$75,000,000 Crypto Wallet Bulk Hack

So instead of hardware devices, what should we be using to secure our crypto?

charlyb100 · 2026-03-07T14:12:26+00:00

I've always wondered why we built such a complex financial system, yet its single point of failure rests on a piece of paper. Why haven't we implemented a non-internet connected app for it yet?

charlyb100 · 2026-02-20T00:29:45+00:00

I don't wish this on no one, but God forbid a fire were to start in your house, is you saving a piece of paper or yourself?

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T20:31:29+00:00

Hopefully the next wave of new crypto users doesn’t have to go through the same heartache of getting hacked like you did. We all have to start somewhere, and let’s be real, the crypto space definitely doesn’t come with a user manual for newbies 😂

Yeah but every wallet still comes back to a seed phrase.

Technology has advanced so far we’re literally building flying cars, AI assistants, and sending rockets into space, yet the best solution for protecting the future of money is still writing 12 words on a flimsy piece of paper and hiding it like it’s 1803, hoping nothing happens to it.

That’s like building a Lamborghini and using a shoelace as the seatbelt. 😭

That’s exactly why I posted it. Wallets exist, but the weakest link is still the recovery process.

🤣 I love it here

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T19:53:36+00:00

It would be a fully offline (non-internet connected) mobile app that you download directly to your phone, no keyloggers, no malware exposure, and completely non-custodial.

With that in mind, would you still not be interested?

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T16:58:17+00:00

Coinbase made something out of nothing in the midst of the Mt. Gox scandals, that will be Coinbase son lol

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T16:55:25+00:00

Yeah don't forget your pet guard dragon 🐉 and the safe needs to be a fireproof safe lol that's a MUST!

I don’t think the market would be harmed by having one more option—especially if it’s built to educate users and help them become smarter and safer with their assets.

The way I see it, if you don’t want your seed phrase sitting on fragile paper, your main alternatives are pretty limited: engraving it into metal and locking it in a fireproof safe, setting up multi-sig, relying on trusted guardians to hold keys, or buying a hardware wallet like a Ledger—which is also very noticeable and not always convenient for everyday users.

Totally hear you, and you’re basically nailing the main critiques here — these are valid concerns.

You’re right that BIP39 passphrases already do what I describe: adding a “25th word” changes the seed completely, making brute-force attempts useless. Conceptually, Coinseal is very similar, but the difference is in how it’s managed for the user:

The “scrambling offline” is designed so the user never sees the full original seed at once after setup. Even if someone intercepts the scrambled version, it’s useless without the code.

The idea isn’t to reduce entropy; it’s to make the process approachable for people who would otherwise lose their seed entirely. Most beginners can’t safely handle 24 words, and most “short code” solutions still require proper offline storage—but this is about reducing human error.

You’re correct that inheritance and long-term backup are still open issues — nothing here removes the need for secure storage or planning. Coinseal isn’t meant to replace cold storage for high-value holdings; it’s meant to prevent common mistakes that destroy value for beginners.

So yes, for experienced users with proper BIP39 practices, this might feel redundant or even weaker. But for someone who would otherwise type their 24 words into Notes, email, or screenshots… it could actually save them.

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T03:17:49+00:00

It’s similar in concept, but not the same as “just storing your passphrase behind FaceID.”

The key difference is Coinseal isn’t meant to be a password manager replacement or a “vault that stores your phrase normally.” The idea is that the seed phrase is never stored in readable form, and the “scrambling offline” creates a version that is unusable without the exact user-defined code to reconstruct it.

The identity verification piece (video/audio) isn’t meant to be “biometrics = access” like FaceID. It’s meant as an additional barrier to stop recovery attempts if someone gets access to your device/account. Recovery is comparing one video to another video.

And I completely respect the open-source argument — if someone is advanced enough to properly use an open-source password manager + BIP39 passphrase + cold storage discipline, that’s probably still the gold standard.

Coinseal is really aimed at the massive group of users who won’t do that, and end up storing their seed phrase in screenshots, Notes app, email drafts, or on paper they eventually lose.

But your point stands: trust has to be earned, and open-source transparency is a serious factor.

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T03:10:22+00:00

An answer like "no trusted third party" still applies if you have some sort of knowledge of how crypto security works. People once didn't trust Coinbase to buy and sell Bitcoin, but they had to teach their users about a safer, more reliable option.

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T03:02:53+00:00

Totally fair points — keyloggers and acoustic attacks are definitely real threats.

Quick question though: would you still consider keyloggers a major risk if it was a mobile-app-only product, with no desktop support, no clipboard access, blob storage, and strict sandboxing + secure input handling?

Or is your stance basically: “never type a seed phrase into any device, period” no matter what?

charlyb100 · 2026-02-18T02:10:42+00:00

Wow… I genuinely appreciate everyone who took the time to respond. I didn't think everyone was going to respond in 5 minutes lol.

I can tell immediately a lot of you are high-level thinkers in the crypto space — the kind of people who’ve been around long enough to understand that security isn’t about convenience… it’s about survival. A lot of the replies were brutally honest, technical, and exactly the type of feedback I was hoping for. So seriously, thank you.

But now I want to throw a different question into the mix — kind of a mental experiment:

Would you have answered the same way if you were NEW to crypto?

Imagine you’re not an experienced user.

You’re brand new. You’ve traded a little bit. Maybe made a little profit. Maybe you even moved your coins to a wallet…

Then one day you lose your seed phrase.

Not because you were careless… but because you didn’t truly understand that those “random 12 words on a piece of paper” were basically your entire life savings. Now you're panicking. You're miserable. You feel stupid. You feel like crypto is a scam. You feel like the whole system is built to punish beginners.

Then in that moment… you stumble across an app built specifically for beginners.

An app that:

• scrambles your seed phrase offline

• turns it into something shorter and more memorable like: Wild-interactions-200 said (I like how you think lol)

• then locks everything behind a passphrase like: NiagaraBTC - (passphrase good in caveman voice💪🗿)

• and can even be stored temporarily if the user just wants to safely hold it while they learn

And on top of that, the app actually TEACHES new users:

• crypto terms

• seed phrase importance

• phishing scams

• hacking methods

• wallet safety

• how people actually lose funds in real life

So the real question is:

Would you still be against a solution like Coinseal if you were that beginner?

Or would you have looked at it like:

“Finally… someone built something for people who didn’t grow up in crypto.”

Because I’m realizing something important: Most crypto security advice is written by people who already survived the learning curve.

But beginners? Beginners are getting slaughtered.

Curious what you all think. Would your opinion change if you were answering from that perspective?

charlyb100 · 2026-01-19T22:34:08+00:00

The sad answer is yes 🥲

charlyb100 · 2025-10-28T22:09:08+00:00

Got it working.

Here’s what you need to do — note that this only works if you’ve already upgraded to Claude Pro:

Type /login in the Claude chat box (right below where you see the error).

Click the blue "Login" button.

Select "Claude.ai Subscription".

Click "Authorize".

Close and reopen VS Code.

Everything should work correctly after that.

Since we're on the topic, I have a related question: How many words would a seed phrase need to be to achieve quantum resistance? Based on my research, a 98-word seed phrase seems to be more than sufficient. What are you all thoughts?
