Now imagine nvk's angel-twin: kvn!
kvn built a fully open-source hardware wallet and has always been a big team player in the community, humble, supportive of other projects and people, and helping wherever possible. The wallet uses state-of-the-art libraries, and kvn's team always upstreams any changes. Now imagine that, even with all this, there happens to be a fatal flaw in the random number generator. Immediately upon being notified, kvn replies, "That sounds very critical, we don't take any reports like this lightly. We are on it. All hands on deck."
Within minutes of confirmation, kvn removes all ways to download the flawed firmware from their website, updates the website immediately with warnings. These warnings point to a single document that is being updated live with details: honest, plain, and clear sentences, with no BS. kvn pauses all sales and cancels deliveries in flight. kvn immediately posts warnings on socials, requesting that the community reach out to all users as fast as possible, and helps establish a massive community effort to do so. kvn works with the community to rapidly build source of truth guides to resolve various situations. kvn personally saves many people who's bitcoin was close to be stolen. Within hours, kvn issues a statement: "I am deeply sorry to every one of you. I failed you, I am responsible, and I will work day and night to make this as right as possible, even though the chances may be slim."
kvn immediately leaves the board of OpenSats and any similar involvements. kvn encourages a new red team operation to immediately try catching similar vulnerabilities in Bitcoin software and personally pays for the tokens. kvn invites the community to collaborate on a protocol to validate the rightful owners of the sats in the event that the stolen Bitcoin is retrieved using legal means. kvn creates a fund where he puts large sum of his money to attempt to return at least some portion of bitcoin to the users whose sats were stolen.
