@cybergibbons You have to have hands on access to the device in order to modify it. A "man in the middle" intercept between us and the user involves infiltrating UPS or hijacking a UPS truck. Buying the unit and reselling on Ebay kind of violates the assumption that we provide the product.

@cybergibbons @jronkain There is no RAM
@mecalvin27 No one got the money. That is why everyone is making such a big deal about these "failed hacking attempts". Imagine saying "I hacked the Bitfi Wallet". Friends say "awesome, how much did you take?". You reply "Oh, I didnt get the money, but I hacked it". Hear the absurdity.
@0xHyde So . . . . A product not coming from us, but from someone who bought it, redesigned it, and sells it on Ebay under our name is a hack? No. That's a scam, pure and simple.
@Gillepils Reselling? Buying our device, redesigning it, and selling it under our name is a hack? What planet are you from? That's a scam. Pretending to be a company that you are not. Why bother even buying out product. Build your own from scratch and put our name on it. Please. Get real.
@CryptoSa I've been in cybersecurity for 50 years. What idiot thinks that, in the long term, they will win this battle. The naivete of young people!
@EasyWhale Thank you for your comment.
@Sisko86 There is no memory. Uf you hands on m8d7fy the flash it may be possible. But . . . . Building a video player from out device is hardly interesting. Did he he get the fucking money? No. Please, let's stay on focus.
@coinhub_nz I'm being absurd. What other possibility is there of intercepting the shipment of our device. Which many of the "alleged hackers" have pointed to as a weakness.
@King_Arku @bitcoinprivate Its coming. Please be patient. I can't divulge anything until the announcement. And it's not just for BTCP, its for everyone.
@AiteCoin In a nutshell, we use the Blockchain itself for what it was intended: - a distributed, immutable ledger. As such, we need no memory anywhere in our process. The Blockchain is our memory. The concept is so simple, natural and innocent that I am shocked the idea took so long.
@exist34551199 Its hacked when someone gets the money. All else is an attempted hack. Saying "I didn't get the money, but was able to root the device, or: I was able to make the device a video player, is meaningless. When someone buys the device, they want to know you can't hack their money.
@Boatshoe_Bobby Thank you for your comment.
@Paula_Cumfty_2 Lol
@Kamui62552688 True. True.
@Paula_Cumfty_2 They found no vulnerabilities. Not a sf ingke "vulnerability" helped any get the money. Isn't this point? If the hack cant get the money, then what is the point?
@TonyVen66119334 I am. I'm enjoying this immensely.
@_theperfesser Not in my book.
@Paula_Cumfty_2 No
@bekeneguven Thank you for your comment
@raspalbhatia No one should buy any second hand hardware wallet. That's utter insanity.
When I say there is no memory on BitFi, I am talking about storage of any piece of information regarding the identification of the wallet, the seed keys, or the pass phrase. Obviously there is RAM, because there is an operating system. But the RAM is devoid of all meaningful data
@flyinghendrix Indeed. But how do you change anything while the user has it? The only workable vector for getting it into any users hands is to pretend it is original and sell on Ebay. Far more useful to build your own device, put it in our case and sell. Why go to the trouble of hacking?
@RayRedacted Of course. But nothing of value is in there.
@thejonmccoy Physical access is the problem. It's always been the problem in the hacking world. How do you do it? Move to the users town, befriend him, steal the device, hack it and put it back? Hijack the UPS truck delivering the product? Let's get real here.
@PringleGames Occasionally. Want hack a router and intercept the seed keys? Easier said than done.
@flyinghendrix Why not hack it? We send the the wallet we used to load $10 in Bitcoin. Take the $10 and we give you a quarter of a million. It's dead easy
@VanyoIvanov Pkease unfollow so I don't annoy you.
@Samyaaza It will always remain unhacked.
@BenHedges11 There's no excuse. Just pointing out facts. If you dont like the facts, you are free to whine as you are doing now.
@pr0t0type_X Exactly. There is nothing to hack anywhere in the process. The money exists only in the passphrase in the user's mind. You have reached the conclusion that I stated in the very beggining. There is nothing to hack.
@flyinghendrix You dont send ir back. What idiot is going to send you their wallet?
@AlenSalamun Lmfao
@NitrousDelivery I'm here. Get used to it.
@ComradeEevee Did they get they money? Try to stay on point. Could any of them seriously tell their friends: "I hacked the Bitfi wallet". Their friends say "Awesime. How much you get?" You say "I didn't get the money, but I built a video player from it". How embarrassing is that?

My interview with LearnCrypto about the future of the blockchain, the price of Bitcoin, the unhackability of the BitFi wallet and more. https://t.co/pSjUQOUdXu
@stunad620 Thank you
@HoboSantaCruz Relax. It will end good. Ot always does.
@grinder_o Yes. Go to https://t.co/jUUVmH77Mg for the rules.
@Doug4Now1 @stunad620 Exchanges will always be a target because of the huge potential.reward for the hackers. The problem will not be solved until we get truly functional decentralized exchanges, which we desperately need for a number of reasons.
@shmazsheikh Contact BitFi technical support.
@siobhanphoenix @Doug4Now1 @stunad620 That's my intent.
@TheCryptoPickle I'm here. Get used to it.
Don't forget my live streamed debate with security specialists tonight at 7:00 Eastern. The debate is about the hackability of the BitFi wallet. It should be extreme. https://t.co/D9MnkIcNCR
@RedPlumpTomato More than likely
@overused_meme Get the test wallet with the Bitcoins in it and take the coins. You'll make a quarter of a million dollars.
@RedPlumpTomato True
@RedPlumpTomato Mo one, ever got the money.
@RedPlumpTomato I did
@KooroshW Thanks for your comment. It you wait long enough, I won't be. At some point neither will you be my friend.
@itsN1X Sorry to disappoint
@splendid_hf @overused_meme Nobody took the coins. The rules have been clearly spelled out for weeks. Buy our wallet with $10 in Bitcoins installed. Get the $10 and we send you a quarter of a million. No one has done it. End of story. If you think you did it send us the proof.
@phaethons_ashes Thank you for your comnent
@utd2424 Which man? Who bought our wallet with the $10 in Bitcoin and got the Bitcoin? Those are the published rules. You cant make up your own fucking rules and expect yto get paid.
@smoke68_61 No worries
@cryptogeni No one did
@RowseyBrothers Ty
@jaykuhlar Thanks for making fun of my disease. The world needs more people like you.
@ryancdotorg @cryptogeni No one can get the coins. This is a certainty.
@barton_paul @RedPlumpTomato Then get the coins if it's so insecure. No has done it. No one will
@AbeSnowman @barton_paul @0xHyde @RedPlumpTomato Then get the coins if it's so insecure.
@blackroomsec @0xHyde @AbeSnowman @barton_paul @RedPlumpTomato @Bitfi6 Just get the money if you can. No one can
@HashTheCode Great. Then use the passphrase get the coins and take the water of a million if what you say is true. It isn't true or you would do it. Stop this nonsense. Can you get the coins or not?
@NathanKamm Then get the coins.
@jaykuhlar There is not
@splendid_hf @overused_meme No one got the coins. That's utter nonsense.
@Maccattack1 Thank God
@XatraInvest Coming
@Scuba_Matty No one got any coins.
@Maccattack1 Nope. No one got any coins.
@dotmops No one gas ramen a penny from the wallet. All these "hacked" claims are meaningless. No one came even close to taking coins from the wallet.
