Audit plans and timeline?

[paulmillr]

What are the plans for third-party audits of Brume by reputable, well-known vendors? Are there any timelines?

For example, an audit could focus on answering two questions:

1. Is TOR used in a safe way? Can users be de-anonymized?
2. Is software and its home-crafted dependencies well-protected against attacks?

Brume got at least $270k of investor funding and who knows how many via token ownership, kinda makes sense to spend at least some amount of it on ensuring privacy claims are sound.

Brume is still a moving piece of software being polished over and over, it's not a library nor a smart contract, so it makes no sense to audit it right now nor in the near future

[paulmillr]

Of course it makes sense to audit it. All popular / privacy-focused wallets have an audit at some point. All wallets are also "moving piece of software".

[hazae41]

Also your claims on token ownership are false accusations since the team had no premint

You seem like a jealous guy who got mad because we could be fairly funded and got money to develop

Stop sinning and start building

[paulmillr]

So, are you saying people should not give you money and expect feedback in return - instead, they have to build their own projects?

[hazae41]

I am asking YOU to build your own, because you're not giving feedback but orders, and you do this all day since we released our token, people who donated 9 months ago have never complained about anything about the development, they in fact use and appreciate Brume Wallet as is, only YOU are complaining and ordering stuff, again, I am asking, did you donate?

[paulmillr]

These are not orders: rather, a few questions by a random, concerned stakeholder.

[hazae41]

If you were really a concerned stakeholder you wouldn't be fudding all day since the release of our token, opening non-issues, and falsely accusing us of dumping tokens to finance ourselves, you're just a sinner and you know it

[hazae41]

You seem so entitled with all these issues you open

Did you donate to Brume? Are we using your money?

Maybe you want to throw away our money on an audit made by your friends?

[paulmillr]

Have you considered a possibility that ones who open issues may be actually the folks who've gave you money? You have responsibilities after you've took debt.

You can hire any of 100+ well-known audit firms.

[hazae41]

Our responsibility is building a software and a DAO to secure it, not throwing away the money on audits like VC-funded wallets whose codebase fit on three lines of code, thanks for the idea though, but no

[hazae41]

Since you seem to know better than me where to spend money and how, I invite you to build your own product and to raise from it :)

I'd also add that if you think Brume Wallet has financial debt from its crowdfunding, that's also false and you are dead wrong. Brume Wallet has been launched and was already working in late 2022, meanwhile our first crowdfunding was launched in late 2023. So our yearly crowdfunding has and will always pay for the past year, not the future year. Donations are not investment for the future year's work but rather payment for the past year's work. So Brume Wallet is not in debt at all, and if you used Brume Wallet during this year, then actually you are the one in debt from us. Hence people have absolutely no regard on where we put our money this year. Our current actions will enable the next year funding, not the other way around. If we fail to deliver what people want this year, they won't donate next year. If we succeed this year, they will donate next year. That's how we work and that's how we thrive.
