. If the UX isn't improved, feel free to claim lock-in is the reason for the difference. If the UX is better, and the seed can't be exposed without compromising this better UX, then perhaps lock-in isn't the motive.
afaict most of the lock-in narrative is radiating from competitors, who just might be hyper sensitive to flaws, or might have ulterior motives of their own. afaict these competitors are failing to steward us into an era of self-custody via The True Way, and their "solution" is to call retail stupid and lazy and competitors corrupt.
We need people/companies experimenting with new approaches to self-custody with new tradeoffs if we want more folks to self-custody.
I would hope so, but I'm not making charts usually and this one has green and red and orange and pink which probably look a lot alike.
Cool blind folks might look at this and be like "heck yeah, respect is all I need"
This was roughly my experience too. Beautiful movie in terms of moving pictures, but story not so much. They debased the awesome premise with a bunch of randomness. My wife said a lot of Korean folk tales tend to diverge like this and have cartoonish characters mixed in with normal ones (at least that's my memory of it), so that might explain it.
This made me think about how pie-charts probably suck for color blind folk.
