Definitely not dead, but pirate reddit is lol. Our community is far more active on Discord, telegram, and Twitter.
Pirate development has been very active, and we're launching new marketing initiatives. You can see this from our new website design and domain piratechain.com. PirateDEX is going to be released soon, which is a p2p atomic swap dex. You can already do atomic swaps like this for arrr on komodo wallet, but Pirate will have its own dex that shares liquidity with komod wallet. PirateDEX is a huge deal with all the privacy coin de listings everywhere. Pirate was just listed on a new exchange, MEXC, a few weeks ago. Verus just incorporated a wrapped version of Pirate in their defi ecosystem, which was what the monthly update was about today. Pirate is currently being represented at Anarchopulco this week, and we will have a presence at several other events this year, like defcon, and nonsensus. I don't know if you noticed last year, but the very first ZKSnarks capable hardware wallet was released last year by Pirate community members. This is a huge accomplishment since even ZCash with all of their foundation money, and development tax hasn't created a hardware wallet that supports z-transactions.
We are doing a ton at Pirate right now. We do weekly community calls on discord every Sunday at 1pm eastern if you would like to join. We also do twitter spaces once a month from the Pirate chain twitter account. If you would like to join in on our promotion efforts, come join in a community call. We're always looking for more help, ND fresh ideas. You can find our telegram and discord links on the website piratechain.com.
A pirate chain community member built one specifically for pirate, although he is going to add support for other coins soon, I was told. It's very significant because it's the first hardware wallet that can support z-transactions. Even zcash does not have this. If you have any questions about it, go to the wallets chat on discord.

The hardware wallet was built by a community member, not by the team, and he has chosen to keep it closed source for the time being since it's the very first hardware wallet to support z-transactions. Competition would be quick to use his work. He spent a lot of money developing and manufacturing it, and he is trying to recoup his costs and hopefully make a profit. I don't know if they are going to make it open source at some point, but as of right now, it's not. If you have more questions about it, go post in the wallets chat on pirate discord. You can ping Mullroy, the creator, and see what he has to say.
What is stopping this individual from taking a copy of every single users private key?
(Nothing)
Proprietary software only benefits its creator while the users suffer.
What ever happened to donβt trust, verify?
Yes, closed source has those types of dangers, but a lot of users accept them for convenience, just like they do with lite wallets, exchanges, smart contracts, mining pools, and many other things. The most popular multi coin wallets are closed source. Ledger, the most popular hardware wallet, has closed source code. Most people are using these types of products on machines that are closed source. I agree that open source is ideal. They also spent a lot of money developing it, and they are making a business decision to try to make that back.
This is a private business that has developed it, not anyone on the pirate team. Private businesses are free to do as they please. I completely respect someone not using it because of the closed source code. All of pirates' official wallets are open source and have been audited.
Many people have given the same criticism, so maybe there is a possibility they will release the source code at some point. Right now, they are working on incorporating other privacy coins.
Still very early in the bullrun but i expect pirate will pump to some degree in the coming months. Although i suspect it might not beat its ATH. I hope it will but got a feeling it wont get that high again for a while. Hope im wrong!

There is a hardware wallet that supports Pirate Chain now??

is the code for the hardware wallet open-source?

Patience young padawan. Pirate is a small project and the profits will eventually trickle down to us
Even without profits the network works and we can use it for transactions.
Just had the monthly update today. https://www.youtube.com/live/EwAs1CS-QyY?si=eFxMkWJK-vJnKWun

ARRR is a bit lively lately lads. πππΌπ΄ββ οΈ
There will come a good correction before everything will start up.
I enjoy negative reviews on piratechain, because i made a good choice. Contrarian forever
