In this episode, Gustavo (@gustavojfe) welcomes Tristan Borges Solari (@tristanborgess), Freelance Technical Writer. We talk about Tristan’s experience launching two startups, Mining X and Veriphi, his rating of many Mexican cities and towns, Mexican culture, nightlife & dating, and how it compares to life in Montréal and Portugal. In the second part of the conversation, Tristan unpacks how the Coldcard Mk4 works by explaining the steps of pin setup, entropy generation, unlocking the device, passphrase generation, and what purpose each one of the two secure element chips and the microcontroller plays. We end up by talking about Coinkite’s latest product, the Q1 hardware wallet.
