The part in question is the
STM32F205RET6 ARM processor which is easy enough to order up at the
usual s
ources.
Unfortunately,
counterfeit parts are
epidemic in the components industry today, and the incentive to spin up a "special" one of these is...rather large
Can't you trust the usual places to source you clean parts? Where do SatoshiLabs order their parts?
Now you are starting to think. THAT is a very good question. One would hope that they have a secure delivery arrangement with the manufacturer...one would hope...their website is mute on the subject.
You guys had convinced me to get one until I read this post.
Is there any evidence to raise the minimum glimpse of suspicion? #doyouknowsomethingwedont?
I'd like to know how much damage one of these counterfeit parts can do? How nefarious can they possibly act in this context? Given the amount of dough other people have at stake, I suspect there's already been a lot of digging. I'm personally willing to risk being weirded by technology more than I'm prepared to have someone walk away with a paper wallet. But just barely.
