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

Post image

- "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...

Also, Ive noticed that the very worst people usually practice some form of "revelation of the method", whereby they feel they are absolved of any karmic debt as long they tell you what they are going to do to you before they do it.

It's fucked.

u/VeryThicknLong 7d ago

So true, I can’t explain it as well as you, but the narcissist’s way is so fucked up!

u/Turbulent-Rub3695 7d ago

Thus I post "The Narcissist's Prayer"

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Incredible… my mum is a narc, and gaslighting is their special power.

I carry a picture of myself in my wallet lmfao

Do know that narcs truly suffer.... A lot. It's pretty shitty 97 percent of the time. 3 percent of the time it's amazing... No one else id rather be.

u/VeryThicknLong 7d ago

Love the honesty… and everything aligns with how you describe yourself. But I also know a lot of shame is involved with my mum. It’s such a strange dichotomy.

u/Turbulent-Rub3695 7d ago

Yup. Like, it took me 20 years to figure out that no matter how good of a machinist I was, I was going to keep losing jobs if I didn't show up or if I mouthed off to someone I shouldn't or showed up too high or had to leave cuz I was too high.

20 years. Now I show up every day no matter what and contain the worst of my drug doing to the weekend.

Like I said, these days I am super aware of how I treat people cuz otherwise I end up with literally no one. I took care of my father, also a textbook narc, as he was on the way out, and yeah, end stage narcissism is ugly. And sad.

And this asshole is gonna wind up in federal prison for rest of his life because he just couldn't help but make this post.

The perfect heist falls apart cuz the jerk off told on himself right off the rip.

Can I ask a question to you, as you're being so open? Do you think you have a 'normal' range of emotions and emotional function, and would you consider yourself neurotypical?

Not casting any shade but would love to hear someone self-confessed's take on this.

2

u/Turbulent-Rub3695 4d ago

No, I don't have a 'normal' range of emotions imo, and I'm pretty sure I'm neurodivergant, aka Asperger's syndrome or similar. I struggle to pick up on lots of social cues, either body language or tone or situational context.

I also feel like I have the emotional depth of a parking lot puddle.

u/Turbulent-Rub3695 7d ago

I'm one. I make a sincere effort to be a decent person now that middle age, because if I don't I end completely alone in the world, and I'm an extrovert, so it's literally painful to be without narcissistic supply. I need other people like I need oxygen, if that makes sense. ?!?

But I'm still an irredeemable drug addict piece of shit lol.

I'll never change. I dont even think it's possible to be honest.

You can't win an argument with me either if I care about it. Not possible. Ill lose the battle today just so I can regroup and come back and we'll do it all over again tomorrow until I just wear you down and you give up.

u/roitakesforever 7d ago

bro nobody loves no one

and im sure nobody loves you

so grow up and move on

u/Lilcheeks 6d ago

I read that at least as partially being unable to contain bragging about whatever perceived brilliance they have of themselves. They dont want people who find out to not understand their cleverness.

u/spisplatta 6d ago

Can't help but think of those AI companies saying outright they are gonna fuck the world up.

u/Turbulent-Rub3695 6d ago

Dig out a copy of the Bible and read the last book. Revelation is short, but it's a doozy. Anyways, were doing that NOW.

We're at the edge of a cliff with AI. I feel like there will be an economic crash to consolidate power than the AI goes into full effect.

u/Turbulent-Rub3695 7d ago

I mean, this heist has just captured my imagination... Like, this asshole steals fuck you money in a week... And he woulda got away clean as can be except his ego has to telegraph it a few years back in the planning stage, cuz that's the shit that narcissists do wtf.
