So there’s a ton of drama around our friend and long time open source contributor djuri (npub1k5f…vqg2) project BTClock. As an official reseller (by taking over the shop of SatsVault - Wenze (npub1l72…gwtp) ) of Coinkite (npub12ct…c5ky) products like COLDCARD (npub19ca…qj29) and opendime etc. we now have to ask ourselves if we want to proceed with selling these products. The behavior of NVK (npub1az9…m8y8) against open source development in the space is strange to see. The products are fantastic, but why would you attack it with a cease and desist order?
So a request for comments and dialogue here on Nostr as one of the largest resellers of Foundation (npub1s0v…pq6j) SeedSigner (npub17ty…3mgl) BitBox (npub1tg7…cxmt) Blockstream (npub1jg5…6n8n) Jade, bitaxe, books and educational material and a lot of other products is in place. We just a couple of days ago restocked on coldcard Qs and to be honest the margins are the worst on the products out of any manufacturer. We always have significant stock levels because we want to be able to deliver directly and safely, we invest in this and therefore have high stock levels on the coinkite products currently. If we would dump the products this would mean a significant loss now and in future revenue. So this is a complex decision. Because a lot of people use these solutions for amazing setups with npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3 (npub1cvq…yjt3) and craigraw (npub1hea…g9v2) sparrow FE. So this post is a sentiment check. Let’s see how the bitcoin community feels about all this drama. We’re here for the bitcoiners. And will always supply what is asked by the plebs and we’re here for the plebs. Doing our best to supply freedom since #700.000. Oh and btw, every drama is good for bitcoin.
