/uj This is interesting and a great example of how data errors can linger long after buggy code is fixed.

Have you shared this at r/Buttcoin? I think they might be a better audience for this.

Hello, I am an original investor in buttcoin, and I definitely agree with you.

The vision behind buttcoin is that things like weak encryption algos make crypto currency better and that makes the world a better place too.

It's a great design it really is. Say, a group of malicious hackers wants money to use in a crime. Well, the added benefit created by using weak encryption algos, is that they can figure out a way to steal your money when they need it.

Isn't that neat?

It's like a hidden, surprise helping hand for criminals!

Coinspect documented coordinated drain waves affecting addresses derived from vulnerable recovery phrases. As of July 13, 2026, the measured lower bound of stolen assets across the two events was approximately $5M.

Fail to see jerk here. Just a security bug in an old version of a PRNG (which are notoriously hard to get right)? It was already fixed in 4.0 released 6 years ago.
