All I am saying is not broadcasting an emergency message on ALL the mass audience channels on which they promoted, what turned out to be, an exit scam, is a serious gap.
If there is a family out there who, like me, heard about Coldcard on RHR, still listen to those podcasts but do not monitor x or nostr constantly, and are now wrecked FOREVER, are you going to throw that barb at them?
It's reductive reasoning. Their job was to get the message out on all of their mass audience channels urgently & not to risk leaving a whole group of their audience exposed for 5 days.
I am sympathetic to their situation & human experience, which is horrible, but I think they might easily have saved more people with minimal effort & they should be called out on this so they can reflect & learn.
My anger at being left exposed by them has faded, but if I had been wrecked while I was exposed, I do not think I would be okay with it. Would you be?
We are just talking about posting a 5 minute video / pod over a 5 day period. npub1emdtsxly9m68m00x206t574jttp65vk0c2m89ms038q047yz7ylqcac9aw was helping people too after being warned by npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs , but he still went out like a warrior & appeared on as many podcasts as he could in a time critical way to warn as many people as possible.
This is how I found out & I am forever grateful for that.
Fark, as soon as I found out I stopped & thought, who have I mentioned Coldcard to and how can I ensure they are warned. I phoned that one person in the first five minutes & didn't wait five days.
Not good enough, and I stand by it. I am just saying this needs to be reflected on & learned from.
This is what best practice looks like:
quotingI tried my best to urge everyone to put out content asap on X. Many listened thankfully.
