Yes and no. There is still some branding visible. If the person going through your stuff recognizes the branding it's game over. I have been thinking about the fact that it looks like a calculator or maybe an old 2FA bank token (those were popular in the UK like a decade ago, not sure now) but the problem is that it does not behave like one. Imagine my example with some LEOs checking your pockets. What is that? Oh it's a calculator. Can you turn it on? Game over again because if I recall correctly Coldcard devices require external battery and even if they had a battery installed there is still a matter of the software. You turn on such a device and it either states what it is or in the best case scenario, just asks for a pin. Well, that's not how a calculator behaves. It would be nice if the software of this kind of devices had like two modes: if you just turn it on, it goes to dump calculator mode or even just display an error, pretending it's broken, and the other actual hww mode that you can go into only if you turn it on e.g. holding one of other buttons, etc. I know I am a bit paranoid but if we want to pretend that Coldcard is a calculator then lets make sure it can hold to this story longer than 3 seconds.
This could be solved by raising the cost of posting. Not viable at the moment probably because SN is still kind of a PoC (not in terms of the tech stack and implementation, but in the sense that the concept of value-for-value on the interwebs is cutting edge) and scaring away users would slow momentum significantly, but I do think that down the line the cost of getting my attention should be more than 1 sat. Or maybe this can be implemented in custom feeds - have people "bid" by deciding how much they pay to post, and people can set a filter to only show posts that put down more than x sats, or have been zapped more than y sats, etc. What do you think @k00b?
