Daniel Andrei R. Garcia

Bitcoin wallet reproducibility reviewer, build forensics operator, and maintainer of verification tooling around WalletScrutiny.

My work focuses on one question: can users independently verify that the Bitcoin wallet app or device they install corresponds to the source code and release claims made by its developers?

That means reviewing wallets, tracing build systems, writing reproducibility scripts, comparing binaries, documenting failure modes, and publishing evidence when claims do not match artifacts.

WalletScrutiny Review Work

As of the January 2026 WalletScrutiny snapshot, I was listed as author on 3655 of 6538 Bitcoin-related app/device pages: 55.90% of the tracked WalletScrutiny corpus at that point.

Collection     Authored      Total  Instances
----------     --------      -----  ---------
_android           1973       4604       1973
_iphone            1118       1336       1118
_bearer              49         49         49
_others              44         44         44
_hardware           387        421        387
_desktop             84         84         84
----------     --------      -----  ---------
TOTAL              3655       6538       3655

That work spans Android wallets, iPhone wallets, bearer instruments, hardware wallets, desktop wallets, and other Bitcoin-related custody tools.

Reproducibility Verifications

As of July 8, 2026, my local WalletScrutiny archive contains 286 reproducibility verification and endorsement report files for Bitcoin apps and devices.

Desktop        166
Android        105
Hardware        12
Endorsements     2
Unsorted         1
Total          286

These are hands-on verification records: build runs, artifact comparisons, reproducibility findings, and endorsement checks where I reviewed and compared the underlying evidence.

WalletScrutiny Commit History

As of July 8, 2026, my authored commits in the official WalletScrutiny GitLab history total:

Pinned Work

therobotbay.com

therobotbay.com is a work-in-progress robotics and automation project. Development is currently stalled by lack of funding, which limits hardware procurement, controlled test time, and sustained engineering focus.

With dedicated funding, the project could move from prototype work into structured benchmarking: repeatable test setups, performance measurements across comparable systems, cost/capability analysis, and published data comparing robot platforms, components, and automation workflows.

What I Work On

  • Bitcoin wallet reproducibility
  • Android and desktop build verification
  • Hardware wallet release review
  • Binary/source correspondence checks
  • Reproducible build scripts and containers
  • Wallet metadata triage
  • Nostr-backed verification publishing
  • Evidence-first software forensics

Operating Principle

No assumptions. Only evidence.

If a wallet claims to be open source, reproducible, or self-custodial, that claim should survive contact with the source tree, build instructions, release artifact, and binary diff.
